-Road Trip!-

We where back on the road me being in the middle of the two. Iroh kept complaining that the poor Ostrich Horse couldn't hold all of our weight witch really annoyed Zuko and i was just laughing at the two

"Alright fine! We take a break!" Zuko finally gave in

"Great, time for tea" Iroh jumped of the animal followed by me and Zuko

We where just settling down when a group of fire nation guys surrounded us they where sitting on rhinos and each had a different weapon

"Ah the rough Rhinos always nice to see old friends" Iroh said taking a sip of his tea me and Zuko where already standing in fight stands

"We came to arrest you for treason against fire lord Ozai" the man who appeared as the leader announced his eyes went to me "crimes against the fire lord won't be forgiven even if you rose up from the death"

"Oh i didn't expect them to" i said taking out 2 throwing knifes

The rough Rhinos attacked first, a guy with a bow send a arrow on fire towards Zuko who easily dodged it

I made my hands heat up and the 2 throwing knifes catch fire, i throw them towards the leaders Rhino the knifes hit the animals eye and the other right under his eye

The beast cried out in pain as it started to try its hardest to get the man of his back, i made a fire whip whipping his legs an the animal ran off

The next guy attacking me was a bomber. He kept throwing bombs at me where i jumped away from just in time

Fire came from my fists and his pouch with bombs cached fire he tried desperately to stop the fire but it was to late and he blew up

Iroh insisted to finish his cup of tea before we left after a lot of complaining from Zuko we finally left

This time i was in front Zuko behind me and Iroh once again on the back

"Always nice to see old friends" Iroh said

"Do you have any friends that don't instantly attack you?" Zuko asked annoyance in his voice

"Hmmm friends that don't attack me..?" Iroh mumbled to himself and i burst out laughing

We had been walking for hours now and i started to get tired, a yawn escaped my mouth

Zuko took the reins from my hands and pushed me in his chest "sleep, i won't let you fall" he assured me

I wanted to protest but i was to tired for it, i leaned into his chest and closed my eyes drifting into sleep once again

My parents laughed at me there burned faces staring at me my mothers hand grabbed the front of my shirt

"Don't cry" she said
"Don't cry"
"Don't cry"

She kept repeating the same thing over and over again, i just wanted to curl up in a ball and scream at them to leave me alone!

Suddenly i felt my fathers burned hands push me and i was falling towards a lake

My body made contact with the water and i tried to get back to the surface, i never learned how to swim!

Panic filled me my instincts kicked in and refused to let me open my mouth, i started getting dizzy my head was aching like it could explode any moment, finally my mouth opened and the pain disappeared, it actually was kind of peaceful. Everything went dark and then really bright

My eyes snapped open and i was back on the Ostrich horse

"Hey you okay?" I heard Zuko asked he had one hand on the reins an the other pulled me against his chest
