Author's Note:

YAY! Chapter #2 is here, finally! Sorry if it took long to update...It was a bit of a long Told from Zuko's POV...Just like one of you reviewers wanted... But here's the downside: If Chapter #2 isn't as nice as Chapter #1 well yeah sorry about that part... I don't really think I'm good at writing other characters' POV unless it's Azula's. So if you think this chapter is good or BETTER than Chapter #1 then YAY! :D :)) :) If not then aww...:(... I do not own ATLA... Thank you also reviewers, since I got more than 10 reviews in 1 day. Anyways, thank you also to the people who made this story their favorite. :) Also to people who made me one of their favourite authors... I feel like giving you guys cookies...But it's the internet so never mind...WOAH! Long-ish author's note so I'll end it right here. Hope you enjoy! :D :)) :)

"Every human deserves a second chance."
"Azula is a human, not the monster that she thinks she is."
"Whether good or bad, nobody deserves a fate as horrible as that."
"She's still my sister, and that's something no one else can take away."
"She was evil as most would say."
"Her eyes speak the truth."

Zuko's POV:

As I watched Azula fall I was consumed by both happiness and sadness.
Although we hated each other
She was still my sister,
She had a good side,
She was still a human being and every human being always deserves a second chance. No matter how evil she is.
As I continued to watch her fall I remembered...

The good times we had together,
The bad things we'd planned against each other,

All the things I've ever done to her,
All the things she's done to me,
Our relationship as brother and sister,
Our childhood,
When we were both on the same side,
When we were against each other,
And lastly, our lives and our relationships together.

After all the things I've done to her. It would hurt me the most if I saw her die. Like this. With me watching her plunge in to her death while I did nothing

It pained and it hurt me seeing her like that; it was all too much to bear.

Would she really die like this?
Nobody deserved this death. Even the most evil person in the world couldn't die just like that.

Would she really die a hurtful death?
If she died it would be my fault
I had a chance to save her. But I didn't.

Would she really die, thinking that she was alone?
That was wrong. Mom, loved her; before and after she left. But looking back she favoured me and I could tell that it pained her greatly. Mai and Ty lee, they were her friends, but looking back they were only friends of Azula because sheinflicted fear towards their hearts. But Dad never loved her. It must have pained her to think that the support she was getting was fake. I loved her. She was my sister. No matter how many times we try our best to kill each other, and no matter how many times we say that we hate each other, there will always be that feeling We can't help but love each other. No matter what.

Would she really die friendless?

Mai and Ty lee. They were her only friends. But did it really hurt her that I took them away from her? That they picked me over her?

"She-she's not gonna make it". I whispered my thoughts aloud.
Watching her fall and plunge into her death

She looked so helpless.
So vulnerable.

But as I kept watching I found out that she had formed a plan in her mind all along.
Oh great! Why was I so stupid? Thinking all those thoughts about her actually having feel- My thoughts ended there. Because I saw the vine break in half.

I saw Azula,
My sister,
The prodigy.
The favored one,
The smart one,
The clever one,
The talented one,
The perfectionist,
Plunge into her own death before my very eyes.

It was terrifying

Because when I saw that vine break in half;
When I saw that Azula would most likely die,

My blood froze.
My heart stopped pumping.
Everything in my gaze turned into slow motion.
My muscles and every part of my body refused to move.
My voice couldn't work.
And I knew that if this continued any longer it was likely that I would have a heart attack.

But even with all this happening I still felt something urging me to watch and see what would happen next.

There was a ledge below her. But Azula probably wasn't focused since when she reached for the ledge her nails just scratched against the rocky surface of it. I tried to catch her eyes. But I couldn't and when I saw them there was only the one emotion that I always least expected from her.

Fear.

Azula was capable of it.
That was one thing I knew for sure.
Uncle once said that actions and words never describe what a person feels,
but the eyes are the thing that project the feelings most— No matter how good you are at lying.
It was one of the reasons why I always knew when Azula was lying;
Not only because I grew up with her and knew her well enough but because no matter how good she is at lying, her eyes always speak the truth.

I tried to yell "Save her!" To everyone else.
But like I said.
My blood froze.
My heart stopped pumping.
Everything in my gaze turned into slow motion.
My muscles and every part in my body wouldn't move.
And my voice didn't work.

