I'm sick of hurting people. I'm tired of all of this. I'm furious that my mom is trying to act like everything is fine, when it's quite the opposite.

The FireLord and guards come marching in, and Nathan gives me a curt nod. Somehow, I manage to ignore the searing pain in my leg and get up.

I can't hurt him. Not Nathan...

But I have to. They won't let me live if I don't. But really, what's the point in living? I'm broken. An empty shell of my old self. Nathan won't love me anymore once he realizes. And I'll be alone. What's the point?!

Nathan is impatient, seeing that we only have little time. Slapping me hard in the face, my shadows entangle him, leaving him struggling in streams of darkness. I turn him upside down.

My father laughs. "Maybe you aren't hopeless. You don't even have fresh control serum in your system," he says. I flinch. I hate the control serum.

I struggle as guards seize me, stabbing two with a needle sharp shadow. But a needle eventually plunges into my neck, bringing me and my shadows into a sedative state. My wounds are treated in the war ship.

How was this a good plan again? Oh, sure, mom. Make up a plan that'll send me into immense torture once again.

The image of Nathan crying flashes across my mind. I've never seen him cry. And all I did was glare at him like he was some vicious animal.

He's not real. Nothing can be trusted.

But that's not true. Whether I like it or not, I deep trust automatically forms from him, even though he may not trust me. (Which might be good, since I'm currently trying to kill everyone).
