I saw my mother get on a ship bound for the Earth Kingdom, never allowed to return to her home Nation. She looked at me. "You're a disgrace to your blood line." Her words seemed to echo in my ears. My vision flashed through every time she had said that to me.

My eyes flew open, I was sweating, a dream only a dream. I kept telling myself. I hugged me knees, rocking back and forth. I opened the curtains, relived to see daylight. I got dressed and sat I thought about my mom. Here I was, the daughter of a traitor, alone. I thought about the fact that the Earth Kingdom had waged war on us. I heard the blow horn announcing an invasion. I rushed to the window. I saw a girl running in front of an entire Army, they broke through the gates. I stared at them as they flooded the main courtyard. I saw someone I knew, he wasn't Earth Kingdom, and he was Water Tribe! He was the son of the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe. His name was Seth. My door opened and I saw a guard.

"Princess, Fire Lord Zuko sent me to protect you." I nodded and he closed the door and stood by it. I closed the curtains.

"Why did they even proclaim war?" I inquired.

"They say we still have prisoners from the previous war." He explained.

"Idiots." I muttered. I stood there as the door bust open. The guard attempted to keep the attacker out, but fell to the ground, dead. I took a step back, not looking at the attacker, but at the lifeless body.

"Prepare to die, girl." The voice said I recognized it, to my horror. As the footsteps came closer, I couldn't look; I just closed my eyes, and turned my head. "Afraid to fight back?" the voice laughed. "Fine by me, I don't care what happens to anyone in the Fire nation." The words stung me. I felt a cold blade press against my throat. My life flashes before my closed eyes and I opened them. I looked at the wielder of the knife, and my fears were realized.

"Azai." He voice was scarce. We stood there. I was silent. A figure entered.

"Seth! Hurry up and kill her, Azula wouldn't want her!' the person said.

"I can't." he said. The knife fell to the floor.

"What? You have the highest kill list; will Azula be happy when she knows you wouldn't kill a girl?"

"I want to talk to Azula." I said.

"Sorry, she only wants to see members of the Royal Family." The person said.

"Point?" I asked.

"You can't see her."

"I am a member of the Royal Family, but I thought you already knew that." I said.

"Yeah, right, whatever, Azula can kill you herself." I followed the girl to the harbor and onto a ship.

We went to a door and knocked.

"Come in." I heard her voice.

"Azula, this girl claims she is part of the Royal Family." I walked into the room. I saw Azula, facing the wall. She turned and looked at me.

"Do I know you?" she asked.

"Maybe you'd remember if you hadn't tried to kill you brother 5 years ago!" I said.

"How do you know that's what I tried to do? Only the council knew that.' She said, narrowing her eyes.

"Zuko told me, because I was hurt and confused when you left. Even if you called me a disgrace, I was still hurt by your leaving!" I yelled.

"Azai?" she said, stunned.

"Yeah, it's me." I said. She stared at me and were stood there, waiting for the other to say something.
