Okay, this is my first chapter of my first fanfic. If nobody likes it, I'll delete it because it's kinda emo and strange. So please let me know how you feel about it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar the Last Airbender, so please don't kill me.

Through gritted teeth, I sent barely the tips of my fingers ablaze. Very few understand how hard it is to control fire like this. However, I know it's worth it. The meeting, Azula, the anger in my father's eyes, it was all too much to bear. I can't take it. I ca't take it! I almost send a tongue of flame, lashing out towards the barren wall. You're not like that anymore. You must have discipline, control. You're back home. Isn't this what you've always wanted? The look on Uncle's face throws my mind into a bottomless pit. Such despair, such disappointment. Tears threaten to spill over. You're not the traitor, he is. Keep control, just keep control. Yet, all I needed was release. My soul begged for release. I must grant it.
The tips of my fingers trace my scar, leaving the smell of burning flesh in their wake. My eyes slam closed, a groan in pain escapes my throat, but nothing more. Trembles engulf my body. I'm losing control. Yet, that is what I crave. The full loss of control. My fingers jerk away, for I can no longer stand it. Pride overwhelms me. I have found release, without destruction.
The mirror reflects my handiwork. You can hardly tell. The flesh is so scarred, what harm can more scarring do? A smile graces my lips, but I soon regret it for the pain that accompanies it. But, the pain offers more release. I contort my face until there is so much pain, so much pain, that pure exhaustion envelopes me in its arms, bring sweet, sweet sleep.

This is my first chapter of my first fanfic, but I won't mind flames. Also, I know most people won't like this for its "emo flair" but I had the idea, and couldn't help typing it up. Please, please, please read and review, even if you hate it. Just tell me why. Thank you soooooooooooo much!!!
