Next chapter up! Hope you’ll like it!.
Katara sat and hugged her knees. For how much time was she here? Minutes, hours, days? Time lost it’s meaning in this cavern. It was really huge with many rooms and smaller caves. Green glowing crystals everywhere. These were the tombs under Ba Sing Se.
Katara simply couldn’t believe she was ambushed and could do nothing against it. Azula and another two girl disguised themselves as Kyoshi Warriors. When she wanted to greet them, they only attacked. What was it? What made Katara so easy to catch? She didn’t know. But Azula had Earthbenders on her side. That meant that the King was in deep trouble. And she could do nothing about it!
„Goddamit! Fuck this fucking Waterbending! Useless! Fuck, fuck, FUCK!” she was swearing as never before. She really felt like a child. So… helpless. She hugged her knees tighter and cried. Just cried. She was alone.
„Please… someone… anyone…”
Suddenly the earth above her head opend with a loud noise. Before she could stand to investigate, a body fell from it right in front of her. The hole closed.
„Oh maan…” the figure said, and started to stand up. „What fall…” Katara hurried to him to help him up.
„You all right? Are you hurt?” she offered her hand, and the man grabbed it. He lifted himself up, and looked at her.
„Thanks, I… oh shit.” Katara stopped moving instantly. The man also. She opened her mouth but said nothing. Long brown hair. Golden eyes. Large scar on the left side of his face. Zuko. Shit.
Katara suddenly jumped backwards, and when she reached ground she assumed a defensive form, and stared at the Prince, awaiting attack. Zuko just snorted, turned and sat on the ground. Katara was shocked beyond belief. No attack? What the hell?
Zuko didn’t know why he didn’t attack. Maybe because deep down he knew that it would be futile. She was down here, all right. His situation didn’t change, no matter who was here with him. He was still a prisoner. Plus, how ridiculous it would look like? She doesn’t have her Moon, he didn’t have the Sun. Little children throwing water splashes and flames no bigger than a candle’s light.
"What are you doing here?” her voice was cold and stern, although she was as surprised as he was. Katara was still in a battle form. Zuko looked back on her.
"Would you cut that out already? It irritates me.” Well, it had the opposite effect. She flinched, but didn’t waver, her form stronger than ever. Zuko started to loose his patience quickly.
"What the fuck do you want? Why do you want to fight? Just sit down, Goddamit! I have no time for your fighting-paranoia!” Zuko stood up again, but still, he didn’t form an offensive stance. Katara said nothing and stood firmly.
"What, should I yell the obvious at you? I don’t want to fight! Got it?” Zuko looked at her as if she was an idiot.
"I don’t trust you.” Was all she said. Zuko smirked.
"Well no shit, I don’t trust you. Still, I don’t come at you, guns blazing! Look…” -Okay Zuko, now what did Uncle say about women? Try to be nice, and try to reason with them! Oh my God reason with women. Hey, I think it would be easier to find ice in a volcano! Still, I might need her help. Okay, here I go.-
"Look, can’t you just relax? We are in the same situation here! Can’t we just forget about how we hate each other for one freaking minute?” Katara stared at him for minutes, before easing up her form, putting her hands down.
"Just this once Zuko.” She said sternly. „But when we get out of here, I kick your flaming ass, got it?”
"Yeah, yeah.” He waved her off. "So we call it a truce?”
"So be it.”
"Very well.” He sat down again, but this time, not with his back to her. She did the same, but still alarmed. She didn’t trust him, truce or not.
"So…um…” Zuko started again „How did you get here?”
*
An unknown amount of time has passed. Zuko was now awake, his back to the rock wall. Katara was sleeping not so far from him. The Prince was relieved. She was so irritating sometimes. She simply just couldn’t let it go, not for a freaking second. Every time he made a move, he breathed, the Waterbender would just stare at him until she reached the conclusion that he wouldn’t attack her. Zuko was really surprised that she fell asleep in his presence. They called a truce for God’s sake! It would be against his honor to betray it.
She told him how she got here. Azula ambushed her with Ty Lee and Mai and some Dai Li agents. A whole squad against one Waterbender. Azula was really careful. That meant she needed this girl for something. Bait, perhaps? But how could the Avatar come here, down to these caves? Had he already mastered the Earthbending? Or that girl… that blind one. She may sence their presence in these tombs. Probably. So she’s a bait. The Avatar and his sister will come here. This won’t be good. Not at all. He looked up, determination in his eyes.
"I have to do something. I have to choose. Uncle Iroh, where are you when I need you the most?”
Hope you liked it! Review please! I want to know my mistakes to correct them. That doesn’t mean you can’t say positive things… :-[) The next one will be much longer, I just wanted to start the story with short ones.
