So we had this career workshop today. Problem is is that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. And it sort of scares me a bit because everyone else seems to know and I don't. /worry moment/

Besides that, I'm okay. BUT CAN SOMEONE PLEASE RESCUE ME FROM DOING NOTHING THIS WEEKEND? I feel like my brain is going to explode and like I should be calling everyone on my contact list, but I know I can't do that. Usually Wendy and Jenny let me stay over at their house, but school is pulling them under and I just want to cuddle. *wibbles*

And with Wifey's approval, I am posting an Avatar drabble. Hopefully Zuko isn't acting like TOO much of a woobie. I don't think there are any spoilers, except for maybe THE DECISION at the end of season 2 and the fact that I had the trailer for season 3 on my mind when I wrote this.



Zuko finds her broken and defeated on the battle field.

The call of Fire Nation soldiers pushes him forward and then backwards because their grunts of pain and the ache of splintered bones causes him to recoil in revulsion.

The waterbender girl looks almost unrecognizable underneath tough armor and bloody burns. No one would notice her as an enemy as she lay among them half dead except for the rotting corpse she would become.

He really should be moving on, but the sight of her is distant and a surprise and he just has to stare at her for a little while and know. Maybe she’s still alive under the cold skin and hot metal.

He can picture Mai in the back of his mind, quiet and bored and still there waiting anyway, always loyal. He can picture his sister who lies and makes lightning bolts appear out of nowhere to strike his uncle who looks at him with sad eyes as if he’s lost everything.

It makes him sick and tired and the scar on his face is rough and ugly and there.

So maybe it’s out of remorse for the dead that he does it – maybe it’s out of remembrance of a girl who had offered to foolishly heal an enemy, or maybe he was guilty and the inner looks his uncle gave him that chilled him to the core was what made him grab her by her feet and drag her somewhere away.

Not very far, but away.

She’s still alive. He thinks, anyways. He didn’t bother to check. Not when there’s a war still raging and an angry Avatar not far away, eyes burning with strength that makes him bigger than he is.

Old faces come up to claw at him, but he waves them away like always.

His hands glow.



End! :D

THE BEGINNING IS THE BEST THING STEPHANIE MEYER HAS EVER SAID.
