2. Chapter 2

Chapter One

Cobra stared out at the city from her spot on top of the Fire Nation's Capital Building. Underneath her slept the next Fire Lord and Lady as well as their three year old son. Cobra had been in and out of the house many times as she had been in and out of almost all the homes her in the Fire Nation. Cobra was now five and already she was on the most feared list of people in every corner of the world however stealing, killing, lying, death and dying they all grew boring and Cobra grew tired of doing the same thing all the time so Cobra had taken a break from her normal life and found out many things she would never have noticed otherwise. The mask that had always concealed Cobra's face even from herself was the only thing that remained from her past. It had been seven months ago when Cobra had been parted from her mother, seven months since Cobra had gained her freedom.

A slight rustle of clothes filled the air and touched Cobra's ear causing her ear to twitch in the direction of the noise. She took a deep sniff, seven men all fire benders and heavily armed, they smelt like death and they were heading towards the center of the building where the living quarters were. Cobra smirked underneath her mask, *Why not make things interesting?* Cobra thought as she silently slipped down the roof and twisted her body through an air vent before silently landing on the floor of the first room. A curious mix of pine, and smoke encompassed Cobra as her feet lightly touched the floor. Cobra shrugged it off and began to move through the house having been through twice before she knew exactly where to turn and which shortcut's to take until she was four minutes ahead of the seven fire benders. The slight rustle of a piece of silk clothes as well as a quite gasp caused Cobra to whirl around looking for the sound while cursing herself for letting down her guard at the thrill of a hunt. A young boy stood there, his black hair falling down in bangs right above his golden eyes in his right hand was a blanket, in his left hand a small stuffed animal. "Who are yew?" He demanded as he stared at Cobra. Cobra started forward intent on stopping this boy from making any noises to alert her prey but with each step she took the wish to cause harm to the boy faded. Cobra tried to shrug it off as she stood barley a foot from the boy and gazed down into his sun colored eyes. All the sudden something in Cobra clicked, she knew then that she had just met her mate, in Cobra's old clan it was normal for children to meet their life-mates at an early age so they could grow up together. Her mother had told her of it but Cobra hadn't thought that it would be possible for her to find her mate and yet here he was. The sound of seven pairs of feet trying to find their way in the dark reminded her of why she was here. "Be quite and stay here." Cobra whispered to the boy as she turned around to go toward the noise. A small hand grabbed her wrist causing her to turn back towards the boy. "Im pwince Zuko. I do what I want!" The little boy insisted loudly. Cobra heard the footsteps freeze and then start coming towards them. "Shh! Listen there's people here that are going to try and harm you I need you to be quite and stay here. Whatever you do don't leave this room. Understand." Cobra whispered as she picked Zuko up in one smooth movement and placed him behind one of the many decorative side tables in the room.

Zuko stared at Cobra and asked one final question. "Will you come back?"

Cobra nodded, whirled around and left the room without a sound.
