I just got into watching last air bender again and so I will try my best to give y'all a good story. Also, I had hoped to get a new laptop for Christmas. I did but it's not a I had hoped. It won't let me type in note book so I am force to type on my iPhone so I apologize for any mistakes. I'll try to catch them.

Chapter 1: Rememberence.

(FIRST PERSON POV)

I put a hand over my mouth as I coughed for the fifth time in the last two minutes. With the other hand, I lightly trailed the wall with my fingertips following the path to the market. This cold weather was getting to me again. I stopped and readjusted the strap I used to carry my guitar on my shoulder. The wind blew off the hood of my black cape and I immediately put it back on pulling the ends down low enough to keep anyone from seeing the piece of white cloth I have over my eyes.

It has been 7 years since I became this way. Vulnerable, disadvantaged, blind. I once had bright blue eyes that loved to gaze up at the sun and sky as my family sang and danced. I remember how they live music. We became nomads when I was young. Wanting to avoid the growing war, we fleed the area that the fire nation had most control over. It's own people.

It was by far the gravest mistake we could ever make. We were caught when they began to take control of the earth kingdom. I heard that they had almost fully taken over Ba Sing Se. As soon a we heard the soldiers had entered the city I wanted to leave. But, my mother was too sick and my older brother begged me to stay and that when everything changed. Once we were found out, it came to attention that my brother was signed to become part of the army. Naturally he refused. That was our downfall.

We were dragged back into the hut we were staying in at the time and it was set on fire. The last thing I saw was when I looked up to see a heavy piece of burning wood come crashing down on my face. The blunt force caused trauma to my eyes while I suffered burns around both my eyes and across the bridge of my i can still hear their shrieks along with my own still ringing in my ears. I wear this cloth so I won't scare anyone and so that I won't be recognized.

This was all I ever needed. A small remote village and a guitar. I play music to the public for money because no one wants to hire a blind girl. I always heard the whispers. Better I be know as the "One without sight" than have anybody discover I too was a firebender.

Zuko

Zuko followed his uncle through the crowd. He noticed his hair not only grew back, but that it had gotten a little long. He sighed and ran a hand through it, keeping his head down to go on unnoticed. Iero went on and on about how nice it would be to have a nice cup of Jasmine tea. Zuko just wanted a decent meal and a cup of water. His stomach grumbled when he let his mind wanderlingo a daydream of his favorite foods.

"Oh look Zuko, a street performer." Iero chimed.

"yea." Zuko spoke up." that's great, can we please focus on finding some food as shelter first before we admire the entertainment?"

"What is wrong my nephew?" the older man said cluelessly.

"Look Uncle, I'm hungry and tired and we've been walking for hours."

" Oh Zuko." The man sulked." Just one song?"

Before Zuko could scold his uncle again he heard the soft strumming of a guitar and finaly looked at the performer. She had a black cape on and her hood covered her face enough to only reveal her face from the tip of her nose to her chin. She looked young and that was proven when a soft voice began to sing.

"I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, I'll never let you go

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight.

"Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound."

"Listen Zuko, that is the voice of a beautiful woman I can tell." he chuckled.

But the prince wasn't listening. He had closed his eyes and was lost in his memories. He remembered how his mother used to sing to him. A few tears cascaded down his face before he could stop them.

(BACK TO FIRST PERSON POV)

"Don't you dare look out your window

darling everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold onto this lullaby

Even when the music's gone."

I almost chuckled to myself when I realized that remembering my past had chosen my song for me this time. I smiled as I kept going and heard an older man talking to someone one that had gone back to scolding him. A deep voice I recognized as a young man's voice.

"Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound.

"Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light,

You and I'll be safe and sound..."

So... How'd you like it? I'll reveal her name in the next chapter. I used the song " Safe & Sound" by Taylor Swift. I'm just hoping that maybe some one will like this story enough to review or put it on alert. So please do if you like this story enough so far. Thank you.
