Katara had hated the colour red ever since she saw it in the form of her mother's blood spilt on the snow.
The hatred only increased when she met Zuko. He did nothing but torment her and her friends and she was sick of it. She learned to detest the red of his scar and clothing, a colour he seemed proud to bear.
However, things suddenly began to change. Katara started to see a different side of the prince, another shade of his personality. He went from the colour of fire and bloodshed to the brown of earth and stone. Even his scar seemed different, though she knew it had not changed.
This different side of Zuko was someone she wanted to help, wanted to heal. So she offered her water and her heart, and he accepted both.
Then he turned against her, and everything turned back to red.
Author's Notes: I'm really happy with this one. I've been trying to write drabble with the theme of colour, but this is the first one I really, really like.
I hope you guys like it too!
