Sorry, kinda...okay, really short chapter. But i promise the next one will be longer! Please R&R!
And it continues...
"The only person t-that ever c-cared for me…w-was m-my m-m-mom, and s-she is d-dead!!!!"
I was silent for a moment then said, "I…I'm sorry. I had no idea. I just thought you…well…weren't capable of…"
"You'll be surprised if you thought I had no feelings! I'm just like you or your brother, except I'm banished from my home!" Zuko interrupted. "You have no idea what it's like to lose your mother…."
"And how would you know?! Your people are ruthless!" I screamed,"Y-your people k-killed my mother! So d-don't you talk to m-me about losing s-someone near and p-precious t-to you! I know w-
what t-that feels like! So d-don't talk t-t-to m-me like…" I broke down in sobs. Warmth, it came from my back and I realized Zuko had laid his top coat over my shoulders.
"Hey, thanks…" I whispered.
"No problem…" He shivered.
"Aren't you cold? I'll go get some wood for a fire. If you could light it, we would both have warmth."
"Okay, why not?" He said.
I jumped up and slid into the shadows. Throwing off the coat, I sprinted towards my campsite. A searing pain shot through my body as I collided with an invisible barrier.
"It's no use, my dear. I've tried." A voice cracked with age sounded behind me. "I've tried for 20 years."
I leaned on the barrier and closed my eyes. An image of Zuko and I kissing passionately shot through my head. My eyes flew open and butterflies filled my stomach.
"No, I can't! That's not what…I don't…but I do…" I stuttered.
"Hush child," The woman whispered,"This barrier only shows your hearts deepest desire. What did you see, exactly?"
"Well…I saw me and a boy, kissing, in that clearing under the willow tree…" I paused. "You don't think that will happen, do you?"
"Well I wouldn't know child, but I do know this…you may not realize, at first, that you're in love." The woman said.
I turned towards the barrier and stared into the light. I turned back around and the woman was gone.
Again, Please R&R!
