A/N Hey guys, just an FYI. I'm re-writing this story, I don't like my charters or Zuko's behavior in the beginning, and some parts are a little…"out of line" and there are just a lot of problems I have in the beginning, Including Grammar. So I am looking for a beta reader if anyone could help me. Thanks -Shay

Living in the Northern Water Tribe wasn't terrible…It was a living hell. Everyone looked the same, walked the same even talked the same. Everyone except me. I was completely different.

Everyone had brown hair in some extravagant fashion, blue eyes and a slight tan. I on the other hand I had jet black hair in a simple braid that reached down to hips, amber eyes and I was so pale I practically blend in with the snow.

So you would think I would try to lay low, not draw attention to myself. I tried but it's kind of hard, considering my family. I have a dad, younger sister, no mom, seems pretty normal but my father is chief of the northern water tribe, making me and my sister princess of it…so everyone did kind of know me.

So I was sitting in my room, just getting back from a birthday party my father was throwing for my sister, Yue, it was her sixteenth birthday so she is officially of marrying age. Last year was my sixteenth birthday, and I just turned seventeen so am suppose to be married by now but as you can most likely guess…I'm not.

I am the oldest child in my family so I am the next to take the throne but my father refuses to let me do so, without a husband. But I don't think I'm right to take over my tribe…

"Kya," I turn around to see Yue walking into my room then sitting on my bed. She looks slightly sad.

"What's wrong?"

"Hahn proposed." Hahn has been her boyfriend for a while; this isn't how I would expect her to tell me that they're engaged.

"What's wrong with that? I thought you'd be happy." As soon as I say that she starts crying right into my shoulder. Crap.

"I don't want to marry him." She was staining my dress with her tears. I was dumbfounded when she said that, they were perfect for each other. Yue was crazily in love with him and he was just plain crazy.

"There's someone else." It hit me, that's the only way she wouldn't want marry Hahn. She shot up and looked at me then started crying harder. Once again, Crap.

"I meet him tonight. He's from our sister tribe, travelling with avatar." I do remember seeing her talking a young boy with a ponytail.

"Look, if you don't want to marry Hahn, don't."

"Kya, I have duty to father, to our people. Just because you don't care about the tribe, doesn't me I don't." She stormed out of my room.

Well that was a real blow in the chest. I wanted to go back and tell her off but before I could even leave the room one of my fathers' servants walk in.

"Your father would like to see you princess." He bowed then left.

I walked down the halls to my father's throne room. I saw him sitting there with a very awkward looking boy standing to his left.

"You wanted to see me father?"

"Have you found a husband?" That was blunt.

"No sir." I said slightly looking down.

"How on earth do you expect to run this tribe without a husband? Why can't you be more like Yue!?" It was impossible to count how many times I have been told that.

"Father, why not just let Yue run the tribe! You and I both know she would be better for this tribe!"

"And break hundreds of years of tradition!"

I was getting sick of this. "Is this why you called me hear?" He stiffened.

"Kya, I want you to meet Sangok." I've seen around the tribe but never really talked to him. "He's a young waterbending in our tribe." Great. Another bender, I'm not a waterbender so when people start talking about it saying how it's some way out ancestors connect with us all I can respond is with a slight nod of my head.

"I want you to get to know him because by this time next week, you will be married."

"Wait! What! Father! You-You can't do this!"

"I'm sorry Kya. Guards take Kya and Sangok to her room."

"I can take myself." I start walk but don't hear the sound of Sangok foot steps behind me. I turn around to see him still standing there with an idiotic grin. "Are you coming?" He runs to me.

I walked out of the throne room, and to my room.

"Ok look," I start. "I sleep there you sleep there." I said gesturing into the couch in the corner of my room. "You don't touch me, don't look at me when I am changing, and don't mention our engagement to anyone. If you fallow those rules, we'll be cool. Ok, ok."

I walked over to my bed and took of the robe I was wearing. Expecting that I was sleeping alone tonight I was wearing a mid-thigh length silk blue night gown. I get into my bed and I start to close my eyes. But then I feel someone get into bed with me they shot open. Damn how dense can this dude be? Oh well I guess I got to get used to it…
