Fire Over Water

"Uncle, what's wrong with me. It feels as if im drowning. No matter ho hard I try to ge t to the surface, something keeps pulling me down."

"What are you talking about I don't see any water."

"You don't?"

"What is really bothering you Prince Zuko?"

"Father."

"Pardon me prince Zuko, I don't understand."

"He isn't going to take me back. I realize that now. I'm done catching the Avatar. I'm only wasting my time."

"If that's what you want Zuko. Now have some tea."

"No Uncle! I'm going to bed."

"Good night."

I hated lying. Usually I'm a very blunt person. I don't' have the courage. Living a lie, finally meeting someone, who can love me. Who understands me. It feels good to be loved. My whole life all I ever wanted was my fathers love, his prasie. I thought if I caught the Avatar he'd forgive me let me back in reclaim my name my honor as Prince Zuko. I can't do that now. She needs me and I promised her i'd be there for her and her friends to aid them against the fire nation.
