Chapter 5
On Deck
"Who's there?" asked Zuko alarmed.
"It's only me," answered Iroh, walking over to stand beside him.
"What do you want uncle? I'm a little busy"
"It's about the girl. Mara was her name, wasn't it?" asked Iroh.
"What about her?"
"What do you have in store for her? I don't think it's fair that she's locked up in a cell all day."
"That's my business to worry about. Right now I'm just trying to find the avatar."
Slowly, Iroh turned and walk away.
In the cell
"What have I just done?" I asked myself as I quietly sobbed. "I've abandoned the earth people who raised me after my parents died, joined the fire nation, and started lying to hide my true feelings from Zuko. I guess I really am like the fire nation."
Moments passed, the ship was quiet, as if everyone onboard was listening to what I just said.
Quietly, I continued to sob for all that I've done wrong and for what I should have done.
Then, one of Zuko's guards walked in.
"Prince Zuko would like to have a word with you" he said as he unlocked my chains.
I was lead outside onto the deck where Zuko was standing.
"I herd that you can track the avatar by looking at the clouds?"
thinking How did he figure out my power?"
"Well, answer me! Can you track the avatar or not?"
"Y…yes," said a bit startled.
"Good. Now, you know what to do."
Quickly, I studied the clouds, not knowing what might happen next.
"Well?" asked Zuko impatiently
"He's headed for Omokoni Island," I replied.
"Guards, take her back to her cell"
Quietly, I turned and walked back to my cell before the guards had a chance.
in my cell
"Prince Zuko doesn't even know I exist, he trufly doesn't know that I love him," I said to myself, holding one of his necklaces that I found in the hall.
Quietly, I continued to sob not knowing what was to become of me, or the avatar.
Authors Note: I know, it's kind of weird for someone to have the power to read clouds. But I made this back somewhere between late 05' early 06'.
