I stared at the night sky, trying to count the billions of stars. Unfortunately, I always lost count. I felt like I was being swallowed up into the darkness but there was a little bit of light, a little bit of hope, peeking through. It was such a beautiful sight that could be stared at for hours and hours without getting bored or losing the excitement it first had when you gazed at the small lights. It made me feel safe but small and helpless at the same time.

I slowly rose from my spot and walked back to my camp. I pulled out my sleeping bag and unrolled it. After putting out the fire I was left with the big silver coin lighting up the dark sky and it's many children helping it with the little light they shed on the earth.

I drifted into a soft sleep. I dreamt of a large ship floating among the waves. I watched a huge wave get ready to swallow the ship whole, showing no mercy. I watched the men try to escape but found no way to get away from their terrible fate.

I heard a scream and bolted upright. I was covered in cold sweat and my long, light brown hair was sticking to my neck. I looked around searching for the source of the scream but found nothing. The sun was rising and I had no time to lose. The unfortunate thing about my dreams is they almost always come true.

I packed up camp and put away the food I had left. It was enough to last me a couple of days but for other people it was probably enough to hold them for a couple of hours. I had always been very thin but must have lost weight during my journey. I was always on the tall side but not giant tall. I clear blue eyes that matched the color of the large, ruthless waves when I am angry or feels hate towards someone.

I began running towards the sea, sand flying up behind me. I looked for what I saw in my dream, a boat being swallowed by the sea. Then I saw a boat on a tranquil sea and decided not to worry but suddenly, like magic, a huge wave appeared behind the boat.

I started wading into the water and tried bending it so it would help me get there faster. Once I got close enough to the boat I made the water fling me up so I landed on the doomed ship.

I focused on the wave and tuned the scared yells of the many men out. I tried calming down the wave, which seemed to work at first but then it suddenly got bigger when a young man yelled at me. "Who are you and what are you doing on my ship!" he yelled at me as I tried to regain focus. "Answer me when I speak to you!" I glared at him and went back to calming the wave.

I finally got the wave to calm down but felt very tired so I fell to my knees. The last thing I saw before blacking out was the boy running over to me.

I woke up on a bed in a dark room. There was no window only a few candles for light. I heard footsteps come towards me. "Are you awake?" a soft voice asked. I looked for the owner and saw the boy standing at my side.

"Yeah." I managed to squeeze out. I tried to sit up but fell back down. He smiled at me and helped me up. I smiled back and whispered, "thank you."

"What's your name?" he asked in a soft voice. He sat down in a chair next to me and placed a pillow behind me to help me stay up. I was still very tired after calming that wave.

"It's Naida. What's yours?" I asked him pushing a stray hair out of my eyes.

"Zuko." he said flatly. "That was some pretty strong bending you did out there. Thank you for saving my ship by the way." he said sincerely. "How did you know we were in danger."

"You want the truth?" he nodded and I continued. "Well I dreamed that there was a ship about to be swallowed up by a huge wave so I went to the beach and checked for a ship. My dreams almost always come true." I finished. He paid close attention and seemed to be lost in thought.

"I'm glad you had that dream or I wouldn't be here now." he said. I looked around the room. I saw fire nation flags and other fire nation type things.

"Where is here?" I asked him after looking around the room. "How long have I been out? Why aren't there any windows in this room?"

"Hold you're flying bison!" he said laughing. "One at a time! Well, you're in my room on my ship, you have been out for a couple of hours, and there aren't any windows in the room because...well...honestly I don't know. I didn't build the ship so it wasn't my idea."

"Ok then. One last question." I said smiling. He looked at me and I noticed, for the first time, he had a big scar on his face and that he seemed to be missing an eyebrow.

"What's that?" he asked. He noticed her looking at his scar and looked away. "If it has anything to do with my face then I'm not answering." he said his voice getting rough.

"No that's not it! I was wondering when dinner is! I'm starved!" I said and laughed. ((A/N: You thought I was gonna have her ask about his scar! Haha! Food comes first!))

He laughed along with her and said, "Oh well actually we're having dinner in a few minutes! Care to join me?" he asked.

When I attempted to get up he chuckled. He offered one of his warm hands and helped me up. I held onto his hand tightly so I didn't lose my balance. He looked down and me and smiled. I returned the warm smile and we walked to dinner together.

A/N: This is my first Avatar fic so don't be too harsh. I think Zuko might have been a bit too nice... oh well. Please R&R! Thanks for reading! I'll only update if you review! (or my friend bugs me to update)
