The Princess and the Peasant - (An Azula Epic)

Home

A roaring alarm rang off in the prison complex while the sounds of panicked guards shouted in the air.

Elle sat in her cold cell with her frightened amber eyes gazing up in confusion as she listened to the chaos outside of her cell.

"W-what is happening?" Elle asked in a quiet voice only to swallow down her fear when it all went silent beyond the door.

And then her heart began to race rapidly as she listened to the sound of soft footsteps that stopped outside of her door.

And then just like that she sunk back against the wall when she found herself watching the door slide open with a mechanical hiss.

Just as the footsteps drew even closer while Elle gazed on in suspense as she gazed up at the approaching figure.

Only for her amber eyes to widen in shock to find herself gazing up at an eerily familiar crimson red-haired teenager clothed in hospital robes.

The prodigy strode into the cell with her crimson red hair flowing freely behind her while her emotionless brown eyes now gazed back at the stunned girl.

Just before she came to a stop standing over the shocked girl while Elle trembled in realization as they gazed back into each other's eyes.

Only for Elle to let out a comical yelp when the girl wordlessly slashed the manacles off her wrists with one swing of her wrist.

The broken shackles clanged upon the steel flooring as the younger girl happily rubbed at her freed wrists while the older girl gestured her head towards the door.

"Come." Subject Number One commanded in a cold voice with a broken pipe in hand while the girl still peered up at her in amazement.

"It... you! I...didn't think that I would ever see you again!" Elle exclaimed in a surprised voice as she stood up while the girl stared at her in confusion.

"What do you mean it's me? This is the first time that we've met." Subject Number One stated in a dismissive voice with her hard eyes staring back at the younger girl's bewildered face.

"Y-you don't remember me?" Elle asked in a concerned voice as she watched the girl's brown eyes studied her with a flicker of long buried frustration.

Only to grasp at her face with her right hand while her crimson red bangs fell in her widened eyes as she gazed back at Elle's gentle face.

She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

But there was something familiar about this girl.

But what?

"No...no I do not." Subject Number One muttered in something akin to a haunted voice with her fist clutching the side of her face while gentle amber eyes peered back at her in unconcealed emotion.

"O-oh, well you, and I met many years ago." Elle mumbled in a soft voice as she stared at the other girl still tearing into her scalp.

Just as they heard the sound of more guards rushing down the hall which immediately prompted the prodigy to spin around to face the open door with her brown eyes narrowing ever so slightly.

As emotional amber eyes looked to her for guidance when the younger girl began to tremble in terror behind her.

Just before she turned to glance over her shoulder into Elle's fretful eyes.

"Let's go." Subject Number One ordered in an emotionless voice while Elle hurriedly nodded her head in understanding.

Just as she walked out of the open door with the shorter girl fearfully following after her heels.
