Fire Queen

Chapter: 4

"Please forgive her, please forgive our daughter my lord," said the man with his head on the ground, begging for his daughter, his wife is next to him, a little boy about five is standing on the side with horrified expressing holding his teddy bear,

"Please don't take my daughter away from me I beg you" the women begged, "Mother please don't beg this monster" Hua screamed,

"Quiet Hua you bring us to this, you better apologies right now" her father yelled, We are standing in the middle of the colony, with everyone standing around looking at what is folding in front of them in fear,

"Your Daughter Tried to kill me and my wife, you want me to just let her go?" Zuko asked, "Please, Hua lost her way, but please as a mother I beg you" the woman cried, I am standing in the middle looking at the boy who is starring at his mother begging for his sister's life, he is holding on his bear for life,

"Zuko" I put my hand on his shoulder, I looked at the boy making him look at the boy too, "Not here, not in front of him," I said, Zuko's eyes softens at seeing the boy, he nodded,

"Take us to your home, we will talk in the privacy of your house" Zuko ordered, the Man got up, "Yes my Lord this way" he guided him, I turned to the boy and crouched down to his level, he has golden eyes, he is a fire bender I can tell,

"What's your name?" I asked everyone left leaving us behinds, "Hyun" he replied scared,

"Don't be scared I won't let anyone hurt you, I am Ryu" I said, "What is your teddy bear's name?

"He doesn't have one",
"Why not we should give it one"

"Are you going to take my sister away?" he asked, his big golden eyes begging me to say no,

"I will try my best that we don't," I told him,
"Promise?" he asked,
"Promise"

He guided me to his house, when I got in Zuko was sitting on the sofa, while the parents were sitting on the floor in front of him with tears in their eyes, Huo was standing next to Aang and Katara on the side, with her head down in shame she brings her parents on their knees,

"Go to your room," I ordered the boy,

"What will happen to our daughter?" Father asked, her mother tried to control her sobs,

"We are not here for that, Zuko first let's focus on the task at hand, you can decide what will happen to the girl later" I put my hand on mothers shoulder,

"Try to pull yourself together, I know it's hard for you, but your daughter was in our bedroom standing above my husband's head ready to stab him, we are here to understand what derived her to do such thing"

I was going to sit next to her on the floor, "No, sit next to me" Zuko said, clearly pissed, I knew if I argued at small things like this he won't hear what I have to say on big ones,

I went and sat next to him, he put his arm around my waist, I looked at Hua who have a little smirk, like she knows how his touch is the last thing I want right now, Ryu get her out of your head, Zuko is a good man,

"She was always a stubborn girl, I just never thought she will go to these lengths," her mother said whipping her tears,

"Since the order came to leave everything behind she just lost it, as you can see my lord my ancestors came here on the order of Lord Sozin and generations have come after them, I am the fourth generation, we have learned to live together with people of earth kingdom, we have formed friendships, families, my wife is from earth kingdom, my daughter is non-bender like me but my son is fire bender, I have to leave my daughter and wife behind and take my son on your orders" father explained who is holding back his tears,
