Chapter 4
Katara huddled, shivering slightly.
She shouldn't have come without her thick deep seal coat.
But she'd left it in her room and she'd need to escape her guards... Ah well.
As Katara climbed the last few steps she thought about the young man she ran into.
When she'd met him in the queue to the city, she'd thought him abrupt and she'd never been touched by a stranger let alone restrained.
But she'd felt she'd met him before.
It was something about his entitled stance, the way he mocked her and the way his eyes seemed to see through her scarf through her...
No, she couldn't have met him. She would have remembered those eyes anywhere-they were molten, like amber, like gold.
As she thought this she put her hand to her throat where her most precious possession hung, that never left her. Her necklace.
"I'm going to find mum." Katara shouted to Sokka before running off
"Katara, you can't go out of the city without a grown-up!" Sokka cried as he ran after
Katara ran as fast as her 6year old legs could carry her, tears streaming down her face.
'She had to find mum. She's been missing all day. I have to find her.'
When Katara saw the gates open, she stopped to see who entered.
It was her father, who had been out all day when there was a report her mum had gone missing.
Tears silently streaked down his face, as held her mother's necklace.
The unique red silk clinging onto a charcoal stone that intricately carved, rimed with a thin line of gold.
Tears were now streaming down Katara's face as she knelt down at the altar.
As she curled on the smooth ice floor she whispered to herself
"I miss you mum, I need your guidance more than ever. Help me."
Katara heard the wind whip up outside as a long casting showdown came over her.
As she turned around she saw that only waterbenders see just before death.
The Blue Spirit.
B.O.T.P
Zuko stepped into the flawless temple, that had intricate carved stories on the walls of people seeming to fight, swim away from giant fish and being crowned.
As Zuko took a few more steps down the long room he saw the girl curled up into a ball, crying as she whispered something.
When she turned around her eyes full of shock.
Zuko stood there frozen, as she sat up, before standing completely.
B.O.T.P
Katara was drawn closer by something indescribable.
Even when Katara took a few steps closer to him, he didn't flinch or disappear, as she though he would.
She soon came to stand right next to him, looking up into the blank eye spaces. Her tears were still silently running down her face.
Katara soon though she was dreaming, until a gloved hand carefully reached up to wipe away her tears.
As the warm gloved hand touched her skin, she shuddered as the warmth hit her cold cheek.
B.O.T.P
At this point Zuko was wondering what in the four nations he was doing. As he withdrew his hand, she put her hand up to touch his shoulder.
When she lightly placed there. She looked mildly confused as if he shouldn't be there.
Zuko to prove that he was there and was real, placed his hand over hers.
In doing so his mother's bracelet caught the light of the moon that was rising high in the sky.
Her eyes caught on the blue bracelet and with her other hand touched the blue-carved stone.
"Your... real?" her eyes glazed over as she looked to be about to faint.
Just as he saw her starting to crumble. As he caught her with ease, murmuring .
"Why do girls always faint around me?"
AN: Okay, they finally actually meet! Poor Zuko, although when you do get too cold you do actually faint...
