Zuko's POV
I heard Sokka's voice whisper into my cell,
"Zuko. Are you there?"
"I'm here."
"I just got done talking to my dad. We came up with an escape plan together."
I heard footsteps approaching,
"What are you doing here?"
Sokka span around,
"I was just telling this dirty low life what I think of him!"
"Well, you'll have to do that later. He's coming with us."
"Why?"
"Because we have orders straight from the warden, that's why."
What? Seriously? Right now?
"Could I just get ten more seconds to rough him up a bit?"
"Fine, ten seconds."
Sokka opened the door and handed me my pillow,
"Take that! And this!"
He punched against the pillow whilst I grunted as he whispered,
"We have a new plan, but it's gonna need a big distraction. Be in the yard in one hour."
The door began to open and we both panicked, Sokka grabbed onto me, wrestling me as the guards stopped him,
"Alright, that's enough."
They grabbed the back of my shirt and pushed me away.
"What are you doing? Where are you taking me?"
Y/N's POV
I sighed as I looked down at the volcano, the air ship was starting to land. Azula walked up to my side,
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll feel much better once you've seen what's become of him."
"Azula, I don't hate your brother, I'm just upset that he left, that's all... After everything that I did for him."
"What do you mean?"
"I gave up my life, my position in the army... everything, so that I could help him track down the avatar... so that he could come home."
"He's ungrateful, if you ask me. Even when he had everything, he still decided to leave."
I sighed,
"I just don't understand why he did."
"Some people are just destined to live lives of treachery- his loyalty was never to our nation, otherwise he would've never left."
What about his loyalty to me? Did I not mean anything to him? I thought I was his best friend. I thought he loved me.
I shrugged my shoulders,
"I suppose you're right..."
"I'm always right."
As the air ship landed, we were greeted a guard who escorted us inside.
I took a deep breath, I don't know if I was ready to see him.
Zuko's POV
I was thrown into a room with a single chair,
"Agh! I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Come on Zuko, we all know that's a lie."
That voice...
I turned my head,
"Mai... How did you know I was here?"
"Because I know you so well."
