I woke up, and I could barely remember a thing… I don't know where I am right now or even don't know who I am… What happened? Why can't I remember a thing? What is wrong with me?

I suddenly stood up from the bed and wandered myself through the room, but then someone suddenly came inside. It was a guy with a scar on his left eye, dressed in a crimson robe and wearing a crown on his head, he must be a king or something.

"Who are you…?" I asked him, my mind was puzzled.

"I'm Zuko, your brother…" he replied with a slight smile. "Are you feeling better…?" he asked as he placed his hands over my shoulders.

"Where am I and why can't I remember a thing? Who am I?" I asked him emotionlessly.

He placed his hands on my shoulders and looked onto my eyes directly, "You are Azula, sister… You might be suffering from amnesia right now, but I promise to you that everything will soon be alright… I promise…"

I looked down…I didn't utter a single word to him and just shed a tear without any reason. I feel so different, I sort of feel empty inside… It's like something is missing….

He hugged me, "Don't worry, everything will be fine… I'll help you regain your memory…"

….

(Shin's POV)

It's been a while, and I haven't seen Kia for days… I wonder how she's doing right now… And I wonder if she could ever forgive me for what I have done to her. I wish neither of these things ever did happen… I wish she's here with me right now.

Sooner I went to her place, and brought some bouquet of roses with me. I was excited to see her, so excited to know how she is right now… Then I knocked on her door with a big smile, but there was no answer. I noticed the door isn't locked, so I decided to open it and go inside….

"Kia?!" I called her name out loud, "Kia, it's me! Shin!" still, no one answers.

Then I tried to check if she was in her room, but she wasn't there… Where could she be? Is she still in the hospital? So I quickly ran downstairs and was about to go to the hospital so that I could check if she was still in there, but someone stopped me.

"Are you looking for the young lady who used to live here?" a middle aged woman asked me while I was still in the living room. 'used to live here?' What does she mean? Did Kia moved out already? Was she taken back to the palace by her brother?

"Yes I am…" I just simply answered her question.

"I'm very sorry my dear, but she was taken by her brother back to the capital city where they really use to live… And her brother said she will never come back… Who are you by the way?" I was right… I dropped the bouquet of flowers and tears were soon about to fall.

"I…I…I'm her boyfriend…" I stuttered as I sat helplessly onto the floor, crying… "I'm very sorry to hear about that…" the middle aged woman apologized to me and soon left me alone inside Kia's house, sitting on the floor, crying.

How could I let this happen? Should I give up? Should I search for her in the capital city, sure she is easy to find but… Why did she leave me alone without telling me? How things could change this fast? It's like just in a blink of an eye, everything I used to have before were all gone.

…..

(Zuko's POV)

I guarded her around till she fell asleep. I remember those days when I used to hate her so much, those tragic days when the hundred year war used to drift us apart. I was supposed to protect her and act as her elder brother, but I didn't because of hatred and jealousy. I sure know she doesn't need me to be there for her, or to protect and be her elder brother. But it'll sure be good to know if she had one.

And why am I supposed to be jealous of her? Father didn't even love her, she was only used as a weapon in the war. She wasn't loved by anybody else… Her friends betrayed her… And look what the war has brought her into? She went insane… If I was there for her, or if father hadn't ruined our family, everything would be alright.

Now, I'll make things right for her… I'll do my best. From now on, I'll be her elder brother. I'll be always there for her and I'll be protecting her.

I'll make her live the kind of life she had never lived before, I'll make her happy for once. Actually, I already have plans for her. I'll make her finish her studies first at the Fire Nation Royal University for Girls, and then I'll be making her as my key advisor. Things will turn out fine soon, and I'll be in every step of the way.

I kissed her in the forehead, half smiling and soon left her alone in her room.

…

(Next Day) (Azula's POV)

I awakened by a knock on the door, it was my brother's voice calling my name. "Azula, come downstairs for breakfast." He told me. I stood up in a drowsily manner and started to brush my hair in front of the mirror. Then I braided my hair and soon went to the bathroom to freshen up my face and to brush my teeth. I opened the door knob and walked through the hallway…

I suddenly forgot, where am I supposed to go? I don't know this place… So I decided to search somebody for directions… I wandered my eyes through the whole area, then I quickly saw a line of servants near the stairs. I approached them.

"Excuse me… Do you know where the dining area is?" I asked them politely with a bow.

"Uh, go straight and then turn to the left… Princess…" a servant answered with a terrified-looking face. What's wrong, did I scare them? And what did she say? Princess? I'm a princess?

"Wait, did you say 'princess'? I'm a princess?" I asked them one more time just to make sure… They all looked confused and kept whispering to each other.

