I have a past too

As Zuko sat in the crystal prison deep in thought about what Azula had said, he suddenly heard a noise, a girl's voice. "Let me go you weirdoes! Uhhhh unhand me!!!" the girl screamed as she fell into the prison. Zuko looked up and saw that she had long brown hair

"Katara?" he said looking up hopefully. The girl turned around and looked puzzled.

"Who?" She asked.

"Um, no one" he replied and examined her fully; she looked more like an earth bender now. He was sure she was an earth bender, he could tell by her stance. "Hey, if you're an earth bender, then why can't you break these crystals and escape?" He questioned. At this, she exploded…..

"AN EARTH BENDER, AN EARTH BENDER, HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT!!" She screamed as flames burst from her fists "I COULD NEVER BE AN EARTHBENDER, YOU INSENSITIVE FREAK!" She continued now covered in fire. Zuko backed away, too weak to fight,

"What, what, but you look like one..." he mumbled, just not quiet enough.

"URHHHH, THAT'S NOT MY FAULT!" She yelled blasting fire balls at him furiously; he blocked them with his arm and fell backwards as she calmed down. "Sorry" he groaned angrily and turned back to his bubble of thought.

"Hey, I know you" she said out of the silence

"You do" he said sadly as he remembered his infamy of being the banished prince.

"Yes, I have always thought that you were so brave, the way you stood up to the fire lord" she said quietly

"You do!" he said proudly as he looked up at her, she had a small scar on her chin, and looked very miserable. Quickly he looked away, trying to get back to what Azula had said, but he couldn't get his mind off her.

"I know what your thinking" she mumbled eventually, "you want to know how I ended up a fire bender that looks like an earth bender, well, it's because, my mum was a fire bender and my papa was an earth bender, a horrible beast of a man, he beat my mum for being fire nation! He beat me as well after he found out I was a fire bender, he always had hoped, I would be a champion earth bender" she paused, and then laughed, "Fat chance now! Anyway, he eventually got so mad at my mum, he, he killed her, she had something about her mother being ill in Ozaitopolus and he just lashed out, she didn't have time to defend herself, in an instant, she was gone." She looked down as if remembering it in her mind and a tear ran down her cheek, "I could have helped her but….."

Zuko could see she was very upset and was making him feel worse so decided to stop her, "I know what you are going through, I lost my mother as well, but I don't know how or why, one night, she was gone, she came to my bed and told me not to worry, that everything she had done, she had done to protect me and…the next morning, she was, gone." He looked at her and could see that she was taken back and embarrassed.

"Oh", she paused, "
