Hey guys, so even though I should probably be in bed since I unfortunately have to attend school tomorrow (can't afford to miss a day this week cause I am going to be missing two days this week due to FFA State Convention here where I live.) That and its my senior year and I should start to get my seniorits under control. For anyone who isn't a senior or older so really who ever is not 18+ 1 you shouldn't be reading this cause you shouldn't get corrupted by this and 2 your senior year will fly by fast. I honestly don't know when I will be able to update again since this is my last month is school and I have my AP test in only about a week in a half and then my senior exams. But I promise to work on and update this story as much as I can. Loving the reviews keep them up. Oh and this chapter will be all in Zuko's pov of chapter 6 & 7. Oh btw just wanna say this cause I haven't and prob should mention, just precautionary measure, I do not own Avatar the Last Air Bender or any of the characters.
*Zuko's POV*
I know Katara is awake. I just don't want to open my eyes, I am to comfortable and honestly I think its funny of her obviousness to knowing I am playing possum. It isn't until I suddenly feel as if she is going to reach for my face. It is almost as if I have a sensor on when something or someone is too close to my scar, and when I open my eyes, she is doing excatly what I thought she would.
"What the hell were you doing?" I asks her furiously.
"I'm sorry, I was just curious about your scar. About the texture of it." She says putting her arm down by her waist.
"No one is ever allowed to touch my scar. Now get up and get ready, we are leaving and heading to some earth kingdom towns that are under my father's control. Apparently the old villagers are rioting against the troops. You wouldn't have any idea as to why that would be?" I ask her. I know of her past excursions where she and the Avatar go to villages and give them back hope that my father destroyed.
"Honestly not at all Zuko." She says, trying to look confused.
"I think you do Katara, your just being stubborn. Either way we are still going there." I say getting out of bed.
After getting ready for the day we eat and begin heading out. I have her ride with me once again, I don't trust her to ride by herself and I honestly enjoy her company. This time though she leans back more into me. I smile somewhat, she looks comfortable and she almost calms me down a little, I want to kiss the top of her head, but the other part of me tells me I shouldn't. Just as we are going pass one of the big cliffs, it happens.
Boulders begin to crumble down near us and we begin sprinting to the other side, only to be confronted by earth kingdom soldiers.
A rock is aimed right at Katar and I, I am not going to allow her to get harmed. I quickly jump off and carries her with me. She land right on top of me, her body is pressed right up agianst mine and in anyother occasion, I would have been turned on and smirking up at her, but this is not the time. I get her off of me and I look back to see her hiding behind a big oak tree. I am slightly curious as to why she is not trying to help the soldiers fight against me and the troops, which makes me put my guard down.
By the time I see the bolder coming straight towards my head, I am to late. The last thing I remember is the bolder hitting me and feeling the water surround me, before blackness consumes me.
I begin to feel the water being pulled out of my lungs and I am able to breath. When I open my eyes I see two beautiful ocean blue eyes staring down at me. I know whose eyes those belong to. I feel her begin to bend the water over my body and feel the healing of my limbs. Even though I know it is helping it hurts like hell. I continue to watch her and wonder why she even saved me, I then see her lips move and I can somewhat hear her.
"Zuko you're going to be fine. I'm going to make the pain go away. Okay." She says. She then slowly continues to bend the water and heal my wounds more.
"Zuko I am going to get wood to start a fire and then I am going to get us some food." She says getting up slowly, but before she is even halfway up I grabs her by her wrist and pull her down to where she is face to face with me.
"Why? Why didn't you just let me drown in the river? You could've been free, you could have returned to Aang." I ask, her truly confused, she could of just let me die in the water, she could have been free, to go and defeat my father. She just looks at me puzzled for a few minutes.
"Honestly Zuko I don't know. I guess that that would be the worse way to go. In my opinion." She says.
"Thank you Katara." I say forming a small smile forming on his lips.
"Don't mention it." She says smiling back. Agni she is beautiful when she smiles.
I can't help but continue to stare at her, I can't pull my eyes away from her for some weird strange reason. "Seriously don't mention it. I am still considering throwing your ass back in that river." She says, somewhat teasing, but somewhat serious. But for some unknown reason, I know she won't.
"Sure Katara. Sure." I say smiling and chuckling.
She comes back with the wood and I start up a small fire for us. She gets fish and we eat, it is quiet, but no awkwardly quiet. It is then starting to get late, and I tell her to sleep in my arms. I know she thinks its so she can't escape, but if she was to leave right now, I honestly couldn't go after her, my body isn't up for that right now. And I like having her sleep in my arms. I always sleep a little more sounder and I know she is safer in my arms.
We begin to walk to the village I originally intended on us going to, I know I can send a fire hawk to my uncle and have him come and rescue Katara and I and then we can begin on our journey. Though it takes a little longer on foot, and a lot longer since I am injured. I can tell Katara is getting pissed off at me a lot, but she is just adorable when she is mad. Her nose scrunches up and her face becomes red.
