Chapter 3 Pleasure Spiked with Pain.
((( Iroh )))
I have been gone for far too long. I wake up as if I have a nasty hangover. I can hear Lan and June whisperings. Good Lan did make it out of the spirit world. I sit up and see June is hugging Lan tears falling down her pail face. June is still lovely to look at. Her hair is longer but still just as black. She has gotten thinner then I remember but she is still as beautiful as the day I met her. To think she has loved and taken care of me all this time still amazes me.
“ You made it back. He did too! I have you both back!” Lan tries to pry an emotional June from her but it makes June grip on Lan tighter.
I see that Lan’s hair is wet and her pale skin is pasty. Lan pats her back and whispers something to June. June lets Lan go and they are both looking at me. June throws herself into my arms and I hold her there. It has been far too long since I felt this woman in my arms. I hear the tent opening flapping in the breeze and I know Lan has slipped away. June begins kissing my face and murmuring how much she has missed me.
“ I have missed you too. I am sorry it took so long.” She grips me tightly. I am the happiest of men. I know June has not brought another man to her bed. Women . . . probably. Men . . . no. I don’t know how I know I just do. I am lucky that a beautiful woman like June still loves an old thing like me.
“ It’s Lan. She can’t wake up. The Lan we knew and all loved is dead. The’ Ice Dragon’ as the Fire Nation calls her now, has taken over.” She cries harder now. I knew it would be this way. I had always feared if left alone Lan would destroy herself from the inside. I had hoped the others would keep that from happening but only Aang, Zuko and, I kept that monster in Lan at bay. She pulls back from me to wipe the evidence of her joy and pain.” But you’re here now. She will listen to you. You will make the old Lan come back to us.”
“ Yue I hope so. June there are things that you should know. Things I have seen . . . Zuko is not the monster we thought him to be.”
                                                                        * * *
I watch Lan using her earth bending with the Dia Li and I am impressed. She has always been an impressive bender but this . . . is beyond everything I know. Jong Jong was not lying when he said she has become sharp . . . a little too sharp in my opinion. She still doesn’t know the truth about Zuko. Whenever I or Jong Jong tries to approach the subject, she goes into a frenzy and doesn’t want to hear. Soon it will not matter. Katara will be here soon and will make her listen. That is a fight I am not looking forward to. I have seen a glimpse of the future. Lan and Katara will battle it out and it is not pretty.
“ Will she listen?” I feel June beside me. She watches Lan as I do in awe and in fear.
Seven of the Dia Li agents are coming at Lan with everything they have. Toph has blindfolded her and makes her see with the earth. Lan has become an earth bender like Toph. She uses her other senses instead of her eyes. Watching Lan you would think the Dia Li are not a challenge but it is. Lan is pushing herself harder and harder these days. She is a possessed woman lately. She is drilled in her bending everyday as well as with the Warriors who are not benders.
I have been back in this realm for weeks now and still I can’t make progress. I am beginning to think that Lan is beyond help. I am beginning to lose hope that our Little Orchid will ever come back. I am still weak but I try. June does help greatly teasing Lan like she used to. I am too weak yet to enjoy June the way she wants but she is patient. June it seems has starved herself now. She takes no one at all not even other women. June does not have to say that she loves me. Her actions speak volumes.
“ No. She shuts us both out when we try . . . you?” I look to June and she looks away from me. She has never feared to look me in the eye before. She, still after what Jong Jong and I have told her, does not believe. She has not tried. I cannot blame her for not believing. Nor can I blame her for not trying. I look back and Lan has defeated the seven Dia Li yet again but once again she has pushed her limit. She holds up her hand to them and falls to her knees.
“ You ain’t done yet Sex Kitten!” I hear Toph’s deeper yet feminine voice now and I am still in awe. She has grown to be a handsome young woman. Form what June has told me she has also turned into another June. She needs variety every now and then. Variety is a good thing but only if your partner understands . . . Sokka I don’t believe does.
“ Toph she is bleeding from her nose again!” Haru calls back. He looks at Lan the way Zuko did.
No . . . does . . . The way Zuko does. I could see Zuko behind Lan. I could see how he still looks at her with loving adoration. I could see Aang too, who looks at her like a devoted son to his loving mother. Zuko and Aang have grown much in these years. Both are taller than I remember.
