Chapter 13 Sympathy?

Fire Lord Ozai's POV

Appa landed on the deck of my ship and Aang jumped off of him.

"Where have you been Prince Aang", I asked sternly. "It's dinner time. You know that your supposed to be back by dinner time! A fire lord needs to be on time!"[Avatar Extra: He used the word time three well...times.]

"I am sorry father", Aang said before bowing down to me.

Then he flew into Appa's saddle, and violently threw down the waterbender's brother onto the deck.

"Why is he here", I asked calmly.

"Doesn't matter", Aang replied. "I better take him to his sister."

With that Aang took the boy away.

"I feared this would happen", I said. "Aang is becoming good again. He captured these people instead of just killing them. That's a sign that he's becoming good."

Azula just sighed.

"Well I guess we have to kill him now." [Avatar Extra: Who say's something like that so easily?]

"No", I said. "We must test this."

Katara's POV

I was in a cell trying to get out when the door opened.

I saw Aang dragging...SOKKA?!

"Sokka", I yelled crawling up to the front of the cells.

"Quiet you", Aang said before throwing Sokka into the cell and locking it. [Avatar Extra: Stop throwing Sokka!]

"Why are you doing this Aang", I asked with tears running down my face.

He saw that I was crying and scoffed.

"Crying", he said. "So weak."

"There is nothing wrong with crying", I stated.

"Maybe for a commoner like you", Aang said. "But I am the crown prince. I must not be weak."

Then I realized something.

"Wait", I said. "Are you only doing this so that when you become fire lord you can end the war?"

"What", Aang asked in shock. "No. I'm the crown prince so that the fire nation can win the war."

"Has it ever occurred to you that the fire lord might be using you", I asked.

"Has it ever occurred to you that that is ridiculous", Aang asked sarcastically.

"I'm being serious Aang", I stated sternly. "I care about you. I don't want to see you hurt."

This seemed to take Aang by surprise.

"Y...you care for me", he asked. "Why?"

"Because I think the Aang I spend time with is the real one. Even if you don't."

Aang looked down before speaking again.

"Don't get your hopes up Katara. Because I don't want to see you hurt."

With that Aang left, leaving me in shock.

HotXbun: Woah. Told you to pay attention.

Challenge: Tell me how you think Aang and Katara's relationship will be like from here on now.

My Answer: I can't tell you. But I will give you a hint. Things will start looking up.
