Fire & Ice
A/N: Yet another Fu let that involves two of the more anguished characters in Avatar. This one is pretty self explanatory. Polar opposites attract, so what happens when they collide? Find out here.
Characters/Pairng: Jake S. & Grace A.
Disclaimer: Still nothing.
Opposing forces are supposed to neutralize aeach other, supposed to destroy each other. What I don't understand is why we don't. I am fire, burning out of control. I force myself to feel close to others, when all I end up doing is hurting them in the end. That's what I'm doing right now. The Omaticaya need a leader, but I know that I am no good for them. I breed betrayal, while in the same breath, I say that I want to be one of them. I burn, spread my poison through The People. The only consolation I have is that new life will be born from the ashes. I spark arguments, breed anger, and all I can feel is my pain; MY fucking pain! Why is it that I am so senseless and numb that I can't see anyone else's? I can't even feel hers.
She is all that I want to be, cold, collected, detatched by choice. She doesn't feel that rage. She doesn't project her pain on anyone else. She is the tranquilizer that I would kill to get my hands on. Unfortunately, I can't reach her. I can't feel anything around her. All I have is the smoke that remains after she passes by. She learned long ago that the need for closeness is killed when the people she cared about turned as cold as she is now. I need that coldness, that void.
Unfortunately, I know the price she paid. I know that she had the same fire that tears me apart on a daily basis. They took those flames and froze them . The RDA created their own enemy when the young hunters were killed. they made her immune to their isolative torture. They created a weapon that was their own undoing. I know what she wants. She doesn't want me to see and feel as she does, seeing herself distorted and broken, through a dark and icy mirror. She doesn't want me to feel her pain, invisible to outsiders, but tangible to her. She doesn't want me to freeze over; she wants me to wake up.
