"Why are you here? How did you get in here?" Katara asked frantically, while she searched for a source of water. Yukio walked towards her, from the shadows and into the moonlight.
"I came to bring you home." He said quietly, and continued to walk towards her. Katara saw a vase on the dresser and she grabbed it.
"The southern water tribe is not my home anymore." She told Yukio as she threw the empty vase at him. Yukio knocked the vase out of the way and it shattered on the floor. He continued to walk towards her. As she looked around in search of more weapons, Yukio saw a red betroval necklace around Katara's neck.
"What is that?" He said with anger in his voice and pointed to the necklace. Katara put her hand to the necklace.
"It's none of your business." She told him and began to run out of the room. Yukio quickly grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her in front of him.
"You are marrying me!" He said, and ripped the necklace from her neck. Katara winced in pain and watched Zuko's necklace plummet to the floor. Katara quickly decided to scream for help.
"I'm not marrying you!" She screamed at him. Yukio rapidly put his hand over her mouth to silence her screams.
"Yes, you are." Yukio told her and forced his hand against her mouth even harder. Katara shook her head no, and tried to get away from him. Yukio moved his other hand from her shoulder down to her arm and forced her out of the room.
Katara struggled to get free, but Yukio held onto her tighter. Once they reached the outside of the palace she opened her mouth and bit his hand as hard as she could. Yukio pulled his hand away. "I am not going back, you bastard!" She screamed at him. He moved his hand to her other arm and continued to drag her to the docks.
"The southern water tribe is your only family. You belong there with me, as my wife." He told her.
"I will never be your wife!" She yelled and continued to struggle.
"No one else wants you." Yukio told her as the docks and ship came into site.
"That's not true." Katara told him. Yukio stopped for a moment and looked at her.
"Oh really?" Yukio said and raised an eyebrow.
"The fire lord asked me to marry him and I accepted." She proudly told him. Yukio grew angry; he tightened his grip.
"What you belong to me!" He told Katara, and continued to force her to the ship.
"I don't belong to you!" Katara yelled and continued to struggle.
"If you won't belong to me then you won't belong to anyone." Yukio told her and he dragged her towards the ship. Katara saw the water beside the ship and pulled her one arm away, she quickly bended a water wave at him. Yukio let go of her arm and slightly fell backwards. Sokka was on the ship and saw what was happening.
Katara froze the water from the ocean and kept Yukio's feet frozen to the ground. Sokka walked to the side of the ship. "Katara what are you doing!" Sokka yelled to his sister. Katara looked at her brother, and then continued to keep Yukio frozen. Yukio tried to unfreeze himself, but failed.
"Stop!" Yukio yelled at her, but she continued to concentrate.
"Katara stop it!" Sokka yelled, and he threw his boomerang to break the ice.
"Sokka no!" Katara screamed as the ice broke. Yukio ran after her, she turned to run but Yukio grabbed her by the hair, and tried to pull her back to the ship. Katara created a water whip and shot it at Yukio, but he bended the water away.
"Yukio stop!" Sokka yelled to Yukio, but Yukio continued to pull her towards the ship. "You are hurting her!" Sokka yelled.
"Sokka she is confused, this is the only way." Yukio told him.
Yukio dragged her onto the ship and threw her towards Sokka. She fell on the deck besides Sokka and winced in pain as she hit the floor. She quickly got up and made a wave of water and shot it at Yukio. Yukio turned the water into ice and it froze in front of him. Katara grew angry and the ice shield shatters, she then sent several pieces of the broken ice at Yukio.
"Katara stop!" Sokka said, and he grabbed her hand. The ice pieces hit Yukio and slice his arm. "We are trying to rescue you!" Sokka explained.
"Rescue me? Yeah right!" Katara said and hit Sokka with a water whip. Sokka fell back, and Katara ran off the ship. Yukio grabbed his arm in pain and watched Katara run off the ship.
"Katara come back!" Yukio yelled, but Katara continued running from the ship. Yukio stood up and ran after her; he created an ice dagger and shot it at her. Katara stopped and created an ice shield, the dagger stopped and Katara saw Yukio break through the shield of ice and ran after her. She quickly turned and ran as fast as she could. Yukio ran faster and reached for her.
The palace came into sight but Yukio grabbed her shoulder and threw her to the ground. She made a slight whimper as she hit the ground. "You are coming back with me!" Yukio told her. Katara quickly stands up and tried to run to the palace, but Yukio grabbed her wrist.
"Let go of me!" She screamed and tried to get away again.
"No." He said and tightened his grip. Katara decided to try to get away. She swiftly brought her leg up and kneed him in the groin. Yukio yelled then fell to the ground. Katara began running back to the palace. Sokka ran off the ship after his sister.
"Katara wait!" Sokka yelled as he ran off the dock. Katara heard her brother but she couldn't stop running she had to get away from Yukio. "Katara I want to talk to you!" He yelled and continued to run. Katara ran through the dark she tripped over something and fell to the ground. Sokka ran to her. "Why are you running away?" He asked her and offered her his hand.
"I am not going back to the southern water tribe!" She told him and stood up on her own.
"What? Why won't you come back?" Sokka said, he was confused.
"I am not marrying that abusive bastard!" She scolded and clenched her fists.
"What are you talking about? It is your duty to your country." Sokka explained.
"I already have left him." She told Sokka. Katara then noticed Yukio running up the hill towards them. Sokka looked back at Yukio then to his sister.
"We have to go now!" Sokka commanded his sister. Katara looked at him.
"I am not going back!" She said.
"Katara please." Sokka pleaded. Katara shook her head no, and turned to run to the palace. Yukio ran past Sokka and grabbed Katara's wrist.
"Let me go!" She commanded Yukio, but he held her tighter and began to drag her to the ship. Sokka watched.
"Yukio are you sure we are doing the right thing?" Sokka asked and followed them to the ship.
"She needs to learn a little respect." Yukio said and forced her onto the ship. Katara struggled, but Yukio opens the door to a cell and throws her in and slams the door shut. Katara hit the floor and winced in pain. She stood up and took a few deep breathes.
The next morning in the fire nation, Zuko was walking to Katara's bedroom. He stopped when he saw his uncle in the halls. "Good morning uncle." Zuko said with a smile on his face. Iroh looked at his nephew sadly and sighed, Zuko grew concerned. "What is it uncle?" He asked with care in his voice.
"Katara… Is not here." Iroh told him. Zuko's face turned to sadness and tears formed in his eyes.
"What? Where would she have gone?" He said as he held back the tears.
"I don't know, but a solider said that he saw her being dragged away. He was too far away to do anything." He told him. Zuko's sadness turned to anger.
"Her fiancé, that bastard!" Zuko stated. Iroh's eyes widened.
"Her what?" Iroh asked.
"She was engaged…" Zuko said quietly.
"Is she still engaged to that guy or not?" Iroh asked.
"I don't know…" Zuko answered and looked to the floor. Iroh thought for a moment.
"Go find her." Iroh instructed Zuko, and Zuko looked at his uncle.
"But what if she left me because she loves him?" He asked.
"Well, she didn't go willingly." Iroh said after a while.
"He was abusive…" Zuko said quietly. Iroh's eyes opened wide when he heard that part of the story.
"Find her now!" Iroh told him. Zuko looked at his uncle and thought for a moment.
"I will find her." He said as he ran down the hallways. Iroh nodded and left to drink tea.
Zuko ran down the hallway and stopped when he came to Katara's bedroom. He opened the door and walked in, he looked around and noticed the necklace laying on the floor. Zuko walked over to it and bent down, he picked it up and wrapped it around his wrist. He then left the room and headed for the docks.
