Chapter 3

The word brought shock to me and caused me to turn my eyes away from my captor to the door, and there stood Iroh staring.

Before I knew what was happening I was almost completely free. Sure, he still held my wrists tightly and had next to no chance of escaping, but this gave me a bit more hope of getting away. Not that getting out of the room would help much; the ship was full of guards and surrounded by nothing but water for miles!

"What is going on here?"

Iroh sounded beyond angry. I looked up at Zuko and saw a…ashamed? look on his face. His expression caused me to smile lightly before I could remind myself of the situation I was in. While mentally scolding myself I started to try and free my hand and to my surprise they were released. This was when I started to listen to Fire Nation Royals screaming.

"How dare you Prince Zuko, to attack a defenseless young girl!"

"Are we talking about the same peasant? Because she single handedly took out HALF MY MEN!"

The screaming kept on going and gave me a perfect chance to escape, a chance I had to use. I silently moved into the shadows, shrouding myself in darkness so that only those looking carefully could see a vague outline of my upright body.

Slowly I crouched down and moved along the shadows, becoming one with them. If I had been less concentrated on hiding I might have seen the burst of fir coming my way, unfortunately, I didn't.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

My high pitched scream echoed through the room as I stared in fear at the spot where, mere seconds ago, a wall of fire had appeared. I let my hand rise to my face to study the small burns on my hurting fingertips. I looked at them in shock; I'd never been burned before.

Absentmindedly my other hand collected water from the air and made it glow. The two hands move towards each other and the moment they touched each other I felt the pain flow away from me, out of my body; making me moan and close my eyes.


A/N- I'm really sorry it took this long and to be honest I really don't like this chapter. I got kind off stuck and still am so if you have any ideas PLEASE tell me! Also please review, even though it was a pretty bad chap.
