Dying to Live: Chapter 3
She pauses listening to soft footsteps down the hall. Their voices becoming clearer and closer. The parade and festivities finally over, the couple now took a romantic stroll around the grounds.
Azula stepped against a pillar watching them as they came closer. They talked about the most boring of stuff! Azula huffed. It's their wedding night shouldn't they be making their way to their chambers? Well this is a good time as any-
Azula grabbed Ty lee roughly, pulling her close and covering her mouth with a hand. Azula grinned evilly, she final caught Ty lee at her own game. Ty lee struggled only to have one of her arms behind her back as Azula slightly gained leveraged.
"Quiet." Azula hushed into the other woman's ear. "You'll wake up the whole Palace."
Ty lee responded with a nod. Azula still hasn't let go. She was watching the couple as they turned down the hall. Of all the times Ty lee…Azula removed her hand from Ty lee's mouth but still held onto her.
"What are you doing here?" Azula demanded harshly.
"Azula I just came-" Azula covered her mouth again as she herd a patrol coming. Now was not the time to get caught. This just has to be the night when the guards didn't slack off. Damn the patrol was not leaving. Ty lee shifted, elbowing the princess on the side.
"Ouch…" she growled. Shit. The guard was coming closer to them. Just wonderful. Like this has to happen. Everything she plan's always go to- Azula didn't even think her new plan threw as she turned Ty lee around and kissed her.
"Who's- Oh sorry…" the patrol blushed, stumbling over his own feet.
Azula watched him with one eye as he rushed down the halls. Finally they're alone. Wait a minute what was she thinking? She roughly pushes Ty lee away, whipping at her mouth. She couldn't believe she just did that. Now that the moment has past she thought of various things she could have done. All of them, not involving kissing Ty lee.
"Don't look at me like that." Azula demanded. Ty lee was quiet. This was a first. She also had a soft smile on her face. Azula wished she wouldn't do that, turning around not to look at the other woman.
"Like what Azula?" she sing-song along following the other woman down the halls.
They make it to Azula's room. Ty lee is still skipping, humming to her self. It's an old Fire Nation nursery rhyme. One that Azula's mother would sing. She didn't know Ty lee knew it.
"I sing with devils and dance with angels," Ty lee sings entering Azula's room. She pulls Azula into a dance. "They're all the same to me," she whispers into the princess' ear. Humming along as they dance. "Spinning deep into the charts of stars…" Azula steps away from the giddy girl as she spins around the room. Now she felt dizzy. Dancing was not such a great plan. "Fire in the sky will light my way…"
"You ruin everything Ty lee." Azula cuts the nursery rhyme short, sighing as she fell onto her bed.
"What did I ruin, Azula?" she puzzles turning her head to one side.
"Nothing." Azula barked smothering her self with one of her pillows. Maybe she should just give up. It's not like the girl will ever stop. Just why has she been around. Maybe she's lonely now that Mai went off and got married.
After several minutes Azula notice Ty lee as not spoken a word. She threw the pillow to the side. Two bright eyes were looking down at her.
"Something wrong?" Azula ask. Ty lee just smiled and shook her head. "Then why do you have that face?"
"I was born with it." She obviously spoke, still she smiling down at the princess.
"Will you-" her voice was muffled as Ty lee kissed her. This is something new? Azula's mind was not connecting to anything. All she knew was that Ty lee's lips where against her's. Just like before. What was going on?
"You're silly." Ty lee blushes as she lends back up. Azula still lies there, in confusion. Why was Azula silly, she wasn't the one that kissed her… "Well I should go…" she started to make her exit. "Good night Azula." Her voice sounded slightly sad as she left.
Azula's mind was now focused only on the other woman. Her head felt light and her stomach gave her a butterfly feeling. What on earth is she thinking?
A/N: Yes we find out why Ty lee has been acting different. The Question is will Azula truly change her plans to overthrow the Fire Lord? (I made up the nursery rhyme)
