Naomi: A Fire Nation Airbender
By silver-nightstorm
Summary: I was born into the highest possible society rank, daughter of a general. I had everything I wanted; riches, clothes, fame, friends, even the friendship of Prince Zuko. But I also had a secret: I'm an Airbender.
Chapter 1: The Runaway…
I streaked through the fire nation port, running full-speed, not daring to look back and see if they were following me, the guards. I had been so stupid, I accidentally Airbended when I sneezed. And I think that even Fire Nation guards understand that you normally don't fly ten feet into the air. How stupid could I get? I had run away from home a few days ago because I had found out a terrible secret, a secret about my mother.
I'm Naomi. I'm fourteen years old and I have lived with my father, a Fire Nation general, all my life. When I was nine years old, a month after Prince Zuko was banished, I discovered something. I could Airbend. I was climbing trees like I liked to do, but I lost my footing and slipped when I was about twenty feet from the ground. But instead of falling, I kinda floated down. When I told my father, he was horrified and forbade me to ever Airbend ever again. But it was so fun and I couldn't help it, I taught myself how to Airbend, but I learned by watching Firebenders, so my style is kinda funny.
But a week ago, I overheard my father talking about my mother. He said that he didn't have to kill her if she wasn't an Airbender! Horrified, I left immediately to look for the Avatar. I was going to join him and get my revenge on my father for what he did!
So here I was, in the middle of the Fire Nation, running for my life. I rounded a corned and slam! I ran headfirst into a cloaked figure. "What?"
"Please! Just don't say anything!" I whispered, "Guards…chasing…me…"
We stood in silence, watching the guards go by, completely oblivious. After about five minutes, I spoke, "Thank god they didn't find me!"
"Why didn't you want to be found?" asked the figure.
"I… hey! Why do I need to tell you?" I shrieked.
"You can trust me… Naomi," the figure lifted his hood, revealing gold eyes, and an angry red scar.
"Z-Zuko?" I gasped.
