The Princess and the Peasant - (An Azula Epic)

Night Terrors

Nearly one week later into the hunt for the Avatar.

It was late at night, and Azula was sleeping comfortably in her emperor sized canopy bed.

Her personal chambers aboard the airship had been fit to her liking.

Meaning that it was decorated almost as lavishly as back home within the palace.

At least as luxuriously as possible given that it was a smaller model of airship.

The princess was sleeping quietly with a content smile upon her lips.

Only to be torn from her sleep by a hesitant knock on her chamber door.

And just like that Azula's eyes snapped open with her amber golden eyes agape in simply murderous wrath.

"Who is it!? You had better have a damn good reason for waking me up! If this doesn't involve the Avatar I will..." Azula bellowed with a venomous bite to her voice only to trail off when she heard a soft cry behind her door.

She slapped a hand over her forehead while she groaned under her breath.

She knew well enough that there was only one person who would ever so much as consider coming to cry to her door.

And try as she might she felt a sliver of grudging concern to hear the girl making such miserable sobs.

Ever since she had first begun to express a romantic interest in the girl, she had known that it would only be a matter of time before she started trying to worm her way into her bed.

"A-Azula-sama? C-can I come in?" Elle stammered with tears in her eyes while she shifted on the other side of the door.

Before Azula knew it, she was sitting up with her lips pursing into a moody scowl while her bare feet touched upon her floor.

All the while grumbling under her breathe about how her girlfriend was a cry baby.

'I can't just leave her to cry at my door! If anyone sees her...people will start to think that Princess Azula coddles her handmaids!' Azula thought before she began stomping across her chamber floor.

Elle stood in her night robes twiddling her thumbs with a saddened countenance.

Then the young girl almost jumped when the large door was thrown open.

And she found herself peering up at her mistress's beautifully angered visage.

For reasons that Azula couldn't explain she felt her anger begin to ebb the moment that she gazed down into Elle's almost traumatized amber eyes.

She couldn't help but wonder what got the girl so shaken up.

"Ugh! Just come in before someone sees you!" Azula hissed while she grasped the collar of the sniffling girl's shirt before pulling her in like a puppy that she was about to punish.

And then Elle noticeably flinched when the door slammed behind her caretaker all the while finding herself being pulled across the floor of the older girl's quarters.

"S-sumimasen..." Elle murmured while she listened to the tired woman grunt in annoyance above her.

"Would you quit your blubbering?" Azula spoke with an irate frown while she turned to glare down at her girlfriend's annoyingly depressed face.

Whereas she was usually able to halt the girl's crying with but one order.

Much to her increased aggravation her girlfriend only began to cry even more!

"I-I am trying, Azula-sama." Elle stuttered while Azula rolled her lovely amber golden eyes above her.

"You are not trying hard enough! Just get in the bed!" Azula grumbled with her arms folded over her breasts while the girl pitifully wiped at her wet eyes.
