Long time not updated… A lot is going wrong. My grandma is in hospital and school is nagging me with so many tests! Please enjoy and review or mail me if you would like.
Chapter 7
Two months have past. I acted like the perfect servant. Everyday the same routine. But still, a perfect servant wasn't enough for the princess. Nothing was enough for princess Azula. After her birthday she had burned most of her presents. My parents didn't even had enough money to buy one these dolls, she was unthankful. I didn't dare to say anything about it.
I hated the princess' friends maybe even more than the princess herself. Mai treated me like mud, maybe even lower than mud. Ty Lee always smiled nicely at me, but when she was with her friends she couldn't stop talking about how stupid I looked, or how I had screwed up my work.
It was a beautiful and warm day in the Firenation. Flowers stood up proudly while the turtleducks swam in the little pool in the garden. I walked through the garden. It was the day of Agni. On the day of Agni I had two hours off, so I could do whatever I wanted.
I walked in the shadow of the big white wall. There was this beautiful big cherrytree. I touched it when I heard something. I turned around.
'Hey, you. Over here.' The wall whispered.
I walked to the wall and touched it. Nothing, just the cold marble.
'Are you a servant?' The wall asked.
'Yes.' I replied softly. I must be going crazy.
'Do you like it in here?'
'No.' I said. 'But how can you talk, big wall?'
I heard someone laugh softly. 'I'm not the wall, look.' A little piece of grass popped out of the wall. In the wall was a little hole.
'I'm a human behind the wall, smartass!'
'I'm sorry.' I said scared by the sudden outburst.
'ok.' The man behind the wall sighted. 'You just said you didn't like the palace, didn't you?'
'Yes, I did.'
'Take a seat.' I sat down in the grass my back against the wall.
'I'm going to ask you some questions. If you don't want to answer, that's ok. If you don't want to work with me, just walk away and forget the conversation. So, who's your master?'
I wanted to work with this man. I didn't know who it was, but finally something happened in this boring life.
'My master is Princess Azula.'
'Great.' the man said. 'That's perfect.'
'Do you like the princess?'
I thought about it. Did I like the princess? No, absolutely not.
'No.'
'Do you want to get away from the palace?'
'Yes.' I want to go home.
'For any needs?'
'For any needs.'
He asked me some other questions and gave me three things to do. One: every day of Agni come here and sit here. Although there's no one to talk to. Two: Keep my mouth shut. Three: get close to princess Azula.
I needed this, doing something not allowed. I am still a child and I'll do what children always do. Make fun.
Although this sounded pretty serious I took it as a game. A game that I wanted to win.
The next day I started. I stood up early and made a perfect breakfast. Princess Azula didn't really seem to like it, as always.
I complimented her on her dress and her hair. She gave me a little I-see-you're-trying-to-be-nice-but-I-don't-really-care-smile and continued with what whatever she was doing.
When she was training herself in the training area I took my chance.
I bowed and waited 'till she saw me.
I heard how she stopped. 'What is it slave?' she sighted.
I brought her some water. 'May I suggest something, princess?'
'What?' she said while she drank the water.
'Maybe I could help you practice, than you can shoot on a moving object, princess.' I bowed my head. I knew she couldn't say no against this offer. She loved hurting people. She was so weird.
'Why not? Stand over there and try to dodge my flames. Although I don't think you'll manage to dodge them.' She grinned.
I knew I could get hurt, but this was also part of the game. I took a deep breath and the first fireball came to me with high speed. I ran away fast and the fireball missed me.
More fireballs came to me. I jumped and ran, fast and elegant without ever touching a fireball.
'Warmed up?' the princess panted.
'I think I can handle more princess.' I grasped for breath.
She smiled and threw even more fireballs at me. I dodged most of them although some burned pieces of my clothes.
Half an hour later I gave in. I had to give in earlier than the princess, otherwise she would be ashamed and she would never do something with me again.
'I won! Just as expected.' The princess said proudly.
'You are a real master princess.' I bowed.
'Thank you… what is your name servant?'
'My name is Kozakura, princess.'
'Earthkingdomscum, I see. But you aren't as bad as most of your kind. Take a bath and be sure to prepare my dinner, yours are kind of tasty, Kozakura.'
I bowed one last time and walked away. I felt like a servant ruling over her master.
Although I knew I still had a long way to go, I wanted to continue the game.
And another chapter. I know it's again a short one, but I'm not that good in writing long chapters. Reviews and mails make me very happy (although I haven't received one mail! Grr. ) you may mail me whatever you want. If you think I should stop, or have some advise for me. BTW I don't think the next chapter will come up soon, I'm really busy and I don't have much time to write. Sorry…
