Water Angel

Chapter One

It looked to be past midnight by the position of the full moon in the sky. The stars shown brightly through the night sky as well. Katara sighed for she could not sleep. There was this dream she has been having for about a week now. It had the same thing happen over and over again, except every night there would be more added to the end. It was impossible for her to fall asleep now with another figure in her dream.

'He looked so much like…ah what am I thinking, that would never happen,' she said to herself.

'I might as well go do some bending. It always relaxes me.' She stood up and walked out of the campsite in search for a river to supply her with water to bend.

As she walked through the forest the cool wind breeze came and hit her face. At the same time she came to a river. The air carried the sent of the oceans salty smell.

"I'll be fine. We must have lost Zuko by now so I should be fine," she said in her mind.

She started doing the bending the water to her liking. With the twist of her hands she bent the water to circle her body. She then stretched it thin and long. With a flick of her wrist she did the water whip perfectly with a good 'CRACK' sound. She then paused and thought of what to do. Water circled around her body in droplets.

Then she started bending figures with the water. They were simply just of the people she knew of. Katara then bent two figures leaning in to each other. One female, the other male. They looked peaceful together and interesting. The male was warring a type of fire nation out fit, while the female wore a water tribe out fit. The thing that inters her the most was that they had angel wings. She then froze the water figures and caught it before it fell to the ground.

"Why is it I dream of you people?" she asked her self. She raised the ice figures in the air to reflect off the full moon.

Then she started to sing,

Hush little one.

Don't cry anymore.

There may be a war going on but,

Go to sleep and you shall be

In a place where dreams come true.

Where you can go to heaven and fly

With the angels

Any time.

Go to sleep,

Don't think of this war.

Just dream of what,

Makes you happy at the time.

So sleep little one.

Don't dream of fighting

In this time of war.

So just close your eyes

And fall asleep

In to the world of

Dreams.

She sighed and looked torahs the moon. It lit the night and made it look friendly. The breeze came up and blew in to her face. This time it didn't have the smell of the ocean, but something else.

"Well, well look at what we have here," came a strong all to knowing voice.

"Now be careful out there Prince Zuko," said Iroh.

"Yes Uncle," said an annoyed fire nation prince.

"Lets move out," said Zuko to the six of the solders he was taking with him.

Zuko was going in to the forest with some of his men to look for the avatar. He had spotted him heading to the island long time before nightfall. He was sure this time he would capture the avatar tonight. As they walked through the moon lit forest Zuko heard a loud 'CRACK' sound. He changed his direction to where he heard the sound, thinking it was the avatar. 'I will soon have the avatar,' thought Zuko. They soon herd running water and thought they were getting close to a river, and they were right. When they were starting to see a clearing they saw the river and not the avatar, but the water bending girl that travels with him. She was just standing there with water circling around her.

Zuko signaled to some of his solders to circle the girl, but stay hidden. As they got in to position and a waited the princes orders they hid them selves. The prince was against a tree just a little to the right of her. He tilted his head so he could see what she was doing at the moment.

When he looked at her the moonlight was hitting her form just right.

'Wow she looks like a moon goddess when moonlight hits her form. Ah what am I saying she is the enemy,' thought Zuko. Zuko was shaken out of his thoughts when he saw her bending the water in to what looked to be people. She kept that up for a minute or two. Then she bent two figures leaning in to each other.

He saw her freeze them and catch it before it would fall and shatter.

"Why is it I dream of you people?" he herd her say to her self.

Then he heard her singing. Her voice was soft yet strong and gentle.

'That song is familiar. Wait her voice sounds a lot like how an angle would sing.' Thought Zuko as he listened to her sing. 'She is a lovely singer… ah what am I thinking. She is the enemy.'

Then the song stopped. So Zuko took the chance now. As he walked out of the forest he saw that she hadn't seen him yet.

"Well, well look at what we have here," said Zuko.

Katara turned to her right and there was the last person she wanted to see.

"Zuko," said Katara. Just then solders came out in a circle around her.

'Damn you Zuko. No wait I have my element right behind me,' she thought as she bake up slowly to the river be hinder her.

"Where is the avatar?" demanded Zuko as he took a step forward.

"Yah right like I would I tell you where my friends are." Said Katara.

"I'll ask you one more time. Where is the avatar water bender?"

"I'm not telling you any thing Zuko."

"Then you will be my prisoner. Get her!"

"I don't think so Zuko." Said Katara, and right when some of the solders came after her she made a wall of water surround her and froze. While half of the solders stopped the others didn't stop in time and hit the ice. Katara unfroze the ice jump over the bodies of the fallen solders.

Zuko had seen this and was slightly impressed. He then shot a fireball at her, but she blocked it with a wall of water. She then knocked out most of the men with her water whip. She had also hit Zuko with. Next she made water drop lets in to shards of ice that surrounded her. Then she sent them to all the fire benders. Now only Zuko stood there in front of her.

"Seems like you are getting tired." Said Zuko.

Katara didn't say any thing. She stood there little beads of sweat coming down her face. Just then Zuko sent two enormous fireballs at her one fallowing the other. Katara put a shield of ice up and blocked the first one, but the second one broke the ice and burned Katara's hands. She screamed in pain as her hands felt the heat burn her skin.

She was now kneeling down on the ground as fire benders came closer. She suddenly opened to show her eyes were glowing a cobalt blue as she stood up water circled around her feet. Soon all the men were face first in the ground except Zuko.

Then water rose and started to circle her whole body. Zuko try to put it but it never went down. The water soon went faster around her body. Suddenly there was a blinding light. Zuko had to shield his eyes.

When the forcing light was gone Zuko and half of his conscious solders uncovered their eyes to see what happened.

Zuko stood shocked at what he saw. The girl was…
