Zhao saw me looking at the light that came out of the hole.

"It leads us to the underground tunnel. The Dai Li didn't want anyone to find a cave or secret passage way, so they use this small hole as a guide." Zhao was speaking to me, but I refused to make eye contact. I hated him so much.

"The Dai Li made a tunnel for Azula?"

"You don't deserve to know, but seeing how it's going to be your new home, I don't see any danger in telling you. No, they didn't build it for her. They have many tunnels throughout the years. We are going to the tunnel of Maraki. It's one of the smaller tunnels and you could fit all of Ba Sing Se inside."

Our decent stopped and the earthbender kicked at the wall in front of us. The wall fell away, to revile an army camp. There were hundreds of white tents with the Fire Nation insignia on the side. Zhao pulled my mother forward and ordered me to keep up. Don't hurt her. I silently commanded. If I was to say it out loud, he would probably kill her. As I followed him, I could see firebenders dueling each other. Others were using a variety of weapons. They were brutal, constantly clashing together in combat.

It was then that realization hit me. Azula's army has gathered under Ba Sing Se. The entire time we had been waiting to see ships sailing over the horizon, or men by the thousands marching on foot. Either way, we would've had a chance with the wall to help us. Not now. Now Azula's army could attack at any moment, completely wiping out the Avatar's army.

Despair tried to cover me, but I fought back. There must be hope. All I have to do is get back up to the surface and tell Aang what's going on hundreds of feet below the surface. Ya, that's all I have to do.

Zhao pulled my mother and I in one of the larger tents. A Fire Nation soldier inside immediately seized my mother.

"Put her in chains and place her in the middle of the camp." Zhao ordered.

"No." I begged.

My plead fell on deaf ears. She was barely conscious as the soldier took her away. My eyes followed her as she left. It was quiet, and I realized that we were alone.

"Don't hurt her."

He started walking slowly towards me, and said, "She won't hurt nearly as much as your going to."

With that, he tackled me and pinned my arms to the ground.

"Nooo!!" I screamed. "Please, no."

By now tears ran down the sides of my face. I knew his intentions. He swung one leg over me and sat down.

"Don't worry dear, It only hurts if you want it to."

"Noo, I don't wanttt-"

"That's too bad, because I need someone to carry an heir to the throne. He will be the next Fire Lord. That is after me."

He bent down and covered my neck with slimy kisses. It was so violating, and yet it was only the beginning.

"What do you mean 'the next Fire Lord.'?" I managed to say.

"Nothing, all you have to do is give me a son. It's only a small part of my plan."

He let go of my arms to reached for the row of buttons down the back of my dress. I kept moving so he wouldn't be able to get to them.

"Stop moving or I'll burn the dress off you."

I wanted to know what he meant about producing an heir, but at the same time I didn't want him to get my dress off. He pushed my skirts up to about my thigh.

"You know," I started. "This would be more pleasurable if I were willing."

"Yes it would, but unfortunately, you aren't."

He grabbed the opening at my chest and ripped it open. The only thing I was wearing was my slip.

As he reached for it, I said hastily, "I would, for a trade."

Am I insane?!? He stopped and blinked a few times.

"What kind of trade?" At least he was interested.

"I'll be willing, if you tell me what your plan is." I held my breath and waited.

He frowned and thought of my proposal. "Alright. I don't see any harm in it. I'll tell you what it is, but only while we continue. You must be willing though."

In response, I pulled the torn dress out from underneath me. He seemed to like that.

"My plan," He started as he grabbed my ankles and pulled me closer. "Is to become Fire Lord."

"How, exactly are you going to achieve that?" I asked seductively. It made me want to puke. He became even more excited now than before.

"I'm going to kill Azula and Zuko. You see," He said as he pulled off his armor. "I sent a letter to the Avatar, telling him that I had his girlfriends, and to fight if he wanted them back. I wanted their army to strike first."

He pulled off his arm guards, and was finished. "Why did you want us to strike first?" I got up on my knees and ran my hand over his heaving chest.

"Because, I figured if they were to give the first punch, they would have a chance of winning. If the Avatar and his friends took Azula out, the rest would be easy. I could surrender, tell them I've changed, and eventually poison them all in their sleep. Then before the next sunrise, I would have delivered the Avatar to the Fire Lord. With both of his children dead, he'd have to pass the title on to someone else. Someone with a pregnant wife."

So that was his plan. The only thing I didn't have an answer to was how he knew that we 'girlfriends' were missing. I asked him my last question as my hands worked his shirt off.

"There was a girl who said that she was following you. I pretended to be a soldier, and interrogated her. She told me of how she wanted to get back. So I let her in through the tunnels. I figured she could serve as some kind of distraction."

Now that I knew his plan, all I needed to do was escape. Swallowing hard, I kissed him. His tongue forced itself into my mouth, and I had to play along. It was disgusting. I had never aloud someone to kiss me like that, and was sure that I wouldn't kiss like that again. Slowly, I pushed him back, forcing him to lay down. Now I was that was straddling the other.

His pressure point was barely above my fingertips. If I could just... Suddenly, the tent door opened and a authoritative girl walked in. She was covered from head to foot in armor.

"I know your busy right now Zhao, but I would like to have a quick meeting with you."

AN: Thank God for Azula! Okay, I need to explain really quickly about the light at the beginning of the chapter. Think of an elavator. The tiny light would serve as a cable. I just wanted to say thank you to all of my reviewers! We made it to 15 reviews!! Woohoo!!!
