A/N

So so so so so so so sorry for the long update! my computer stopped working so I couldn't. But that is why I will post either two or three chappies today. I already have this story planned out, but I am willing to take any suggestions. There is some none graphic Rated M stuff in this Chapter too... *runs away yelling* "Don't hurt me!"

Ray had woken up some time later. 'Should I tell Iroh? He could be a help. Then again, he might not. I don't know. This should work, I just need to wait and be patient.'

The sound of thumping brought her out of her thoughts. The faint sound of feet pattering echoing down the hall. She looked over to Iroh, who looked sad and frustrated.

"It's Zuko, isn't it?" her voice was weak and shy. Iroh merely nodded his head yes.

Anger flushed her face, as did mistrust and guilt. She turned around to face the wall with the tiny window.

"You shouldn't feel this." she whispered to her self. "He was the one that hurt you. But then again, he was your friend." her emotions were a battle inside herself; it was a bigger pain than any cut or burn.

The patter of feet grew louder. Ray soon recognized the pattern of the walker. It was indeed Zuko's. She knew this from the constant watching of his feet when trailing behind him as a kid. "Never changed." she whispered out loud.

Instead of stopping at her cell, she heard the thumps walk right past her and down another hall.

She looked at Iroh in a confused manner. Iroh just shook his head.

The guards, they found a new game that entertained them including Ray. They started shortly after Zuko walked past her earlier that day. They'd been doing this for hours now.

First, the guards ambushed and tied her hands and feet up, so she wouldn't be able to move. Then the five guards circled around her sitting form wipping her. She held her screams, though not her tears.

'They won't get a single sound from me.' She thought

When that ended up getting no noise from her, they started to slap her as hard as one could. Not only was she now bloodied but bruised too.

Not a single sound escaped her lips, which started to make them angry. So one guard lit his hand on fire and brought it close to her face.

"See, this?" he asked evilly. "This will surely get something out of you." He made a whip and returned to her back. The sizzling fire whipped her back twenty two times before he gave up. Though the pain was now extreme, she made not the slightest peep.

Three guards left, gave up on her. The other two were now determined to get at least one scream out of her. They stepped away and whispered to each other before facing Ray again, evil smiles plastered on their lips as they approached.

RATED M-ish NOT GRAPHIC

I was very, very confused, but as the guards took another step closer to me I got a sudden wave of pure, undiluted dread. Why were they getting so close? I found that I couldn't breathe, they were getting too close. I looked around frantically, trying to find a way to escape.

They smiled again. I hated this ship. "There is no way out Ray." One said. The others hand went to the hem of my shirt. This time, I screamed.

And I kept screaming. The event that followed will remain burned into my body, mind, and soul. The only emotions that I felt were terror, pain, and then nothing at all, as I tried to think of other things.

But the only words that were coherent in either my mind or coming out of my mouth were, "Someone save me."

END OF RATED M-ish ZONE

Azula walked into the room Zuko was at around noon, when all of her guards were on break.

"Oh Zuzu, you look flustered. Can I help?" Azula asked in a sweetly evil voice

"Don't call me Zuzu." Zuko hissed

She just rolled her eyes.

"What do you want?" he snapped

"The prisoner simply will not be quiet. I need you to go shush her for good. Maybe threaten her with her life or burn her or something."

"The same one from a couple days ago?"

"Yes. I want it done by tomorrow brother, though I wouldn't go right now if I were you."

Zuko had a questioning look, but he shook it off. "Ok." and with that he stood up from the couch in the lounge room and headed to his own room.

She was sitting there, barely moving, her heart thumping and tears slowly gliding down her pale cheeks. She was mortified. Her knees were up to her chest and her head lay upon them, her back facing the hall.

Ray started to rock back and forth ever so slowly.

Iroh was watching from across the hall with tears in his eyes too.

Ray was whimpering.

That's when she heard footsteps coming down the hall. She cringed and Iroh saw it.

Two guards came down the hall and stopped in front of the two cells. Smirks were plastered on their face as they looked at Ray.

She heard the cell door open up and cringed again. But what surprised her was that they didn't touch her. She turned around to see Iroh being pulled to his feet.

"Iroh." she whispered

"Don't worry about me. I'm so sorry, my dear." he said as guilt filled his expression and voice. He was dragged away from her and down the hall, the opposite way the guards came.

Tears poured down her face, to the point she couldn't stop the noise from erupting out of her mouth. Ray was broken.

Ray had cried to sleep that night. She woke up around midnight. A pain surged through her body.

The same night mare played over and over again throughout her dreams.

I was just sitting there when they came. It was lunch hour for all of the men, so I was a little surprised to see them. I wasn't afraid, until after I knew it was too late. They came in and attacked me. Not with weapons or bending, no, but with sex.

They took me. Tore my innocents from my being. Stole something I will never be able to get back. Two, that's how many there were. Two that claimed me as theirs. I couldn't do anything about it. They had the upper hand, I was too mortified to stop them. The worst part was that Iroh had to listen to the whole thing; my screams, cries, and the other sounds.

That was what happened earlier that kept me awake. I couldn't sleep, the earlier events cascading through my mind over and over and over again.

Okay, a little violent I do say. Not too bad though. Hope you enjoy and the next chapter will definately be less violent, i think.
