D-B-G.: Ch. 2- Keeta's past
They laid there that night, around the fire, talking.
"So what nation are you from?" Katara asked Keeta.
"I was born in the fire nation, hence the color of the clothes but I've always been loyal to the water and earth nations."
"Why are you fighting against the fire nation?" Katara asked.
"I don't believe in the fire nation. They are a hostile nation that can't be tamed and I don't want to be associated with them. Plus i dont like their leader..." Keeta said.
"Why do you want to fight lord Ozai then?" Aang asked.
"Well, he's …he's my father." Keeta said, "And I was sick when I was young so he gave me a really long name because he thought I would die. Zahanaaratakinitakeeta. Isn't that a horribly long name? It drives me crazy."
"Your father is Lord Ozai! Then you must be… Zuko's sister?" Sokka asked surprised.
"Yes. He's my twin brother. And I'm not proud of it either."
"Have you seen him since you left the fire nation?" Katara asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." Keeta said, "He gave me this huge scar on my arm."
"Really? Your own brother tried to hurt you?" Sokka asked.
"Yeah. But he didn't know it was me. But still… he has an attitude now that he never had before. He used to be such a nice person. But something no one can shake out of him has consumed him now. It's so sad to see him like that."
"You feel sorry for someone who hurt you?" Sokka asked.
"Yeah. Think about it Sokka," Keeta said sitting up, "if Katara tried to hurt you and hated your guts wouldn't you still love her and care about her?"
"Yeah. I guess I see what you're saying." he said.
Toph had fallen asleep by now and Sokka had yawned too many times to count. Katara was sort of half asleep.
Sokka and Keeta yawned at the same time and Keeta chuckled, "I think we all need to sleep. We can talk some more tomorrow."
Sokka laid there staring at the sky, until he herd a faint scratching sound. He looked over and Keeta had a book out and was writing something in it.
She looked up at him, "No. Lay back down. I'm almost done." Keeta said writing in her book again.
"Done with what?" Sokka asked.
"Alright. Done." She said and handed him the book.
She had drawn him over the bottom of a page, and it looked almost exactly like him, and she had written his name in the middle. On the page next to that was Katara's name.
"I always draw something before I go to sleep. And all the people I meet I draw a picture or two of them so that when I keep traveling I can flip through and remember them." She said.
He handed her back the book. "You're really good at drawing. That picture was amazing how real it looked."
"Thanks" she smiled and laid down.
"I'm glad we met you." Sokka said.
"I'm glad I met you all too." She said.
"Good night" he said.
"See you in the morning." She said and they both fell asleep almost instantly.
