I'll admit, I've never listened to this song. But... it is for my nakama Things24. She was the ONLY ONE who made a fricking suggestion soif you want another chapter of this, make suggestions! I don't CARE if I've never listened to the song. I will do a songfic for it. Just gimme the name of the song (and band, please), name of the fiction realm you want (EX: Naruto, Bleach, IT, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings), and preferred characters. Things only gave me the song... so it kinda wrote itself. And if it's awful, don't lock me in the sewer with Pennywise.
Enoki: Her new "toy" is the movie IT... -_- '
And...? Anyways...

Circle
Circle encircles the earth
Chance and choice break his heart
His innocent arm moves to save me and I am spared
His beautiful arm is bloody and cut off
His heart ripped out to show me he loved
But I would not believe him
He did all that he could
I still would not believe him
I was in trouble, again. Just Zuko and I. I couldn't see what was happening, but that was because of the blindfold. I felt a hand grip my arm and I knew it was Zuko.
"Katara, stay close." He said quietly. I jerked my arm from him and pulled the blindfold off my face.
"Get away from me!" I shrieked. I knew he was the one who had broken me out of that cell. I knew he was the one who had taken the hits, I could see the blood on his dark red shirt. But I didn't care. This was Zuko I was looking at.
"KATARA!" He yelped suddenly and reached to pull me back. He did, but I hit the ground harder than I should have. I heard Zuko cry out in pain. He was clutching at the stump of his left arm. His hand was still gripping my shirt with the wrist still attached, but everything from the wrist up was gone.
I left his arms empty and tied outstretched for me until he died
Left his arms empty and tied outstretched for me until he died
No man
Shows greater love
Than when a man
Lays down his life
For his beloved
"Z-Zuko!" I gasped. He turned his gaze from the torn, bloody flesh to me. He smiled weakly.
"It's ok." He said softly and turned to face the enemy. Three Firenation soldiers and Azula. Azula pointed at me.
"I'll deal with the Waterbender." She said, chuckling. The soldiers shrugged. They attacked Zuko again. Zuko tried his best to dodge, but was thrown off balance by his lack of a left arm.
"Over HERE!" Azula lashed out at me with lightening. I had no water to bend so I was condemned to the same tactics Zuko was using. Dodge and try not to get killed.
"Katara! My BLOOD!" Zuko shouted and was subsequently blasted in the back with fire. He fell forward onto his knees, back alight. I bit my lip and began to bend the blood that had spilled from his wound. Azula was disgusted by the fact that I was waterbending using her brother's blood.
"Yeeeuch!" Azula hissed. Zuko had gotten up again and fought the soldiers. He killed all three of them. His sister glared at the corpses for a moment then turned to me. "Fine…" Azula makes to lift her arms. "Out numbered and out maneuvered…"
Then she blasted the bolt of lightening that I swore would take my life.
I left his arms empty and tied outstretched for me until he died
Left his arms empty and tied outstretched for me until he died
Here I'm alive
And I don't have the right
He gave me the right
Costing him his life
New mercy's in the morning
For a second, everything went black. That was when my head hit the dried up stone fountain. A heavy weight was sprawled across me and it didn't seem to want to move. I tasted blood on my lips. Azula gasped and I heard a body fall to the ground. Zuko rolled off of me and looked at me with his beautiful golden eyes.
"Katara… You never wanted to hear me and for good reason." He grunted. "But hear this: I loved you since I first saw you. I still love you." His voice cut off in a pained groan. He looked up at the sky. "Remember." He said quietly, his last word riding out on a final breath. Tears dripped unbidden from the corners of my eyes.
Azula lay dead on the side of our little battlefield, pierced through the heart by a sword that Zuko had thrown just in the instant that he was hit with the lightening. I bent over his body and collapsed against his chest, sobbing.
"Always. I'll always remember.
I believe! what if I believe you now?
Could it ever change this?
Forgive me, relieve me,
Please come back to life.

When Sokka found Zuko and Katara, he found a crying Waterbender hunched over the corpse of a dead Firenation prince. Zuko was dead. And it didn't look like a fairy tale. His left arm was gone and blood soaked much of the ground. A severed hand lay on the ground near where Katara knelt. Zuko's eyes stared up at the darkening sky. The eyes lacked their usual fiery glint and stared dully up at the bluish-purplish sky.
"Katara?" Sokka reached out a hand to his sister.
She sat up straight. Then, in a sudden fit she gripped Zuko's shirt and screamed. "COME BACK! I need you!" She cried.
"Katara!" Sokka shouted. He grabbed his sister and pulled her up into a hug. "It'll be ok. Zuko wouldn't want you to be sad. Please. It'll be ok."
Please come back to life.
Come back to my life.
I believe, what if i believe you now?
Forgive me, relieve me,
Please come back to life.
