                                            Imprisoned





The Boiling Rock… an isolated isle of the Fire Nation, which is surrounded by the crashing waves of the salty ocean. But even all the water’s cooling abilities were not enough to ease the terrible heat that was caused by the almost sixteen hours long period of time while the sun shone upon it day after day. Probably that’s why Fire Lord Sozin chose this place… to create the safest prison where no living man could escape from.

This was the place where their friends were… where their family were… so they came here, to free them all.

Her hand lied upon the mouth of her waterskin, while his ones held his dual swords, ready to face those who tried to stop them inside the building complex that stood above the ground, but also continued under it.

But as the duo reached corridor after corridor and they didn’t even face anyone who would stop them, her hand slowly left its place then she crossed her arms standing behind him. “All right, admit we’re lost.”

He seemingly stiffened before her and if she had faced him she could have seen as he scowled ahead of himself. “We’re going exactly the way that map showed.” He said before glancing back at her. “And just as you reminded me before every. Single. Corner.” He went on then turned his gaze back ahead of them. “We’re going in the right direction, so if we keep going, we’ll be there…”

Katara rolled her eyes following him. “Well, we should be there by now!” She said making his fists clench upon the handles of his swords.

“It probably takes longer than we’d first thought.” He said with forced calmness in his voice.

Katara let out a deep breath but after that fell silent… well as long as instead of the prison cells they had arrived to another turnout that shouldn’t have been there.

“And now what, genius?” She asked and he gritted his teeth.

“I don’t know, all right?!” He snapped looking at her then waved with a hand. “We’ll just pick one…”

“Yeah, that is a well-thought-out plan…” She murmured darkly, which made him growl.

“If you hated this much the idea of coming with me why didn’t you say so before?” He yelled at her and she put a hand to her hip.

“Oh, so that I would be the bad guy who can’t get on with poor Zuko!” She said making a frown. “I don’t think so…” She went on and walked ahead beside him, choosing the right corridor.

The prince stood in his place glaring back at the direction they came from while clenching both his jaw and his fists. But he managed to not shout back at her, only let out a big amount of smoke through his nostrils.

He slowly turned around and went after her, but made sure to slowly get before her, taking the lead again.

“You always have to be the first, don’t you?” She asked tauntingly and a slight smirk appeared on her face when he groaned then doubled his speed.

She was about to say that he should slow down because he was too loud, but when she opened her mouth…

Suddenly an earth-gloved hand covered her mouth and nose while her arms were grabbed from behind. Before she could let out a noise, a little blue flame appeared next to her face and when she looked through it, she could see the familiar face of the firebending princess.

“You’ll remain silent, if you want to live…” Azula whispered to her, then let her fire die out, going after her brother, who disappeared at the next corner…

Zuko fumed to himself as he headed through the short corridor and murmured to himself imitating her voice. “You always have to be the first, don’t you…? Argh!” He took some steps and reached another corner. “As if she had been so perfect!”

He made a last turn, but when he looked up his mouth stayed open. He walked right into a dead-end, and on the wall there was the Fire Nation insignia with a message written above it, which said only two words: “Game over.”

His eyes turned round and as he turned on his heel he already started shouting. “Katara watch out! It’s a tr…!”

He never got the chance to finish his sentence because the earth rose and closed around his legs, making him fall. His swords flew out of his hands, and after he ended in a kneeling position the earth closed upon his hands too, when a pair of red boots stepped before him.

He slowly raised his head, though he already knew who he’s going to see…

After his eyes caught sight of the captured Katara – who was held by a Dai Lee agent, who covered her mouth – Zuko shot a dark glare at his sister.

“Oh, Zuzu…” She started as a triumphant smile formed at the edge of her lips. “I knew you would come back…”
:wave: Hi there! :D

This is the first part of a collaboration that :iconpaintedbluerose: and I decided to do. :nod: The next part is going to be written by her, so if you don't watch her yet, then it is time to think about it! :D

(Also if you don't know what I'm talking about, then have a look at my previous journal note, here: [link])

It's gonna be a longer Zutara story, based on :iconsilver-scorpian:'s idea. (:glomp: Thank you for it! :aww:) Of course she won't have to take responsibility of what we'll make out of this if you don't like it... :giggle:

Well, I hope you'll like what we do together :) and if you do then you'll tell us too. ^.^

So, here it is! :aww: Good luck Rose! Now I'll start learning to that test... :XD:
