Chapter 11

'Cold' I thought, so cold. My body shivering, I turned over as I heard a voice, barely understandable. I ignored it at first, but the voice was persistent.

"Sokka?" it asked. I didn't move, the rope binding my wrists caused a burn mark to appear. It hurt to move. I felt dizzy, even with my eyes closed. I was falling back asleep I could feel it.

This time the stranger nudged me, its voice more urgent.

"Sokka!" I moaned and opened my eyes. I met the green eyes of the boy sitting in front of me. The familiarity in the eyes washed over me as I tried to think where I knew them from.

"Haru" I stated the name then remembered him clearly. I smiled up at him. He smiled back his eyes worried.

"Where is Katara?" he asked. He looked around for a minute before settling back on me. I took a deep breath. I knew he had a crush on Katara still. I knew because there was so much care in his eyes. As I let out my breath I closed my eyes.

"She's safe." I said but then added lightly "With Zuko" I know what I said devastated him. He got it perfectly. The worry turned to sorrow as his back was now facing me.

"Oh…" was all he could say. He turned back around smiling.

"Well at least you're here" he said, his smile definitely fake.

Just then someone burst threw the doors. There were loud gasps and children running to their mothers. A guard parted through the crowd, and stopped in front of Haru and me. He stepped aside and my heard fluttered as I saw Azula smiling down on me. She helped me up and undid the binding on my wrists.

"I missed you" she whispered in my ear. I blushed and hugged her. She had a waterbending nurse heal my wrists and ankles. I sighed in relief as the burning faded away.

"Okay, were out of here!" she said and started to walk. When I didn't follow her she looked back confusion in her eyes. I looked at Haru and then back to Azula, her being a smart girl, she got it right away.

"I demand this servant too" she pointed to Haru. Haru looked at me and then at Azula. He was scared, I could tell. I winked at him. He smiled and went with me, still a little nervous. We headed out toward a big Fire nation boat. Azula led me to her room, and Haru was led by a guard to the bathing room. He was excited, apparently he hadn't had a bath in four months.

Once we were in Azula's room, we couldn't hold back. She jumped into my arms, her lips landing perfectly on mine, and her arms looped around my neck pulling me closer. Her mouth parted slightly allowing me to taste her again. We kissed for a while, until we were out of breath.

Once we were finished, she smiled and said the three words that made my heart jump, my eyes widen, and a smile form on my face.

"I love you." And she just let me hold her. I decided Azula was the one, the one girl you know you want to spend the rest of your life with. "Azula, I love you too." I said and I could tell she was smiling.

"We'll be home in a couple of days, then you can go back to your friends." I heard her voice fad a little bit.

"It doesn't have to be that way Azula…" I said, she turned around my arms on her hips and her hands now on my chest. "Sokka…" she said searching my eyes.

"You don't have to be on their side, come join us" I said placing my forehead on top of hers gently she smiled "If only it was that easy" she stated pulling back. "If you guys want my help, I can give you that, but I cant stay with you. My father will be too angry to attack, he would win." She looked at me a tear falling down her cheek "I would love to be with you, I can't explain how much I yearn for that." She whipped it away, but another tear just took its place. "Shhh… Its okay" I said and pull her against me, allowing her to cry into my chest, brushing her hair with my hand. She pulled back a couple minutes later, eyes and cheeks tear stained, and looked me in the eyes smiling "Its better to attack the bull from the inside out… Don't you think?" she giggled a little, I smiled at her and we stayed in each other's arms for a while.

BACK WITH THE GANG

"Toph…." She heard her name being called, she moaned and turned over "Toph?" again she heard her name, then felt something soft and warm reach her lips, it slowly started to kiss her, she began to kiss back and when they backed off early she opened her eyes and saw a smirking Aang looking at her.

"Hey" He stated, smirk turning into a smile

"Hey" She replied "That's the best way ive been woken up.. in a long time" she stated, smiling. She giggled then got up one hand on her head supporting her.

"Wanna plan everything today?" He asked playing with her hair, moving it behind her ear.

"Mmmhm… that sounds good" she said closing her eyes.

They both got up and got dressed, walking into the kitchen, and making a cup of tea. Ready to discuss the vacation they would go on. When they entered the kitchen, they sat down Aang holding Tophs hand getting ready to discuss it. Where, when what they would do and everything.

"Katara… There's something I want to tell you" Zuko said as he stroked her hair, as they lay in bed together.

"yes?" she said turning around so they were facing each other. "What is it?"

Zuko gulped as he smiled and turned to get up. He went over to his dresser and opened a drawer, Inside was a small muffin. He gave it to her.

"Thanks Zuko" she said she bit into it. "Mmm" she said Blueberry her favorite. Then… She bit into something hard. Rly hard! She spit it into her hand thinking it was a nut… then she saw a beautiful ring.

"Zuko…" she said breathless. She looked at him and he smiled. "Katara, I love you… and I want to spend the rest of my life with you" He said his hand now on hers. "Will you marry me?" she looked up and him, and kissed him.

"There's no other man…" she said and kissed him again "I would love to"
