(Y/n) POV

Opening my eyes was a big mistake, because I saw my little sister standing across from me chained to the wall.

"So. You're up" she scoffed.

I groggled trying to lift myself from if the cold stone floor, but felt a heavy weight around my wrist keeping me to the ground.

"Katara what happened last night?"

"What do you think happened last night?! Your little boy toy's sister happened!" She yelled at me.

"Wha-boy toy?" I raised a brow.

"Oh don't act so surprised I know about you and Zuko" she snapped at me not bothering to look me in the eye.

"Katara I-"

"No it's my turn to talk," she clenched her fists as an unmistakable snarl carved onto her face. "For as long as I could remember you've been trying to protect us from harm. You've always been there to try and keep Aang- us from harm. From Zuko! And look where we are! We're in a prison cell! And you're dating the enemy! The enemy!" She yelled, "The enemy, how could you?! He's with the nation that took our mother away!"

"He didn't so stop it Katara!" I yelled making my chain rattle as I tried to stand, "He was fucking ten years old! Just because he is from the Fire Nation doesn't mean he was responsible for our mother's death! Spirits! You're just as bad as the council!"

"Don't you dare compare me to them! He's the son of the man who murdered our mother!"

I groaned, "Enough about mom! For spirits sake that's your argument for everything!"

"No it's not!"

"'Hi, I'm Katara! Did you know my mother was killed? That means you have to relate to me! I know your entire race was annihilated and you're the only Airbender left in existence, but my struggle is more important!' Sound familiar?" I mimicked her.

"Oh you wanna talk about arguments?" She pulled on her chains, "'Hi, I'm (Y/n)! I act like a big bad bitch because in reality I'm just sad that my parents are scared of me. I guess I'll go date the enemies son to get back at them'!"

"Zuko is not the enemy!"

"He kidnapped you!"

"Yeah, and he apologized!"

"That's not a good argument! (Y/n) he's using you! He just wants to get and Aang and scar you!"

"No he doesn't" I told her.

"Oh yes he does! If I remember correctly he's tried to capture both of you multiple times in the span of less then a year! There's gonna be a single moment where he can have you in his ugly grasp, and you'll be gone!"

"Zuko isn't like that!"

"He is! (Y/n) he will never care about you! You need to understand he's using you! He will never help you of his own free will!" She began to cry, "He's going to hurt you, and we-I won't be able to save you this time!"

"He won't hurt me!"

"How do you know that?!"

"Because he saved me!" I blurted out.

"He what?" She stopped struggling to raise a brow at me.

I sighed as I stopped as well, "He-he.... saved me Zhao" I looked down trying to block out the words he told me.
