Zuke ran through the forest bounding away as fast as she could, hot tears were stinging at her eyes and then finally released tears rolled down her cheek in rivers. She was out of breath and still running, her legs and arms were scratched and bleeding, she had a deep gash on the side of her head and her hair was staining with blood.

She bounded over bushes and tripped over roots, stumbling and rolling a few times in between, her heart was pounding and she could barely breathe. She had a sharp stabbing sensation in her side from the running; Zuke was exhausted and didn't know how much longer she could run.

Zuke felt betrayed and hurt, someone she thought she loved had turned on her and let this beast pursue her.

She breathed hard and shot fire behind herself trying to slow the trail of her pursuer; she narrowed her eyes and continued running while trying to breathe at the same time. Zuke was on the verge of collapse and was begging for any salvation she could manage.

Zuke darted around a tree and leaned against it panting hard, she was covered in mud and her hair was down and very messy, her clothes were ripped and barely clinging to her dissolving body.

Zuke brought her bleeding hand up to wipe tears from her face, the dirt and blood stung her eyes and the tears were wiped away. The surrounded forest was burning and ash was falling on top of her, the dark sky was a deep red from the glow of the inferno.

Zuke laid her head back against the tree and looked up to the sky and saw a single star, like it was calling to her. That star gave her a bit of hope, if one star could shine that brightly through all the smoke of that fire, then she could shine through the smoke of the world.

"I've never seen you so alluring." A deep older mans voice broke through the cracks of the fire.

"I've chased you, I've craved you, YOU WILL BE MINE!" The voice rumbled and made her stop breathing.

Suddenly two strong arms took her from behind the tree and she was whisked around as the figure appeared in front of her,

The figure put a dagger to Zuke's neck as she was suddenly awakened by Katarou.

He was holding her in his arms and staring into the golden eyes that were glaring angrily at him waiting for the moment to attack, he quickly realized she was unhappy and dropped her on the ground.

Zuke panted as she felt around her body for the wounds she could still feel, there was nothing but her cold sweat that was beading on her forehead and the droplets that were forming on her lower back.

She curled up into an upright fetal position and stared at her knees, she had a strange feeling it was going to happen.

Katarou stared at her with a sympathetic look on his face, he walked up to her and put a hand on her back and kneeled next to her, "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked her calmly.

"No….thank you….I just want sleep." Zuke said in a monotone voice, she sighed and curled over.

Katarou shrugged and walked back to the tent, he sighed and fell asleep almost immediately. He was very tired; especially after the run he had earlier.

That morning-

Katarou stepped out of the tent and stretched, he yawned and looked over at Zuke who was practicing her firebending, he decided to sit and watch just to entertain himself.

Zuke threw a few punches into the air as fire short clean from nowhere, she stomped her foot a few times spewing fire from beneath them. Zuke was feeling pure lust at the moment, pure adrenaline. Her heart was pounding; she positioned into a horse stance(for those of you who know karate) and slid her heel around and thrusted her palm forward sending fire forth at a pine needle dummy she had crafted.

The dummy burst into flame and dissolved quickly onto the ground, she stanced and ended her self training.

Katarou rose an eyebrow and started to make breakfast, he spread out some nuts and sighed, it was all they had left and they needed to make it last. He listened to his stomach growl and heard a twig snap behind him, Katarou turned around and saw Zuke staring down at him; she shook her head and turned away.
