Only you

No trust pt.2

Song ~ Diet Mountain Dew by Lana Del Rey

"What?" Aang gasped.

"But you can't just go." Katara said stepping closer to me.

"I can and I will. I see I've over stayed my welcome and I was meant to leave when I got far away enough from Haru's village anyway." I say folding my arms and taking a step back from her. I didn't really want to leave them but I just couldn't stay I'd be better by myself.

"You'll be on you own." Aang pleaded.

"I'm fine with that. You guys have your on trip and I have." Nothing "..my own."

"Where are you going?" Katara asked not believing me.

"Somewhere important." I lied turning my head so they couldn't see my glossed over eyes.

"Guys if she wants to go she can we can't force her to stay." Sokka stated with no remorse. He wanted me gone.

"Ok." Aang sighed sadly.

My mind was telling me this wasn't right but I forced those thoughts away as I stuffed all my stuff in my bag. The accusations really hurt me but there all just kids and they make mistake just like I do. But It was too late I made my mind up I'd already said I was leaving.

I said goodbye quickly and left just like that. It was kind of relieving me not having to worry about anyone or to watch what I tell them. Being on my own was like a weight being lifted off my shoulders. Even if they were all so kind to me. Excluding Sokka.

When me and Sokka were talking he talked a lot about the fire nation and how he hated them all. It's not like it's my fault bad stuff happened to them. Bur I couldn't help but feel guilty.

"I lied to them." I had to focused on Where I was going so I wouldn't get lost.

The forest look so pretty with all the flowers and tress swaying in the wind but it wouldn't look like this at night. I should find a nearby town I had enough money to keep me going for at least 3 days.

Just then I heard a voice I recognised too well he sounded different. I guess its cause i haven't seen him in 4 years.

I peeped through the trees quietly and there he was Zuko. EWWW what is that hair style he looks like a egg I can't believe iroh let him do that.

He did look older though he had more defined features and we can't forget the scar that covers his eye. I wonder where he got that from.

"Uncle have you spotted him yet." He ask just then uncle Iroh stepped out he looked the same with his wise persona.

"yes, up north of the beach but may I ask do you even have a plan prince Zuko." Iroh asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I do actually." he said in a matter of fact tone. "We'll get the guards to surround the water peasants so the avatar will be left for me to capture then we'll tie them up and imprison them on the ship."

"Zuko there are a lot of things that could go wrong....but we shouldn't let that stop us." Iroh said.

He the one who was trying to capture Aang. When Zuko left my father didn't tell me anything about it and he forbade anyone to speak of it at home. Even Azula wouldn't tell me. I had to squeeze the information out of a maid who told me he went away to sea as punishment for talking out of tern but that's all I knew.

I should warn Aang and the others but would that be betraying Zuko. We haven't seen each other in years. I just hope he'd understand.

As I started to walk back trying to make no sound a branch snapped beneath my foot. why is it always the branch. I stopped dead in my tracks hidden through the trees to see if Zuko noticed and he did.
