The war ended 3 years ago, and things have changed so fast. This story is about a girl who once failed, A story of a girl who struggles to see the light. Will she be able put all back the pieces of her once broken life? Will she ever be happy? And will her life be ever right?

Set 3 years after the war. Azula was set free from the asylum after 2 years and decided to live her own life somewhere in the Fire Nation.

I was awakened by the bright rays of the sun as they soon start hitting my eyes, so I slowly opened them and stood up. I looked at the clock and I'm almost late for work, again. I quickly hit my closets and wore some casual clothes, then I looked on the calendar and realized it was Sunday, which means there is no work for today…

I sighed and realized how such a fool I was, so I wore back my usual clothes and just ate my breakfast.

It made me think, it's been a while since the war ended and I was put in the asylum because I went insane. Well, things had quite changed so lately….

I changed my whole identity, which means I changed my overall appearance, including my name. I now live very far away from the capital city. And I decided to live all by myself and told Zuko to stay away from me. People don't know who I really am, because I try to hide my real identity to everyone. You know, I'm just so tired of being hated and feared by people, maybe it's time to change…

Well, life's always unfair, there is always someone who's higher than you. There is always that someone who has everything you ever wanted in your life, that someone who is loved better and is more respected by the people than you do…

You may be thinking that I should take revenge to them, to Zuko, but I guess not… I'm so tired of falling, so tired of being such a failure, I give up. Now, I just want to have a peaceful mind and try to live the life I have never lived before… I want to put back the pieces and start all over again…

…

"Kia!" Shin cried out loud with both his hands cupped beside his mouth as he calls my name. I looked around the place and there I saw him standing afar, looking at me. "Shin!" I cried out loud as I wave my hands up high with a smile. He then runs towards me and hugged me tight.

"Ahhh… It's been a week, and I missed you a lot already…." He told me as we both sat down in a bench under a cherry blossom tree.

"Shin, I have something for you…" I said as I pulled out something from my handbag and handed it to him.

"A box?! You kidding me?!" he exclaimed jokingly.

"Open it, you silly!" I told him as my cheek starts to turn red.

"Wow! Nice bonnet! It makes me feel warm…" he exclaimed as he wore the bonnet on his head. "You knitted this by yourself?"

"Yeah, I couldn't believe it took me almost a month to finish the whole thing. I hope you like it…"

"Of course I do, thanks Kia…"

Shin is my boyfriend, and he's been my friend since the first time I moved, which means we've been friends for almost a year. He helps me with everything and makes me feel happy whenever I'm in the blue. I'm thankful to have him in my life. Although I still have the fear of him learning everything about my real identity, but when he does, I hope he accepts it…He asked me to be his girlfriend just a few months ago, and I'm happy he did…

…..

"Put me down!" I told him as I slap his back while he gives me a piggyback ride.

"No way…" he sang as he ran faster through the wide fields of snow

"But you know I'm not used to this…"

"Isn't fun?! Come on, you gotta like this!"

He then carried me up high to a sky just like a child which shocked me, then put me down carefully to the ground covered with snow. We both lied down onto the snow and look upon the dark blue sky filled with scattered luminous stars.

I tried to catch my breath, "Damn you, Shin… You almost killed me to death!"

He laughed, "Man, I'd never thought you were such a weenie, Kia…"

"Whatever you say…."

Then everything went silent, until I hear Shin doing something while we were lying on the ground. He was spreading both his arms and legs back forth, it was unfamiliar to me because it doesn't snow in the capital city where I used to live, but I guess it is something what most people do when it's winter.

So I sat up and asked him, "Hey whatcha' doing over there?"

"Naah, just making some snow angel… C'mon, try it!"

So I awkwardly lied down on the snow and started to do the same thing he does, it felt weird at first I have to say, but I think it's kinda like fun to me at least…

"C'mon, let's check out our snow angels!" he said as he stood up and looked onto what he did. I stood up too and checked it out.

"Wow, it's pretty amazing…" I told him as I looked on to the snow angels we made.

He then suddenly threw some snowballs at me and started to laugh out.

"Hey! What was that for?"

"C'mon! Snowball fight!" he shouted as he started to make more snowballs to throw at me.

