The Love Between Water and Fire
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews! I'll try my best to keep writing more chapters.
Chapter 3: Second Thoughts
Aang, Sokka, Katara and MoMo were flying over the ocean looking for another place to rest.
"Thanks for saving me." said Katara.
"No problem Katara. Just what did Prince Zuko want with you anyway?" asked Sokka.
"Nothing." lied Katara. "He wanted to tell me where Aang was, but I refused to tell him."
Aang was listening to what Katara said.'That's strange, Prince Zuko said that he wanted Katara, not me.' thought Aang.
Katara was in a moment of a flashback, thinking about those words that Prince Zuko had said to her.
Flashback
"Not like Katara. Love."
"I've been having these feelings for you for awhile now, but everytime I get close to you, you run away. I've been using the Avatar to get to you, and now you know how I truly feel."
"You do belong here, you belong with me."
End of Flashback (A/N: This is just a flashback of a few words Zuko said to Katara)
'Out of all the girls in the world, why choose me?' thought Katara.
Sokka looked at Katara, and noticed that worried look on her face.
"What's wrong Katara?"asked Sokka.
"It's nothing."said Katara. "Just leave me along Sokka."
Meanwhile
Prince Zuko was still in search of the Avatar, so that once again, he would see Katara, but it's been a day and already he's been missing her.
'For once I got to talk to her, but it wasn't enough.'
Flashback
"That's nice Prince Zuko, but I don't love you."
"I'm sorry. I understand that you have these feelings for me, but I don't have feelings for you. We're complete opposites, i'm a water bender, you're a fire bender."
"I can't stay here. I don't belong here."
"I belong with Sokka and Aang. My heart belongs to the Water Tribe, not the Fire Nation."
End of Flashback (A/N: this is only a flashback of a few words Katara said to Zuko.)
'Your words hurt me Katara. I only wish you knew how hurt I was. I want to make you see how I really feel about you.'
"I see your plan didn't work."said Zhao.
"Leave me alone Zhao."said Zuko.
"Pathetic as ever. Leave the Avatar to me next time."said Zhao.
Zuko's hands turned into fists again, and his hands engulfed into flames.
"I said leave me alone!"said Zuko.
Zhao smirked at him and walked away.
Zuko calmed down a little, but Katara's words were still in his head.
"I'm sorry, but I don't love you."
Zuko punched out one of the soldiers that was standing next to him, and walked back to his room.
He slammed the door shut and double locked it. He punched the walls making dents in them, flipped over the wooden table that made the ink and parchment fall. He knocked over his lamp, which made the lightbulb smash into pieces and the lantern in his room enraged into huge flames.
Zuko had never been this angry before, not even when the Avatar had gotten away from him, just when he'd thought he caught him.
"Katara!" yelled out Zuko as he punched the steel walls again. "Katara. I need you."
Meanwhile
Katara was still burried in thoughts.'Am I starting to like Prince Zuko? I mean, the only time I ever thought I fell in love was when I met Jet, how is Zuko any different? All those kind words he said to me. I have never in my life heard him say that.'
Sokka just watched Katara as he worried.'I hope she's not pregnant. I hope she's not! She better not! I hope she's not! If she is, I'm gonna kill the guy who did this to her!' "Katara are you pregnant? You look worried."
Katara looked at Sokka."What! How could you think of something like that Sokka! You know I'm too young to have a child!" yelled Katara.
"Sorry! Just asking! It's just that you've been so quiet." said Sokka.
"Well maybe i'm just tired!" said Katara.
"I know something is bothering you!" said Sokka.
"For the last time! Nothing's bothering me!" said Katara.
"Sheesh, sorry for being concerned!" said Sokka.
Katara remained quiet after, and went back to her thoughts.'What if I told Sokka that I liked Prince Zuko? How would he react? I know he'd hate me. I have to admit now, that I truly love Prince Zuko, but I would've never thought in a million years that he'd like me back. I'm afraid of his lies, I'm afraid that I'll be lied to like Jet."
Katara grabbed a blanket from the bag and wrapped herself around it and fell asleep.
'Zuko, I might have said those words to you. Just to let you know, I love you too.'
Your love is more dazzling than anyone's I care only for you As you know, sometimes I will stagger I'm waiting just for you When I forget the love I know Will you come to me?
