I don't know how this idea came into my head, but I hope it's good! I was supposed to be studying for an exam instead of doing this...it's based on Ty Lee (obviously from the title) so I hope you enjoy it!

Azula, Mai and Ty Lee stepped off of the metal fire nation ship and onto the wooden docks of a small earth kingdom town. Azula had a sadistic smile on her face as she noticed all of the peasants staring in horror at her. Just the way she liked it. Mai stared around at the boring, dirty town and wondered if anything would amuse her here; she highly doubted it. Ty Lee was oblivious to the scared faces of the villagers and was enjoying the beauty of the mountains ahead.
Azula hated speaking to people so beneath her, but she was desperate. "Where is the Avatar?" said Azula in a steady, frightening tone. Nobody answered her question, the only sound that could be heard was the water crashing against the wooden posts of the docks. "Do I have to ask again?" Azula said this with a little more agression and impatience. Her anger turned into an expression of happiness as she stepped closer to a mother and her young daughter. The girl grasped her mothers leg tighter as Azula approached, her eyes filled with fear.
Suddenly, Azula pulled the girl away from her mother and bent down to her level, her arm around the girl's neck. "NO!" screamed the mother, as two fire nation soldiers held her back. A small fire began to grow on Azula's finger.
"Tell me where the Avatar is and the girl won't get hurt" said Azula. Ty Lee saw the pain in the mother's eyes and the tears in the little girl's. She felt for them.
"Are you sure this is the right thing to do, Azula?" questioned Ty Lee.
Her head whipped around to face Ty Lee. "Are you questioning me?" said the infuriated Azula. Ty Lee hated seeing Azula angry, even more than the little girl crying.
"No, I'm sorry Azula," Said a solemn Ty Lee. A smile came across her face. "What was I thinking? It's the only way."
Azula nodded and turned back to the villagers. "Now, where is he?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was silent. Ty Lee looked across the dark room to see Azula and Mai sleeping peacefully in their beds. What was wrong with her? She never questioned Azula's actions, so why was this so different? It was the fear in the villager's eyes. So much pain was caused by Azula, that's why she was questioning her.
Ty Lee was thinking about the little girl, she was burned. She had to hold back from saying anything to Azula about it; she didn't want to get hurt either. A feeling of disgust came over Ty Lee, just thinking about what Azula was doing to people. She had never felt this towards her before, so why now?
She decided she couldn't handle this any longer. How long would it be before she spoke out against Azula again? Ty Lee didn't want to take that chance. She began to quietly walk out of the room, wondering if she'd ever return. She realized something, Azula would find her if she ran away.
Ty Lee walked back into the room and found one of Mai's knives. She held the blade to her arm and let the blood fall to the floor, biting her lip to fight back tears. Hopefully this would lead them to think she was captured, or dead. Ty Lee wiped the blade on her pants to remove the blood and placed the knife down where she found it. She took one last look at Azula and Mai and left their room, for the last time.
Ty Lee quietly crept past the sleeping guards on Azula's ship. She knew they would be in trouble when Azula finds out she's missing. Ty Lee balanced along the edge of the ship, silently and effortlessly diving into the water.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Azula woke up, she could sense something wasn't right. She looked across the room to see Mai still sleeping and turned to where she thought Ty Lee would be. She was gone. Azula walked over to the bundle of crumpled sheets on Ty Lee's bed and found a drop of blood. Her eyes widened as she followed the trail; it stopped in the middle of the room.
Azula stood next to Mai's sleeping figure. "Ty Lee is missing." There were no signs of weakness or worry in her voice. "Mai!" yelled Azula impatiently. Mai's eyes opened to find Azula standing over her. This is going to be an interesting day, she thought to herself.
"Ty Lee might be captured." Azula said matter-of-factly. Mai just nodded and got up. They both changed and started to walk out of their room, coming across the two guards standing tall outside the entrance to their chamber. They bowed quickly as Azula turned to face them.
"Tell me guards; did you notice any strange behavior last night?" asked Azula.
"No princess, no one has come in or out of this area all night." one of the guards said with a hint of fear in his voice. Azula noticed his fear and took advantage of it.
"I think you might be wrong. Ty Lee is missing." The fear in both of the guard's eyes became more noticeable as Azula said this. "Leave my ship, and never come back. You have dishonored yourselves and me by letting this happen." said Azula with anger in her voice.
"Yes princess." said the ex-soldiers in unison.
Azula faced Mai, "We will continue our quest to find the Avatar." Although Mai found this painful to leave Ty Lee behind, she just nodded and followed Azula to the captain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ty Lee swam towards the little cove away from the fire nation ship. "This will have to do for now." she said to herself. She sat up on the rock overlooking the glistening water created by the new-found sun. Azula's ship was in view, and it looked like it was moving. Ty Lee's heart stopped as she thought the ship was coming towards her. She was as good as dead now.
She sighed deeply as she realized the ship started to turn in the other direction. It was cold in the shaded cove, so Ty Lee held herself to find warmth while watching the ship disappear into the distance. All she ever knew, all she ever was, was leaving. Ty Lee began to sob as she thought about her old life. If she ever went back…she just couldn't. As she took a deep breath in and out, Ty Lee let go of her past. She wasn't Ty Lee anymore, she was nobody.
