You don't get many chances at redemption in life. Sometimes you get one, maybe two. Luckily for Zuko, Katara was a very generous person.
Katara had given him a chance in Ba Sing Se. He'd graciously accepted it, only to rip it to shreds moments later, completely obliterating Katara's trust in him. She'd offered to heal him of a life long wound, and he'd sided with the enemy, helped his sister almost kill Katara's best friend,
Zuko had ruined one chance, leaving Katara torn and heartbroken.
Then he'd had the guts to come to her, begging for help. His uncle needed to be saved, but he couldn't do it alone. Katara had felt bad for him, knowing what it was like to lose a loved one. So she gave him a second chance, and like before, he took it. But a week later, he turned again. Azula had offered to help him find their mother, and he couldn't refuse.
Zuko had betrayed the team, and Katara had vowed never to trust him again. No matter what.
However, she changed her mind when she saw Zuko thrown overboard Azula's ship. She rescued him, resuscitated him, and cared for him. And when he regained consciousness, she defended him from the others' harsh insults. Without realizing it, she'd fallen in love with him.
But when it came time to face Ozai, Zuko couldn't take it. He couldn't fight his father. So he turned against them again, and fought with his father. And in his attempts to defend his father, he killed Katara.
She'd given him three chances, and he'd betrayed her every time. Now, she was dead, and he'd never get another chance. And he regretted it for the rest of his life.
Author's Notes: This ones longer than the last one, but still pretty short. Poor Zuzu, he only realizes his mistakes when it's too late. Not much else to say about this. Reviews?