"Yes, princess…" one answered with her head held down. What is definitely wrong with me? It's like they fear me… But anyways, I just replied them with a bow and thanked them politely. I soon left for breakfast.

….

When I arrived to the dining room, there were a couple of people gathered and sitting around the table. I didn't know them all, except for my brother who is sitting right next to a tan-skinned, blue-eyed girl who gives me an evil stare. Yeah, everyone seems to stare at me like she does... Except for Zuko and this big-eyed, cheerfully-looking girl… What seems to be wrong? My mind starts to get puzzled, have I done something wrong in the past?

"Oh Azula, come join us…" Zuko told me. I sat down beside this blue-eyed guy dressed in a blue warrior suit. I was shy, since I didn't know any of them…

"Are you feeling better now?" Zuko asked me.

"Uh, yes…" I simply answered politely with a slight smile… "So, who are these people?" I asked Zuko.

"What did you say? You don't know us?!" the blue-eyed, tan-skinned lady sitting next to Zuko exclaimed.

"Katara… Calm down…" Zuko called her name and touched her shoulder with his right hand as he tries to keep her calm.

"Everyone, as you all know, this is my sister, Azula… She is currently suffering from amnesia right now, so please don't make things hard for her… And I promise everything's gonna be just fine…" Zuko told to everyone as he introduced me first.

"Amnesia?! Did you say amnesia?! Or maybe this girl just pretends to have amnesia so she could fool us and get her revenge!" Katara exclaimed with anger, but why is she saying bad things about me? It's like she hates me….

"Katara, I saw the whole thing! I saw how severely injured she was when she got hit by a truck! She lost 40% of her blood and I really had a bad time finding some blood donors! And you say she's pretending to have amnesia?!" Zuko told Katara with extreme rage. I'm getting so confused now that it hurts my head a lot! I covered both my ears with my hands, trying not to hear every single word they say… Tears soon uncontrollably fell down from my eyes… I just pretend it's all a bad dream, then soon I will wake up and have my memory back.

"Guys, please stop acting mean to her! I know you all know everything my sister has been through! And she's been conquering lots of problems in the past… But I wasn't there for her when those problems came… When she fell, I wasn't there to catch her… Now, I'm gonna make things right for her… I'm gonna change her life and make her happy for once… And I need all your help, please…" Zuko begged which brought silence to whole area. I looked up to him and wiped all my tears away.

He stood up from his place and gave me hug with many tears falling from his eyes. "Zuko…" I whispered to him…. "I need to go…" I told him as I shove both his hands away from me and ran back to my room.

…

I sat on a couch facing the window. I looked very far away as I plunge into my deep thoughts. I ask myself often about my real identity… Will I ever know everything about my past? Or will I just need to face the consequence that I will become a whole new person?

Those people a while ago, why are they so mad me? I have done nothing wrong didn't I? Or maybe it's about my past that makes them act like that towards me….

How about my parents? Where are they? Do I even have one right now? Or are they dead already? There are a whole lot of things that I have to know and should know… I just hope that I could soon regain back my memory…

…

Someone suddenly opened the door, it was the water tribe boy whom I sat beside with a while ago…

"Why are you here?" I asked

"Nah, I just came here to apologize for my sister's actions a while ago... She was being such a bitch…" he told me as he sat down on the couch beside me.

I smiled at him, "It's fine… Maybe it's has something to do in the past that makes her act like that towards me…" I told him.

…

An on that day, we chatted about lots of things, and ewe soon ended up being good friends. Zuko told me that he will send me to some university next week to pursue my studies and be his key advisor in the near future, and I fully agreed to that. Things are quite getting better, and I hope everything will soon be fine…

…..

I'll be posting more chapters soon… If you don't understand the story, I'll be giving the whole summary for chapters 1 and 2… This story is about Azula living anew after the hundred-year war. She changed everything about herself, including her name which was changed into 'Kia'. She soon gets a new friend, named Shin, which soon later turned out to be her boyfriend. Everything was perfect and alright, until Zuko interrupts on one night which makes Shin learns that Kia was Azula. Shin went angry and ran away, Azula catches up, but soon gets hit by a truck.

Due to the accident, Azula gets amnesia and was taken aback by her brother to the capital city, changing her life and making her happy once and for all. The two lovers were drifted apart without even saying goodbye to each other, will the two ever see each other again?

Okay, this story is somehow based on a Korean Drama called "Stairway to Heaven" excluding the stepmother and stepsister part, of course. Uhh, sorry for some grammatical errors, if there are any. I'm not that good in English since I'm Asian and only 13 years old in age. But I do hope you like the concept of the story.
