Yuri's Point Of View
As he reaches down to help me up, he gasps and clutches his head. That movement hurts his arm, so he clutches that too, and that hurts the other arm, so he just sits down. "Are you alright?" I ask, knowing well what the answer would be.
"No."
Bluntness. What a great quality.
"Uh… If I was a water bender I could get you some ice."
"Your point?"
"Never mind." I say. "It's called humor."
He grumbles while I try to find something to do with his arm. I know I am hurting him, but he doesn't have to be so rude. "Didn't your mother ever teach you how to heal??" He asked.
I look up at him with cold eyes. "No."
"What happened to her?" He asks, noting my tone.
"War." I answer, somehow feeling that I should say this, though it is not true.
"I'm sorry." He says. "My mother left me when I was little. I don't know what happened—" he cuts off, and I know he is trying to stop himself from crying.
"I'm sorry." I echo.
"No, you're not. You have no idea what it's like to loose the half the people that actually love you."
"Half? Try loosing all of them. You still have Iroh."
"My Uncle is somewhere… I don't know where. He could be anywhere…"
"That day…" I ask. "Did you run away?" I ask Zuko, already knowing the answer.
"Uh… No. I got the scar after my mother left. I wasn't born with it. My father… Well, let's just say it was a gift from the fire lord." He paused, as if something had just hit him. "Why don't you know all of this? You're Fire Nation, aren't you?"
CRAP!!! "Uh…. My parents did not go to the uh, duel. They just sat at home with me. Remember that I am two years younger than you, Zuko, and that I wouldn't remember all of this." I am making all of this up as I go along. "My mother died two years later. That's when I ran away to the southern air temple."
"How did you get up there?"
"I climbed." At the look of astonishment on his face, I added, "I know it sounds ridiculous, but there were plenty of footholds and caves for shelter. Also some minor pathways."
"Why haven't you learned to control your bending yet?"
"No one taught me." I say through clenched teeth. I am tired of all these questions. "Honestly, Prince, I don't want to talk about it."
"Sor—"
"Forget it. Is there a place that sells ice?"
"Um yes, but I don't know where."
"You are sooo helpful." He snorts and looks the other way.
"I am a banished PRINCE. Well, I haven't exactly been here in quite some time, seeing I would be killed."
"Ok. But do you have any money? I sorta never had any."
"How did you buy your clothes?"
"Uhhhhhhhhh….."
"What?"
"I pick-pocketed you." I say with a grin.
"What?!"
::Allegra's P.O.V.::
"So…I can help Aang with his water bending." I say.
"Actually we have the water bending under control. All we need in fire and earth." Katara tells me.
"Okay." I say and go into the tent. I see Sokka and he shoots me a glare.
"I'm sorry I'll leave, okay?" I say and start to leave.
"Wait…what?" he says.
"I said I'm sorry I will leave." I tell and leave the tent all the way and walk into the forest.
I sit down on the floor and start to sing. I'm not very good at singing but I'm not the worst.
It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care
I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
Thats coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
Once upon a song
Now I know your not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you
I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind
"WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!" someone rudely says to me. I realize there is a shadow above me and I look up. I sigh in my head and think, 'Pitiful. I meet Jet when Yuri likes him.'
"Nothing. And no I'm not part of the fire nation. I am part of the avatar's group and I'm a water bender." I say not bothering to get up.
"Well…my names Jet." He says sticking a hand out. I take it and he pulls me up.
"Allegra. And it's a pleasure." I say.
I slowly start walking back to camp.
"Wait…" he says.
"What?" I question innocently.
"Me and the avatar's group aren't that friendly on terms right now so wanna come on a walk with me?" he asks. 'Why not? Sokka is mad and I think Katara is jealous and Aang is still sick.' I think and shrug and say,
"Sure." I walk away with him and grins without me knowing.
