Zuko and Katara in the 21st Century

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, it's because I'm very busy. I'm packing to go to New Mexico, so yeah. I won't be back for two weeks and if your reading this then you know that I posted a new chapter late at night. Anyway, once I get back from New Mexico, I might not be able to update because orientation for school is coming up and then I have school shopping, plus I will be planning my Sweet 16! Yay me!

Anyway, thanks for being patience with me; thanks to all my reviewers that reviewed and still read this story.

Chapter 25: Katara is missing

(Zuko 1st person)

I woke up do to the banging on my door. I reached for my cell phone, to check the time. It was exactly three in the morning and on top of that my class started in four hours. I got out of my bed, still drowsy and walked to my door. I opened it up and there stood a familiar face, but I was too tired to care.

"Where the hell is my sister; what did you do to her?"

I scratched my head, because I was still confused. "And you are?" I asked.

"You idiot; I swear, Sokka ,that is who I am."

"Sokka?" I questioned.

"Zuko, have you seen Katara? She has been missing since after her date with Haru." In a instant I was wide awake.

"Wait, Katara is missing!" I practically yelled.

"No stuff, Sherlock." Sokka said, with hints of sarcastic ness. I ran to my closet and pulled my sweats on, with a jacket. Then walked out of the room and into the kitchen to get a flash light. While I was looking I ask Sokka to explain tome again what happen.

"She is missing, Zuko. I don't know what to do; I searched everywhere. I searched her favorite places, I went to our mother's grave, I checked everywhere and I can't find her. Gran-Gran is worried and she does not need another burden." He said.

I had found the flashlight and had gotten a few extra batteries."Don't worry; I think I know where she is." I said. We both went to my five car garage and got in a random car. I pulled out of the drive way and drove off my estate.

"Where is she? Where are we going?" He asked me.

"We are heading to the beach." I said. "Katara loves the water and she will be there."

"How come I did not know that?" He said. I do not know if he was talking to himself or me but I answered anyway.

"You called yourself, a brother." I said and he just gave me a 'humph.' We arrived at the beach in twenty minutes. I parked the car and we got out.

"Sokka, stay calm." I said.

"I am calm, mister I do not cheat on my sister." I eyed him and pretended I did not hear what he had said.

"Why don't we split up and meet back here in twenty minutes. He nodded and we went our separated ways.


After searching for ten minutes, I was just about to give up, but that's when I saw her. She was standing in the ocean looking at the stars. The water was crashing on her back, but she didn't budge.

"Katara!" I yelled and started running towards her. She turned around and her once full of life blue eyes, had no life in them anymore.

"Katara." I said and she just looked at me. She smiled at me and then my body was yearning for her touch.

"I'm so sorry, Zuko. I know I shouldn't have, but I did. My life was crumbling apart; it seems like everything I love withered away or was taken away from me. So I figured I would …" She didn't continue, she just stopped and smiled again. I looked at her and tried to figure out, what she was talking about. That's when I saw it; on her left wrist, trailing down her hand and into the water.

Blood.

Katara had cut her wrist. I looked from her wrist to her face and she just continue to smile. She moved farther into the water and then she fainted. I ran the fastest; I ever did in my entire life. The cold water hit my body like hot water would burn your skin. I grabbed her and carried her to land. Just as I got there, her brother came up. He ran over to us.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Sokka, call 911!" I yelled, trying, to stop the bleeding.

"Why is she bleeding?" He asked, in a panic voice.

"Sokka, called a fuckin ambulance!" I yelled. He looked at me and started dialing 911.


Sokka, Gran-Gran, Zula, Aang and I were waiting in the lobby at the hospital.

The doctor came out and walked over to us.

"Is she going to be okay?" Gran-Gran asked in a panic, yet calm voice.

"She lost a lot blood, but Katara is a survivor. She was brought to the hospital just in time; she will be fine. All she needs is rest. You can either stay the night here or I can call you in tomorrow to let you know how she is doing." the doctor said.

"I will stay." I said and they all looked at me. Gran-Gran walked up to me and looked at me.

"You will let me know if anything happens right."

"Yes." I said. She nodded and then they left. The doctor led me to Katara's room and left us alone.

I looked at Katara and my heart stopped, but I was furious at her.

"Katara how could you…why did you want to commit suicide? Why?" I asked. I knew I wasn't going to get a reply, but by doing this it released some pain in my heart.

"Katara you have people who love you." I said. "How could I not see the pain that you're in?" I walked up to her and then I realized that I was crying. That's when it hit me, I was afraid of the thought of losing her.

I love Katara….
