The Flames of the past (Avatar: Zuko love story)

Chapter 44: Surprises

With big eyes Camillia looked at her little sister, her whole body was shaking. "How dare you to show your face to me?"

Mia frowned. "What do you mean?"

"You have betrayed us! Our family, everyone! Joining mom and the Fire Nation," Camillia yelled, "IF I wasn't here I'd have killed you!"

"Calm down!" Mia yelled quickly, "I got brainwashed, recently and when I left Ba Sing Se, Zuko and I-"

"-Who?" Camillia interrupted her.

"Oh, Lee I mean, Zuko is his second name..." Mia said awkwardly.

"I don't believe you." Camillia said.

Mia sighed loudly and got angry. "I am wearing prisoner's clothes and I have no key! How am I going to get myself out of here then?!"

Camillia didn't say anything, she had her arms crossed over her chest, looking at the other way. "Where are the others?" Mia asked quietly.

"Myriam fled with them, Bohai wanted to stay with me, but... I let them arrest me, so the others could get away."

Mia nodded slowly. "Where are they now?"

"Only the spirits know," Camillia said, "I was actually on the way, looking for you. I escaped in the previous prison but they caught me and i got brought here," she sighed, "they knew I was your sister and part of the resistance." Mia and Camillia sat down on the cold stones of the dungeon-looking cell. "What brings you here then?"

"The Avatar, his friends and I were at the Western Air Temple. We had planned an invasion on the Fire Nation Capitol first, but failed. Sokka, one of my friends, wanted to visit this prison to find his dad, but the war prisoners ain't here. We planned an escape mission, but failed as I recall now." With an open mouth Camillia stared at Mia, in shock.

"By the way, Lee and his uncle Mushi weren't Lee and Mushi..." Mia said slowly, "they are Prince Zuko and General Iroh, the brother of Fire Lord Ozai." Camillia's eyes were now really popping out. "You were hooking up with the Prince of the Fire Nation?!"

"I was! I lived there for a while, remember? Anyway, he is here too, Zuko, he is on our side," Mia whispered and she took a deep breathe, "i will get you out of here, okay?" There were footsteps coming down and Mia put her fire out immediately. She ran towards the door, ready to attack who-ever-it-may-be, but the door just opened fully and a fragile looking guard was standing in front of it. Mia hit him in the face, not wanting to hurt him that much, and he screamed loudly. It was a familiar scream. "OUCH, MIA!" Sokka yelled, rubbing his cheek. "Sokka!" Mia yelled and she hugged him tightly.

"We are having a plan, Suki and Chit Sang-"

'-who?"

"-Just a guy," Sokka said quickly, "are already waiting at the shore. We only have to get Zuko out of the cooling cell."

"My Zuzu is in a cooling cell?!" Mia almost yelled. Camillia walked up to Mia and Sokka. "Hey." Sokka said friendly. Camillia gave a nod. "The cooling cell is close up here, the guards are having lunch time, so you can just hop along."

The three left the dungeon, right to the cooling cells.

Sokka opened a cooling cell and Zuko was sitting there, arms crossed over his chest. "Ready to go back to your cell, now that you've learned your lesson?" Sokka asked. Zuko sighed and flames of fire escaped his mouth. "Yes, I am." He said and he looked up. "Mia!" He said happily and he stood up to hug her tight. "Get off, you are cold." Mia said while grinning. "What is your sis doing here?" Zuko asked with an raised eyebrow. Camillia narrowed her eyes, looking filthy back at him. "Long story." Mia replied.
