Katara jumped recognizing that voice all to well, but before she got fully turned around a dark arm slammed past her face into Zuko. Zuko's head was only thrown to the side by the impact but this didn't discourage Sokka.

Sokka stared at the prince in disgust and jerked his arm out ripping the chain off of Zuko's neck.

"Sokka! What are you doing!" Katara ask in a stern voice, but the look that Sokka gave her sent shivers down her spine, it was a look at had never crossed his face before. He just stared at her.

"I can explain." Sokka's nose curled up as his sister spoke.

"You can explain? Tell me how you can explain a filthy firenation fucker like this wearing the only thing that we have left of our mother around his neck!" Sokka yelled getting in her face. Zuko stared at Sokka, just waiting for his love's sibling to make the wrong move. With a puny strike like that Zuko knew he could take him easily. Sokka turned back and looked at Zuko with fire in his water tribe eyes.

"You ever touch my sister again I will kill you." Zuko smirked and nodded his eyes full of deviance and malice.

"I'm sure you will.." Katara caught the venom in Zuko's voice and placed her hand on his chest as a small gester for him to calm down. This didn't boad well with Sokka. In a faster speed then Katara had ever see her brother move, Sokka grabbed her wrist and jerked her away from Zuko very roughly. Zuko glared at Sokka and his arm shot up grabbing Sokka around the throat.

"You do not be that way with her!" Sokka threw the prince's arm off of him and puffed his chest up.

"You are nothing to her so BACK OFF!" Zuko stood his ground, it wasn't like him not to. Katara could see that something bad was about to happen.

"Yes he is Sokka!" Sokka turned and looked at his sister.

"What did you say?"

"I said he is something to me! I love him!" Katara said her voice full of passion driven rage. As she screamed this a sudden and fierce wind gusted past all of them. Zuko grabbed Katara to keep her from falling, even though the likely hood of her falling was tiny. Katara was again jerked away from Zuko by her brother, causign her to glare daggars at him. Pulses of wind came in rapid succession each burst more powerful then the next.

Katara looked down at her hip where her water pouch seemed ready to explode with pent up pressure. She looked around frantically, she knew what was causing this, but she didn't know where Aang was. Then the three seen the avatar, but with the arrows glowing brillantly in the avatar spirit it would be hard to miss him.

Even though his eyes were void there was still emotions nestled within them, many of them mangled and hard to distinguish one from another. His hnadsd were bent into fists and his voided eyes seemed focused on Zuko.

A fire ball blasted from the encircling wind from Aang, and blazed towards Zuko. Zuko just snarled his nose and sent the fire back to Aang. The fire ball diminished and the ashes fell to the ground as it touched the wind that surrounded the avatar. Zuko brought his own sphere of fire to his hand as he readied himself to throw it.

Katara's eyes got wide. This wasn't going to happen. She ran over to him and grabbed his face and made him look at her.

"It doesn't have to be this way!" Just as Katara finished her sentence she lurched forward and looked up at Zuko. The fire dissappered from his hand as he caught her as she started to fall. She began to cough trying to catch her breath, but the only thing that happened was with her coughing came blood. Zuko stared in horror as he leaned her against him and looked down at her back.

A spear of ice was embedded deep in the middle of her back. Zuko's eyes flared as he looke dup at the Avatar.

The wind had died. The glowing had stopped. And Aang was standing there his eyes wide as he stared at the blood pouring from Katara's back. He looked up ato her face and seen teh blood trickling down from her lips and onto Zuko's chest.

Zuko carefully kneeled down with her, but she grabbed his chest.

"No, no no, pull me up!" She said in a harsh whisper. Zuko heart began to race, as he realized every time he tried to move her to help, he was hurting her by mistake.

Sokka ran over and grabbed his sister from Zuko, throwing Zuko back. Katara winced in pain as the spear was pulled away from Zuko. The ice had went through and through and just the point had stabbed into Zuko.

Aang couldn't move. He knew what he had done, but he didn't know that he had done it. He remembered her saying that she loved the prince, and after that was more of a blurr. She wasn't supposed to love that man, she was suppose to fall in love with him. Aang then realised what had set off his avatar spirit. Jealousy. His rage towards Zuko had brought out the worst of him and the best of his powers.

Aang finally got his feet to move, when a scream escaped Katara's mouth, as Sokka laid her down on her side.

Zuko squinted his eyes and growled his body eruptin g in flames but extinguished as he took off in a full sprint in the other direction, tearing his way violently through the crowd that had gathered.

Aang knelt down beside Katara and looked at her, tear pouring from his eyes.

"I would never hurt you Katara..." he said through his sobs. Katara looked up at him with her kind eyes. She always was understanding even if she didn't need to be, and dammit now wasn't the time.

"Don't." Was all she said. She looked up at Sokka who had her head laying in his lap. He too was in tears, which would gather and drop down onto her hair.

"I'm sorry, but I still love him..even if I have to die to prove it." This statement that was spoke in such pain, was almost to painful for the others to hear. Aang broke down and wrapped his arms around Katara. He would die before he hurt her, but he couldn't control himself!

Sokka's display was much more discrete. He just bit down on his lip tryign to force the crying back bringing blood to his own mouth.

Zuko stumbled as he held his stomach. He hadn't even realized that the ice had gotten him until he had started running. His legs pumped harder. He had to get to the doctor. IF he didn't she would bleed to death. And as he told her, he already lost her once, he'd be dammed if it happened again.

Hahaha Another cliffy! No more I promise...maybe..we'll see. There are a few of ya'll I do expect to see reviews from, b/c you review every time...I'll know if you don't... :D Peace, Love, and Cookie Dough
