'How could he do this? How could he agree to this!?'
Katara spun around and punched the bark of a tree., quite hard,
Her fists were clenched at her sides. She was breathing heavily. Her face was a shade of red, and she wanted to cry.
SHe stared at the tree and then down at her fist. It was bleeding. She stooped down and wiped it on the grass.
'How could he do this?!' SHe thought to herself over and over and over.
"How could he let him join us?" SHe said, spitting the word 'him' out as though it were poison in her mouth.
It was night. Toph and Aang were both asleep in their tents.
Zuko had set up a blanket at the end of the claring, but she had avoided him and now didnt know if he was there or not.
"Like I care...." She spat.
She sat down on the grass with her back against the tree.
She couldnt sleep. She was too angry to sleep.
How could Aang just let him join them. Let him come with them after all he had done to them! All he had done to her!
He took her brother away! And his nation took her parents!
She gritted her teeth. She felt so much like crying, but she couldnt cry.
She hadnt cried since she had heard the news about her father. After that, she had resolved not to cry anymore. She wouldnt allow herself. She couldnt.
He was a monster. he took her brother. And He one one of them now! NO! No, no, no......
She rested her head on her knees. Why was this happening? Why her?
She took in a deep breath.
She wished so desperately to forget. SHe wished she could forget seeing her mother, dead. Seeing the tears in her Father's and Brother's eyes. Wished she could forget hearing about her fathers death. And then she heard, heard one of the soldiers one day talking about how he died. How he was slaughtered by four soldiers. It had made her sick. She wished so desperately to forget seeing her brother being dragged off, flying and hitting that tree.
It was his fault. His fault. He did this to her....
"Katara....." SHe looked up and narrowed her eyes. Zuko....
He could see the resentment-no- the fury in her eyes every time he looked at her.
It had been only this morning that he had requested to join them. Aang and Toph had both agreed, or mostly the earthbender had just shrugged and said "Whatever."And crossed her arms
Katara hadnt said anything. She had just walked off and resorted to avoiding him like a plague.
EVen though it was nothing less than he expected, he was still upset.
He wanted to badly for her to know he changed. That he really had changed.
But she would never listen to him.
It seemed only natural that she wouldnt, after all hed done.
He sighed and looked around the forest. He couldnt sleep, so he just got up and started walking around.
It was a warm night, with a cool breeze. The moon was half full.
He sighed.
He didnt know if he should try to get her to believe that he was good now, or if he should just leave her on her own.
He was stubborn. He wanted things to go his way. He wanted to her to understand, but that didnt seem likely.
He walked on for a while, thinking, when he saw Katara, sitting with her back against a tree.
'Just turn around and walk away quietly. Dont disturb her.' His brain told him. He acted against it.
He walked quietly up to her.
"Katara...." He said quietly.
She turned her head to look at him and glared daggers at him.
"What do you want?" She spat.
"I.....uh....I dont know." He admitted. Idiot!
She stood up an d faced him. She was short. Her head came up to his chin so she had to look up to look him in the eye.
"Well then leave me alone." She walked past him, the darkness of the forest swallowing her up.
He sighed a deep heavy sigh and thought about going to go sleep for a while.
When he turned his head he found the Earthbender girl standing directly in front of him. He gave a little yelp of surprise.
"You'd do better to just leave Sugar-queen alone."
Sugar-queen? Was she talking about Katara.
"Shes not gonna be very happy around you right now. So you should just leave her alone until she can figure things out." She said in all seriousness.
"Goodnight." She said as she turned around.
"And by the way. I have a name you know." And with that she walked off.
Well there you have it. Dont worry. I'll have it getting more interesting soon. Hope you enjoed it!
