Chapter 35

Sorry

They were still hiding for Ozai, just staring at him. Iroh was thinking of a way to escape without being noticed.

Zuko turned his hands into fists. The man blocking their way to the cave used to be his father, the man every son respected most of all. But Ozai was different. He was evil enough to banish his own son and, maybe, even kill his own wife. What if what he told them was true? What if he really had killed Ursa?

He felt anger boiling in his body. He stood up and Iroh gasped.

'Zuko! Get down!' he said. But Zuko didn't listen to him. He didn't want to run away for Ozai, he didn't want to forget everything. Everything that he had done to him.

So he walked to the entrance, while iroh smacked himself on the forhead.

'That little stubborn…' he whispered. Katara wanted to follow him, but Sokka held her.

Ozai saw Zuko and rolled his eyes, while a grimace appeared on his face. The guard held their hands ready to bend, but Ozai shook his head.

'Leave him, this one is mine.' he commanded. The guard obeyed and Zuko climbed up the few rocks, crawling up in front of Ozai. They stared each other in the eyes for a while and Ozai lifted an eyebrow.

'What do you want?' he asked. Zuko frowned and pointed at the cave.

'You know very well what I want, I want to go in!'

Ozai sighed and shook his head. 'Being that stubborn will kill you someday, you know.'

'I don't care!' Zuko snarled. 'Step aside and let me in!'

Ozai pretended that he was thinking and rubbed over his chin.

'Uhm, how shall I put this… What about: No?'

He laughed and the guard automaticly laughed with him. Zuko growled and pushed Ozai aside, making the firelord fall on the rocks.

Everyone gasped. That was a bad move.

Ozai crawled back up. He lifted Zuko by his collar and stared in his eyes.

'That was very stupid, you know…' he said.

He hit Zuko in the face and threw him on the rocks, making him moan in pain.

Katara gasped and jerked the arm of her brother away. She ran to Zuko and Ozai smiled.

'Look who's there, Zuko, it's your bitch!'

Zuko growled and kicked against Ozai's leg, making him fall again. He crawled back up and turned his head to Katara.

'Katara! Go back!' he yelled. But Katara wouldn't listen to him. She climbed on the rocks and jumped in Zuko's arms.

'Thank god you're alright!' she cheered. Zuko gasped when he saw Ozai crawling up again. He pushed Katara aside, making sure the flames Ozai suddenly shot wouldn't hit her.

Katara stared at the flames, hitting down on the ground next to her. Zuko stand in front of her, in protection. He didn't want her and the baby to get hurt.

'Leave her alone, Ozai!' he yelled. Ozai shook his head and sighed.

'Zuko, Zuko… If you don't want anything to happen to your girlfriend, then you should have kept her at home. It's really dumb to take the ones you love with you on an adventure.'

Zuko helped Katara up and held her behind his back. She peeked with him over his shoulder.

'It isn't really smart to kill the ones you love either!'

Ozai laughed loudly. 'That's exactly why I kept you alive two years more than nessecairy!' He glared at him with a grimace on his face. 'I don't love you.'

Zuko became furious. He ran to his father to hit him, but Ozai simply avoided his fist. He pointed at Katara and coughed.

'Don't move.' he said. Zuko stared at Katara and gasped. A few guards had her in their grip. She kicked around her as hard as she could, but her legs weren't long enough to hit the guards. Zuko bit on his lip, thinking about Haru. Katara was very vulnerable in this state.

So he listened to Ozai and didn't move a single muscle. Ozai stepped toward Katara and frowned a bit. He lifted her head by her chin and looked in her eyes.

'Something is different about you…' he said. Katara growled and tried to bite in his hand, but Ozai pulled it back quickly.

'Filthy snake!' he snarled. Zuko did his very best to stay calm, but that wasn't easy for him.

'Don't touch her!' he yelled. The moment he came a step closer, the guards locked their hands around her neck. She gasped and bit on her lip. Slowly, Zuko took a step back, so the guards would take their hands back.