Actually Zuko is much taller and wider across the shoulders. He is more impressive then his father. The eye patch on his scar was new. I could see he was holding himself back. I could feel my nephews anguish of having the object of his desire before him and unable to touch her. I know what that was like. It was done to me too. Ursa was always held before me and yet I could not have her.
June has told me everything that has happened. She didn’t need to tell me. I already knew. Ursa was waiting for me but when she was able to tell me everything I was trapped. I hid my mind in the box to keep from dying. I had expected Lan before this but she killed herself. She died inside. No, She isn’t quite dead yet. Something of her still remains. I have to believe that. I have to hope for it. Haru and Toph are running to Lan and she pushes them away.
“ I’m all right you two!” She screams at them before getting to her feet and swaying unsteadily toward June and me. I watch her fall to the ground but I do not help her. Toph and Haru are beside her and do what I ask when I am present. They will not help her until she asks. When I am not, they do what they want. If this is what she wants she will have to ask for my help now. I hate to do it but she has started down a road I don’t think she can be saved from . . . just yet.
“ Uncle Iroh there is something wrong! I can’t bend earth like I used to! I am slowly losing the ability to do it.” She rasps and looks up at me. Agni and Yue both help me. Give me the strength I need to save her.” Aang died . . . so why can’t I do this any more?”
Blood trickles from both nostrils now. June is about to go to her and I hold her back. It hurts June to do this as well but it must be done. I fear if I don’t make progress soon June and I will be no more. Every time we have to be cruel to her it hurts June even more. She doesn’t voice it but I know June is beginning to wonder if I am helping Lan or hurting her more. Lan has to want to be saved. She has to let go of the hate she has held for Zuko all these years. I know I ask the impossible but hasn’t Lan made the impossible . . . possible.
“ You’re not all right! Your bleeding again! You pushed yourself to the edge-“ Toph has to bend over to be in her face. I watch Lan . . . not Lan. I watch the Ice Dragon come out now.
“ I am better off than you are! Why don’t you go find Sokka and see what he is doing right now?!” She screams back at Toph.
I close my eyes and look away. Since I have been here, they say she has gotten worse. I know it is I trying to tell her the truth about Zuko. The Ice Dragon is reveling in Toph’s anguish. She has taken over where Lan should be. Toph looks at her and tilts her head. I can see tears forming in her milky eyes.
“ You bitch. You are a cold, heartless, bitch.” She whispers before running to the main camp.
“ Yes I am.” Lan gets to her feet bows to me respectfully yet stiffly before slowly following Toph.
                                                            * * *
((( Toph )))
I can’t believe Lan is this cold. I can’t believe she has become worse. I had hoped when Iroh came she would get better not worse. I miss Sex Kitten. She has been like this since Iroh came back to us. I can’t hear their conversations but it always ends in Lan not listening and walking away. She is shutting us all out more and more. I use the earth and find Sokka with Suki pinned to a tree her skirts up to her knees. If I could see with my eyes, I believe I would see a color and that color would be red.
“ I have nothing to worry about huh!” We have been fighting about this. I know they have children together. I was mad a first but I love Sokka so I was learning to be okay with it. We were tentatively back together. He said he would tell Suki he was with me and I had nothing to worry about . . . I should have known better. Now I can only begin to understand how Lan feels.
“ Wait Toph it’s not what you think!?” Suki and Sokka both yell at me. They must think I am blind . . . oh wait I am. I don’t care. I trap her in an earth tent and am ready to let a rock hit Sokka right in the family line when the earth shifts and I fall flat on my face.
“ ENOUGH!” I know that voice. It is the voice Lan has to command her Immortals. “ All three of you my tent! NOW!” I know that voice means no argument. We all follow her because we have no choice. She leads and we follow. Even Suki has to do what she says. The Kyoshi Warriors wanted in and the only way was under Lan. They are not members of her Immortals but they do have to obey her.
She holds the flap open for us. We all take up different positions around the table. She has maps everywhere. I know they are maps by their size. War, tactics, strategies, these have become Lan’s lovers now. She leans heavily on her hands and is ready to make a speech I know is coming. For weeks now Sokka and I have been fighting. I knew he had Suki a couple of times but to knock her up . . . I guess I still can’t really get past that part. She had no idea about me though. He had made his decision but still asked for time and we gave it . . . well I did . . . she didn’t.
