Waking up, I looked around and saw I was in a dark cell. Where the hell am I? I thought. Then last night's events came flooding back. Shit, that bitch sold me out. Wait what am I thinking she did it for our tribe. Deep down I knew that was right but at the moment all I thought was that she back stabbed me.
"Argghh" I cried out to nobody, and I pulled at my hair. "shut up" said a gruff voice outside the door. Great they think I'm a bigger enough threat to have guards. I thought to myself sarcastically.
The door opened and in walked a man. Jumping up, I started backing up until I was against the wall. Shit I thought what if he wants to hurt me?.
"relax" the man in the dark cloak said. He sounded old about 40 or 50 at least. "I won't hurt you" he came right up to the cell and but down a tray of food I didn't notice him carrying and some clothes.
"Ho-ho-how do I know you didn't poison it?", the man just chuckled "you're here as a peace sign and you ask if I poisoned your food" the man just laughed again. "besides you would have already been dead now"
he turned to leave "wait" I called running to the bars "what day is it?" "the first day" he replied and left.
I have been here more than a week I thought to myself. Realising how hungry I was, I dug into the food. After I finished I drowned the water down, the water and the food were both drugged so I couldn't water bend. Bastard lied.Looking down at what I was wearing I saw my normal blue robe was covered in dirt.
Crap, I guess I will have to change. Quickly changing into a short black dress that looked like a little tight. Sliding it on it fitted perfectly. weirdI thought.
The door opened with a loud bang. "arghh" I screamed, jumping out of my skin.
The person marched in right up to the bars.
"mmm….. so you finally decided to wake up" the voice said. Wait, I know that voice it can't be.Stepping up to the bars I screamed and jumped back.
"ge-get a-away from me" I screamed at him. He lifted he's head and just smirked at me before opening the door.
He stepped in the cell, looking calm. "come here" he stated. I froze what was I supposed to do? Wait why should I listen to him.
I stood my ground "no" I replied and crossed my arms over my chest. Next thing I knew I was pinned up against the wall.
"Don't push my patience, Katara" he spat"you don't know what I'm capable of" he growled. That was it I lost it.
"what your capable of, what your capable of is taking girls away from their happiness, their joy and locking them up in a dungeon, to do god knows what with" I screamed in he's face and for good measure I spat I he's face.
growling he drop me. Good he got the message. He turned around too fast for me to realise what he was doing. Slap.Was the only sound heard.
I didn't want to show him, I was weak so I just stood their holding my cheek, with tears threatening over. "you asshole" I yelled at him realising my mistake to late.
He backhanded me, this was too much and I feel to my knees. Crying and holding my face. "Get up" he yelled pulling me to my feet.
"Don't you ever do such a thing again, next time the punishment will be worse than this, you don't speak to me like that, its master Zuko to peasant. You will do as I say when I say. If I asked you to run, you run. If I ask you to jump, you jump. Anything I ask you do, no butts. Or else you will be punished, do you get that"
"yes" I mumbled shocked and scared. "What was that?" he yelled in my face. "yes, master Zuko" I replied. "that's better" he replied with a smirk on he's face I just want to smack right of. Without realising it I started to smirk.
Zuko saw right away, "what are you smirking at" he yelled. God this boys has mental problem."nothing" I muttered. "that's what I though, now let me show you to your room"
he started walking away, do I follow him?, maybe I should find an exit, nah he hit me again. I shuddered at the thought. "hurry up" he said standing at the end of the hall.
walking up to him I saw he was smiling. Okay? Mood swings much
"
don't even think about running away, because I will find you and personal kill you" gulp "you can't" I said finally not feeling afraid, by then I was in front of him.
"why not" he said steeping closer. "because of the peace treaty thing, you would break it and my tribe will go to war with you". I said while smiling.
"I don't care, about that my dear" he said with venom in he's voice. " besides what do I care, another tribe to go to war with, who cares, not me." He replied looking smug as my smile dropped.
"so you don't care, that thousands of men, your men, die every day as long as your still the prince? Whoa you really are as heartless and cold as they say" he smiled evilly at me before slap really hard across the face. That's it I thought. Before I knew what I was doing I pulled my fist back and punched him straight in the nose crack.
he turned around and punched me in the stomach, making me topple over and crumple to the ground. ShitI thought.
picking me up he yelled into my face. "don't you dare, do that ever again. Or I will hit you harder than that, or maybe I'll burn you"
I whimpered. "that's what I though" he said acting all proud and tough. "You're a pussy" I said. "what?" he shrieked. "you hide behind your army, well that me tell you something it won't always be there to protect you."
once again he slapped me across the face. "god, you're gonna be so much fun breaking in, but don't worry my dear I never give up without a fight" "neither do I" was my instant reply.
"yes will see about that, this time tomorrow you give in" "I would rather go to hell, then serve you, you arrogant bastard" slap. My face was burning and the tears were spilling over.
"your all alone, no one is here to help you and you will learn respect if it the last thing I do, do you hear me". no reply.
slap "yes master" I said "good this is your room" he opened a room that was quite small but still big. It was blue and red. huh? It had a big blue bed in the middle, red dresser and a door which led to the bathroom. There was a window but it had bars on it.
"I'm right across the hall way, don't even try anything funny, got it"." Yes master Zuko" I said not turning around.
he grabbed me by the shoulders and turned me to face him. Slap. "look at me when I'm talking to you, and you're supposed to bow until I leave." He was looking really angry by now.
"yes master Zuko" I said while bowing. Once I heard the door close I collapsed on the bed. The tears flew down my face like a river. Water I thought to myself. Oh how I missed you, I will never be able to bend again. I felt like a piece of me was missing.
this is my life now, an angry, rude, arrogant master, betrayed by my on tribe and daily beatings for speaking my mind. The tears just wouldn't stop and I just cried and cried not knowing when I feel asleep.