Ozai frowned again and had a better look at Katara. Something was different about her, but what? His messenger told him they were looking for this cave, but perhaps there were certain things he didn't knew?

He turned his head to Zuko and crossed his arms.

'She's changed, why's that?' he asked. Zuko refused to answer him. If Ozai would find out about Katara's pregnancy, who knew what could happen next.

'It's been a while since we met, you know.' he said, trying to avoid other questions.

Ozai squeezed his eyes till small lines, so he could see her better. Something was different…

Suddenly, Iroh knocked one of the guards down. He kicked an other guard away and pointed at Katara.

'Get them away from here!' he yelled. Zuko grabbed Katara and pulled her with him, jumping off the rockslide. Sokka and Aang attacked the other guards, protecting Katara and Haru.

Ozai left the fighting mob, following Zuko and Katara. He just had to know what was going on. What did Iroh say? Get THEM away from here?

He ran over the rocks, and it didn't took him too much time to catch up with them. He jumped down, so he could block their way. He held his hands ready to bend and aimed for them.

'Don't even think about escaping!' he said. Zuko held Katara close and glared at Ozai.

'If you dare to harm her, I swear I'll kill you!' he snarled. Ozai rolled his eyes and a grimace appeared on his face. He shot flames at Zuko, startling him, so he would let go of Katara. After that, he had a chance to grab her. He held his hand by her neck and gave Zuko a fake smile.

'Oh? You don't want me to harm her? Is that what you want?' he said, teasing Zuko. Zuko stood a few meters away from them and bit on his lip, staring at Katara. Katara didn't dare to move. She felt Ozai's hand close by her neck, afraid for the flames he could shoot every moment now.

Zuko held his hands up, as if being arrested. Ozai held her by her waist and his hand was locked around her neck, her body pressed against him.

'Okay, I won't harm her. See? She's fine, nothing to worry about…' he said, while his hand clenched on her waist. Zuko growled in anger and saw the frightnend look in her eyes.

'You're annoying her!' he said. Ozai lifted an eyebrow.

'Oh? I am? Well, I guess that's not the same as harming her, right?'

Zuko pressed his teeth together. For Ozai all of this was a game, a silly game he played very often. Playing with other peoples lifes and dreams. Zuko made fists out of his hands, trying to stay as calm as possible. Ozai's face came closer to Katara's, their noses were only a few inches away from each other.

'Am I harming her now? No? Oh, that's great then! That means you wouldn't mind if I did this…'

He pretended to bite in her nose and Katara gasped. He did it a few more times, it made her scared. He laughed loudly, it seemed like he enjoyed teasing her like this.

'Or this…' he said. Zuko gasped when he saw Ozai's head lowering, to her neck. His tongue ran up over her tender neck and Katara couldn't help to screech. The wet, warm feeling of his tongue made her feel disgusted, if she wouldn't know better she'd puke in his face.

'Stop that!' Zuko commanded. Ozai laughed even more and turned his head to his son.

'I understand why you picked this girl out as your girlfriend.' he said. His hand on her neck slid up to her cheek, and back down to her neck. 'She has such a soft skin…'

His hand fell even lower, and Zuko gasped the moment his hand slid down in her collar, over the tender skin of her chest. Luckily, the earth under Ozai's feet rose up, pulling the firelord with it in the sky. He dropped Katara and Zuko catched her just in time.

Toph came from behind the rocks and a grimace appeared on her face.

'Hehe, stupid firelord…' she said.

Aang, Sokka and Iroh came as well. Iroh pointed at the cave and didn't notice the pilar of earth next to him.

'We have to go, we can come back next month. But we can't take the risk of being caught now!'

Everyone agreed with him, and they ran back to the ship. Zuko held Katara briding-style, so she wouldn't have to walk. Ozai had frightnend her way too much, she was no longer able to move a muscle. He held her tight and burried his face in her neck, releasing a deep sigh.

'I'm sorry…' he whispered.

(Damn, Ozai really is an evil guy! It's not that I can't stand him, actually I really love to write stories with this character in it. I hope you liked it, it was a pretty important chapter for this part! REVIEW!:D)
