Fire Queen

Chapter: 9

I woke up in soft silk sheets, Kai was nowhere to be found, "Kai" I called out, no one replied, I got up, there is a big window in this room, how haven't I seen it at night?

I walked up to the window, as far as I can see there is water, I looked down at the deck and lord Zuko is training with four soldiers, he is shirtless, I stared at him, as he takes all four of them down, avatar Aang and Katara is sitting on the side, while Kyoshi warriors are standing on the other end with Sokka,

He stood up straight after throwing all four of the soldiers of their feet's and stretched, I wonder how it feels like to run my hand down his chest to his abs are they soft to touch or rock hard?

Metal door opens, I turned around, I knew I was blushing; I tried to hide it, "Ryu good you are awake" Kai walked in, holding clothes in her hand,

"Here I prepared your clothes, get ready everyone Is waiting for you for breakfast" she puts clothes on the bed,

"Thanks," I said walking toward the bed, she looked at me suspiciously, trying to read me, "Get Ready" she turned around and left,

I walked out of my room wearing a red gown, it's not like ones back home, they seem more of fire nation's style, both guards bowed, were there standing here all night, it is strange, why are they here?

"Can you guide me down to the main deck?" I asked, this is a big ship and the last thing I want is to get lost and make the rest of them wait even longer, "Of course" one of them said and start walking, I guess I should follow him, so I did, there are so many hallways one lead to another and all of them look same,

He leads me to the deck and walked back, "Thank you" I said as he walks away, I walked out on the deck, he is no longer shirtless, he is sitting on the table everyone is, Kai and Jiang are not here, are they not eating with me? I walked toward them,

"Good Morning" I Bowed my head in his direction, he smiled back, there seem to be two empty spots, one next to Katara and one next to him, I will always choose katara's, I walked around the table on her side,

His voice stopped me "No" I looked up at him, and he has that smile on the smile I call mine, "Sit next to me" he said In a calm voice, I didn't want to, why does he want me to, what's the difference, does he wants to be near me, I am just overthinking it,

I nodded and took a seat right to him on the cushion on the floor, he is sitting at the head of the table, Avatar Aang to his left, Katara next to him, Sokka and Suki next to me, Ty Lee is sitting on the other end,

"Did you sleep well?" Katara asked, drinking tea, "Yes" I smiled at her,

"Morning" Toph came with messy hair, it seems like she just woke up, "Toph you are late," Katara said,

Toph took the last empty seat next to Katara, "It's too early; you all should try sleeping more"

Sokka and Suki are whispering to each other, they are so cute, he said something to make her laugh, he seemed the guy who makes everyone laugh,

"You are not eating?" Lord Zuko asked, I looked back at him; he was looking at the bowl of food in front of me, "I am just not hungry" I replied, casually that's no big deal,

"You didn't eat much last night too, you have to eat" he argued, he seemed concerned,

"Aww this is so cute, Zuko is worried about Ryu's eating habits" Sokka teased him, "I can't let her starve herself" Lord Zuko argued, does he only cares about me staying alive because the nation needs me alive, good to know he doesn't give a shit,

"Aww this is so romantic" Toph sarcastically commented,

"Stop it guys, Ryu eat something" he ordered,
