Zuko brought me into my room. I was actually going to miss sleeping in Zuko's room. He locked my door and I went to the bed. I put the thin blanket over me and laid on my back. I was wide awake. My burn hurt like hell and it was too cold in my room. I turned on my side and closed my eyes. I coughed and sneezed after that. I didn't think any of it. I looked at the insignia on the wall. I narrowed my eyes.

"You must fight for your nation!" My dad was yelling.

"But dad, what we're doing is wrong! We already killed a whole nation!" I yelled back at him.

"they deserved it! All of the air nomads were weak!" My dad screamed.

"The air nomads were not weak! You wouldn't because you never met one!"

"Neither have you Millennia!" My dad exclaimed.

"I have read about them and they were gentle people!" I screamed.

My father made a grunting sound and stomped away from me.

"Wake up."

"Huh?" I said as I turned to see Zuko's emotionless face.

"Get up," He mumbled and helped me up.

I put my hand on my head and followed Zuko. I coughed a hesty cough and sat down in my regular spot.

"How was your sleep last night?" Iroh asked me pouring me some tea.

"Not good," I said coughing again. "I had this nasty cough all night and my arm was bothering me."

"Let me take a look at it again," Iroh said un-wrappingmy arm. "Well, it's not flakey anymore . That's good. It won't be infected."

I took a sip of my tea. When it went down my throat, it hurt like hell. I made a face and then went emotionless. I hope I wasn't getting sick. I couldn't get sick. Not on Zuko ship. He would surely let me die.

"Why don't we take a rest fom training today Zuko," Iroh said looking at me while I coughed.

"Sure,"He said helping me up and following me to my room.

He locked the door behind me. I immediatly went to my bed and laid down. I kept coughing like crazy. I put my hand on my head. I couldn't feel if I had a fever. And then I felt liquid run down my face. I looked at my hand. It was completely covered in blood. I found some sort of napkin in my room and wipped my face off and my hand. I fell back down on the bed and kept coughing up blood. I felt so dizzy, faint and tired, I couldn't keep my eyes open. I closed my eyes and heard a knock at my door.

"Millennia Time... for... lunch," Zuko mumbled as he came into my room. "Millennia?"

I didn't answer. My voice was too raspy and my throat hurt like I just swallowed a pineapple. I didn't open my eyes or anything. I laid there. He ame over to me and gently shook me. I grunted and coughed up blood. He took a look at my left hand.

'Uncle!" He yelled as he put his hand to my head. "Uncle!" He screamed this time.

"What is it Zuko?" Iroh came running into my room.

"She's burning up and coughing up blood," Zuko replied showing Iroh my soaked hand.

"I told you we shouldn't have kept her in a freezing cold room!" Iroh exclaimed. "Bring her to your room while I get some water and a rag."

Zuko hesitated. He sighed and picked me up off the bed and brought me to his room. He was so warm I couldn't help but cuddle into his chest. I didn't care if he was the fire nation prince or if he was a thug. He was so warm. He put me down on his bed, got a chair and sat next to his bed. Why was he there? He just wanted the avatar right? Iroh cam back with a bucket of water and a rag. He put the rag in the bucket, squeezed it and put it on my forehead. He stood up and looked me over.

"What's wrong?" Zuko said. I thought I heard worry in his voice but maybe it was worry that the only chance of him capturing the avatar may die.

"She's sick..."

"Obviously," Zuko mumbled.

"With a fever and a cold. No big thing," Iroh ignored Zuko's comment.

"No big thing? She's coughing up blood!" Zuko exclaimed.

"That's part of the cold," Iroh said going to the door. "Are you really going to stay in here? Do you not trust a sick lady?"

Zuko sighed and got up. "I'll check on her after so often though."

"That's fine but for now let her rest," Iroh said closing the door behind Zuko.


I rolled over in Zuko's bed. It was nice and warm. I sighed and turned onto my back. I opened my eyes slightly and turned my head to see Zuko looking at me. I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"How long have I've been asleep," I asked in whisper.

"2 days," Zuko replied with no emotion in his voice.

"Thanks," I said as I rolled over to go back to sleep. I thought about something and rolled back over. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Zuko mumbled.

"What do you have against me?" I asked.

"Aren't the avatar's teacher?" Zuko asked.

I looked away. "I wasn't supposed to be."

"What do you mean?" Zuko questioned.

"didn't I ask you the question?" I asked trying to sit up. Zuko's hand was on my chest gently pushing down.

"Don't try," He said.

I couged and said. "Well, I went along with them just as a friend but the water tribe kids can't water bend so I became his teacher just until we got to the..." I stopped myself just in time. I laughed. "You thought you could get it out of me."

Zuko looked at me funny. "What?"

"Didn't you want to know where the avatar was going?"

"Yes, but it's no use now. Zhao is probably going where they're going," He sighed.

"Don't let Zhao get to you," I said coughing. "He's been living with my family for years. He left 2 years before I left."

"So can you finish your story?" Zuko asked.

"Well, I became his teacher until we got to the northern water tribe and then I would leave them and help the northern water tribe with fighting," I said yawning and turning away. "You don't understand how much the fire nation has hurt the nations," I said falling asleep.
