CHAPTER 16…OR 17
DEPENDING ON IF YOU ADD THE PROLOUGE AS A CHAPTER…ANYWAY
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Please review.
Zuko stared out at the horizon, he was in shock. Cobra had never in the many years that he had known her showed anger towards him in such a pure form before. Sure she had given him anger glares, or used an angry tone with him but she had never physically harmed him before. It is some of my fault though. Zuko thought with shame remembering how he had talked to her and what he had said.
"Prince Zuko." Iroh said from behind Zuko. Zuko didn't turn around instead he continued to watch the sun rise, his uncle didn't say anything else, instead he came to stand beside the troubled Prince and together they quietly watched the sun rise.
"I..I said some terrible things to her uncle." Zuko admitted ashamed yet at the same time angry with her for not seeing things from his point of view. Iroh wisely didn't say anything to the troubled Prince instead he waited patiently for Zuko to speak again. "I don't think she's ever going to forgive me…but why couldn't she see things my way?!" Zuko said his temper flaring, Iroh remained silent simply letting the young Prince vent. "I hope you know what you are doing Cobra." Iroh thought as he watched the distraught young Prince go down to his room to mediate.
{COBRA P.O.V.}
Cobra continued towards the Fire Lady at a steady pace she was shaking mentally and physically by all that had happened. Suddenly Cobra realized the forest was quit to quit Cobra turned and something hit her in the head hard knocking her out.
Blackness, death, a child's scream, pain panic. Where am I? Cold…so cold. Another scream this one closer, twirling, color's flashes of light. Pain in my side, screams…where are they coming from. Breathe, I can't see…Mother! Where are we. Blood, swirling around me covering me, I can't breathe! Where am I? Why can't I bend? More pain. Swirling colors getting closer, a buzzing sound…darkness.
Cobra woke from her nightmares slowly keeping still and continuing to take slow steady breaths as she listened trying to figure out what had happened. She could hear several hear-beats near her and many more spread out in a hundred foot radius. "I must have been taken captive." Cobra realized she tried to pull on her bending but her body refused to co-operate so she opened her eye's ready to meet whatever fate awaited her. What she saw surprised her almost as much as it surprised the person who was just reaching for her a wet towel folded and ready to place on her head. "Wh.." Cobra lifted a hand to her throat surprised even more by how raspy her voice was. The female that had been getting ready to put the wet towel on her fore-head begin to holler for a Doctor while she came closer to the bed-stricken Cobra. "Shh. Here take a drink of this. You're okay, You're in the Hidden Valley of the Lost Village. Now here drink up." The woman said kindly bringing a cup to Cobra's lips. Cobra sniffed and smelt something sweet in the water. Realization set in, and Cobra made use of her un-tied limbs as she flung her arm out splashing the water into the face of the woman who was holding the cup. The woman screeched and fell backward clawing at her face. Cobra stood and ran for the door, realizing her worst fear had come true. She was stuck in her mind, and she was going to have to face herself, her other-self. "Whoever win's gets total control over this body." The other her hissed from the doorway Cobra had just ran from. Cobra took a deep slow breath and prepared herself for battle. A battle that she didn't know if she could win.
