Just for You

Prisoner

The guards dragged me down the prison cells. My face legs were swollen from the beatings, the side of my face red from being pushed to the ground

Court order these days!

One of the guards walked over to my cell. "Congratulations, you will be executed in a week. Unfortunately." The man said.
Then footsteps echoed down the long thin hall. The guard looked up from me and walked to the sound.
"Prince Zuko !" The man bowed. I raised my eyebrow. Wow, I didn't expect that.
Then what came next was a loud clanking noise and Zuko running to my cell. I shot to the front of the cell.

"Zuko! What are you doing here?" His eyes were filled with worry.

"What did she tell you?" I tilted my head in question and inched closer. "Azula, she made you say that." He nodded.

"I-she. Zuko!" I groaned and leaned against the bars. My hands cupped my face. "I don't belong here anyway. Like a said vey long ago." I whispered.

"Katara, tell me at least that you were lying. Please!" He stuck his hand through the bars and held my hand.
I paused after many ragged breaths.
"I lied." I whispered so quietly I could barely here.  
He squeezed my hand and and sighed. "I have to get you out." He whispered and looked around. I shook my head.

"No. I'm done I give up." Zuko pulled me around to face him.

"No don't give up. Because I won't give up on you." He pulled me close to him. His hands came to my neck. He started leaning in closer until our lips were touching. I pulled back a centimeter.

"Zuko?" He pushed his lips back on mine and tangled his hands in my hair. His lips pressed harder into mine.

Then he pulled back for a second. "Please Katara! Don't you understand! I'm in love with you! I've been in love with you since we were kids! Let me have this moment with you." I leaned back to look into his eyes.

Then I pressed my lips back on his. He breathed in harshly.
I put my hands on his chest ready to push back when he was done. This felt so right but it had to be wrong. I pushed back.

"Zuko why are you telling me this now." I held my hand to his cheek. He grabbed my wrist.

"I have to go the guard will wake up any second." He sighed and started standing up.
"Zuko." I bragged his hand before he could walk off.

"I-I" I trembled slightly.

"Katara I have to go." He squeezed my hand and left.
