Katara looked at her brother, she was shocked that he would even suggest such a thing. Then she remembered that Sokka didn't know that she loved him. The waterbender sighed.
"What're you talking about?" She asked him and Sokka blinked a few times due to shocked.
"You can return home, to your family, and leave this jerk!" Sokka exclaimed and Katara looked at her brother.
"Zuko's not a jerk!" She exclaimed and Sokka raised an eyebrow.
"Did you forget that he kidnapped you and brought you to the Fire Nation?" He asked his sister and thought that something else happened to her.
"I didn't forget that, but I love him." The waterbender told her brother and he was shocked and angry.
"How can you love him? Did you forget that the Fire Nation, his nation, killed Mom?" The warrior asked her and tears formed in Katara's eyes when Sokka mentioned their mother. Katara had never really gotten over their mother's death and hated when anyone brought it up, "Come home with me."
"I refuse." Katara told him and her brother grabbed her hand.
"Katara, you have to come home with me." Sokka told her and she looked at him.
"No, Sokka." She told him and he sighed. Sokka let go of his sister's hand and turned around, his back was facing her.
"Fine! If you want to betray your family and stay here with that jerk, then fine!" He said and began to walk away.
"Sokka, you're my brother and I love you, but I can't just leave. I love Zuko." The waterbender told him and Sokka turned around. He grabbed his sister's hand again and pulled her to a Water Tribe ship. Katara tried her best to get her hand away from Sokka, but Sokka held his sister's hand harder as he continued to drag her to the ship, "Why are you doing this?" She asked him as she continued to try to get free from Sokka's grasp.
"I know that you want to go home. Trust me, it's for your own good." Sokka told his sister and tears formed in her eyes.
"Do I even have a say in this?" Katara asked as he pulled her onto the ship.
"No." He told her as the ship set sail. Katara looked at the Fire Nation and noticed that it was getting smaller as they got farther away from it. She wanted to fight her brother, but didn't want to hurt him.
Zuko was wondering what was taking Katara and her brother so long. He walked over to where they were and didn't see them anywhere. The Fire Lord came to the conclusion that Katara went back to the South Pole. Iroh saw his nephew and walked over to him.
"What's wrong, nephew?" Iroh asked and Zuko looked at him. The former general noticed the pain in his nephew's eyes.
"Katara's gone. She must've left me." Zuko told his uncle and then noticed that Iroh looked guilty, "Uncle?"
"I might have accidentally told Sokka something..." Iroh told his nephew and Zuko looked shocked, "I was being sarcastic. I didn't really think that he would kidnap her!" He said in his defense. Zuko glared at his uncle, angry at him for actually telling Sokka something. The Fire Lord guessed that Katara's brother didn't notice the sarcasm.
"Uncle, how could you?" He asked and Iroh looked at the ground then at his nephew.
"It was an accident, nephew, I'm sorry." The former general said and Zuko became frustrated. The Fire Lord walked to his room and packed somethings. Then he walked to the docks and order a soldier to get him a ship. When the ship was prepared, Zuko got on it and then the ship took off towards the Southern Water Tribe. Zuko wondered why Katara would go back to the Southern Water Tribe so easily.
Katara looked at her brother and was upset. Sokka did notice, but still believed that something happened to her. The warrior thought that Katara was forced to marry Zuko, and he would never know how right he was. His sister wasn't about to tell him what happened when she was brought to the Fire Nation, even though Sokka did want to know.
"Sokka, why did you have to drag me onto a ship to go back to the South Pole?" The waterbender asked her brother and he looked at her.
"Trust me, Katara. This is what you want. Zuko probably brainwashed you or something." Sokka told her and his sister became very angry.
"I'm not brainwashed!" Katara exclaimed and Sokka ignored her, "Did you even get my letter that said I'm fine?"
"I figured that Zuko made you write it." He told her and she glared at him.
"No one forced me to write it! I wrote it out of my own freewill!" She yelled at him and Sokka ignored her again. He thought that his sister was insane. Katara grew even more frustrated and stormed away from her brother.
"We're almost home!" Sokka exclaimed when he saw Katara again.
"Joy." She said, sarcasm was evident in her voice. Sokka chose to ignore his sister's sarcasm and walked back to the deck.
Author's Note: What's going to happen next? Is Katara going to stay in the South Pole?
