Writing is exhausting :( here’s a snippet of a Azutara vampire AU I’ve been working on. It‘s the draft so please don’t judge me too harshly! Katara is mute and Azula is a vampire.
"Lord Azula welcome home" another woman emerges. She's slender and two black buns sit perfectly on top of her head.
"I've brought a guest.” She ignores the greeting and drops her cloak against the mahogany banister. “What is your name girl?" Lord Azula turns back to her.
Katara's hands move rapidly as she tries to sign out her name. They shake when the women look to her confused.
"She is a mute!" The giddy woman squeals with delight and Lord Azula's eyes seem to grow brighter.
Katana wonders if she should go find some paper to write on when Azula speaks.
"Katara is a beautiful name."
Katara's eyes widened. She knows sign?
She is shaken from her stupor when Lord Azula grabs her hand. "You must be famished, would you like to eat?"
Her head almost moves on its own as she nods.
"Ty'lee bring her to the kitchen and give her anything she wants."
"Come with me dolly" Ty'lee's hand comes to hers before stopping before it.
Katara waits for Ty’lee to grab her hand but she never does, instead she chuckles dryly and gestures for her to follow.
Katara follows behind Ty'lee. She glances around the long corridor she now walks down. No pictures decorate the home only dark mahogany panels and windows. She wonders where she is. If her family is looking for her.
Katara walks right into Ty'Lee's back. Ty'lee turns to her. "Don't do that, you'll get me into trouble," she chuckles.
Katara hurriedly signs an apology.
"I don't know sign language but It's a good thing you can't speak." Katara cocks her head in confusion. "You can't scream, maybe you'll last longer." Ty'lee laughs.
