I wake up gasping and wheezing for air.

"Are you okay?" hot stuff asked.

I looked up shocked at who I was staring at.

"You?!" I gasp, getting up prepared to fight.

"I'm not going to hurt you," hot stuff says raising his hands up in defeat.

I lower my stance. "Ugh! Why does it feel like I've been hit with a block of ice?"

"About that," hot stuff says rubbing the back of his neck.

"I don't even want to know," I say looking around.

"Where are we?- Aang!" I say running over to the monk, shaking him.

"He's in avatar state don't even bother." Hot stuff says.

I sigh knowing he's right. I sit back on the cold ground.

"What's your name?" hot stuff asked sitting next to me.

"Soul." I reply resting my head on his shoulder.

I know he just captured Aang and I or whatever but for some reason I felt comfortable with him.

"Soul," hot stuff repeats. "That's a lovely name for a lovely girl."

I laugh. "You trying to flirt with me right now hot stuff?"

He lets out a chuckle. "Zuko."

"Huh?" I perk, lifting my head off his shoulder.

"My name is Zuko."

"Nice to know hot stuff," I say resting my head back on his shoulder.

"What's your story?" I ask.

"Story?" Zuko says resting his head on top of mine.

"Yeah, story. Everyone has one."

"Where should I begin."

*ೃ༄ *ೃ༄ *ೃ༄

"Woah." I say comprehending everything Zuko had told me.

"So you're trying to capture Aang for your honour, you're a banished Prince, and your father burnt you for not fighting back in an agni kai?" I say only repeating the important information Zuko had just told me.

"Yeah." Zuko sighs.

"I'm so sorry." I say gently placing my hand on his scarred cheek.

He grabs my wrist gently, leaning his head into my palm.

"Huh?! Grrr!"

Zuko and I turn our heads to see Aang struggling to get out the ropes Zuko wrapped him up in.

"Welcome back," Zuko greets, standing in front of Aang.

"Good to be back," Aang replies narrowing his eyes at Zuko.

"Soul?!" Aang gasps noticing me. "He's got you too?!"
