"Ah Zuko, you're a man now you know that!"

"You've been saying that for the past 3months!"

"Yea im proud of you! That's the way to do it ! Show em whose boss."

"I have to go!"

"See ya! Oh yea when that water tribe girl comes back , let me get a turn at her k big guy!"

I hated those men! They made me sick. I felt sick. What's wrong with me. This is guilt. I need to tell someone. They can't get away with this. I may not be able to stop them or make them pay but uncle can. I silently walked the coradors. In my own little world. Trying to block out those men. There voices burned my ears if that is possible.

"Uncle, you there?"

I walked into his chambers. He is usually here at this hour. He calls it tea time.

"Uncle Iroh!"I yelled louder.

"Yes nephew im here. What is it."

"What took you so long to answer! I thought something happened….i thought.."

"You come here for a reason right? I thought you weren't speaking to me after what happened last night."

"I'm here aren't I?"

"Looks like it."

"I can talk to you right? I mean you love me don't you. I don't want you to hate me like father and Azula."

"What happened Zuko?"

"You remember the water tribe girl that travels with the Avatar?" He nodded

"When I got her on the ship after we took her. I asked the men to take her to the baracks down below the ship. When I went to question her. I saw one of the men touching her. I ordered them to stop. Then one of the men was suddenly behind me. He through me against the wall and I blacked out. When I woke up I was chained to the wall. So was girl. Katara I think her name is. At least that is what the Avatar calls her. The men were all around us. I couldn't believe they'd do this. The man that was touching Katara earlier, was clutching something in his hand. Then he shouted take your clothes off. She refuessed at first crying. Then he showed her what was in his hand. Her mothers neckalace. She cried for them to give it back. That it was the only thing she had left of her mother. The man agreed to give it to her if she took her clothes off. She started taking her clothes off. I told them to stop to give her back her neckalace. They just laughed! They told me to fuck her. That it was about time I become a man. I told them no but everytime I refused they would burn her. I couldn't take her screaming anymore So I……. I,DAMMIT"

I started to cry. I couldn't take it. I could have done something why am I soo weak. I looked up at uncle. His eyes where soft as he held me. He let me cry something my father would never do. He understood.
