The Bender of Two Elements (On Hiatus)

Chapter 2: Fire bending and the Avatar

-Recap-

I made a fist with both hands, brought them around my body, pushed them out, and imagined a jet of flames coming out of my hands.

Suddenly, I was overwhelmed with a blast of warmth around me and I saw a small blast of fire come out from my fists. Shocked, I suddenly heard a teacup breaking to my right.

"You-you're a firebender??!!" exclaimed Zuko.

——————————————————-

Zuko was furious.

"Why didn't you tell me you were a bender??" exclaimed Zuko.

I was still getting over my shock. How could I be a bender? I wasn't even from this world!

"I-I didn't kn-know I could b-bend" I stuttered.

Zuko's face flared with rage. He quickly turned around and stormed away from where I was. To tell Iroh, I suppose. But before he reached the door, a tall beam of light shot up from a nearby iceberg. I gasped. That must be the Avatar, I thought.

Zuko was completely at awe. His expression of rage quickly turned wonder, then determination. Suddenly, he ran over and began dragging me into the boat.

"What are you doing??" I exclaimed.

"Bringing you to Uncle. I'm sure that light is the Avatar. It has to be. You will stay under Uncle's watch until I come back with the Avatar. Is that clear?" said Zuko in a irritated way, as if I were some animal blocking his path.

I grumbled in response. There was no way I'm missing Aang. I came to this world, I might as well get the best of it, I thought.

Zuko didn't let go of me until we reached Iroh's room. He was happily sipping tea and looked so childish, I giggled in spite of myself.

"Uncle, I need you to keep a close watch on Tiffany while I'm gone. She's a firebender, she may be a spy. I am going to go after the Avatar. I will bring him back, and I will bring back my honor." Zuko finished his monologue.

Iroh started to speak, but seemed to think better not to. He either wasn't surprised I was a firebender, or did a good job of hiding it. He doesn't have a care about returning to the Fire Nation, I remembered.

Zuko left the room, with his ridiculous ponytail swinging along the way. I smiled slyly at Iroh.

"Do I really have to stay in here? I mean, where would I escape to? It's not like I would go to the South Pole or anything." I said.

Iroh winked. "Well, there is a hatch on the right side of the ship that the repairmen haven't fixed yet, I suppose you could escape there if you really wanted to." Iroh said knowingly.

I smiled. Quickly hugging Iroh, to which he seemed surprised but content about, I left his room and grabbed some of Zuko's armor that had been lying around. What, its going to be cold outside! The show didn't exactly show this, but Zuko is actually really disorganized. Everything has to be cleaned up by servants.

I ran to the right side of the ship and found the hatch Iroh was talking about. Taking a deep breath, I tried to push it open. It didn't even budge. Pouting a little, I tried again. Why do I have the worst luck, I thought. I tried using my limited firebending at the hatch. Chances are, it was just frozen shut. When I heard a popping sound, I gasped. It worked! I thought gleefully. Taking a deep breath, I pushed it open and shivered a little when I came in contact with the cold air.

By the time I walked around the ship to where Zuko was, I saw him shaking down Katara and Sokka's grandma. I sprinted over to him and wrenched him away.

"Stop! What do you think you're doing??!!!" I yelled. I completely forgot that Zuko was a jerk until season 3.

"TIFFANY I ASKED YOU TO STAY IN THE SHIP WITH IROH!" Zuko shouted with rage.

"What, and let you terrorize an old lady??!" I retorted back.

All of the Southern Water Tribe seemed bemused at our little conversation. Even Katara was looking back and forth between us in wonder.

Suddenly, Aang came sliding down from the snow. Everything happened exactly like it did in the show, and I was powerless to stop it.

I cast one last glance at the Southern Water Tribe, knowing I will not see it for quite a while. I waved a small wave to Katara, who seemed completely bewildered that someone from the Fire Nation was being somewhat nice.

I stood at the edge of the ship until the heavy metal hatch closed me off completely. Despite angering Zuko and being helpless to stop Aang from being captured, I smiled. I have a plan to get out of this ship.
