Hey there! I'm soooo sorry that it has taken me soo long to post this.. I had a major case of writers block and am just now coming out of it. So, here's the next chapter! Ihope you like it!

And thank you for all the wonderful feedback! It means alot! ^^


She wakes with a start the next morning at the sudden voices outside her door, grimacing as she realizes her head still hurts. Trying to ignore the pain, she sits up and is just barely able to make out parts of the conversation.

"I'm just not sure we can trust what she's saying. Azula is known to be an incredible liar," She recognizes the voice as the man from yesterday. By now she knows that she is Azula, but only because she was told so. She still can't recall anything before waking up yesterday.

"I understand your concern Doctor, and trust me, I am just as suspicious," She tenses at the sound of his voice. There's that feeling again. By now she has figured that he must have been of importance to her. Why else would she have a creeping sense that she should know him? It was the only obvious conclusion. Well, unless she was just crazy. Though she didn't feel crazy. But what crazy person does?

"Which is why I think it'd be best if I kept a closer eye on her," Avatar Aang continues. This makes her pause. Keep a close eye on her?

"I assure you she is well guarded and looked after. If she tries anything we'll be able to handle it," The doctor tries to persuade him.
There was a pause before Avatar Aang finally replied, though she couldn't make out what he said. Something about "she escaped before,"

Escaped? Why would she need to escape? And why was everyone acting like she [was] some dangerous, crazy person who needed guarding twenty four-seven?!

God she hoped she wasn't crazy...

Shaking away her thoughts, she tried to focus on the conversation again, but they had gone quiet. Frowning in frustration, she tugs at her long dark hair.

ooOOoo

For what seems like an eternity, she is left in her room with absolutely nothing to do but stare at blank walls. How long was she going to be kept in here? She was no doctor, but shouldn't they be running tests or something to try and figure out her memory problem?

Huffing a sigh, she pushes off the poor excuse of a bed and begins pacing.

After about a minute or two of endlessly walking back and forth, she hears the door open. Turning around swiftly, she meets a pair of grey eyes.

"Good morning Azula,"

"Good morning Avatar Aang," She smiles.

For a moment he eyes her like she just grew a second head. Gosh why did everything she did confuse people so much? It was really starting to annoy her.

"Please, just call me Aang," He replies, smiling back at her, though she can tell it's forced.

"So what's up?" She asks, like this it a just a casual conversation. Again, her words receive a strange look from him.

"Um, until we figure out what's going on with your memory, we're going to move you to a more secure location," he says getting straight to the point of his visit. A million questions come to her. Where was she going? Why did she need to be moved to a "secure location"? Why wasn't she being told everything?

But she just nods, afraid that all her questions will get her is more strange looks. She didn't want to give them a reason to keep her here in this boring place.

He starts to tell her to grab her things, but before he can finish his sentence he realizes that the only things she currently owns, or at least remembers owning, are the clothes on her back. So, he motions for her to follow him.

As he leads her through a series of passageways, she receives looks from nearly everyone they pass. Some terrified, some angry, some both. She tries to ignore it, but she would be lying if she said the looks didn't bother her.

Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Aang eyeing her carefully. She smiles weakly at him, something inside telling her to put on a brave face. Don't be weak. He returns her smile but she can see the sympathy on his face. Like he feels bad for her.

Part of her wants to snap at him, saying she doesn't need anyone's sympathy. Needing sympathy would make her weak. She couldn't explain why that bothered her so much. It just did.

Another part of her wants to cry. Everyone kept stabbing accusing glares at her for reasons she didn't know. She didn't feel like a bad person but according to everyone here, that's exactly what she was.

In the end she decides to just stare at the floor as she walks. Eager to get out of this place.

ooOOoo

As they pull up to the building, she can't help but stare in awe. It was huge. She wasn't sure what she had expected but this certainly wasn't it.

The house was two stories large and had a large porch surrounding the first floor with several balcony's lining the second.

As Aang leads her up the gravel path, she eyes the stone platform she can barely see in the backyard.

A fresh blast of cool air reaches them as they enter the house. Again, she is left in awe. The inside is even more beautiful than the outside.

"Where are we?" She manages to mumble. He opens his mouth to answer but is interrupted by a woman approaching.

"Avatar Aang, welcome home," She greets as she bows.

Wait, home? We were at Aang's house?

As she rises from the bow she hands him a scroll. "The general has requested your presence at the palace,"

He eyes the scroll for a while before sighing.

"Okay, I'll be back soon. Um, Chio, would you show her around until I get back?"

That's when the girl she now know as Chio notices Azula. Again, she gets the same look that everyone gets when they look at her, then Chio looks at Aang as if to say "What the hell is she doing here?"

He gives her a look in response that tells Chio she doesn't have a choice. She was about to tell him it's no problem and that she can show herself around, but she can't seem to find her words. As the two girls watch him leave, an awkward tension enters the atmosphere. Azula nervously bits her lip as Chio avoids looking at her and motions for her to follow.

Well this was going to be painfully uncomfortable...
