It happened so fast.
Zuko watched the stray arrow fly into her brother's chest.
He watched him fall backwards into the puddle made by the pouring rain.
He watched as Katara flew over to him, screaming. Watching as she desperately tried to heal him.
Zuko ran over, pulling her away, knowing it was too late.
But the waterbender wouldn't admit defeat. She screamed and cursed, yelling out her brother's name through her tears.
A million things ran throught his head as he waved over two guards to take the body away.
But one thought stood clear--
Who did it, and why. Why someone would murder the kind-hearted warrior. That she loved. That he had come to know as a friend..
However, his thoughts were pushed away as he went back to Katara.
Her sobs racked his whole body, but his arms still held her strongly as they both sunk to the ground.
Full of rage, she beat her fists on the wet ground, causing mud to splash on them as she wailed.
His voice broke through her anger, softly.
"Katara.."
She stared at him, her eyes full of tears.
"Why, Zuko?! Why would someone kill him!?My brother!!" She threw her arms around him and sobbed more.
"It'll be okay.."
She screamed, her voice hoarse. "Nothing will ever be okay! He's gone...!"Her sobbing became shuddering as Zuko spoke again.
"I know, Katara. I know it hurts. But I promise, things will get better..You have to believe me."
She tilted her head so their eyes met.
"He's dead, Zuko. I can't believe it. I won't.." Tears came again.
The firebender said nothing as he embraced her again.
Two lonely souls, sitting in the pouring rain.
At that moment, all they had was each other. But that was all they needed.
