Previous on Legend of Gyawa:

I was in the right position to snap her neck, there was nothing actually stopping me, if I didn't I would be caught and who knows what would happen then. ]

But I didn't want to kill her, I had never done something like that before, and now wasn't the time. She was just doing her job, when the war is over she would probably be a normal person.

"Get her off me and arrest her!" She yelled before I felt Sokka pull me away.

"You're under arrest!" He stated as she grabbed Zuko.

"Don't worry I'll figure it out." Sokka whispered in my ear.

"You fool!" I hissed back, they were definitely going to find out.

And sure enough they did, as soon as they took the shirt off my back they saw the tattoos. Then they took off the bandanna and if was confirmed I was the avatar. They tied me up in chains and put me in a dark prison cell with two guards.

"Well well well, if it isn't the avatar herself." The warden smirked as he walked in with more guards. There was absolutely no way to escape.

"Hey warden, I can't take it. The walls are closing in. Bla bla bla." I mocked rolling my eyes at him.

"Oh that won't last very long, not when I'm done with you." He threatened making sure I looked him in the eye.

"Bullsh*t." I grinned with a scoff. "Why don't you just tell the Fire Lord and be done with this?" I asked as I saw the guards were holding clubs.

"Oh in due time believe me, but for now the Fire Lord doesn't need to know." He grinned as the guards closed the doors after he walked out, they walked towards me ready to hit me with the clubs they played with in their hands.

I began to panic, there was nothing I could do but except the pain that was about to happen. The first one have a wide yellow smile before socking me in the gut and knocking the wind off of me. It was going to be a long day.

That night after they made my chains tighter and left me bruised, fighting for breath, tired and beaten I heard my cell door open.

I looked up to see it was Sokka and Zuko. "Gyawa!" Zuko yelled running up to me with worry in his eyes.

I didn't say anything, just hoped my long hair would cover up my bloody swollen face. "What did they do to you?" He asked as he looked at all my bruises.

"So what's up?" I asked, through breaths.

"We made an escape plan, we're leaving now. But there's one more thing, my dad might come here tomorrow." Sokka explained as Zuko looked at me like a worried mother. It was getting really annoying.

"Have they given you any water?" He asked.

"They're afraid I'll bend it." I grinned back.

"We need to get her out of here." He stated looking back at Sokka.

"Wow there Zuko, I haven't heard the whole story yet. Sokka you want to stay?" I asked trying to pull my arms from hanging.

"I don't know. Is it right for me to risk Suki's freedom, all of our freedom on the slime chance that my dad is going to show up?" He asks looking around and finally to me.

"Yes, your father would do the same. Don't get me out till you get your father too." I replied making Zuko look at me with frustration.

"But Gyawa, if you stay in here you'll die." He warned with wide eyes.

"No I won't, I promise, just go." I said trying not to show I was breathing so heavy.

As they were leaving Zuko looked back at me, he moved his lips to say something but no words came out. He just looked at me with a deep concern before slowly following Sokka out the door.

"I hope we haven't just made a huge mistake." I heard Sokka sigh before he closed the door and I caught a look at Zuko one last time.

~Zuko POV~

As I sat in my cell, all I could think of was Gyawa. If she was okay, if we had made the worst mistake in our lives.

She was hurt pretty bad even if she didn't want to admit it, I hated the thought of them just beating her up for the hell of it. I looked up at the door as Sokka walked in.

"I just got done talking with my dad. We came up with a plan-" he was explaining before two guards walking up.

"What are you doing here?" One asked.

"I was just telling this dirty low life what I think of him!" Sokka replied pointing at me.

"Well you'll have to do that later, he's coming with us." The other stated with a bored aditude.

"Why?" He asked, trying not to show his concern.

"Because we have orders straight from the warden that's why." He replied.

"Can I just get ten more seconds to rough him up a bit." Sokka asked before they nodded.

"Fine ten seconds." She answered, Sokka closed the door and threw me a pillow.

I held it as he it hit saying; "Take that and this." And I faked groaning in pain. "We have a new plan but it's going to take a big distraction be at the yard in one hour." He whispered right before the guards opened the doors.

I immediately threw the pillow and Sokka charged me and acted like this was what he was doing. "Alright that's a enough." The girl said before they grabbed me and dragged me down the hallway.

