I can feel their eyes. Always the eyes. Eyes that want me, eyes that are amused by me, and eyes that hate or fear me. It's always been the eyes.
I sharpen my blade. Iroh was making tea.
"So, are we going to talk about it?" Sokka asked.
"What?" Toph said.
"Him!" Sokka yelled pointing at me.
I ignore him. I continue sharping my sword.
"There's nothing to talk about." I say.
"Nothing? You killed them!" Sokka yelled.
"Done it before. I'm a champion after all." I say.
"What? Burn treats you like a pet." Katara said.
"That's because he is a pet." Toph said.
"Thank you for clearing that up." I say.
"My pleasure." Toph said eating crab puffs.
I ignore them. They were still staring at me. Katara walked over. She examined my wounds.
"Your chest. I can help." She said.
I push away from her.
"Like you have before?" I ask.
She looked at me.
"What do you mean?" Katara asked.
"It's better that I just stay here. Not like I have a choice anyway." I say.
"We need you to teach Aang fire bending." Toph said.
"No you don't." I say.
I put the sword back into my case. I turn.
"Prince Zuko all your decisions have led up to a point. Do you really wish to be her pet?" Uncle asked.
"I don't have a choice." I say.
"There is always a choice. You are either too afraid to let go our hold on." Uncle said.
Sometimes his wisdom was pointless, but he did have a point. I was afraid to cross Burn. After all, she murdered her sisters and presumed the throne.
