Chapter 25: Rose

(Haha can't believe I remember this spongebob joke from when I was little) ^^^
Not Edited-
"I made breakfast," chirps Nathan as I groggily open my eyes. Ugh. Too early.

"Thanks," I mumble. I rub my eyes and look around. It's a pretty day, a day where you wouldn't think of an attack. The thought comforts me.

"We're almost at the edge of the forest. We'll have to pass through a Fire Nation city, but I don't think it'll take long. I sigh and pull on my black cloak.

"Okay. Let's just hope we don't find any trouble there. My foot will pay big time," I reply.

"Yeah... Why do you wear black all the time?" He asks.

Huh. Random, annoying question. "Because I don't want to be labelled to be from another country," I answer.

My mother, who I took after with looks, was very exotic in the Fire Nation. I have my father's, Fire Nation eyes, but the face and golden hair of my mother's. I like it. It means I'm somewhere in between.

After a few hours of hiking, we do find the end to the forest. I'm slightly disappointed. When I'm Firelord, I'll by that forest. I think.

"Uhh... Rose? You may want to look at this," calls Nathan, snapping me into reality. Walk over to see the paper he's holding. It's a wanted poster. Of me.

Instead of a frowning, same old wanted poster, I'm grinning in the painting. It looks like someone told me something funny.

"Would've never expected that to be the face I was wearing when they decided to paint me for wanted posters," I mumble. I put my hood up. Not exactly the best disguise, but it'll help.

As we walk through the city, we hear the current gossip of the Fire Nation.

"Did you hear? The princess is alive! They're hunting her down as we speak. We'll win the war for sure once they find her," someone says.

"We'll be rich if catch her and that boy she's running around with!" Another chimes.

Nathan is as stiff as a twig, and my palms begin to build up sweat.
