A/N: whats up all? I know this is early, but I felt like spoiling everyone. This is back with Suki, so of course that means more Azula and all that other jazz. Hope everyone likes it, read and review, tell me what you think!

Suki

Azula's voice sent chills down my spine. I couldn't help but tremble slightly. Maybe it was because I hadn't eaten in so long and was weak, but I felt afraid for my life then; like I was really finished.

I wanted to get away, like whatever was going to happen wasn't good. I was lifted almost effortlessly from the ground and carried out. The sight that met me as my eyes adjusted to the light was something that I made sure to burn into my memory forever.

Ira stood on the hallway, looking as proud as the day she became a Kyoshi warrior only now she was wearing Fire Nation armor. I had always hated that smug look of achievement. Actually, she seemed even happier. I was suddenly over taken by the urge to strike her.

I struggled and was stuck from behind for my efforts. Pain surged through my back as Azula walked in front of me. She placed a hand on my face, and I drew in a sharp breath and bit my cheek as pain raced through me.

"I would stop making this any more difficult if I were you, after all, look how injured you are."

I spat in her face and she stepped back. The guards let me down and I wavered for a moment. She dropped to a fighting stance; "If you're so tough why don't you try me again?" I looked around for a way out. Azula's fist cracked into the side of my head, right where I was burned I staggered back and cried out, my hand covering my burn; I could feel blood flowing weakly over my fingers. Azula stepped forward and struck at me again. I stepped back for the blow and moved in under her arm. I gripped her wrist and twisted her arm around to flip her, but as I took her weight my legs gave out and I collapsed, caught up in the moment I hadn't realized that I wasn't strong enough anymore.

She turned the half throw into a flip and landed at my feet, a ball of fire in her hand. "Hold her down" I felt hands force my arms to the ground, Ira's hands. I looked up at her and then to Azula, Ira looked down at me sadly for the briefest of moments.

"I should do something to you that will ensure you do as you are told… but most of the things I can think of would leave you useless to me. So what does my newest soldier have to say?"

There was a moment of silence; "She wants to help everyone she can, if you threatened to hurt Ellyona then she would probably do whatever you say, since you killed San already."

My heart stopped right then. I think she continued to talk but I didn't hear her. Grief had gripped my mind. San was dead. Memories of her training with me on our island flashed through my mind, her laughing with me, our time abroad helping refugees, the look on her face as she saw something new.

She was gone… because of me… because I was stubborn, because… I wouldn't do what Azula wanted. I couldn't let that happen to anyone else ever again. I steeled myself as best I could for the consequences of what I was about to do; "No, you don't have to… I'll do what you say… I won't cause any more trouble."

Azula smiled the smile of a victor. I seethed inside, though I felt as though I had a weight removed from my body. As I stood I became painfully aware of how weak and sore my body was. My side screamed where I had just been burned, and the side of my head ached horribly. I wanted to sleep.

1 day's passage

I woke in a small room to the unnerving sensation of movement without motion. I looked around; I was in a metal walled room about twenty feet by ten. There was a cot that I was laying on, and a small set of shelves. I fresh set of red fire nation cloths lay on the top shelf.

"I don't think so Azula." I pulled the light blanket off of myself and stood. My legs trembled a little and threatened to drop out on me for a moment. I hated feeling so weak. I took a step as the room lurched and I fell into the wall banging my head. Darkness followed.

I woke up in a dark room. I sat up and realized that I wasn't wearing the same clothes I had been. A man stood in front of me, a knowing half smile on his face. "I did not do what you are thinking my dear, though I did suggest that you be bathed and your wounds cleaned; I need you healthy in order to teach you."

I stared at him dumb struck;

"Who are you?"

"I am Long Feng, former Grand Secretariat of Ba Sing Sae. And you are Suki, a warrior of the island of Kyoshi" He reached into his robes and produced a small lantern. "Hold her down please; I don't want to have to start all over again if she causes trouble."

A person moved just outside of my vision, rock bindings formed around my arms and legs, locking me against the chair I was sitting in. I struggled for a moment but gave up. I still hadn't eaten or drank anything in a while, and now my head was spinning.

The lantern was moved so that it was in front of me. The light hurt my eyes. Long Feng placed it on a pedestal near me. It began to move around him in a large circle. Every time it passed by me I shut my eyes in pain. I felt rock move over my eyes and force my lids open.

"You are Suki, a warrior of Kyoshi. You work for your nation. Azula is you princess. You are honored to be here with her." My eyes started to water.

"What are you talking about? If I get the chance, I will kill her for what she has done!"

Long Feng merely looked past me and nodded. The lantern began to speed up. As it did so he began to talk in a soothing voice. Soon I was aware of just how tired I was. I wanted to sleep so badly. My head ached, and my burns felt as if they had just happened. The room began to spin uncontrollably and I felt as if a wave of calm had settled over my mind.
