i onw nothing.......

Katara followed Zuko in silence. She wanted to know the way out, so she could get away easily, but the palace was like a maze and she was sure to get lost if she tried. They stopped in front of two huge double doors. She looked at the doors in awe; her room had one small door. These stretched to the ceiling, and were colossal. Zuko smirked at her expression. Though he wouldn't say it, she really did look like a peasant, gaping at his doors.

He tightened his grip and pushed open the doors. He was going to get her to tell him her secret one way or another. Katara gasped when she saw the room unfold in front of her.

In a corner to her left, there was a small couch, covered in red satin. It was facing a roaring fire in a grand fireplace. In front of her was a desk, his probably. Papers and scrolls scattered everywhere on it. A few ink holders and some brushes lying about. On her right, were a book shelf and two small chairs. Behind the desk was a door, leading to his bed chamber she guessed.

"Are you ok? Never see a room before?" he smirked.
"I have, but none like this." As soon as he let go of her wrist, she took her chance. She ran to the door behind her, but he was faster. He grabbed her upper arm, and pushed her against the wall. She winced as her bruised back was slammed into the hard stone.

"Do we need to do this again?" he hissed in her face.
She sighed in defeat. "No."
"Good girl," he mocked, "now tell me. What is your secret?"
"I can…"
"You can what?" he interrogated.
"Well I can….bloodbend." she admitted.

"What is bloodbending?" he asked, moving closer to her. Their faces inches apart, their noses almost touching.
"I can bend your blood, to do what I want." She sighed.
"Show me." He ordered.
"On who? I need to perform it on someone."
"On me" he said, calmly.

"I could hurt you. No, I won't do it." She stated.
"You will."
"And why will I?"
"Because I said so…" she glared at him, and he glared right back. She wanted to shout at him, to throw him off of her, to get away. But he wouldn't budge when she tried to squirm away. She tried to kick him, but he dodged, and kicked her right back. She whimpered in pain.

"Fine, I'll show you…" she gave in. He backed off her and she limped to the couch. She used the back of it for support as he stood there and glared at her.
"Are you going to do it or not?" he asked.

"Yes, hang on."

She put the weight on her other foot as she stood and concentrated. She could feel his blood flowing through his veins and she could see where to cut it off, so it wouldn't kill him, but maybe hurt him.

She moved her hands swiftly through the air, and he began to go down on his knees. Zuko felt like he was a puppet and Katara was the puppet master. He couldn't move on his own anymore, and she could do whatever she willed.
Her vision began to blur, but she still concentrated. Her legs felt like they were holding a thousand tons, and her arms couldn't hold up. She tried to stay up but failed. She crumpled under her legs and her arms dropped. Zuko was able to move, and just in time. HE ran to catch Katara before she hit her head on the fire place, and possibly cracked her skull open.

He picked up her limp body, and had no idea what to do with her. He couldn't bring her to her room Sokka would see Zuko carrying her limp body, and after further inspection, he would see the bruises, and he would kill Zuko. He could bring her to the infirmary, but they would ask how it happened. There was only one option.

He carried her through the doors to his bed chamber, and placed her gingerly on the bed. She looked beautiful, the silk sheets, placed all around her. The red accented her skin beautifully, and her hair looked beautiful down, and placed every where.

If you didn't see her chest moving up and down, you would think she was dead. Zuko could hear her shallow, ragged breathing. He knew it was a bad idea to make her do this, but he wanted to see what she could do. And this was the consequence, her passing out. He thought about it, and now he had his answer. She was a bloodbender.

blllllaaahhhhhhh!!
