I know you are all dying inside to know what happens so…

Zuko's point of view.

"What?" I yelled as loud as I could.

"Lulu was hit with lighting. She was fighting off Oazi's warriors. She is in the infirmary now." He bowed his head. "She tried her best but she barely knows air and," That was all I heard because I was storming off to the infirmary. I was rushing and muttering to myself. If anything happened to her I would… I can't think about this. And I picked up my pace.

Lulu's POV

I woke up in a bright white room. My head was pounding and I felt like my stomach was on fire. Someone was clutching my hand, I tried to sit up and fell back down.

"Lulu!" Zuko shouted, he sounded both relived and frantic. He pulled me into a hug and I tried not to cry. It hurt.

"Uh…Zuko? You need to go fight." Aang's voice came from behind him. Aang tried to avoid my eyes and he looked sad. He finally released me and turned to Aang.

"If this was Katara would you leave and go fight?" He screamed at Aang, he looked down. "That's right!" I took a deep breath and tried to speak.

"…" Nothing came out. I tried again. "Go." I whispered taking most of my energy. He looked at me.

"I won't leave you. Not when you're like this."

"I'm o-" He put a hand on my mouth.

"Don't say okay, because you're not. I know you aren't." I closed my eyes.

"Please, go." I whispered. I heard Aang encourage him.

"Fine." He kissed my forehead.

"Go kick some warrior butt for me." I whispered. He fake smiled and left. I nurse came over and ran some water over my stomach. I winced and it helped a little. "So, what is all wrong with me?" I asked a healing Waterbender.

"Well, aside from the lighting, you have a burn on your arm, and a few minor scrapes and bruises. But you'll live." I sighed and closed my eyes. "You should be out of here by tomorrow, but you will have to take medication for a while." I nodded as she tried to fix more of my wounds. She wrapped my whole stomach in bandages.

The hours passed by slowly as I waited for Zuko and Aang to return. Finally Zuko came through the door. He had a few cuts but he was okay.

"Lulu." He came towards me.

"I will be out of here by tomorrow." I told him. He nodded and brushed my bangs out of my eyes. "What happened out there?" I asked him. He made a face.

"We have most of them in custody. But not Ozai." My face fell. I sat in silence for a moment. Until he spoke up. "Hey, Lulu? Why did you fight instead of finding me?"

"If I would have come to get you, they would have been right behind me. This way me and the guards held them off." He sighed.

"Don't put yourself in harm's way to protect me." He told me.

"That is my job. I have to. I should have been stronger and more focused." I took a breath. "It is my fault I am in here."

"No it isn't." I shook my head.

"What is the Avatar's job?" I asked him, trying to prove a point.

"To protect the world and keep balance. I don't know what this has to do with-"

"Exactly. I cut him off, do you think that two avatars is keeping balance to the world?" I yelled but it was more of a rhetorical question. "It doesn't. I feel like I shouldn't be alive." I sighed and put my face in my hands.

"Don't say that!" He pulled my hands off my face. "I know there is a reason you were born. No one is meant to die." I shook my head.

"I've almost died a few times. Just like now. Maybe they are just having a hard time finishing me off." Now he looked angry.

"Lulu! I am not going to let you die. I do not want to hear you talking about dying any more. Aang is taking you somewhere as soon as you're better. Then Katara is going to teach you Waterbending. Toph will teach you Earthbending and I will teach you Firebending. Then you can protect the world." He stood up and walked away. I knew he was being protectve but I still felt like I shouldn't be alive.