I saw her plunging deeper into the heart of the edge of the cliff .

But the next thing I saw was more shocking and had a lot more intensity than anything else throughout the entire experience. This part was more shocking than ever. Even more so than the time wherein I had to fight my father to an Agni Kai when I was only 13 years old. This part was also terrifying:

Her head hit a small ledge.
Her eyes started to close and open rapidly, as if trying to keep herself conscious.
She was dying.

I saw the looks of everyone else riding on Appa.

Toph was just looking out into the horizon facing the opposite direction.
At first I thought "Doesn't she care about my sister? Doesn't she pity her?" Until I remembered that we were in the sky and that Toph was blind.

Sokka's mouth was open wide. He looked at her with pity(I think you should use a different word since you just said pity in the last part). But a hint of hate.

Katara's mouth was only slightly ajar. Her face was set in a slight frown and her eyes glared at my sister. Typical I thought.She's mad at everyone in the fire nation, whether good or not.

Aang was just staring at Azula in pity. Not a hint of hate. His gaze was just fixed on her; like he wanted to help her. Just like what I wanted.

My blood started moving again.
My heart was finally pumping again.
My gaze turned back to normal.
My muscles and every part in my body started working again.
And when I tried, my voice worked.

"Azula no!" I screamed.

Without a second thought,
I took charge of Appa.

I was more determined than ever to save her.
She was evil most would say.
But I know she has a heart.
I know that she also deserves to live.
Whether bad or good no one deserves to die that way.

Suddenly,my hands were encased in frozen cold it felt like it could burn.

Until I realized that the only other person who's been hating the fire nation so much was Katara.

"What are you doing?" I asked her angrily trying to melt it.

"What are you doing?" She spat back.

Our gazes met each other and we both knew the same thing: What I was doing was stupid. And other than that, Azula was our enemy and for sure she'd kill us at every possible change that she could, even though we saved her. I just hoped there was some way.

"Azula is my sister. How would you feel if that happened to Sokka?" I asked her menacingly as she continued to glare at me.

"How did I get included in this argument? " Sokka asked hearing his name.

With both of the dangerous glares Katara and I gave him he silenced himself and focused back on my sister.

"Well even though she is you're sister. Did you ever consider the fact that she tried to remember the countless times she's tried to kill us"? I was about to say something else until Aang stopped the argument.

"Look. Zuko's right. Azula is human and every human deserves a second chance-"

"Whose side are you on?" Katara asked angrily, but Aang continued anyway.

"But Katara's right as well. Azula is our enemy and she's tried to kill us countless times."

This time I interrupted."Aang, seriously, whose side are you on?" But just like Katara, Aang continued with that 'Peace Speech' of his.

"But that doesn't mean that we should just leave her to die or just take her in as

someone innocent or a past friend that never did any harm." Aang finished.

"So what do we do now oh great Avatar?" Toph asked sarcastically, speaking for the first time since this melancholy experience.

Aang just ignored the question. "Hmm…Hey Sokka, do you still have those chain things that the mechanist once gave you before?" He asked.

"Course I do. That guy is a genius!" he said happily. "But still Aang, " His face grew serious. "You've gotta agree with Katara.-Azula's dangerous and we can't trust her." He said solemnly while looking for the chains.

As they talked about what to do with her I took charge on Appa again.

While I was zooming through the air to save my sister I began to think:

Were they right?

Can't Azula be trusted?

Should we just let her die?

Or should we save her?

Different voices started circling my head, saying different things but proclaiming only one message:

"When it comes to Azula, you can never trust her."

But somewhere deep the depths of my mind and my heart,
Someone saying, gently,
Not much like a whisper,
Nor a call,
But not instructing,
Just suggesting,
A voice so tender and soft.
A voice I loved to hear every day.
A voice so distant
So far away,
Saying the one message she used to say every time me and Azula fought.:

"Zuko can trust Azula. And Azula can trust Zuko. Trust is Love, Love is Family. "

Once my mother said that, it struck me like ice.
It was true.
I could trust her so she could trust me back. I trusted her that's why I could love her. I loved her and she was my Family.

And that was why I was going to save her.
