` Zuko

Beads of sweat fell from my forehead down my face and from my chest to my waist. Though the beads were cold I couldn't get my body temperature to go down. I did not want anyone to see the look of fear I knew was on my face. Slipping away from the others into the cover of night where I would be safe to think on my own. Ever since the night of the 'accident' I would awake in the night covered in sweat only just escaping my eternal Hell. Each time the flames seemed to get higher, covering more and more of my body. Even worse than this, I swore to every spirit around that the pain was real, I could feel it. My skin peeling away from my muscle and, my muscle from my bone. I could hear my fathers ripping laugh as he watched me writhe in pain. I did not fear my in life, but my worst was burning alive. What a terrible time to be a fire bender. Refusing to return to my pallet, I sat feeling the wind swirl around me making me shiver, silent tears slipping down my cheeks.

Sobbing quietly into my pillow I relived the horror of my dream. It wasn't just Aang that had to face the Fire Lord, it was all of us. My father had already been taken to prison and I haven't seen him since. All I had left now was Sokka, who insisted on helping end the war. But from what I saw in my dream, neither him nor dad would be returning to the southern water tribe. My father was taken from the boiling rock to the fire lords personal cell's below the palace. Tortured for weeks and finally killed. Azula was the one to take down Sokka while we were distracted taking out Ozai. By the time we had helped Aang finish his job we were too late. Rigor mortis had already set in and his body was stuck in an almost all the ribs were broken and blood was seeping out of his mouth. My worst nightmare was now a reality. I was the end of my family line. My friends were here but they weren't the same. I thought losing my mother was hard enough but not dad and Sokka too. I laid there in the dark sobbing alone knowing it wasn't true, but it could easily become my reality.
