Chapter Four:

I wont go on saying that Helena was proud of what she did. She wasnt. She just, she just didnt know any better. Her mother was never around to tell her diffrent. She knew her father would harm her if he found out she was using her water bending ability. It hurt her to know that no one cared about her ability. She had no other real talents to think of. But then it hit her, Zuko. He told her that her talents were cool and that he liked them. But what did he know? he doesnt know what could happen to her if she is caught using them. Which was pretty stupid sence she was using them as she thought. Tears ran down her face. She didnt deserve a man like Zuko. She deserved a low life. Helena kept walking on the water as she continued her move. Her arms were getting as tired as my hands are while typing at 12:36 in the morning. Im actually pretty proud of my sucess in this fanfic. Well anyway. Helena hated that she was such a blind girl. Love is blind they say. Little did Helena know that she was dating a complete low-life. The man who had attacked her that morning was her boyfriend. He had already cheated on her. He had already gotten himself a blond, big breasted, bimbo-slut.

She wanted to hold on, but it hurt. It hurt to hold onto her low-life boyfriend. She really wanted to cry on Zuko again. She walked and her legs grew tired.She could never show her face around Zuko again. As much as she wanted too. She felt cold. Her heart was cold, her flesh was cold. The night was beginning to come out. She saw as the sun began to go back to bed behind the west horizon.All she wanted was for everything to be alright, for things to go back to the way they were before her mother died. Her mother would have taught her that the heart of a woman can't be found in the arms of a man. But her father taught her that a woman's heart is in the arms of a man. She couldnt stand anything anymore. So she just, gave up, she quit her move and just, fell into the water, falling into the water with a loud splash.


"What was that?" Aang asked. Looking around. Zuko looked into the water again and saw Helena as she just gave up. As she fell into the water.

"Katara! Land Appa!" Zuko nearly screamed at her.She let Appa rest on the water as Zuko dived into the water and swam after Helena.As she fell more and more into the water. She could barly make out that Zuko was coming after her. Thats when she just let herself be saved. She was too tired. She had hardly slept that night.

Zuko had saved her and got her back to Appa.

"wow she is pretty!" Aang said. Taking back what he had said once he saw the mean glare he was getting from Zuko. They brought Helena back to Zuko's ship before she even knew she was with the Avatar. When she did wake, she was in Zuko's room, wearing one of his shirts, which coverd to her thighs. She didnt bother to get up, she was tired, a bit hungry, and weak. She couldnt really move. She was totally drained. She sat up but Zuko gently nudged her back down. Her arms hurt from bending for nearly a whole day.She wouldnt try and argue, she was much too tired.What she never noticed, was that Zuko sat beside her no matter how long she slept. That was amazing.Zuko thought to himself. Water-bending for an entire day.No wounder she's tired. Maybe I should go find her something to eat.

Helena woke the next morning. Sleeping through the end of the day and all night. But she was still tired and in pain. Her arms hurt so much.When she sat up she spotted Zuko sleeping at the end of the bed, his head I mean was lieing on the bed and he was still sitting in the chair. How cute. She thought to herself giggling. Gently, she inched out of the bed and over to the dresser. Maybe he had a few blankets stored in here. Well she found one and put it around his shoulders as he slept. She gingerly lied back down in the bed and began to think. She wanted to her boyfriend to still love her. But she wasnt positive that she still wanted him. He didnt care for her like Zuko had. He would have left her a long time ago. Of course, theres the fact that she still had her honer. She said she would catch the Avatar for him, and she planned to. He didnt care about anyone but himself. Was the words he had said to her waisted? When she reached out when she was sick, she felt only air. But while she felt like this, she always felt Zuko's hand hold onto her's. But her mind is basic, so she doesnt see that he cares about her. That he obviously loves her. But sence he doesnt know anything about this kind of thing, he is shy about it and wont fully let it show. He tries to cover it up. Helena could hear the nagging voice in the back of her head. YOU DOLT! it would scold her. why do you want him back! Zuko- But Helena shook the voice away, she often did that.

As Zuko's eyes slowly opend, He saw Helena was awake just stairing into space. She was either in deep thought, or asleep with her eyes open. It was actually alittle bit of both.Not only that, she was getting bored.Although she herself stayed in the hull of her own ship, but she usualy wore her chinese clothes and was able to go on the deck when she pleased. Not only that, but her arms hurt alot. But aside from that she still played with the water in the glass when she pleased. But when the pain shot through her again she would lose it and it would spray all over Zuko. She would crack a smile and then rub her arms. They hurt so much.

"If you want to get better sooner, Im sure you should lay off on the bending for a while." Zuko told her, she nodded, it was kind of funny when the water sprayed in his face.


Katara, Aang, and Sokka were alittle proud of what they had done for Zuko. For the first time, Aang noticed how cute Katara was.Thus, resulted in a little blush. He was always trying to impress her with his avatar skills. Though she never seemed too impressed. He cleared his mind of Katara for a bit to focus on steering Appa. He wounderd what Zuko was doing. Then a thought hit him that made him burst out laughing.

"Yep he's crazy." Sokka said, proud of his little insult.

"Whats so funny Aang?" Katara asked. Aang turned his body to them.

"I was just thinking about what Zuko was doin right now. Probably like. Flirting with Helena!" Aang said laughing. It caused the other two to laugh. It wasnt nice to laugh at people. Esspecially when they were right.

"Your so mean Aang." Katara teased. Aang laughed. He knew she was just joking.Katara couldnt picture Zuko being flirty.Or even romantic. The whole idea made them laugh even more.

"She was pretty sexy." Sokka accidently said. That made Aang and Katara glare at him.

"You are a sexist dolt." Katara told him. "Zuko likes her! Can't you freakin tell?"

"Nope." Sokka said bordly. "besides, I could tell Helena doesnt feel that way about him."

"How?" Aang asked. Sokka smiled.

"Why else would she have run away?" Sokka asked them. It was more of either an awncer question, or a retorical question. I dunno what that second one is and I dont want to type it again.

"He's got a point Aang. Should we tell Zuko?" Katara asked. Aang shook his head.

"Nah. If we tell him that the girl he likes doesnt like him, I'll get killed." Aang pointed out to them. They nodded in unison.

"Yes but, What if he finds out and then blames us for knowing all along?" Katara asked.

"We act like we dont and that he's crazy." Sokka said to them.

"We'll keep thinking but that is a good back-up." Katara said with Aang nodding.
