DISCLAIMER: don't own AVATAR

In 2day's chapter: Zuko and Kellie have some bad dreams. And they both get a bad wake up call afterwards.


Chapter 9: The Morning After

Kellie stood in the middle of darkness.

"Hello?" Kellie called. No answer.

"Is anyone out there?" Kellie called. Still no answer. Kellie started to get nervous. When Zuko appeared out of the darkness. He walked up to Kellie, and wrapped his arms around her. Kellie didn't do anything. She just enjoyed his company. When she saw a dagger glitter in the darkness. She tried to call out. To warn Zuko. But she couldn't speak. The dagger was thrown. Kellie tried to swing Zuko around, so it would hit her, and not Zuko, but she couldn't move. The dagger went straight through Zuko's heart. Zuko let go of Kellie and fell into the darkness. Just as Kellie lost sight of him, she heard a voice laugh. It sounded so familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was. All she could do was watch as Zuko fell into the eternal darkness…

Zuko didn't do anything. He just enjoyed her company. When he saw a girl with a dagger in the darkness. It was Whitney. He tried to call out. To warn Kellie. But he couldn't speak. The dagger was thrown. Zuko tried to swing Kellie around, so it would hit him, and not Kellie, but he couldn't move. The dagger went straight through Kellie's heart.

But all he could do was watch as Kellie fell into the eternal darkness…


Kellie gritted her teeth as she woke up from a dream. It had been horrible. And about Zuko.

Heh. No wonder it was so bad. It was about Zuko.

Kellie grinned at her joke. She didn't open her eyes. She was very warm and comfy.

Wait a minute. These beds aren't warm. They're frickin cold and so are the rooms! And these beds aren't comfy either. Maybe we got nice beds, and mom turned on the air conditioner.

Hold on. Mom's in the next room, and I'm sharing a room with…

Kellie dared to open her eyes. She screamed and rolled out of bed. She landed on the ground with an 'oof'. Kellie backed away from the bed. She got up and stared at the figure still sleeping. Zuko had had his arms around her waist, and his chin on top of her head. Kellie shuddered, and decided to take a shower.

Kellie scrubbed until she almost bled. After what Zuko had been doing, Kellie had felt rather dirty, although other 14-year-old girls would want to have been in her position. But Kellie hated it, after all, she knew the truth about Zuko…

Kellie got into dry clothes, and walked over to the bed and stared at Zuko. She gritted her teeth, then got a stream of water out of the sink. She dropped it on Zuko's head.

Zuko woke up with a start, to see an angry Kellie glaring at him.

"What?" Kellie's left eye began to twitch.

"You were holding me." She hissed.

"And you didn't like it?"

Kellie placed her hands on the foot of the bed, and her glare got more and more deadly.

"Two years ago, I might of liked it. But after what you did, it feels like an eternal imprisonment at Hell.

Zuko just sighed. Making her happy wasn't going to be easy.

But no one said it would be.


Ok. I'll update l8r.
