"Zuko" I shook my head,
"Katara I can't talk about it not now" I said,
"Zuko now maybe the only time for you to get all your thoughts out in the open before facing your sister" I glanced at her momentarily again and released a sigh.
"What do you want me to say Katara you know everything already" I said softly,
"No, I don't want you to tell me anything I want you to tell you the truth I want you to say everything that you are feeling right now you have to let yourself know what is real and what isn't before you can truly trust your instincts and feelings." I looked at her as all the words collided with my mind,
"Katara has anyone ever told you how smart you are for someone your age?" I asked her she blushed slightly smiling at me,
"You know Zuko I believe you are the first one to notice that besides my grandmother…thank you, besides you can't go into battle with your mind on other things it's not the smart thing to do considering if you are distracted for even the slightest of moments it could cost you your life" She said softly. I looked at her and smiled slightly,
"Yes…my uncle has also taught me that, I guess I've been ignoring it for some time worried about Kiki being out there alone…sort of reminds me of when I was younger and was worried about my mom a lot of the times" I explained.
(Kiki POV)
I awoke with the sun shining on my face I blinked a few times because it seemed brighter than normal and moving. I shot into a sitting position and glanced around, that's not the sun I'm looking at…it's the comet…it's huge I thought to myself as I looked back up at the sky again it was getting darker and darker by the minute, I released a heavy sigh and pushed myself into a standing position readying myself for what was about to come. I headed quickly back into the center of the fire nation wearing the fire nation clothes that I had taken off of someone's drying line a couple of days ago. I was wearing a red halter top that was clinging to my body slightly it revealed my stomach I was also wearing a matching red skirt with slits going up the side and shorts underneath. My long brown hair was pulled into the usual style of a fire nation bun I was also wearing a gold bracelet on my upper arm, I had my blades crisscrossed at my hips. I was watching everyone as I walked they all seemed to be in a good mood walking and laughing like it was a holiday, I gritted my teeth as I made my way towards the palace. No matter what happens to me today I will make sure that Zuko and the others are safe from Azula's rage, I thought to myself. I walked through the front gate and a guard stopped me,
"Who are you?" he asked scanning me with his eyes,
"I am a helper I have been called to help get Princess Azula prepared to become Fire Lord" I said bowing my head slightly, he grunted slightly
"Very well follow me, we can't have you wondering around the halls and court when everyone has business to do, this is a big day for us" he says in a proud voice as he led the way into a twist of hallways. He stopped outside a door, "Princess Azula shall be here after she is done with her bath" he said I bowed my head again.
"Thank you" I said as I stepped into the room closing the door behind me I waited until I heard his footsteps fading away, when I couldn't hear them any longer I slipped out of the room and crept around the halls. I gritted my teeth as I couldn't remember my way back to the front gates where I know Azula would go to inspect that no one was trying to sneak in and ruin her day. I had just taken a left turn down a hallway when I heard the familiar voice of Azula the acid in my stomach boiled with anger as she sounded so happy and calm. That should be how Zuko's voice sounds he shouldn't have to deal with any of this just because he was born in a family of lunatics I thought to myself. I spotted Azula as she turned the corner I quickly bowed my head down, "Princess Azula, I have come to aid you for your crowning today" I said quickly and quietly. She stopped in front of me and looked me over; I stood in silence waiting for her to answer,
"Very well come along" she said as she walked past me I remained bowed until she was fully past me and stood falling into line with a group of other women that I assumed was here to help her look presentable. I walked in silence studying the way the other girls seemed excited about being there to help the fire lord to be; I glared a hole in the back of her head. I felt a hand on my left shoulder and I glanced sideways looking at the young girl that was walking there she leaned forward,
"I understand how you feel but if she or one of these many clones see you glaring at her you're going to get thrown in the dungeon for being a traitor or something" she whispered. I could only make out the honey brown of her eyes the rest of her face was covered with a silken looking face cover that had golden beads running along the outer lines. She reached into her pocket and pulled out another face covering and handed it to me giving me a wink, I smiled nodding and placing it onto my face clipping it on.
"Thank you" I whispered back, I continued to follow them until we entered what looked like it could be a school house back in my village, I realized that it wasn't just any room but it was indeed Azula's bedroom she walked and say down in a chair in front of a mirror. I stood off to the side as the girls before me started brushing her long brown hair after a couple of minutes Azula's smile faded and she started glaring in the mirror. She stood up and starting screaming enraged the girls backed up quickly as she stood up the chair falling over and throwing the brush at the mirror. There was a loud crash as the mirror broke and pieces fell to the ground,
"GET OUT!" she screamed, "None of you are here because you are my friend get out of my room and my palace get out get out get out" she screamed. The girls were scared running from the room I stood there watching her as she was breathing heavily, "What are you still doing here? I told you to get out" she hollered.
