Hi Guys, How are you all. I confess I wanted to cry when I re-read what had written, I hate saying goodbye to characters-even if their the baddies. Enjoy this chapter!

Kat ran from the house, just to be away from him. The sudden change made her feel even more alone and confused. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Silence, the gravel trembled as she ran. Finally she stopped, she was out of breath. She slumped into the muddy road as she surrendered to her thoughts and feelings. He was a killer, a killer on an unknown mission. She had been a fool to think he had been her saviour. She cried as if her heart was bleeding, as if her very feelings would wash away to nothing.
He found her hours later, her body trembling. "Katrina!" he said, bewildered, as he reached out to comfort her. She shrank back at his touch, his hands hot as if on fire. "Stay away from me!" she stammered. "Who are you?" she whispered, "I'm Zuko!" he replied surprised at her question, "No who are you!" she spoke louder now "I know your name I'm asking you who you REALLY are!" Zuko hesitated before answering, "I don't really know who I am!" he sat next to her on the gravel, the day had gone by so fast, it was morning when they had first talked, now the day was being demolished by darkness, "Another night again, another journey without friends, another fight to wish away the lonliness I live, no-one knows the way I feel, the part of me I have to fight, buried somewhere deep within my skin. The fire grows inside me, the feeling cannot be denied, and everything seems great, yet everyone is fake, Who Am I?" He spoke every word as if they were a heavy weight that weighed upon him. she touched his cheek as a tear rolled down, her touch felt like that of an angels. The touch that had disappeared just as Zuko's mother had. Then he started chuckling under his breath, he rose and lifted her to her feet. Then, together, they made the journey home.
Kat had fallen asleep when Zuko had helped her into bed. He lay awake thinking of what to do, should he stay? He was causing her quite a lot of distress by being here. By 1am he had chosen. He wrote a note for Kat and grabbed a few things before heading out the door. He would have to figure things on his own.
Kat woke up and looked at her watch, it was 7am, she looked beside her bed to see a pile of blankets and mattresses, no Zuko. Instead was a note-it read:
Dear Katrina, I have distressed you and have invaded your peaceful life. I have decided to leave and find a way back to my own world, alone. I am sorry for everything.
Good-Bye.
The last words paralysed her, as if her whole body was made of stone. She got up, hoping it was all just a dream, hoping she would find him playing a trick on her. He wasn't, he was really gone. "Zuko!" she yelled, only to be disappointed that no reply came.
