Where we left off:

"Zuko, I am so sorry. I should've kept my promise," A tear slipped from my eye landing on my hand, I shook my head trying to compose myself, "Come on get a grip, he's long gone just stay strong he's not coming back and he doesn't care for you. Let go Katara, let go…" I trailed off as I took a deep breath, I turned around and walked through the double doors leading into the bedroom. I place my cup on the dresser put up against the side of the doors; as I set my cup down immediately a hand snakes around my waist pulling me flush against a chest and before I could make a sound another hand clamped over my mouth, silencing me.

"Don't let go," A rough, whispering voice echoed in my ear as it sent chills down my spine.

Present

I tried to scream but the hand muffled my desperate cries. No, no, no! I was so careful! No one should be able to tell who I am! I felt their hands touch my bare mid drift as I took in a depp breath calming my beating heartbeat.

"Don't try anything if you do, the consequences will be ugly." The voice was low, threatening as it sent chills down my spine. As I planted my feet shoulder width apart, One…

"Now you want to tell me why you are here?" The figure whispered as I shook my head. Two…

"I figured, looks like I'm going to need to get it myself then." His arms slacked enough, for a split second, and that was all it took. Three!

I brought my heel up making him narrowly miss from getting kicked, but I had whipped my body with my adrenaline and he let me go. My hands were encased with water as I shot at my attacker, but fire made contact, and steam rose blinding me from seeing him. I grit my teeth, scanning around the room;

"Why are you here?" The voice echoed all around me and I shot icicles to the right of me but the figure moved quickly.

"I should be asking the questions here. Who are you?" I demanded as I heard him laugh echoing all around me. I threw another group of icicles to my right but they missed again.

"Come on, you should know, don't tell me you've already forgotten about me already? After you had been talking about me out there." I heard his voice all around me; my water almost fell to the floor as I was taken back. I narrowed trying to look through the steam, which was finally clearing up.

"Zuko, how did you find me?" I asked as I saw a black outline behind me as I looked at the mirror in front of me on the wall. I smile,

"Wasn't hard." My smile widened, Gotcha!

My water whip crashed into the figure and froze it, slowly binding it in ice. "I guess you aren't as stealthy as you thought." I smiled in triumphant as the last of the steam blew away, but it was a statue in its place. "No," I whispered, Zuko came up from behind me and twisted my hands behind my back and pushed me up against the wall, while I turned my face so I wouldn't hurt my face. His mouth tickled my ear as he whispered,

"I wasn't behind you," I gritted my teeth thrashing in his grip but he twisted my arms tighter, and I immediately stopped, but as I tried to move my legs he put his between mine. "Now tell me why you chose my house." My eyes widened,

"Yo-your house?" I gasped out as he laughed,

"Of course, you didn't notice the picture in my father's room?" He asked me, and I shook my head. Damn it! I knew it was familiar!

"Let me go!" I yelled as he flipped my position; my hands pinned to my sides by his, my back pressed firmly against the wall, my eyes locking onto his, and his legs keeping mine apart.

"What are you going to do about it? Hm?" He asked as I glared at him,

"How'd you find me?" I muttered, feeling helpless.

"I knew where the Fire Nation port was; Ember Island, and it was the closest piece of land around. So once we had docked a few miles away, I saw your footprints barely imprinted on the sand and I followed. Which led me to my house, of course it was just your luck that its mine." I felt like I wanted to smack myself in the head. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I wasn't paying attention! No, the Gaang is coming soon. I have to get rid of him quick.

"So now what? Am I prisoner again?" I asked sarcastically as he chuckled;

"No, I know you sent your friends a letter telling them where you are, so we are both going to wait for their arrival. I got to say thank you Katara." I had to get him off of me so I could run, so I did what any girl does to keep a man busy and keep them from thinking clearly; I kissed him. Hard and passionately. He responded back immediately, as his grip slackened I kneed him as he went down on the floor trying to walk again. I ran to the door as I heard him scream out my name. This keeps getting better and better. I rounded the corner of the house, but when I tried to open it up it was locked. NO! I could hear his footsteps stomp toward me as I ran to the court yard and I bended the water from the fountain into my hands; I got in a battle stance. When he came through the door, his hands blazed with fire, I saw the sun begin to rise. "You rise with the moon, I rise will the sun." He threw multiple fire blasts and I turned them into steam, but as I bended away the steam a fire wall was thrown at me. I back flipped behind the fountain blocking me from the fire; I threw a huge water wave where Zuko was. But he wasn't there; I looked around and I turned around and he hit me in the head, but before I hit the ground he caught me in his arms. "I won't let go of you if you don't let go of me." And I blacked out.