I tried to make some of my own, but failed because I do not how to, though I think it's pretty easy to make one. So I just ran as he catches me and throws some several snowballs at me. But then I unknowingly tripped over because a root of some tree blocks the path, making me lye down flat onto the ground.

"Shin, watch out!" I warned him, but it was too late.

Then he tripped over me, and both our heads meet each other, like were about to do a kiss. And so he did, I was shocked and my eyes widened.

….

Shin decided to take me home after we ate dinner in some restaurant just near to where I live. And so we walked along until we got to my apartment.

And when we got there, it was a big shock that someone stood by my front door… It was Zuko…

Shin decided to bow down, and I tried to, so that he still wouldn't know about me…

"Oh, what are you doing here…? Your highness…" I asked Zuko awkwardly.

"Azula, I was just wondering how you are doing…"

"Wait?! What do you mean, Fire Lord Zuko? Did you say… Azula?" Shin asked curiously.

"Yeah, she is my sister… Is there something wrong in what I said?" Zuko answered

Shin looked at me with anger. "Shin, please… I'm sorry I lied to you… But I'm not what you think of me… Please…" I apologized to him as tears were about to fall from my eyes.

He nodded with disapproval , "You still lied to me… You should've told me…" he told me soon and started to ran away. I looked to Zuko, "You ruined everything, Again!" I shouted at him and I start to catch up with Shin.

…

He runs to fast, but then he unconsciously drops the bonnet I knitted for him on the middle of the road. I quickly tried to get and save it as fast as I could, but then I saw a truck about to hit me, it was too late….

…

(Shin's POV)

I stopped, as I hear a loud sound coming from a truck's horn. I think something happened, so I looked back. Kia wasn't following or catching me anymore. But I saw some people gathered around in a circle, gasping, and also a truck which is stopped on the middle of a road. So then I ran to check it out.

I walked past through the crowds until I reach the front. And there was Kia lying down on the middle of the road, covered with blood. She was hit by the truck… I couldn't help but to cry, and I ran to her and she was holding the bonnet she gave me, which I unknowingly dropped over a while ago. I quickly took the bonnet she's holding and carried her to the hospital as fast as I could.

Many tears were falling, how such a fool I was! It was all my fault! I should've understood how much she loved me , even though she hid her identity from me, even though she lied. I should've trusted her and this wouldn't happen… I was weak…

She was taken in to the emergency room, the doctor said she was in a critical condition.

I quickly find Fire Lord Zuko as fast as I could and told him everything what happened.

He then walked away and continued to go to the hospital, while I stood up on the aisle with pain still holding tight onto the bonnet Kia gave me. I didn't follow Zuko anymore, I just can't stand seeing Kia like that. I can't believe how things went, I can't believe what I've done.

…..

(Zuko's POV)

I quickly ran to my Azula's room inside the hospital, the operation was done already. So I asked the doctor about her condition, "She have lost a lot of blood from her body. And due to the impact, she might suffer from amnesia and other sicknesses that pertains to the head… She have lots of bruises and wounds all around her body that needs to be treated well… But she's in a somewhat good condition right now…" the doctor explained and soon left.

(Flashback)

"It's unfair! You're the one who is always unfair! Since when we were kids! Mom loved you truly, and she didn't do the same to me. You were jealous of me because you think dad loves me and he doesn't love you! But no, he didn't love me… He just used me a weapon or just like a tool… No one ever loved me, Zuko…" she looked down and tears were soon falling from her golden amber eyes…

"My friends, they were never real… I controlled them through fear…" she sighed.

"Now let's talk about our failures… It's good you have companions with you when father ordered you to catch the avatar, You have uncle beside you when you failed… The avatar and his friends, they are your real friends… Aren't they? Good for you, Zuzu… When I fell, no one is there to catch me… Was your firebending taken away when you were banished by father? No. But when I did, It was taken away… Well, everything was taken all away from me… I'm now all alone by myself, my life is ruined… And thanks to you…" everything she said was right…

"Now tell me, who is the one who's unfair?"

It's time to change everything between us two. We are siblings, therefore, things shouldn't be this way. We'll both start anew… From now on, I'll look after her… I'll be protecting her…
