Hello everyone, there are 2 more things I need to make clear: Zuko is also eighteen years-old and in the parts where I talk to people, when I am describing age I say the number in word form, but when I am taking about a number of something, I say it in number signs. I would like to dedicate this chapter to Avatarlover1 who has been an inspiration and helped to give me advice. Thank you Avatarlover1!!! Oh and I am going to Florida for a week so I am sorry to keep you guys waiting.
Aang walked over to the scared and delicate Katara and put his arms around her waist and chest holding her close. Katara was almost too afraid to notice, but she found that she liked it.
But Zuko did not! As he watched Aang put his arms around Katara, he felt jealousy and anger flow through him like a river. How dare this man take away the girl that he loved! But Zuko silently continued to watch as Aang let go of Katara but still held her hand and guided her away from the statue to a statue of a bison. Katara was so distracted by Aang that she dropped the flower that the Firebender had given her.
Aang began to sing to her in calm voice taking both of her hands in his
No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here with you beside you
To guard you and to guide you
While Katara still felt frightened, part of her had calmed down and was feeling quite safe with Aang. So she sang back to him
Say you love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
Aang hugged her and Katara hugged him back still slightly crying but Aang sang again in his majestic voice
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
Katara let go of Aang and looked at the beautiful evening sky
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you always beside me
To hold me and to hide me
Aang gently took her hands and led her over further near the balcony
Then say you'll share with me one love one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here beside you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Katara that's all I ask of you
Katara began to sing
Say you'll share with me one love one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me
Each night each morning
They still held hands and the air between them was closing. Katara started singing
Say you love me
Katara needed to know and Aang couldn't resist, so he sang
You know I do
Love me that's all I ask of you
And their lips met in kiss full of passion and longing. Aang brought his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Aang lifted her off the ground and twirled her in his arms. They parted and smiled at each other with their foreheads touching. Aang set her down and cupped her cheek and tenderly kissed her again. Katara eagerly kissed back and after they finished, they sang:
Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me that's all I ask of you
They kissed each other one last time until Katara realized that people might be worried about her:
I must go they'll wonder where I am
Come with me Aang
Katara I love you
Katara blushed and sang:
Order your fine bison
Be with them at the door
Once again Aang couldn't resist
And soon you'll be beside me
Katara finished his sentence
You'll guard me and you'll guide me
And they both walked hand in hand inside. After they had left, the Firebender's dark shadow emerged from the statue and knelt down next to the fallen tulip. In his sadness he sang:
I gave you my music
Made your song take wing
And now how you've repaid me
Denied me and betrayed
He was bound to love you
When he heard you sing and bend
Katara
Zuko couldn't take it. After years of staying strong, he cried. He held the flower to his face as tears began to flow down his face and then he heard singing which began to calm him down, but make him angrier
Say you'll share with me
One love one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me
Each night each morning
Zuko began to tear the tulip petal by petal away. Then he leapt onto the bison statue and in his anger sang furiously, but at the same time beautifully
You will curse the day you did not do
All that the Firebender asked of you
He then released a huge flame of fire to the sky. He had a plan in mind, but he had to disappear...for now.
