There was someone holding her wrist.
Katara screamed and immediately began fighting. The hand let go and someone, a woman began speaking, “My name is Amayu. I am Doctor Bingwen’s assistant. You are in the infirmary. No one will hurt you here. Would you like a drink of water or juice?”
Katara’s eyes slowly came into the focus. It was the same woman who had given her the bottle of peroxide in the shower, “Water.”
“The water is on the other side of the screen. Do you trust me to get it or would you like to come with me and watch me pour it?” the young doctor asked kindly. She’d worked with soldiers and trauma victims. It was better to be honest, speak quietly and make slow deliberate movements otherwise she would risk startling the Waterbender and retriggering the incident.
“I’ll come with you,” Katara said weakly not trusting the woman not to poison her. She groaned when she tried to sit up.
Amayu took a step forward, hands extended in neutral position, “You were seriously injured and most likely are not able to sit or stand on your own. We were cleaning you as part of the examination and you began to heal the injuries in your genital area while you were unconscious. We supplied the water necessary for you to complete the process. There are bruises all over your body and you have a concussion. Please allow me to assist you.”
Katara nodded stiffly then closed her eyes. The simple head movement made her dizzy. She allowed the doctor to help her sit then stand. They slowly made their way to the sink. She placed her hands beneath the water and yelped as the bones began shifting. It wasn’t enough to completely heal them but she was able to gain enough dexterity to hold the cup Amayu gave it to her. The doctor watched in fascination as the water glowed against her lips as she drank.
“I understand you want to heal your injuries, but please be careful not to push yourself. We don’t use your methods, but we are fully trained in treating all manner of injuries. Please allow us to care for you until you are strong enough to further heal yourself,” Amayu requested kindly even though she had taken a step backwards when Katara drew water to her hand and placed it on her head.
Katara agreed and asked to take a bath. Amayu was leading her to the infirmary’s restroom when she saw Zuko laying a few beds over, “What’s he doing here?” she asked angrily while clumsily grabbing a pitcher with both hands as she limped to his bedside.
Amayu quickly moved to stand in front of her, “Miss Katara, as a woman I would like nothing more than to help you help you slice off his man parts, dip them in hot chili sauce, and feed them to him. Unfortunately my status as a Fire Nation citizen and member of its Navy will not allow me to do so. Please do not do anything that forces me to rescind the offer of kindness I am extending to you. Proper protocol would be to notify the ship’s officers that you are awake so they can begin an interrogation but you have been through enough tonight. I would much rather allow you take a nice bath, warm up some of Fan’s rice stuff for you to try and eat then pretend you didn’t wake up.”
“Fine,” Katara hissed between her teeth. “Thank you for your kindness. Do not think I will not take the next opportunity I can to kill him.”
Amayu double checked to make sure no one was listening, “And I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. The ripped eyelid and open bites wounds were a nice start but next time I recommend gouging. If you must bite remember if you angle your mouth beneath where his chin meets his neckline there will be very little muscle protecting his carotid artery. Fellating also provides an excellent biting opportunity so long as you remember to first suck his penis. Use that as a distraction to feel for the artery a few inches to the left or right in the thin skinned crease of his upper thigh and torso. Bite there. If you’re able to compromise the artery he’ll be dead in 3 minutes.”
Flabbergasted, Katara dropped the heavy metal pitcher she had picked up intending to bash in his skull, “Why are you telling me this?”
“To repay an honor debt to your tribesmen. My sister is a Firebender. She was captured by rebels in the Earth Kingdom three years ago. We thought she was dead. A little over a year ago she returned home pregnant with injuries that made yours seem minor. Or rather she washed ashore in a small Water Tribe canoe in a port controlled by the Fire Nation. Her hands had been repeatedly crushed and to this day remain mostly useless.”
A look of understanding passed between them. Canoes did not have sails; they moved only by Waterbending or paddling.

Katara took her bath and healed more of her injuries. Amayu kept her word and heated some of the rice gruel for her and brought it along with a contraceptive, antibiotic, and calming tea blend to the bathing area. She acceded to Katara’s request of more sterile water and tried not to stare when the girl guided it inside herself for deeper healing. She helped Katara back to the bed thirty minutes before it was time for her shift to end.
When Katara woke again the sun was up and a different person was checking her vitals. This one perfunctorily did his duty and notified the ships officers she’d regained consciousness.

Admiral Chu-Hua reintroduced herself and stood at her bedside, “The Ursa is Fire Lord Ozai’s private vessel. It is my sole responsibility to maintain it. While we are at sea I can override Zuko’s authority as crown prince and execute you for willfully damaging the Fire Lord’s personal property. For now, I am content to humor my cute little cousin and allow him to keep you as his pet.”
Katara bristled angrily but Chu-hua snorted at the action, “Little girl, if you continue to act like a disobedient Komodo rhino when he tries to ride you, you shall meet the same fate. You will be sent to the slaughterhouse. I will be more than happy to personally tend to your execution after I let the crew have a little fun.”
“The only reason you and your brother were still breathing is because Prince Zuko spared you. Do not think for one moment that you are needed to control the Avatar. A quadruple amputation, removing his tongue and eyes would be a more efficient way to keep him from bending and show the world the Fire Nation’s true strength. A person can live like that for several decades. By the time the Avatar dies, we will have completely subjugated the Water Tribes and we can train the next Avatar to suit our purposes. Plus we wouldn’t have two extra mouths to feed.”
She then smiled and patted Katara’s ankle, “The choice is yours. Your brother’s life is at Prince Zuko’s whim. I have no doubt you will find a way to kill him and gladly end your life in the process but remember Sokka’s fate is tied to his.”

Arraye: Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad you like the complex characters. You are absolutely right; this isn’t a story where everyone becomes happy overnight but things do get better between them.

Limonana: Thank you for your review and for letting me know I need to provide a better explanation. The long answer is here http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/topic/43352-borealis-a-zutara-story/ . The quick answers are he’s still drunk in the shower. He hurts her because he’s hurting. He blames her because that’s what abusers do.

Anon: Thank you for your comment. Do you mind telling me why Katara is getting on your nerves? This is my first Zutara story. I want to keep in as close to in character as possible given the situation and the feedback will be helpful. (Also did the last sentence of this chapter about Sokka’s fate being tied to Zuko explain some of her behavior? They’re stuck on a boat surrounded by other Fire Nation ships. Appa’s injured and they have no real means of escape. Other than fighting Zuko when he attacks her she’s realized her best course of action is to wait for a better opportunity to escape.)
