He walked slowly towards her. "Nami, I'm your father," he said.
She stood there frozen. She couldn't believe what just happened. She regretted coming back into the palace. Why would my mother lie to me? She told me she would never lie to me. She never lied to me before. Why should I believe him? I don't even know him. He's the liar, not my mother.
He placed a hand on her shoulder to pull her in for a hug. He joyfully told her, "I'm you dad."
Nami's eyes met Katara's. Katara quickly avoided Nami's icy blue eyes. Nami turned and glared into Zuko's honey colored eyes. "Liar," she whispered.
He was confused. He thought that Nami would be ecstatic to know she was the daughter of the Fire Lord. "What," he asked.
Nami pushed him away from her. "Liar," she shouted at him.
Zuko tried to regain his balance, but was to late. Nami's elbow connected with his nose. He fell to the ground. He touched his nose and saw blood on the tip of his fingers. The fire in Nami's eyes blazed. She sat on his chest. Both of her hands were on his neck; cutting off his oxygen. He began to lose consciousness.
"Last time, I let you go. This time I'll end you," she said menacingly.
Nami lifted her hand above her head and the fan flew open.
Katara grabbed Nami's, making Nami turn and face her. Katara stared into Nami's eyes and yelled, "Nami stop! I won't allow you to kill your father!"
Nami looked at Zuko then back at Katara. She got off his chest, never breaking her glare off her mother.
"You lied to me," Nami uttered.
Katara stood in silence.
"I can't believe you lied to me all these years," she said.
Zuko began to regain consciousness. As he gasped for air, he wiped the blood off his cheek, nose, and lips with his sleeve. He got up and saw his daughter's icy blue eyes filled with tears. "Nami, it's okay. You're mad, I understand," he said softly.
He walked towards intending to hug her again. Before he reached her, she took off running to her bedroom.
"See what you caused," Zuko shouted at Katara and ran after Nami.
"Yes, I do see," Katara thought to herself.
Nami tan through the hallways, wiping hot tears from her cheeks. She ran faster and faster at the sound of his voice echoing behind her, "Nami stop." She was hurt. My father was alive all these years and she lied to me. I believed her. I trusted her. Iroh was right he was my grandfather. That's why he loved me so much. The thought of Iroh being her grandfather and never calling him grandfather, caused her to cry even more.
She finally reached her room. She slammed the door behind her and locked it. Se leaned her back on the door and slowly fell down. She brought her knees to her chest and hugged them. She heard Zuko approaching the door. He tried to turn the knob but it was locked. He gently knocked on the door, but she didn't answer. He heard her sobs, so he spoke, "Nami, honey, I know you're hurt. You're confused and don't know what to do, but I want you to know that I'm here for you. Right now we're all mad for what your mother did. Just know that no matter what, I'll still love you with all my heart."
Nami stopped crying at his soothing words and stared into the darkness; holding on to the words love you. Rage filled her bald as she heard her mother's footsteps approaching the door. Katara knocked on the door and said, "Nami open the door."
"No!"
"Nami, I'm sorry. I was trying to protect you."
"Of what!? No you did this for you."
"Nami. I order you to open this door."
"I hate you mom! Leave me alone!"
Katara felt like she had been stabbed a thousands times.
"Leave! Now! Both of you!"
Zuko narrowed his eyes at Katara and said, "This is all your fault."
Katara watched him as left the hallways then she left.
The carriages pulled up to the palace. Mayumi came out holding a big stuffed air bison. "That was fun, don't you think," Kane said.
"Mmhmm. Thanks for winning me this," Mayumi said.
He leaned into kiss her. Jet coughed.
"Oh. Hi sir... Ummmm... I...saw...something on her face...and I decided to help her remove it for her face," Kane explained.
His face was red with embarrassment. He rapidly walked into the castle, feeling Jet's eyes still staring at him.
"That's my boy," Sokka laughed.
"Sure is. At least you don't have to worry about my son kissing your daughter."
Sokka heard a gasp come from one of the carriages. Jet, Yisu, and Sokka tango the carriage to find Kai passionately kissing Yue.
"Why you little," Sokka said. "Get your lips off my daughter!"
Sokka grabbed Kai's arm and dragged him out of the carriage. Jet began laugh so hard at the situation. Suki grabbed Yue and began to lead her into the palace. "You're grounded until your thirty."
"Mom," Yue whined.
"Kai, what's wrong with you? I thought you hated Yue," Yisu said.
"Not anymore."
Yue turned around and met Kai's gaze then she blew him a kiss. She entered the palace.
"How does it feel to be on the other end of the stick? Doesn't feel good does it," Jet said wiping a tear from his eye.
