No one talked. It was boring because we couldn't find land. We just sat there in silence.

I was glaring at the ocean. I hate water... But it's important otherwise we wouldn't live. "What is your problem?!" The water girl said. I didn't say anything.

"Don't ignore-!" She started but her brother stopped her. "Katara! Don't make the fire nation soldier angry" he said smiling at me. Katara? I guess that's her name. "I'm not a soldier." I said. They looked at me confused "but you were with the other guards" aang said. "Yes but only because I can fight. I'm supposed to be a maid. It was the princesses orders to stay with zuko and he made me a soldier for now." I said.

"Look for saving my life I'll let you off this one time but next time I will bring you back with me" I said looking at aang. "Umm if you haven't realized. He is the Avatar and you saw what he could do. He could beat you." The water boys said.

I looked at him and he flinched. "let me ask this. How many time can he do that? Does he know how to control it? How many elements does he know?" I said. The boy put his hands up in surrender.
"There is land!" Aang said. "Finally" katara said annoyed. "so will drop you off and rest for a while so appa can rest." Aang said explaining it.

I looked down and saw it was a water tribe. "No find a different place" I said. They looked at me confused "why it's perfectly fine" he said. I shook my head no. "We have to and appa needs a break." Aang said. I grumbled but gave in. We landed not long after.

It was simple but some what familiar. "What tribe are we at?" I asked  katara. "I don't know. I've never seen it before." She said confused. We started to walk through the streets. Everyone backed away from me. "What do you want fire nation! We gave you the money!" I heard a man say. "We aren't with the fire nation" aang told the man. "Well the rest of us aren't." Katara said glaring at me. I rolled my eyes and growled at her.

I look at the man. He had h/c (hair color) and bright gold eyes. Why does he look familiar? "Why is she in fire nation clothes?!" He asked. "because im a maid there." I spoke up. He glared at me. "Have we meet before?" He asked. A women came up to him with 2 children. One boy and a little girl. The boy look a year younger than me and the girl looked about 4.

The women had bright red hair and e/c (eye color). "Honey don't be rude she is only a kid." She said sweetly. "Hi I'm hana l/n and this is my husband Haka l/n (last name)." she said holding out her hand.

I froze on the spot. "L/n?" I whispered. Her face went to confused. The flames around us started to become bigger. "W-what wrong?" She asked becoming scared. I calmed down and the flames went down.

"F/n are you alright?" Aang asked. Hana and haka stared at me. "What?" They asked. "I'm sorry I guess I didn't introduce myself. I'm f/n l/n maid and temporary fire nation bodyguard for prince zuko. Hopeful I will stay a bodyguard." I said. I wasn't lieing I'm a bodyguard for him for now.

"Wait are you related?" Aang asked. "Blood yes. Family no" I said. The man used water bending and froze it. It was in a spear shape and he held it to my neck.

"You are not welcome here." He said. "Why not?" I said with a smirk. I melted the ice. "Wait how can you bend fire if he is a water bender?" Katara asked. I glared at them. "Shut up katara" the water boy whose name is sokka said. "F/n let's just leave." aang said. "No it's fine. We made a deal. You drop me off and I will let you go. You can do whatever but don't get in my way." I said.

My flames grew around me. "You don't want to do this f/n." hana said "don't worry I wont for now. I just want to rest and wait for my boat or barrow one" I said.

Haka laughed. "No! You will leave now! I already told you. Your not welcome at this tribe." he said. "What did I do so wrong that you treat me like this father?" I asked. "I am not your father" he glared. "What did I do to you? At least tell me that and I leave." I said. It's a question I've been wondering for years. "You lived" he said. Hana hugged her children to her chest and looked away. I just stared at haka standing protectively over his family. Aang and the water siblings stared in shock. I felt something snap inside of me. I smiled "ok well I'm going to take a boat and leave then" I said. He looked relieved. Hana hugged her children tighter. I started to walk away when I stopped. "Before I go I have one thing to do" I said. Haka tensed again. "What's that" he said. I smiled "im going to burn you home to the ground. Just as you left me to burn" I said.