"What's going on?! Where are you taking me?!" I asked, but got no response.

"I didn't do anything wrong!" I yelled as I got shoved in a room.

"Come on, Zuko we both know that's a lie." I heard a familiar voice, I turned and my thoughts were confirmed, it was Mai.

"How did you know I was here?" I asked ready for Azula to pop out.

"Because I know you so well." She replied folding her arms, I just glared at her from the corner of my eye. "The Wardens my uncle, you idiot." She rolled her eyes. "The truth is, I guess I don't know you. I get nothing? You could have at least looked me in the eyes when you ripped out my heart and joined that girl!" She stayed making it clear what this was about.

"This isn't about you! It's about the Fire Nation." I replied, I had no intention of getting back with Mai.

"Thanks Zuko that makes me feel all better." She sarcastically scoffed throwing a hand up.

"Mai, I never wanted to hurt you, but I have to do this to save my country." I tried to explain but I knew she wouldn't understand. Even though I was in a room with my once girlfriend, all I could think of was if Sokka was getting Gyawa out. If she was still okay, not like how I saw her the other day.

Getting Gyawa away from Azula.

"Save it? You're betraying your country!" She yelled back, I was a little stunned she said that.

"That's not how I see it." I replied looking at the wall.

"Oh no? I can't believe you'd leave me for your honor prize!" She yelled, making me stand up and getting ready to yell at her.

How dare she call Gyawa my prize! I never saw her that way and now that I knew her there was no way I could let her get away with that. "That's not what she is, Mai!" I shouted with fist clenched.

"Oh no? Then what is she, Zuko??!" She asked, with a scoff.

"She's..." I was about to say something but I didn't know really what. She was my friend, but yet more than a friend but I couldn't call her that because… well I didn't know if she felt that way about me.

~Gyawa POV~

"Oh, well here you are." I heard a certain cunning voice say as the door opened.

"Azula." I groaned as I lifted my head to see her look all perfect at me.

"I have you, your all mine." She grinned, an odd looking suit was being rolled up. It was a straight jacket with locks and a mask to stop me from bending with my mouth.

This was going to be fun.

~Zuko POV~

I managed to get free from the room when a guard walked in. I made my way to the yard we're a huge riot was going on.

"Zuko, good you're here, now all we need to do is grab the Warden and get to the gondolas, but Azula is taking Gyawa away to the gondola." Sokka stated making me snap.

"Where?!" I asked looking around, I wouldn't let Azula take her, not now.

"I just said the gondola." He replied before I took off to the gondola.

I made speed so I could jump up on a ledge and used momentum to get to the other. I did the same a few more times before I was on the right level. Then I just ran through the fight and a few guards.

Azula, Ty Lee, and a few guards were walking to the gondola as I ran up and shot a huge burst of fire at the guards. Azula turned to see it was me and sighed.

I punched five fast blast at the guards again knocking them out and running in between Gyawa and Azula.

"Back off Azula." I warned as I kept stance at her.

"Oh Zuzu, so romantic. But I'm not going anywhere." She snarled back taking position.

"Zuko, get me out of here!" Gyawa growled.

"I don't know how." I replied glancing at the straight suit.

"Oh boy this is gonna hurt." I heard her sigh as Azula threw a swirling blue fire ball at me. I ducked and dodged it. But then I saw that Gyawa's suit was on fire.

I immediately took it out and tore it off. She collapsed to the ground and gasped. As I was about to see if she was okay she threw an earth slide at Ty Lee who I didn't even see running up. She stumbled to get to her feet as we stood side by side.

~Gyawa POV~

I threw a chunk of earth at Azula's flame. She hopped over it and kicked more bursts are me. I broke through it and kicked air with a boulder.

I looked over to see Zuko wasn't doing too good with Ty Lee. I caught her feet in earth, she gasped as she tried to get free, I then took earth and used it to pull her arms down and lock those two.

Zuko shot a smile at me before a slice of fire hit in between us. I punched three fire blast and one kick.

She dodged all of them and kicked blue fire at Zuko. He blocked it and shot back.

Sokka, Suki, Hakoda and the Warden and yeah and that dude all ran up. I made a huge wall of earth to block Azula to give us time.

"Everyone in!" Suki ordered as we ran in the gondola. As quick as Zuko could he jammed the ropes and ran in.

