not from around here | Zuko X OC

| chapter six |

I turned to see someone's armour clad chest.
"What were you two talking about!"
A familiar and sharp voice tang in my ears, making me wince slightly. I looked up at the scarred, ponytailed Prince and smirked, trying to annoy him as much as I could.
"None on your business, Princess Zuko the first." I snapped back at him, turning on my heel and walking back to my chambers.

"There's no point plotting against me! I could defeat you and that kid any day!" He shouted after me.
"Whatever you say." I retorted back calmly, not wanting to spark some kind of physical attack.

I felt a hand grab my wrist and pull me back, making me spin around. Zuko, who held my wrist in his hand, moved his arm up and made me do the same. The movement made my face moved closer to his and I could see fire in his eyes.

"You are the most aggravating, annoying girl I've ever met." He growled.
"I'm probably the only girl you've ever met." I retorted, my facial features contorting into a menacing expression.

He gave me a look that could burn someone alive but this just caused me to laugh.
I pulled my wrist out of his grasp and strutted away, hips swinging slightly from side to side, like a cat that had just found itself a lovely new prey to feast on.

I sighed as I plonked myself onto my bed.

What was that earlier. Did I waterbend? If so, then thats pretty good, I'll blend in even more around here I guess.
Being a water bender seemed like the best one that I could be, seeing as we were surrounded by water.

I didn't want to be a fire bender because I knew that they were known for their tempers and I was not anything like Zuko, although maybe I did have a slightly short string of patience.
And being an earthbender would be useless out here, in the middle of the ocean.
And then there was air. Sure air would be cool, but no air benders had been seen in around one hundred years, and being an Airbender would attract more attention to myself.

I sat up and walked to the window, looking at the ocean beneath me.
Maybe I should try waterbending again - just to check it wasn't a fluke. But where do I even start?

My thoughts continued racing through my head as I walked to the door, planning on going outside and practicing.
I wondered to the upper deck and stared out at the vast, icy sea again, breathing in the fresh and salty air.

What was going to happen now that Zuko had that avatar boy. Would they go back to the fire nation? I knew I didn't belong there so I would have to find someone else to travel with. Or I could always travel by mysel-
My thoughts were interrupted by a shout.

"SORRY! Look out!" The boy with the arrow, Aang or whatever his name was, flew past me on a orange glider. I threw myself out of the way and watched him fly away.

I jumped to my feet and back into actions as a very angry Zuko came running out onto the upper deck, stepped onto the railing of the deck and threw himself off.
Is this guy stupid??

Running to him as fast as I could, I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him back on the deck. Doing so, I stumbled and fell back, making Zuko fall on top of me.

"Owwww" I groaned as he stood.
"What are you DOING? I thought you said you were helping us!" He snapped at me, glaring at where I was laying.
"Well you're not gonna be able to get the avatar if you keep throwing yourself off of ships! What was your plan, you idiot?" I asked him, waving my arms as the deck railing and then at him.
