UNTOLD STORY 2
ZPOV
"He did what?" I yelled while jumping up off of my meditation mat.
"Your father is putting you into an Arranged Marriage." Uncle Iroh said as he put out the candles. "I'm sure Princess Katara is a sweet girl."
"I don't care if she is sweet. She is from the southern water tribe! She is nothing more then a dirty Peasant." I huffed.
"Now now, she is coming all this way to see you. The lease you could do is be nice to her. If not for her for your Uncle and nation." Iroh said as he set up his tea set. "now come and have some tea with your old uncle."
Zuko sat down and tried to calm down. He was so mad at his father. "when is she getting here?" Zuko asked hesitantly.
"Any moment now." Iroh answered while not looking up from pouring tea.
"In a few hours?!" Zuko shouted while jumping up and started pacing. "it takes a month for a trip to the South Pole and a month back. That means He has been planning this for over 2 Months." Zuko stopped his pacing. "and he didn't feel the need to tell me until she was almost here."
"yes" Iroh answered the unsaid question. He suddenly turned stoic. "he didn't want you to run before she was already here. Now that she is arriving you are responsible for her life. Whatever plans we had are going out the window."
"And he knows that." Zuko said as he sat back down.
"here, prince Zuko." Iroh said as he passed a cup of tea. "tea makes everything better."
Zuko took it without actually looking at it. "what do I do?" he asked while he just stared at the wall.
"Well first we meet her. You never know, you might end up loving her one day." Iroh said as he took a sip of his tea. "mmmn a good cup of jasmine tea makes everything better." iroh said as he breathed in the smell that was coming off of his tea.
They sat in comfortable silence till a servant came in and told them Princess Katara had arrived.

"Come this way." a servant told me while walking off. I hurried to catch up, but this dress they shoved me in made me trip over the hem. How in the spirit world was I suppose to do anything in this thing?
I bumped into the servant as he stopped abruptly. "we are here." he said as he nodded to one of the guards to open the door. The door was beautiful. It had two golden dragons carved into it. The dragons swirled together fighting in a mixture of circles and colors. All to soon the doors opened.
"you may enter." the servant told me. "the Fire Lord and the princes are inside." the servant said as he walked off.
I took a fortifying breath before I took the first steps inside. As soon as I stepped in I could feel the heat coming off of the flames in front of me. It was unbearable.
"ahhh, Princess Katara, we have been expecting you." a man said behind the fire. He had a air of intelligence mixed with arrogance. This must be Fire Lord Ozai.
"I'd hope so." I mumbled under my breath. "i'm glad to be here." I said louder with a bow of my head. I looked around for the princes but I didn't see anyone. "where are the others? If I may ask." I quickly covered my mistake.
"Prince Zuko, your fiance, is behind you." Ozai said in a bored tone. "he is determined to play ninja." I swirled around and saw a man staring at me.
He has dark black hair, it looked like it could have been made of raven's feathers. Next thing I noticed was that his jaw and cheek bones were high and sharp. Then I noticed his piercing goldish red eyes. I almost wanted to hide. It felt like they were stripping me of everything.
"Zuko, this is your fiancée." Ozai said in a voice that held finality. "you shall be wed at the end of the month." Ozia said as he made the flames lower. "now leave my thrown room."
"i looked back as I started to walk to the door and caught my first glance of Fire Lord Ozai. He was terrifying. His eyes held such a fire that felt like it would melt me. The angles of his face were harsh. Not like Zuko's where they were a pleasantness to it. These showed a danger to them.
"Follow me." a voice behind me said. It was dark and gruff. I turned to see Prince Zuko walking away. I quickly followed. He lead me through corridor after corridor until we came to a room. He opened the door and ushered me in.
"this will be our room." he said as he moved to sit in one of the many love seats spread out around the fire.
The room was huge. It was bigger then my entire igloo. The walls were painted in a deep blood red. His bedding on his California king size bed was black and all of the furniture was a mixture of golds and blacks. Across from the door was a set of glass double door with gold curtains. I could see trees and a balcony through them. My investigation got interrupted by a voice.
"Come." Prince Zuko said as he studied me. I just stared at him as he patted the seat next to him. "come here." he said much more forcefully. Without much thought I moved forward till I was standing right in front of him. "Sit." He said with a pat to the spot next to him.
I tried to sit on the edge of the seat, but he grabbed my hips and picked me up and moved me so our sides were touching and I was all the way back. "We need to talk." He gently said in my ear.
