My city was chosen for colonization by the fire kingdom. Years later, I was brought into this world and secretly on the beach near the water, my father taught me to earth bend with the sand and the minerals within it.

I became good enough to where the sand in the water was at my mercy but I was careless. Ember Island was where the royal family would come during the summer but I could care less. I was a child who didn't understand the dangers of bending around fire benders.

I was entertaining myself by crafting a sand castle using my hands though there was a little bending involved.

A girl skipped over to where I was playing and stomped on my sand castle.

"Ha, now you have to do it again"she snickered.

I didn't know who she was and I could've cared less, she was a child like me. I pushed her over. She looked at me with anger in her eyes. That anger was slowly replaced by a smirk. Her eyes became glossy and she began to cry loudly.

I was a kind soul, I didn't mean to make her cry.

"S-stop look I'm sorry"I spoke trying to cheer her up.

I closed my eyes and took control of the area surrounding me. I heard her crying stop so I continued believing it was working. Around the two of us was a large sand castle. I opened my eyes to see her smirk return.

"AZULA"a deep voice bellowed and the girl before me stood.

My smile vanished as she ran out. What had I done. I ran after her, trying to stop her.

"(Y/N)" my mother screamed for me in a panic, I could hear the worry in every syllable.

A ring of fire surrounded me and I stopped, dropping to the ground. I look up to see the girl on the shoulders of a terrifying man. Because of the posters around town, it was hard to mistake him and with only little hesitation, I bowed.

"I-ITS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU FIREPRINCE OZAI" I yelled over the roaring flames.

I couldn't hear what Azula had said but it was nothing good. The flames went away and her father lifted me off the ground by my neck.

"Dare to bend again and I shall take your life, this will be a warning."he told me.

I thanked him in tears believing this was all. A smirk replaced his glare and flames erupted from his hand and scorched my neck. I shrieked in pain before he dropped me to the ground.

My father had run outside and was holding my mother who was crying. It was then that the Fireprince set my house ablaze with my parents and younger siblings trapped on the porch and inside. I tried to yell out to them but I couldn't.

Fireprince Ozai grabbed me by the hair and lifted my motionless body into the air to watch my life burn at a "better angle". He waited until it all turned to Ash before turning away and walking back to their house with me in tow, dragging my body along the ground.

Upon arrival, I was thrown into a room with women. They gasped before bandaging my neck and changing my attire. Azula had come to fetch me soon after and gave me tour of the surroundings. She brought me to a kitchen and left me there after placing a book on my head.

The cooks looked to me and removed the book and placed a tray of food in it's place. They then filled my hands with trays. Too much was happening at once and I was thoroughly confused.

A woman approached and knely down. "I will escort you to the dining room where you will serve the food to the royal family. Do not drop the food no matter what. After you serve the food, give the trays to me and wait patiently against the wall until they are finished eating. Do whatever they ask of you without hesitation and never let their cups become empty"she says.

She then leads me to the dining room where I did as instructed. A beautiful woman calls me over to her before asking what was under the bandages.

I only stared at her with a sad face and it seemed she understood. Her eyes subtly drew over to firelord Ozai.

"So that's why"she says to which I nod.

She extended her hand to which I flinched before she gently pats my head. I blushed at the contact.

"You'll feel better soon and when you do, tell me your name alright sweetheart"she gave me a kind-hearted smile.

I nod I response. I was kicked in the back by Azula and I stand before turning to her. Her plate was empty but so was her cup. I realized that I had become side tracked and grabbed her items before rushing back with a pitcher of water and refilled everyone's cup. I then positioned myself back at the wall.

After dinner I was summoned to a large room where the royal family was present and looking down on me.

I got on to my knees and bowed before he allowed me to rise.

"Peasant, you will forever serve as part of my staff and will tend to my children and do whatever task they request. If you refuse then I will see to your punishment"Fireprince Ozai bellowed.

I nod and he stands. "If you bend then I will see to it that your life ends. You may only bend if told to do so"he growled to which I flinched before nodding once again. He dismissed me but before I had the chance to scurry away, Azula had stopped me.

"Bathe me"she says gleefully.

I stopped and glanced to Fireprince Ozai before nodding.

"Zuko, come it is time for training"Ozai spoke to his son before Azula pulled me away.

I helped to undress her and she stepped into the steaming bath. She turned to me with an unamused face.

