Title: A Love That Couldn't Be Part 1: A Forced Love
Author: WishHe-LovedMe
Pairing: Zuko/Katara
Chapter: 11. Saving Katara part 2
Disclaimer: I do not own the movie Titanic, and if I did, I would be on some island in Hawaii.
Summery: Katara isn't a water peasant as Zuko seems to enjoy calling her. Her birthright entails her a lot more than that. This is the story of Katara; and how she discovered her past, controls her present, and forms her future. Zutara
Author's Note: Hey, there is a little bit of the movie Titanic in this chapter, again. Sorry about the shortness, but I liked the nice happy ending.
Saving Katara
Part 2
She plunged, letting out a piercing shriek. Zuko, gripping her hand, was jerked toward the rail. Katara barely grabbed a lower rail with her free hand. "Help, Help," Katara screamed. She was petrified. She wasn't as scared before when she was actually thinking of jumping off, but now, she can't seem to be anything but scared.
"I've got you. I won't let go." Zuko told a franticly moving Katara. He was scared that he might actually let her go, and then she would fall. He would have to jump in after her, and he didn't think either would make it. Zuko held her hand with all his strength, as he braced himself on the railing with his other hand. Katara tried to get some kind of foothold on the smooth ship. Zuko tried to lift her body over the railing. She couldn't get any footing in her nightgown, and she slipped back. Katara screamed again.
Zuko, awkwardly clutching Katara by whatever he could get a grip on as she flailed, got her over the railing. They fell together onto the deck in a tangled heap, spinning in such a way that Zuko wound up slightly on top of her. They were both breathing heavily, and they couldn't catch their breath, so Zuko stood up, Katara followed soon after. Once they could breath Katara said, "Thank you," her eyes looking everywhere but at the Fire Prince.
Zuko looked at Katara. "We should… we should probably be getting to bed." He said.
"Yes, we probably should." She agreed.
The two went off in different directions, and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
