Chapter 5: A Decision Worth Making
Katara just stood by the shore line, gazing at Zuko from her distance.
Zuko had just woke up from his sleep, and got up, his right leg was still injured. As he got up slowly he noticed someone looking at him from the shore line.
'Katara.'
Katara noticed Zuko staring back at her, she started to blush a bit, but she remembered what Sokka had said to her.
Flashback
"I know you will Katara. If you want to choose love than family go ahead. I can't tell you who to like or love."
End of Flashback
'Zuko, as much as I love you. Forget about me. No matter where you go I'll love you. I wish I could find the right words to tell you how I feel, but that would only make Sokka upset. I don't want to leave him and, but I don't want to leave you either. I'm sorry Zuko.'
Katara wiped the tears from her eyes, and began walking.
Zuko watched Katara as she started walking past him.
"Katara!" he yelled out.
Katara just walked past him without saying a word. It was like he was never there.
"Katara!" yelled Zuko once more. "Please listen to me!"
Katara stopped and looked at him with watery eyes.
"Atleast talk to me. I know what I said to you made you upset, but atleast talk to me." said Zuko.
"Prince Zuko. Your words didn't make me upset, just shocked, but you know my feelings for you will never change." said Katara.
"I know. I can't ever change your mind can I?" asked Zuko.
Katara remained quiet.
"Zuko. Are you ready to leave now?" asked Iroh as he approached the both of them.
"What do you mean leave?" asked Zuko.
"I built a row boat to escape this island." said Iroh. "Are you coming or not?"
"But how-"
"It's a secret. Ancient fire bending technique." said Iroh.
Zuko looked at Katara, and Katara looked back at him.
"Good-bye Katara." said Zuko.
"Bye." said Katara.
Katara watched Zuko as he left, and before she knew it, him and his uncle were out in the water.
Zuko watched Katara as she just stood there, she looked away from the row boat and walked back to Appa.
Katara kept her head down, but she didn't know that Sokka and Aang were running towards her.
"Katara!" yelled Sokka.
Katara stopped an looked ahead. "Sokka? Aang? Who's watching Appa?"
"Nevermind about that, where were you?" asked Sokka.
"I just went to do a little water bending to clear my thoughts." said Katara.
"Katara, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for saying those words to you earlier. I know I can't tell you who to like or love, but if you want to loave Prince Zuko, it's okay with me, just as long as you're happy." said Sokka.
"It's okay, I've made my decision not to like him. You're right Sokka. Prince Zuko is bad choice." lied Katara.
"Are you feeling better now Katara?" asked Aang.
"Yeah." said Katara.
The three of them walked back to Appa.
End of Chapter 5