“ I am going to say this once. I understand that what is happening between you three is a complicated mess. I have been patient with all three of you and have let all of you deal with it in your own way. Now, I am telling you resolve this today. Sokka and Suki have children together . . . if you can get over that Toph. . . Great. You are a better woman then I am. If not well . . . ”
I feel her shrug and turn her head. She is speaking low and calm and for a second I think I can feel the old Lan sliding back. I feel rational loving Lan sneaking up ready to come out like a child playing hide and seek. They poke their head round a corner slowly before jumping out for the big surprise. Unfortunately Suki or Sokka must have made some kind of face because the Ice Dragon has returned. I hate the Ice Dragon. She has no soul.
“ Sokka you make up your damn mind and stick to it. Suki if he chooses Toph you will keep your legs closed and deal with it!”
“ No wait just a damn minute-“ Okay the Ice Dragon does have her uses. I wish sometimes I could see with my eyes. I bet the look on Suki’s face at Lan telling her that is priceless.
“ No you shut your mouth and listen! There is a war going on out there! There are people dying! There are more important things then you two arguing over dick rights! There is a world outside your fuck triangle! I don’t have time to play baby sitter to you three! Fix this nonsense today or pack your shit and get out!”
I can feel the Ice Dragon leave. Once again she chokes Lan out. She is right though. This bullshit has gone on long enough. I thought it was solved but I guess not. I didn’t do anything wrong and shouldn’t feel sorry at all but the Ice Dragon does that. We are all three here just stares at each other. Well sort of.
“ That is not Lan. That is some . . . heartless . . . monster.” I feel Suki hug herself and her head droops. I want to do the same but I am not going to give Suki the satisfaction of seeing me scared.
“ She is what Zuko made her.” Sokka sighs before flopping down in the chair. Suki and I do the same. We don’t have a choice. It ends now.
                                                                        * * *
((( Jong Jong )))
I have failed Lan in so many ways. I should have told her the truth long before this but I didn’t. Having and an edge kept her safe . . . it kept her alive. Unfortunately she has become sharper. Iroh was right I should have told her sooner about Prince Zuko not betraying them but she turned her hate into a reason to live. She let it become her drive to keep going if only she lived long enough to be the cause of his death.
“ Is it much farther Master Jong Jong.” She is walking beside me keeping pace.
“ Not much more my student.” We walk in silence and I can only think more
I had hoped when her sons were born she would soften but their birth only made her fire of hate burn even brighter. Only a few months after their birth she shipped them to the North. I know she had her reasons. I have failed her as a teacher. True she has more discipline than Zhao ever had and she is beyond all teaching now but I should have taught her to feel again. Bending was . . . is her life. She was obsessed. Her water bending and Fire Bending know no equal now. Master Pakku cannot even compete against her.
I bring her six miles away from a new battlefield. Prince Zuko has brought an army to take over a minor city. Soon Katara should be here. I hope she can make Lan see. Then of course we thought Iroh would help with that . . . look how that has turned out. I knew where to find Lan. She goes to the sea and looks to the moon when she does not know which way to turn. Her cousin has yet to answer her so I am told. Lan being the obedient pupil follows when I tell her there is something I need to show her. I must bring the subject about him up again but have to tread carefully.
I watch her face as we come to a place that looks just like his Highness’s scar. Burnt trees reach up like charred and blackened fingers seeking relief. The structure that was here is nothing more than a few pieces of wood here and there but a charred black mess. I watch her face and know she remembers it. She knows what used to be here. The Crimson Dragon once stood here.
“ Do you know this place my student?”
“ Yes I know this place. Seems fitting that it should go up in smoke.” She walks around it in her slave girls’ morning clothes swishing around her ankles. We had thought she would take it off by now but seems to favor it. She wears these things that make her look like the love goddess but feels no love. When asked why she dresses this way she will not answer. “ Who burned it?”
“ He did.” I watch as she walks around it again and looks at me questioningly.” This morning.”
“ The One-Eyed Dragon? “ I nod and watch for her reaction. “ One of his finer moments. I hear he has to wear a patch over his bad eye? ” Her face is blank . . . at least, and the Ice Dragon is not there.
Fire Nation soldiers have called her that. We call her that to each other. Her Immortals call her General or My Lady. She has many names . . . but no one is here who can call her the names that matter. The names I believe can deliver her from the nothing she has become. Her sons aren’t here to call her ‘Mommy’. Zuko isn’t here to call her ‘wife’ . . . yet.
“ He does. It was pierced with a piece of flying metal from an earth warrior spear. He didn’t have a decent healer so he can’t see out of it.”