I used one hand to bend fire and the other to bend water. "What the heck!" Aang said. I shot fire at him and made him slip on the ice. He shot me in the back with one of his ice spears.

I ripped it out. I flipped around him and kicked fire at him. He fell to the ground. "I thought you said it would be hard?" I said. Fire burned around us. Tents were burning. I then hear people around me screaming in fear.

The boy jumped in front of his father. "Leave father alone or you will face me." He said shaking. I looked at the little girl. "Mommy is daddy ok?" She asked. The boy barely held up the water. "You know you should learn from our fathers mistakes. I would hate to have to hurt to" I said. Haka got up Infront of him. "You will not hurt him. You'll have to kill me first" he said. I felt my heart hurt. "so willing to die for your family. But what about me? I could have help you and everyone but instead you cast me a way. For all you know they could have caught me and I could have been killed horrible! You begged for the avatar but when I came you left me for dead!" I held a flame to him.

"F/n!" Someone screamed. I looked up to see Zuko? I looked at haka and backed away. I walked up the him and bowed on one knee. "Sir I'm glad to see your ok" I said. He slapped me. "You disappeared out of nowhere and I find you here fighting?!" He screamed. "Zuko she may have a good-" iroh started but he cut him off. "no she has gave us enough trouble! Get up!" He screamed me. I got up quickly. He walked up to the man. "What happened?" He glared. "She just attacked us out of nowhere" he said "F/n come apologize! I want your head so close to the ground you put a hole in the dirt. Then I want you to clean this up and rebuild everything you destroyed!" He said. "But sir-" i tried to protest. "now!" He said. I didn't disobey.

I walked in front of the family and bowed my head. I felt pressure on my head. "held his hand up.

"I'm sorry mr Haka and mrs Hana. Please forgive me I let my emotions get in the way" I said.Zuko don't you think that's-" iroh started"I'm sorry mr Haka and mrs Hana. Please forgive me I let my emotions get in the way" I said. but Zuko held his hand up. "Now!" He yelled
"I'm sorry mr Haka and mrs Hana. Please forgive me for destroying your home" I said. I kept my heard down until Zuko told me to get up. I whipped the snow off my forehead.

"I want you to clean this up!" He said. He is angrier then usual. I nodded and put out the fires. I started to fix some of the housing. "Thank you sir for your kindness. Would you like to join us for dinner?" hana said bowing. Haka got  up and bowed to. He glared at them. "Fine, f/n once you finish come inside. Your punishment hasn't ended." he said.
I looked around to see aang and the water siblings gone.

After I was done I went into the largest tent. A stood behind Zuko and iroh. Hana put out food for haka, her kids, iroh, and Zuko. She started to put out another plate but Zuko stopped her. "She will not eat tonight." He said.
"Zuko she is still a soldier. She needs her food for energy or she can't fight." Iroh said. "It's fine sir. I don't need anything" I said to iroh.

"No eat he is right." Zuko said  sighing not even looking at me. I sat down beside Zuko and the boy. I guess he is my brother. "So how did the fight start?" Zuko asked trying to figure out what happened. I held my breath. "I washed up and couldn't remember much of what happened. I saw them and attacked." I said coming up with a quick lie. The family looked at me questioning. "So you hurt people because you where confused?" He asked. I drew in a sharp breath. "Y-yes" I said stuttering.

He didn't speak. "I want you sent back to azula as soon as we leave." He said. I snapped my head to him. "You can't do that!" I said. "Don't raise your voice at me!" He said slammed his hand on the table. "Well I am and your not sending me back. I'd rather be hunted" I said.

"Your going back! And that's finale!" He said I stared at him. "Zuko I don't think that's a good idea." Iroh said trying to defend me. Zuko ignored him and went back to eating.