"What are you doing, get in"she demands and I hesitate but did as she asked.

She reached over and undid my bandages to look at my slow healing scar.

"Leave the bandages off, it makes you look ugly"she tells me and I only nod.

She turned away and I began to wash her back before moving on to her arms and legs. She took care of the rest. She then offered to clean my back which I accepted. I then cleaned the rest of my own body. After she dried off, I helped to dress her in PJs. I stood awkwardly before her wrapped in a towel and she laughed.

"You thought I was going to lend you pjs, go to the Servant quarters and get your own."she spoke and my eyes widened.

I looked at my appearance and back to her.

"Do I need to repeat myself"she growled and created fire in the palm of her hand.

I quickly shook my head and ran away clenching my towel tightly. I turned the last corner when I toppled over someone. My heart skipped a beat when I saw that it was zuko, Ozai's son. I quickly moved away and bowed afraid.

"Rise child where are your clothes."a gentle voice said.

It was the woman, I listened and stood to find a red faced Zuko who had turned away. I shrugged to her question and she grabbed my hand.

"Zuko, go and get ready for bed, I'll come to tuck you in"she says.

Zuko runs off in the opposite direction and she takes me to a room of servants before helping me to find clothes that fit.

We all went to bed.

4 years later, I had recovered enough to speak and the scorch marks became a permanent scar. I spotted Zuko's mother in the garden and approached her. I bowed respectfully.

"Hey sweetheart"she greets politely.

"(Y-y/n)"I spoke in a soft voice.

"(Y/n?...what does that mean"she questioned clearly confused.

"(Y/n)....that is my name....(y/n) (l/n)" I repeat myself with more details.

She smiled and hugged me tightly.

"I'm very proud of you (y/n)"she says and I smile.

"I have to go back and find Azula and the others... they're playing hide and seek"I smile and run off.

Life carried on simply for the next few years and I was a personal Servant of both Zuko and Azula though Azula called on me more.

My life became worse when their mother went missing. She was almost like my protection. I was tortured for little things: being late, hesitating, saying more than I should, interrupting meetings accidentally. The servants and gaurds used me as scapegoats for things they didn't wants to risk like accidentally interrupting a meeting. I dealt with it and soon it felt routine. Ty Lee, one of Azula's friends had taken a liking to me though and had taught me chi blocking to protect myself, azula, and Zuko if the time ever came. Even though i knew how to protect myself, i couldnt protect myself so the torture continued. I grew silent and cold. Since servants and gaurds didn't have much say, my anger was usually projected onto them. I watched blankly as the world was conquered by the fire nation.

Everything became worse when Firelord Ozai challenged Zuko to an Agni Kai. Zuko was burned and anger rose within me. Zuko reminded me of me and how I was unable to do anything.

Though I was angry, I was still powerless yet my body moved on it's own and I ran out to cover Zuko from anymore torment. For anyone else I would've watched.

Firelord Ozai growled and shot flames at me to which I was defenseless and was knocked unconscious. I woke on the floor at Zuko's feet.

"Zuko, I banish you from ever setting foot on fire nation soil until the Avatar has been captured. As an aid, this defective Servant and your coward of an uncle shall accompany you. A squadron and their ship will be the only help you receive from me now get out of my sight."Firelord Ozai growled at him.

Zuko looked down at me with a slight glare and motioned for me to follow. I stood in pain and followed after bowing to Firelord Ozai. We prepared and I packed all of my clothes before the servants wished me luck.

As I left I could hear their comments of how they can no longer use me to their advantage.

Upon boarding the ship we settled down and I was given a skinny room with just a bed that was between Zuko's and general Irohs room. They both had doors connecting to my room. I sighed before my name was called and I rushed to Zuko's room.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT"he yelled as I entered and threw a chair in my direction. I ducked before he pinned me to the ground.

"If you hadn't intervened-"he growled as his hands began to heat up. The heat irritated my scar as I cried.

"ZUKO-"his uncle intervened and pushed him away.

I rolled over coughing and holding my neck. Zuko thrashed trying to get me although Iroh restrained him. When I was lucid Enough to move, I quickly left and shut the door. I collasped onto my bed in tears. Later that night, Iroh had brought me tea and left me alone.

The unexpected next three years were brutal but I was by his side.... Zuko's side... None the less. The Avatars escape was almost two weeks ago. Now im in bed sleeping the night away as if that incident occurred months ago.
