Dying to Live: Chapter 5
Mornings. Oh how Azula loves felling the rush of energy in the dawn of a new day. It was an out of body ecstasy that always follows. Mornings where when the Princess could feel her energy coming from with in her soul. Over pouring into her fist as she practiced her forms.
Pure white-hot flames of energy manifesting into the air. Bending it to her whim. Her element. Her power over everything. A wonderful feeling that was almost never surpassed. Almost…
She paused after finishing a bending form. Her fists gracefully fall to her side. A small beautiful, uncorrupted smile appeared on her profile. She continued her already perfected bending unaware of a figure approaching her blind side. Her forms brought her to go 180 and she was confronted by a brooding soul.
"Good morning, Mai." She spoke smiling as she finished with flames dancing along the earth.
"I need to speak with you." The Fire Lady never wavered. Her eyes spoke disapproval but the princess was oblivious to this. She was still feeling the powerful energy of the early sunrise.
"Really? Did my brother get tired of you, already?" She smirked turning in her forms. Nothing was going to get the Princess of the Fire Nation down. Today was a great day to be alive.
"No. This is a more serious matter."
"Everything is a serious matter to you."
"Azula stop." The Fire Lady commanded to the princess. Azula puzzled, then a little ferrous that her once servant speak to her in such a matter, "I don't want you seeing Ty lee."
Azula was stopped dead in her tracks. This was a command. A command from her Lady. The way she spoke those words. Demanding yet concerned. What had the Lady to be concerned about? Azula scuffed.
"Whatever I do is no concern of yours." A few fire sparks formed at her finger tips unknowingly to their owner.
"Ty lee is my concern." She stated never wavering, "I don't want to see her hurt." Azula growled turning away from the Lady. "She has already had her heart broken." The princess felt pain but did not show it. "By you from the many years you have used her. Us-"
"We where kids. And look where you are now oh Fire Lady!" and adding as in proof, "I would never hurt her." Not knowing if she acutely felt what she spoke she started to walk away.
"You did already. What has changed?" the question fell heavy into the thick air. The Fire Lady stood relaxed then tighten as an idea came from her own lips, "Do you love her?"
Pausing in a stance the once great princess was unaware of her own emotions. This thing called love…love…
The Fire Lady continued in her questions, "I would have not come here today if I had not spoken with Ty lee, this seems more then just a friendly game. I thought that maybe you were true, but I cannot disregard my intuition. I care for you both but I'm afraid… don't put her threw another disappointment."
Another disappointment. She did everything in her power many years ago to make sure nothing ever happen to her. To her and Mai both. Azula would never disappoint Ty lee, right? Never…
"I think that I must take my leave, my Lady." She turned away from her.
"This is your last chance Azula." The Fire Lady spoke every word with meaning, echoing threw the open field. "If you really do care, leave and be at peace."
A/N: Mai I think really does care for both Ty Lee and Azula. Of course in this fanfiction world as just friends. wink