"No," Sokka pouted.
"Shall we go inside," Jet joked.
"We shall," Sokka joked back.
"Zuko. What happened to your neck," Mai said examining the red marks on his neck.
Zuko rubbed the back of his neck.
"Zuko, I asked you a question."
"Nami attacked me," he mumbled
"She what!? I'll order the guards to I prison her."
"No!"
Mai placed her fists on her hips and asked, "Why not?"
"Because..." he stopped. He finally understood why Katara didn't want to anyone to know. She was afraid of hurting Mai.
"Because why Zuko," she asked.
"Because it was an accident. Just let it go."
"Okay. I'd like to inform you that Hikari and I had a wonderful time without you," she said bitterly.
"Mai, I don't want to fight with you. Just leave," he ordered her.
"Fine,"she said leaving their room.
Sokka knocked on the door before entering. "Hey Katara, we're back."
He saw his sister on the floor, crying on the edge of the bed. Concerned about his little sister he asked," Katara what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Oh Sokka. He...knows...everything."
"Who knows what?"
"Zuko...knows...Nami is...his...daughter,"she said sobbing.
Suki walked in, "What's wrong?"
"Zuko know about Nami," Sokka explained.
"Does Nami know," Suki asked.
Sokka looked down at Katara. Katara nodded, "She said...she...hated me."
"Oh honey. She doesn't mean it," Suki said wrapping her arms around Katara's waist.
Sokka was upset to see his little sister cry. He pulled out his sword and asked, "What did he do to you?"
Katara wiped the tears off her face and shook her head.
"If he touched you, I'll kill him."
No Sokka. He didn't touch me. I swear."
Toph and Jet entered the room.
"Hey, what going on," Jet asked.
"Yeah. Why's sugar queen crying," Toph added.
"He found out," Suki replied still hugging Katara.
"What!"
"Wait. Who found out what," Jet asked confused.
Toph looked at Katara. Katara said, "Go ahead. Everybody knows now."
"Here's what you got to know. Nami is Zuko's daughter," Toph explained.
"No way," Jet said surprised. "So the rumors were true. They did have an affair."
"Yeah they were true," Sokka said.
"So this means Nami is the rightful heir to the throne, not Hikari," Jet realized.
"Oh my spirits! You're a genius. Why didn't I think of that," Toph said with sarcasm.
Katara was able to managed a smile. Toph felt Katara smile and she walked towards her.. She kneeled down and hugged Katara.
"Don't worry sweetness. It'll all work out in the end."
Katara returned the hug and said, "I hope you're right Toph."
Nami sat in the same position for hours. Momoru came many times asking if she was alright, but she refused to open the door to anyone. All she wanted was to be alone. She sat there alone thinking about the first time she realized she could firebend.
She was five years old. Katara and Nami wandered far from the tribe. The snow was thick and soft. Nami ran from her mother. As she ran, she felt something cool hit her back. Nami turned around to see Katara laughing. Nami bent down and with the snow, she formed a ball in the her hand. She threw it at Katara.
"Oh yeah," Katara said forming another ball.
Nami dodged the ball and fell into the snow. Katara ran to Nami, picked her up, and bent the ice off her hair. "Are you okay, my love," Katara asked feeling guilty.
"Yeah," Nami as she threw the hidden snow ball at her mother.
Katara laughed and Nami giggled.
The creatures snuck up on them. They began to attack them. "Wolves," Katara yelled.
Out of the snow, Katara threw ice daggers at the wolves. One by one they started to fall. She left that she was running out of juice and there still were to many of hem for her to handle alone. She grabbed Nami's hand and began to run. She hid behind a glacier and told Nami, "Nami run! Whatever you do don't look back. I'll hold them off."
Nami began to run then she stopped. She turned around and saw the wolves tugging on her mothers robes. She heard her mother scream as a wolf bite her left arm. Nami had already lost a father, she wasn't going to lose her mother too. Nami ran back to Katara. She clasped her hands together and jumped over her mother. With her hands her hit the ice. Around her and her mother rose a wall of fire that circled them. Katara stood in amazement. The wolves ran away, afraid of the flame. Katara fell to her knees and hid her face in her hands. She began to cry. Nami turned around to see her mother upset. "I'm so sorry mom. I have dishonored you for not being a waterbender," Nami said ashamed.
Katara met Nami's eyes and said, "No honey. I'm so proud of you."
She was never proud of me. Angered by the memory, Nami stood up. She changed her red and blue robes to her purple and white robes, which were much lighter and allowed her to move. She placed her sharp metal fans in her sleeves. She left the palace undetected. Goodbye Katara. Forever.