"Way to think ahead." Sokka complimented him.

"We're on our way." Suki sighed.

We all looked out the window to see Azula fly up using fire then using cuffs to hook on the lines and once again used fire bending to move.

Meanwhile Ty Lee ran it. "This is a rematch I've been waiting for." Suki commented.

"Me to." Zuko added.

"It be cheesy to say me three." I also added.

We all got the roof of the gondola and got ready to fight them. All fear of heights had to say bye bye today.

Azula landed and kicked fire at all of us before landing on her hands and kicked more and landing right.

I broke through all of it and punched air at her. She moved to the side, Sokka ran up and almost got her in a jab. Zuko kicked a burst at her, she easily blocked it.

I slid air from my feet, but she jumped up at the right moment.

I then remembered there was steam all around us, I made pure water and threw a water whip at her. She didn't see it coming but fire blasted through it.

Not before long the Warden got free, "Cut the line!" He yelled out the window.

It wasn't a while before they began to cut.

"They're about to cut the line!" Ty Lee warned.

"Then it's time to leave." Azula stated as she saw another cart was coming in. "Goodbye, Zuko." She said as she fire bended herself off onto the other cart.

We all immediately jumped back in the cart. "They're cutting the line!" I forgot who said.

"I get it! I get it! They're cutting the line!" I yelled in frustration that they were all saying it.

"I hope this thing floats." Hakoda stated, with a sigh. As we looked out the window we saw that Mai was taking out all the guards.

"Who is that?" Sokka asked.

"It's Mai." Zuko almost whispered as he stared at the image. She still did it, it's kind of sad but I was never more glad.

"Sorry Warden your Record is officially broken." Hakoda smiled as we left him there.

"Yeah! suck it!" I smiled giving him the finger, he deserved it for beating me up.

"Well we made it out now what?" Suki asked, looking around.

"Zuko, what are you doing?" Sokka asked as he stopped.

"My sister was on that island." He thought out loud.

"Yeah and she's probably right behind us, so let's not stop." Sokka replied.

"What I mean is she must have come here somehow." We all followed him as he ran to a hill.

"There. That's our way out of here." He said pointing at an air ship.

~Zuko POV~

After we got rid of the pilot it was smooth sailing to go to the western air temple, I walked in the meeting room where Gyawa was sitting wrapped in blankets, drinking tea.

"Are you alright?" I asked, she turned and gave him a slight smile, her face still badly bruised or small cut.

"I'm good, you?" She asked as I sat next to me.

"What do you mean?" I asked back.

"I saw your face when Mai saved us. You fine?" She replied looking at her cup.

"Oh... yeah. I'm just surprised she did that." I slowly answered, I didn't quite know what to say.

"Yeah I understand." She said not looking at me.

"Umm, Gyawa..." I stumbled to say, going through all that made me realize I should stop fooling around and tell her how I feel.

But yet I had to remember who we were. I was the prince of the Fire Nation, and she was the avatar. Two people with destinies but I wasn't sure if they were meant to be put together.

"Yeah?" She turned and leaned over to me with her grey eyes staring at mine. A cut on her left eyebrow made her no less beautiful.

"I huh..." I wasn't even sure if I should have been saying this, what if I was about to make a huge mistake.

In that cave we kissed, and it was one of the best feelings, but I had to remember who this was. I wasn't meant for her, and yet she was all I wanted. My mind was fighting once again but not over sides but over a girl. Not just any girl, the avatar.

She would have duties to the world and so would I, this would just get in the way. I couldn't tell her, I just couldn't.

Nonetheless, I knew if I didn't I would regret it. I felt more confused then ever about Gyawa. I had my mind made up a minute ago and now my head was going in circles.

"Zuko?" She asked, looking at me with no idea of what I was going to say.

"I got to go." I said under my breath trying not to show I was shaking in fear that I was ruining it.

Making my way down the hallway. I felt like such an idiot. I just ended the conversation like that and I didn't tell her, it was the perfect moment.

"Stupid!" I found myself yelling out loud and hit the metal hallway leaving a dent.

I sighed in frustration at the other voice in my head saying not to tell her.

I held my heart and slowly fell to the hallway floor and hit my head against the wall a few times. I was such an idiot. I should have told her.
