Thanks to Dark at Noon for giving me an idea about Marcus's past and about his scar. I know scars can not be inherited so Dark at Noon really helped me get past writers block and gave me the strength to keep writing this story. Also ctin939 really supported me and I am apreciated by that. Thank you both KorraNation1

Chapter 3: Earth

Kiara woke up to find Marcus leaning over her in a frustrated matter. He stared at her, with hatred and finesse. He quickly took the gag out of her mouth and sat down. She glowered at him, with complete horror.

"Hello Kiara" said Marcus, staring into her deep blue eyes

" Marcus" Kiara spat "How can you be this mean to people. How did your family raise you if you treat people like this"

Marcus's evil glare turned to sadness as he lowered his eyes

"Marcus I am so sorry I didn't mean to insult your fami..."

" Its ok Kiara" Marcus said interupting Kiara mid-sentence

" Can you tell me what happened" Kiara said "You know... with your family.

"I was very young" said Marcus " I was traveling with my family through the nations and we were about to step into the earth nation when we heard this pounding behind us. We realised it was horses feet and we ran but they caught up with us. It was the fire nation and Azula, my father's sister"

" Wait your father is Fire Lord Zuko" I said, astonished

"Yes" he said a bit suddenly "Now can I continue please"

Kiara nodded

" She took my parents and me into custody and lead us back to the Fire nation. She put my parents in jail but kept me because she wanted to use my bending for evil. She trained me and sent me on a few assassination missions but the worst of all she wanted me to kill my parents"

" So did you" Kiara said a bit heartly

He shook his head " No I turned her down. Then she got so angry at me and sent for guards to hold my arms. After I was locked in place by her guards she shot her hot fire at me. I turned my head so that the impact would not be so bad but..." his voice trailed off, his lip quivering

"It burnt your face didn't it" Kiara said

He nodded and started crying

" I could not fight against Azula and since I didn't kill my parents she sent me to find you. She promised me if I found you she would let my parents go. I thought this was going to be easy but when I first saw you I fell in love" he said, tears starting to water his eyes

Kiara leaned towards Marcus and kissed his eyes

" I love you too"
