Outcast

"Going somewhere?" I rolled my eyes at his comment.

"Well, yeah. I'm being held against my will by a bunch of fire nation bad guys. Can you really blame me?" He then grabs my arm and walks me back inside his room keeping the door open. He then sits me onto his bed and stands a few feet back. "Why am I here? Shouldn't I be locked up in a dungeon or whatever."

"I want to know how you got to the south pole. I have been sailing these waters for the past 2 years and I have never come across fire nation boats in these waters."

"Well that's because I was born here. Well, I think I was." His face wasn't angry anymore. It was more of a curiosity rather than anger. "I was abandoned by my parents in the south pole when I was just a baby, but the chief of the southern water tribe took me in and raised me. But ever since my fire bending arrived, I've been the one person everyone is afraid of." His face became puzzled when I mentioned the last part. "You firebenders have a bad reputation, you do know that, right?" He ignores my comment and starts walking closer to me until he is inches away from my face. My cheeks flushed due to how close our faces were as I stared into his amber eyes. Even with that huge scar on his face, he was still an attractive boy. Ugh what are you thinking Kai! Get it together! He's the enemy! He reaches around my back and cuts the rope, setting my hands free and then backs away again. I stand up looking at him with confusion. He simply just reaches out his hand.

"I'm Zuko." I looked down at his hand and hesitated. After a few seconds, I took his hand and shook it.

"Kai."
