AN: So...heres the next Chapie! Hope you'all enjoy!
She heard a crash after they entered the hole. Before they had time to close the it, Ray crept in. The tunnel was sealed after her.
"I expected this kind of treachery from uncle. But Zuko, Prince Zuko. You are a lot of things, but your not a traitor, are you?" Azula spoke.
"Release him immediately." Zuko said
"It's not to late for you Zuko. You can still redeem your self."
"The kind of redemption she offers is not for you." Iroh spoke up
"Why don't you let him decide uncle. I need you Zuko. I've plotted every move of this day, of this glorious day in Fire Nation History. And the only way we win is together. At the end of this day you will have your honor back, father's love. You will have everything you want."
'No, Zuko. Don't do this. I know you can stand her, don't listen.' Ray thought, but deep down she knew he was going to go with her, even though she truly didn't want to.
"Zuko, I am begging you. Look into your heart for what you truly want." Iroh begged
"You are free to choose." Azula said and raised her hand. All of a sudden, the two agents were going up where she was. She started to panic. Since they were going up on the sides, Ray dropped flat on her stomach in the middle. They passed her without even seeing.
She heard the pitter patter of feet leaving. Then she heard more, only heavier. She ran down the tunnel and saw Iroh.
"He didn't." she said as her eyes grew wide. She knew that he chose Azula.
Iroh nodded. "I am greatly disappointed." This might have been the first time Ray had seen him this disappointed.
"Ok, I am going to try and get you out." she said. Her anger was boiling. She took a deep breath in and out, then kicked the crystal as hard as she could. Her anger pushed her more.
To both Iroh's and Ray's surprise, it cracked.
"Why don't you bend? You are a master, the youngest to master an element." Iroh asked
"I just don't." She answered as she kicked again
It cracked more. "One more kick should do it." Iroh said
Ray stood up straight and took a deep breath. She kicked harder than the times before, forcing all of her anger through her kick. It shattered and Iroh got up.
"Come on, we have to help." he said.
Ray nodded her head and they started to run in the direction Azula and Zuko went.
When they showed up, Aang fell. "Aang!" Ray screamed at the top of her lungs. Katara had yelled it at the same exact time.
Azula had an evil smirk on her face. Tears streamed down Ray's cheeks. Ray saw Katara shoot to Aang's rescue, tears were masked around her face too.
Iroh jumped down in front of Katara, who was cradling aang in her arms. "You have got to get out of here." he said. "I will hold them off as long as I can."
Iroh got into a stance to fend for himself. Zuko and Azula walked away when he was captured in a crystal cage. "Take care of them." Azula commanded.
When Zuko was out of sight, Ray jumped down and started to fight the Di Lee. There were hundreds. "I'm so sorry Iroh." she said defeated as two grabbed her arms rendering her useless.
"You didn't do anything wrong." he said as she was pushed through the pathways. His voice was repeating in her head. It was so...disappointed. And she knew what it felt like, to have family betray you. That was what her brother did, and now her supposably best friend.
"I didn't help you. I could have done more and I didn't"
"You tried and that is what counts. Don't bring yourself down Ray."
She was dragged to a ship. Threats were made when she walked slow. Instead of breaking down and crying, Ray held her head up. If she was going to be torn down like this, than let her go down in pride.
She was pushed down many halls and stairs till she was in a hall of the ship that was musty. It was dark, and she guessed that this was the prison hold.
As they walked, Rayan noticed that all of the cells were full. At the end of the hall, she saw two cells open. 'Let me guess, one for me and Iroh.'
She was right. Iroh was brought into the cell acrost her a few minutes later. It hurt her to think that his nephew left him to be down here. Or that she believed that he actually changed.
Ok, that's this chappie. I was wondering if in the near future i should have a little OC + Zuko time. Mature content. It's up to my readers...what do u guys think?
