A/N This is like the best chapter SO much happens........

Chapter 13: The most amazingly horrible night

It was incredible. The most amazing kiss EVER. Way better than any of Aang's only because I think this kiss meant something more.

It meant love and beauty and everything that meant to you, everything about that person.

When I kissed Aang it was amazing but it didn't feel like this.

Our kiss started out so romantically. When our lips made contact, his were soft. This kiss itself felt soft. We were very gentle and made sure not to go too fast. Then we moved faster and faster until it was as if we were…making out!!

And it didn't stop until we heard about the most awful thing ever.

I was very annoyed. Our incredible, perfect, first kiss was interrupted by some guy in a stupid pointy red hat.

A fire sage or something. When we were interrupted we heard: "Fire lord Zuko! I MUST speak with you!"

And even though we were bluntly interrupted he pulled away softy and slowly and looked into my eyes which made it almost better until the man ruined the moment…again. "Fire lord Zuko, I need to talk to you now!"

"Ugh! What is it? Can't you see we're making a beautiful thing here?"

"You don't understand! Princess Azula has escaped her prison!" Our eyes widened in terror and our mouths dropped. I gasped. "What?! How? When?"

"A few hours ago. Some girl had attacked the guards with deadly daggers." at the word "dagger" my scar started to hurt. "Mai." I spat out the word like it was a curse word.

"Yes! She helped Azula escape! She freed her from the chains that held her arms and legs to keep her from bending and she practically killed every guard!

Even the ones that weren't attacking! And we're sure she's out to get you Fire lord Zuko! T

hat's what she always talked about! Escaping and taking her "rightful" place on the throne! You are to stay in the palace at all hours and you will be protected."

"What about everyone else who's staying with me? No don't answer that you WILL protect all of them as well and you WILL not let them leave either. They're all at threat of Mai and Azula."

"Of course Fire lord. They will be protected as well." the sage bowed. My heart throbbed. I started to sweat. My body shook.

Mai was out to get me and she got Azula to help her finish me off and little did Mai know that Azula would kill Zuko too.

This was terrifying. Two of the most dangerous girls I knew wanted us dead and for some reason I know I wouldn't feel protected in that palace.

On our way back to the palace Zuko saw me getting anxious. He had a worried look in his eyes. His thumb rubbed my cheek, "Hun, are you ok?"

"Well first you calling me hun made me feel slightly better, but Azula and Mai want us…dead, I know it and that's scary!" His worried look turned to a pained one. The sadness in his eyes deepened.

"Hun, please, don't be afraid. I would- no I WILL do ANYTHING to protect you from Azula and Mai. As long as I'm around they will never lay a finger on you. No I won't let it happen."

When we got back to the palace he stopped at the doors, held me close to him, and said, "Understand this, they will never, ever, EVER lay a hand on you as long as I'm there ok?"

"Ok" I hugged him tightly. I never wanted to let go. He hugged me back. He didn't want to either. He kissed me on my head.

After that we walked back to my room.

Everyone else was asleep. I guess we were at the beach a long time… I changed, but Zuko didn't look he just took his shirt off as I changed.

After I did, I walked over to him and hugged him again. He bent down a little (since he was tall and I was short-ish) and kissed me on the cheek and then whispered in my ear.

"I love you." I swear I almost fainted but I got a hold of myself.

I stood on my tiptoes, kissed him on the cheek too and whispered, " I love you too, with all of my heart."

I walked over to my bed and I could tell he didn't want to go and I didn't want him to either. He walked over and got onto my bed. I had already lay down and he lay next to me only he sat up a bit so I could cuddle up close to him.

I hugged his chest and he put his arm around me. By this point I completely forgot about Mai and Azula and fell asleep peacefully.
