I took a stance as thoughts were racing through my head, Do I need to kill her? Maybe I can deal with it? Why would she do this to me? I watched as Hama got in her stance as I did as well. The moon shone brightly and I could feel the power taking control as I used blood bending trying to take control of Hama's body, but either way we couldn't we would just keep deflecting each other's movements.
"Come on Katara, you should be winning." Hama taunted as she took water out of the air and threw icicles at me. I dodged to the right taking water out of the air as well and shaped the water in a water whip and tried to hit her, but she would just stop the water before it hit her.

"How am I supposed to beat you?! We are both powerful water benders who deflect everything the other throws, and the blood bending doesn't work!" I yelled as I was getting frustrated.

"You are not keeping an open mind Katara and you are not letting out the energy. Think Katara of what you can do." Hama replied as she tried using blood bending but I just redirected it. Think come on! I can do this! I thought as I saw a group of fire benders come this way from the entire ruckus. I got it!! I yelled in my head as I smile evilly as I my eyes darted to the fire benders coming closer. I lowered my water bending stance as I got ready to use blood bending.

"Come on Katara, we have tried this already, it won't work." Hama smiled as she too got ready for blood bending.

"Yeah, but we never tried this." I replied as I used blood bending to bring the guards in the cell. I saw her face grow paler as I used the fire benders to push her in a corner. "Goodbye Hama," I smiled evilly as I heard all the benders' voices saying to 'Stop!' or 'Why can't I control my body!' I raised each of their hands and they took their stance as fire lit from their hands.

"Congratulations Katara, you are cured." Hama smiled as she lowered her stance.

"Goodbye Hama," I responded cruelly as I let the guards throw their fire on her, her body withered in pain, her face slowing disintegrating, as the fire consumed her ashes, the putrid smell of rotting flesh felled my nose.

I then used the guards to attack each other, with fire bending as each one was getting burned alive. You could smell the burning flesh as you heard their screams of agony before they wasted away, but I left one alive. I don't know why but this guard was more frightened than the others. He was a scrawny man, who was shaking in his boots. He looked around the scene seeing the Hama's ashes, the other guards' ashes scattered on the floor, then he looked up in my eyes, as I brought him down on his knees as I kneeled down.

"Why are you so much more frightened than the others were?" I asked, as he stared in my eyes.

"Be-be-because I-I kn-kn-know th-th-this te-te-techinque. I-I sa-sa-saw th-th-this be-be-before." He stuttered I took pity on him his eyes were lowered as his lip trembled in the moon light.

"I will let you live, but if you tell anyone that you saw me I will come after you and I will kill you. Don't forget that." I whispered as I used blood bending to knock him unconscious. I walk out of the cell, all the prisoners are raging to get out as some tried to bang on the doors. I walk through the red halls as I walked outside I didn't feel the pull of the energy anymore, I could move every part of my body at will, and I knew I have one more step before I avenge my mother's death. Sure, I didn't kill him, but now I need to maybe I can find more answers to why the Fire Nation killed her. However, to become what I was destined I needed to be trained, and there was only one person who knows how.

In the Fire Nation 3 days later

Aang had come to the fire Nation to go over some new plans for rebuilding the nations, but as Aang came closer to Zuko he noticed that he was looking more paler than usual as he sat at his desk staring into oblivion.

"Hey, Zuko," Aang greeted, as Zuko turned around from his chair, and smiled.

"Hey Aang,"

"Hey Zuko? Have you seen Katara lately?" Aang asked, as Zuko's face began to grow pale.

"No, I haven't seen her sorry Aang." Zuko responded as he put on a I'm-ok-face as he brought Aang to the Fire Nation discussing room to go over plans.

"Well, okay, but tell me if you hear anything I haven't seen her in a while." Aang responded going into the room to meet all the repersentives of the other nations. But, as Aang went in to great everyone, Zuko stayed behind as his thoughts were racing.

Yes, Zuko knew everything, he knew where Katara had been from the letter he received from the Fire Nation prison, he knew about her blood bending. Even though no one else knew, he only knew one person who had that much power, and now he had a hunch where she was going to go, or who she was going to find; Jet.

What do you think? Good? Bad? Please Review! Don't worry there will be some Zutara and Jetara as well.

Please Review!!