We continue walking for a little while but I am starting to become uncomfortable with the pain. She offers to help heal me by using her bending. But I don't want her to. I let my guard down and I am going to suffer my consequence for my mistake. That and the healing hurts like a bitch.
"Katara lets stop, I am starting to feel light headed and my ribs hurt." I say claims. I know I have delayed our arrival to the village by a minimum of two days know with my constant breaks. But I am purposefully doing this, I like the alone time I have with Katara.
"Zuko, we really just need to continue treading on. At this rate we will be adding another day to our village." She says walking back towards me.
"I don't give a fuck. I am in pain and I just want to rest. Besides its almost noon and we need to eat and maintain our energy." I say. "And last time I checked I am the one in charge here. I am a prince, and your captour. So we will do as I say."
Oh I know I struck a nerve there. But I honestly don't care, I am tired and hungry and I just want to sit back and relax. I already discussed with my uncle a long time ago that if we are ever separated for some unknown reason, to wait at where we docked at originally and I will send a fire hawk to him saying where I was. So I am not worried of our arrival.
"Are you fucking serious?! You did not just say that. I should of just left your sorry ass back in the river and let you die. Then all our problems would be solved. I could join Aang again and we wouldn't have to worry about your gloomy ass barging in on us and trying to kidnap him to take him to god forsaken father!" She yells stomping towards me. She glare up at him, she is about shorter than me and its absolutely adorable how she is trying to be all intimidating, where right now she doesn't even look like she would harm a fly. I can't help but smirk down at her knowing well that that will piss her off even more than what she already is."You know what Zuko, I am done! I am leaving your sorry ass here! Have fun fending for yourself ass hole!"
Ahh there is the defiance she is acclamied for. She beigns to turn away from me, and before she can even take a step, I grab a hold of her arm and back her up against a tree. Even though her little stunt is cute, I will not stand for it. I have my body flush up against her and I can feel every curvature of hers against me. I slowly descend my mouth down to her ear to make sure that when I speak my teeth will graze her ear.
"See now sweetness. You had your chance to run, you have had multiple chances to run, but yet each time you have stayed. You even saved my life. I think you don't want to run." I say against her ear lobe, hear her breath hitch, and I smile in my slight victory. "I think you just want to stay here, because you are growing fond of me. Don't think I don't notice you staring at me when you think I am not looking. I can feel your heart beating rapidly, and don't think I didn't notice your breathing hitch."
"You're insane Zuko. I have feelings for you, but of hate." She says trying to lie. She is a terrible liar.
I look down at her and she looks up at me. Her eyes are huge and the only thing I can think about is how bad I want her. I want to have her lips up against my lips. I want to feel her pressed up against my body, but without clothes, I want to taste every part of her. I want to posses her body and make her mine.
"Katara. Katara. Just give into your feelings." I says slowly descending my head down towards her. To where my lips are only an inch away from hers. "I can make you feel all sorts of different emotions. I can take you places where you never even thought you could go. I can make you forget everything besides me." I say tentatively brushing my lips up against hers, purposefully teasing her. "Just give in."
I then press my mouth against her in a full blown kiss. I hear and feel her moan against my lips and feel her wrap her arms around my neck, full surrendering herself into our kiss. Agni her lips feel amazing against mine. I can't help but want to know if she tastes amazing. So I run my tongue against her bottom lip and when she gasps I invade her mouth. She tastes like fresh spring mountain water and berries and I can't help but get enough of her. My entire body begins to react and my hands roam all over her body and I begin to grip her ass and she moans again. I try to hide my erection from kissing her, but I just want to throw all of her clothes off and posses her body right then against that tree.
But for some unknown reason she shoves me away from her. I make successfully adjust myself before she notices.
"That can never happen again Zuko." She says to me. How dare she think that, didn't she feel anything, of course she did Zuko she fucking moaned for Agni's sake. I know it will happen again, I will have her begging for it to happen again.
"Say whatever you want Katara, but I will kiss you whenever I feel like it. And don't act like you didn't like it. I heard you're moan, and I plan on making you moan more soon, very soon." I say, I see her blush form on her checkes and she looks beautiful with it, I wonder how far down it reaches. Damn should not of thought of that cause know I am even harder than what I was before. "I am gonna go get some firewood." I say while turning around and walking away.
When I make sure I am far away I can help but to pull out my erection and begin to jack myself off. I remember how it felt to be pressed up against Katara and how it would feel to have her hand around me, her mouth. And before I know I come and quietly yell out her name. Damn woman is gonna be the death of me.
I quickly grab some firewood and head back to Katara where she already has some fish ready to be fried. I don't say anything to her for the rest of the night. I know this will ultimately help me get her in the long run, to the point where she will be begging for me. I have her lay beside me and we both fall asleep.
Authors note*
So I did just copy and past the dialogue from the other two chapters, but like I said earlier it was going to be all in Zuko's perspective and with me copying and pasting this way I know it is indeed the same and not messed up. But there is parts that are obviously not in the other chapters, hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Please review.
