My eyes were transfixed on the face of my masked savior. As the ribbons that kept the identity of him a secret unraveled and the beautifully carved piece of wood left the moved from the grace of his fingertips my heart soared, only to come back crashing to the ground. It was Zuko...the same Zuko that broke my heart and almost killed my best friend. I had only one question on my mind, why?
"Of all people it had to be you, why Zuko? Why did you play with my emotions like they
didn't matter?" I cried
"You have to understand, I never meant to betray you. It was all a plot, revenge against Azula" He responded
He had to be kidding, right?
"You can't seriously think I'd believe your lies. I'm not ready to trust you again, this is exactly how I felt with Jet and I'm not ready for that again." I screamed
"I'm not Jet, I'm Zuko." He yelled " You have to believe me! I never meant to hurt you, I just wanted to protect you!"
"Don't lie to me Zuko" I growled
"Ever since the first time we fought against Azula together I've been terribly in love with you! You were the first woman to ever care about me since my mother left! "Zuko exclaimed
" But I knew you'd never feel about me that way, all because of where I came from and all the terrible things I've ever done to you. You don't know how much that hurts, but the time we spent together gave me hope that maybe someday things would change" Zuko added in one long rant
"Than why did you side with your sister? That hurt me more than you could ever imagine."
"If I made it look like me and my sister were on the same side then it would be so much easier to get rid of her for good. Me and my uncle planned it all."
"Even Aang almost dying?" I interjected
"No that was all Azula" He laughed
I'd never seen Zuko show anything other than pain and sadness. This was a welcomed change, something told my heart that maybe, just maybe these things I were feeling weren't so bad after all.
Even though Katara wasn't so welcoming to who I was at first, I could almost feel this wave of change washing over us now. My heart was soaring and my mind was screaming just kiss her, just show her how you feel now that she knows you're hopelessly in love with her.
"Katara" I whispered
"What?" She replied
"Close your eyes"
After some brief hesitation she finally closed her eyes, her beautiful blue yes. Slowly I made my lips down until I could feel her sweet breath caress my face. Smiling I moved, showing my love for her in the form of a passionate kiss.
"So it seems as if my brother is in love with that whore from the south, and he's the blue spirit! Things are definitely working in my favor, wait until daddy hears about this." Azula cackled
Things were about to take a turn for the worst.
