Suki explained to Dick why I had shut down so suddenly as I walked away.
He was here, he was going to try to help us escape…
Im not so sure if I wanted him too.
As I walked threw the crowd of inmates whispered spread. I couldn’t blame them really I didn’t look so tough on the outside. And my eyes and hair stood out violently from every one else’s. it attracted attention. Even from the person I didn’t want to see me.
“Ari!” I heard his shout from across the yard but I didn’t look at him. “Ari!” he breathed as he ran to catch me. he spun me around violently to face him. “didn’t you hear me?”
“I told you not to call me that anymore Zuko” I hissed threw my teeth.
“what happened?” he asked. “you burned in front of me!”
“I faked it” I rolled my eyes, turning my back on him. “and rejoined the Avatar.”
“why?”
“to make things right” I said turning to look back at him. “everything I’ve ever done was to make things right Zuko, you know that”
“Ari” he whispered looking deep into my red eyes. “im so sorry”
“I know Zuko” I sighed looking at the ground, “and I love the way you lie”

I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar

When we got out we rejoined the kids back at the air temple. Aang and Katara still didn’t fully trust Zuko but tolerated his presence. Dick also kept an eye on the former prince.
I stayed away from him.
I just couldn’t be near him without having the urge to kill him. after all he did just sit by and watch me burn to death. He didn’t know I escaped. He didn’t know I wasn’t really dying only feet from him.
I often went to the creak near by the air temple and practice my water bending. It helped to calm me.
“what are you doing here?” I heard Dick’s voice and I quickly stopped bending.
“nothing” I said quickly and tried to push past him but he grabbed my wrist.
“don’t shield yourself” he said.
“what?”
“I saw your bending” he smirked letting go of my arm. “I saw your form, your shielding yourself from love”
“you don’t know anything” I hissed.
“I see how you look at him Arianna” he said smiling. “I see the pain on your face as you ignore him day after day. you make excuses to yourself, he did this, he did that, when your fear is what’s keeping you two apart”
