CHAPTER 2

NO FEELING

"So, " I asked awkwardly, "how did you get here?" Yue's eyes were filled with tears waiting to be let out, anger and sadness showing in her eyes. She looked up at me, and I saw a little girl who looked heartbroken.

"I grew up understanding that the Fire Nation were horrible people. But I never understood how vile they could possibly be. I never imagined anyone could be so heartless do something so drastically insane." She paused, calming her breathing. "One late night, while my family and I were having our dinner, five Fire Nation men barged into our home, disturbing us. They had come saying that the Fire Lord needed more young teenage girls in his harem. He demanded for me to leave with them, and my mother and I attempted refusal. My father sat in a chair by the fire cowering from a Fire Nation soldier, much bigger than he. He didn't even try to fight them off and save me, he sat there, weak. My brother and sister huddled behind my mother, hoping she could keep them safe. Suddenly a guard struck out at my mom and grabbed me. She stood there, fearful, and watched me leave. Looking her in the eye, I realized, somehow, her mind set had changed. She no longer cared if I left. She had other children.

Finally able to break free of the man's grasp, I dove away from them, dodging one guard in the process. I grabbed the nearest chair, prepared to defend myself. Whatever the cost. One of the Lieutenants yelled at me that if I didn't go with them, he would slit my sister's throat in front of everyone. I figured he wouldn't really do it, and I would be able to make my move. He counted to three, and I moved. I landed a good blow on one guard, and threw my chair across the room, aimed for the guard sprinting to me. I ran forward to grab something else to fight with, when I realized I was standing in a pool of blood. My sister's. A few feet in front of me, my sister was lain across the ground, her choking fading out slowly. My mother screamed as she pulled her into her arms. She called me a monster, angrily, and told me to leave and if I ever escaped, to never come back. She looked at me with such betrayal and disownment in her eyes. My brother stood back staring at the sight before him, unsure of what to do in the midst of the chaos.

I was taken out of my home, and I cried, desperately hoping for a way out of the mess I had made. Suddenly, I heard a guard who was taking me away whispering to another, 'Burn it down' I screamed out, yelling at my family to get out, hoping they might hear me. I looked back, my bloody feet being dragged against the rocky ground, and saw two men burst fire at my house. I saw my mother's crying face against a window, trying to break her way out. And that was the last I saw of them. I was taken onto a ship and brought here. I let every man and women who came in take me. I didn't care, I deserved it. My decision caused my family's death and destruction. Now they're all dead, because of me." Yue looked up at the ceiling, staring into a light. A tear rolled down her already damp cheeks, and I saw her wipe the rest away.

How I felt for this girl now, could not be described. It was incredibly hard, however, to feel sorrow for someone else, when you were already feeling it in yourself.

"I am so sorry, Yue." I said sincerely. "I understand that I could never compare to your story, but the Fire Nation killed my mother. When I was young, there was a Fire Nation raid in my tribe, my mother was taken, in my place, believed to be the only waterbender in our tribe, in which she never really was one. She saved my life. The reason I'm here, is because I was kidnapped by my friends. And the Avatar was captured along with me." I immediately regretted revealing the Avatar being kidnapped almost as soon as I said it.
