Chapter 7:The Dream before Practice

"Zuko! Help!" I screamed as the Fire-Lord was throwing flame after flame.

"Banish her father! Banish her to an ice cube!" I heard Zuko's voice ring out loud and clear. The Fire-Lord had an evil grin on his face as he used a great fire blow. I flew back...really far...next to, almost in, the water. My element!

"Take this you uncaring pic!" i said and did a very complicated, confuzing trick that I didn't even know I could do. No one knew how to counter it. Except the king.

"HA! Foolish WHORE! You think something like a little water-works will hurt me! I am a King! I have defeated million's of masters! No one can defeat me!" His booming voice declared.

"Since my scar I have gotten stronger! Stranger than you could imagine! You are fighting for yourself! Where I am fighting for the lives of millions! I have the heart to speak out and not because I am a guy, or because I am a bender, but because I have the courage, strength, and bravery to do so!" I screamed at the Fire-Lord with each word growing madder, stronger, I kept fighting back. He took me by surprise and grabbed my arms, jumped over me and kicked my lower back, my scar, causing me to flip then fall.

"Finish her father! That unusefull whore is nothing to me!" I heard Zuko say and a chuckle arise in his voice.

NO! YOU CAN'T!" I screamed.

"Shawn! SHAWN! Wake up Shawn!" Zuko's blurry face in my face, his body on top of mine, shaking me like I was a smoothie. "It was just a dream Shawn."

"What were you thinking! Calling me a whore, letting your dad almost kill me! Calling me unusefull! AND NOW! Now your trying to score on me! You bastard!" I spat at him furry in my voice, I was shaking severly.

"What are you talking about! I would never do anything like that!" He sounded taken-aback. But now I might after you said that... "You were sleeping and screaming my name. so I came to see what was wrong! I would never let anyone hurt you!" His voice softened as he slilpped off me and layed next to me. I rested my head on his chest.One...two...three...four...five...six...

"My dream...your father...you!...agni kai..." I sounded dilusional. I just knew I did.

"It's okay, it was only a dream. Let's go get some tea to calm you down and then you can tell me about the dream." He sounded so calm...like it wasn't even him! Normally he's all: Got to get stronger, better, become perfect. This is not like him..

"Okay but don't get mad at me for the things my dream-self said. By the way what time is it?" I asked as we walked down the hall, I was resting on his arm, he didn't stop me.

"About 1:15 I promise I won't get mad at you." He said as we finally entered the kitchen. "They always have tea running, you know uncle." He's exceptionally chirpy, especially for this early in the morning.

"So tell me the whole dream." He said to me calmly. As I told him the story he kept saying that he would never do anything like that again.

"And then I spat at you." I said sheepishly. " really thought I was in the dream still! I mean I felt like I was literally in it. Like I was fighting your dad and you!" I said and put my head on my hands, elbows on the table.

"Your wrists are black and blue!" Zuko said as his face turned from understandment to confusment.

"Like I said I felt like like I was fighting your dad and you." I said looking at my own wrists they hurt a little, but mostly my scar...

"Well for now let's not think about it. It's only a dream ofcourse! Come on let's head back to bed."

"Let's hope the dream doesn't come back any time soon." I said as I layed down. All I could remember after lying down was Zuko's hand caressing my cheek and my head on his chest. "One...two...three..four...five...six...seven...eight...nine...ten..."
