Chapter 2: The Firebender's Ship
The firebender and myself were facing each other, thinking back to what we had just accomplished together.
"I have to get you below deck before-" he was cut off.
"Zuko, why do you have such a lovely lady on board?" Asked an old, fat man with golden eyes. He seemed to be smiling happily.
Zuko must be the name of the firebender. I thought to myself. Then I remembered something!
I saw Zuko's face harden and was now emotionless. "Uncle, she is here, because she is traveling with the avatar. No other reason!" Zuko told his uncle agitatedly.
"After I take her down to a cell, I need to talk to you, Zuko." His uncle told him. Zuko just noddled his head and lead me down to a cell, that happened to be a very nice cell, if it even was a cell. Red tapestries hung from the walls and candles burned in one corner of the room. There was a chest at the end of the bed and more candles were were sitting on top of another chest. The chest, with tons of candles on top, had an elaborate design that went all around the chest. I t had no lock, and I was quite curious to see what was inside.
Slowly I crept over towards the chest and took off the candles carefully. I opened the chest as quietly as I could; letting the candle's light shine inside the chest, I saw a very lovely picture of a woman. Knowing that all firebenders have black hair and golden eyes, I thought sadly, that she was probably the girl Zuko liked.
As I was closing the chest, the door swing open with a thus. Zuko came marching in, infuriated. He came over to the chest and closed it. He replaced the candles to where they had originally been .He was furious and acting like his element when not controlled. I was surprised when that his tempter could be as raging flames. Then Zuko shouted, "Sit over there and never, never, touch this chest again! Got it?!" When he yelled, the flames on the candles had shot two more feet in air, startling me, as well as temporarily blinding me.
I stumbled back, and started to fall when he gripped me before I hit the metal floor. Shocked, I didn't know what to say; but all I could muster was a quite "Thank you." in a brief whisper. He nodded and lead me to the bed.
"Why did you put me in a room instead of a cell?" I asked boldly.
"You are staying in here, were it's safe." He told me. But all I heard was that I was staying here. It didn't fully register in my mind that he had said were it's safe. I watched on the bed as he meditated. He looked so peaceful and calm.
A/N:Okay! Tell me what you think! The next chapter should be up soon!!!!! :)
