Sister's Promise

Untitled Part 1

The war is over and Princess Azula has been sentenced to prison for treason against the crown. A month has passed since then.

"Your highness the princess isn't doing too well," says a worker.

"What do you mean she isn't doing too well?" asks Zuko

"The princess has lost her senses, she is talking like you are there and is laughing constantly. She is talking about your late mother." says a worker

"Take me to her now." says Zuko

"As you wish Fire Lord," says a worker.

He leads Zuko to the asylum where Azula is in a straight jacket in a wheelchair.

"Oh Zuzu! There you are! See! I told you, you think I'm crazy but my brother is here. Oooo Zuzu it's mean to keep your sister waiting. I have been trying to talk to you have you heard?" asks Azula

"No I haven't. *to a nurse* Why is my sister in a straight jacket?" asks Zuko

"It is just precaution to help her," says the nurse.

"She isn't crazy." says Zuko

"Sire...she snapped she is acting like she doesn't have fire bending. She doesn't even know what that is," says the nurse.

"Fire bending isn't real! Zuzu tell them!" says Azula

Zuko looks at his sister sadly and confused.

"Leave me with my sister," says Zuko.

They don't want to but they know better then to argue with him.

"Yes fire lord," says the workers and nurses.

They leave him to his sister, he brushes a lock of her hair out of the way.

"Azula, fire bending is real," says Zuko.

"No it isn't! They can't do it! So it's not!" says Azula

"Shh shh. Look here, watch me," says Zuko.

He fire bends a little flame in his hand, she blinks and it brings back a little bit of her memory.

"It is real..but Zuzu..the moon took it away," says Azula.

"For a little bit." 

"I don't like it here. You have to get me out of here! They keep on shocking me! It hurts!" 

"I will do what I can. Just do as they ask for now. Mom's gone Azula. You know that." 

"Dad showed me where he took her. I don't know if she is alive but mom. *She shakes her head* Ooo Zuzu mom was so beautiful."

"Yeah she was, you have her eyes." 

He places his forehead to hers gently.

"I will get you out of here." 

"You promise?" 

"Yeah. Hang tight." 

"It's scary so scary." 

"I know shh." 

The nurses come back and leave with Azula. Who looks at it as a ride for a long time, Zuko didn't even have time to say goodbye to Azula. He sighs and goes back to working on the reports he has to do, then gets to his father's report, he has been pushing away his fathers reports. Here he has to come too, he looks and sees that he has tried to escape on multiple occasions to the point that they had to bind him.

"Father...if you just stay there, your sentence won't be as long as it is now," says Zuko,to himself.

He knows he has no room to talk as he was an escaped prisoner at one point, he shakes his head. He finishes those reports before getting to his sisters reports. He sees that she has self harmed with her hair piece to try to get into the infirmary to escape. They took away her hair pieces, which makes sense why her hair was down when Zuko saw her. He does wonder if she was faking it to try to escape then his eyes go into shock when he reads more reports.
