Dance No More: Katara's view
For Disclaimer look at other chapter.
A/N: This chapter is how Katara viewed the night.
Sighing Katara looked around the room. It looked like she was the only one not dancing. Even Sokka and Aang had managed to find Dance partners. She fiddled with the blue material of her costume.
"Would you like to dance?"
Startled Katara turned and found her self looking at the mask of a man dressed in an archer costume.
"Sure."
Taking his hand they went out onto the dance floor. An unfamiliar tune stared up as they began to dance.
Would you dance
if I asked you to dance?
Would you run
and never look back?
Would you cry
if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?
Katara looked up at the boy she was dancing.
'I wonder who he is.'
He twirled her out and brought her back, expertly picking up where they had left off.
'Well who ever he is he sure can dance.'
Would you tremble
if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.
The room was a blur and yet they kept spinning around, never once bumping into the other couples. Looking up Katara tried to see if she could look past the mask as they boy didn't seem very intent on talking only to find he was looking at her. She blushed, thankful that he couldn't see through her mask.
"I'm Katara." She said trying to star a conversation.
But all he did was nod. Yet Katara didn't mind. For some reason it seemed silence was needed more than talking.
I can be yourhero baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
"Hey Aang look at Katara."
The young monk looked over at his friend.
"I wonder who she's dancing with."
"I don't know but I don't think we should trust him."
"There you go with your instincts again."
Would you swear
that you'll always be mine?
Or would you lie?
would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care...
You're here tonight.
The song continued playing and the teens continued dancing. By now Katara couldn't have started a conversation if she wanted to. Lost to the beat of the song and the calming effect of the arm on her waist all she could do was let the mysterious boy lead her around the room.
I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
Katara was pulled back into reality by Sokka.
"Katara we have to go. Zuko's ship's been spotted in the harbor.
"I'll be right there. Get Aang."
After casting a quick glance at the boy his sister was dancing with Sokka nodded and went to find the young avatar in the crowd. Turning Katara looked at her dance partner.
"Who are you?"
He bent he head next to her ear.
"A follower." Was all he whispered before straining and melting into the crowd.
Puzzled Katara went over to the door. In a minute Sokka was there with Aang. As they walked out the last part of the song played.
I can be your Hero
If you listen to the song I did leave out some of it but it was only a repeat of what had already been said so I figured I didn't need it. Anyway read on.