“ Serves the demon shit right.” She chuckles low in her throat. The Ice Dragon is back. She revels in his pain. It brings her so much pleasure to hear of his pain. She looks like a child in a candy store. I would think the Lan I have heard of has returned if it wasn’t for the fact she is happy at his misery. She is a demon child in a candy store.
“ I suppose it does. What happened here?” I need the old Lan back to the surface again Even if it is the broken one I need her for what is going to happen. Katara and Zuko will be here any moment. She has to be ready.
“ I was almost raped. Zuko cut the guys manhood off and shoved it in his mouth. Then he hung the guy and Zuko watched him die slowly. Painfully. That was one of Zuko’s finer moments.” There it is!
She is still there! The Lan that adored him is still there. I watch as a smile begins to creep onto her lips and begins to reach her eyes. She flings her long braid back off her shoulder and I see a Lan I thought I would never see while I lived trying to emerge. The moon is casting an otherworldly glow on her and I can see how and why Zuko fell for her and hard. She is the vision of loveliness.
“ Lan!” We both turn and Katara is running to her. I watch my students face and see it more. The old Lan is there. She is still there. She runs to Katara and grabs her. They fall to their knees on the ground and for a moment Lan is stunned. She looks as if she is dreaming and Katara is not real.
“ Lan it is I! I am here.” Katara squeezes Lan’s shoulders and I can see why they all loved Lan. I see a woman that had hope. I watch it glide across her face as she looks at Katara.
“ Katara it is you! Yue thank you!” She hugs the darker girl closer to her. I see something Lan has not done for a long time. She begins to cry. Lan buries her head in Katara’s hair and cries out.” You escaped from him! Thank the sprits you escaped from him!”
“ No!” She pushes Lan back and looks at her. “ Lan wait, but you don’t understand!” Zuko I can see is coming closer. Fire bombs go off and they are blown apart. Katara has been thrown against a tree. She isn’t moving. Lan runs to her and keeps ready. Fire Benders come form everywhere.
“ Over hear! Her Highness is over here!” A foot solider yells and I watch as a pale girl emerges from the trees ready to strike. I have seen her before. She is always with Princess Azula. I believe her name is Mai.
“ Fuck they followed you.” Lan has no time to heal Katara. We are surrounded. “ Son of a bitch!” I watch as the Ice Dragon emerges. She sees Zuko and is ready to kill . . . but the raven haired girl gets her attention.
“ Well if it isn’t the Ice Dragon, the famed general of the Immortals!” She sneers and folds her arms over her chest. I can feel the air getting hotter. Lan is letting her rage fill her. The Foot Soldiers know it. They are backing away quickly afraid of what Lan will do. Whoever this girl is she does not realize she has called down the wrath of the gods themselves.
“ If it isn’t Azula’s bitch and The Demon Prince! I have waited long to make you suffer.” She growls low and we are encircled in white flames. I watch the other girls eyes grow wide with fear. Hell has been unleashed.
                                                                        * * *
((( Quan )))
The camp has been in an uproar since Lan’s return. We knew that Zuko would be coming but not this soon. I helped her carry her friend to the healers. I would have let her heal her friend herself but she was in such a state. Sokka had talked to Lan and told her there was nothing she could have done. She did the right thing by getting them out of their and to a safe place. I take Lan away to calm her down. She is in a panic and I am delighted. I know I shouldn’t be but it means she is feeling.
“ Quan I should go back and heal her.” Lan tries to go back and I keep her going forward. She is shaking with something I thought would never touch her . . . fear.
“ Lan no. You may hurt her more than be a help to her.” I watch her face and she is holding back tears. Great Goddess she can cry. There is a feeling woman there. She nods and lets me lead her away from her friend.
I bring her to my tent and she begins to pace the floors like a caged were tiger. Her very long braid whipping around as she turns that I have to duck. She has learned to use her body as a weapon. She has two golden spikes at the end of it. She can make it a whip if need be. She once said her bending failed her and she would never be that vulnerable again. She trains with the warriors as well as bending. She is a lean mean fighting machine.
“ Dammit! I almost had that son of a bitch in my hands!” She stops to slams her fist on the table. The solid oak groans at the impact. Damn it the general in her is coming back.” I almost had him Quan!”
“ Who?” I bring her a drink. She snatches it from me and gulps it down in one gulp. She hands the cup back to me and I refill it. Yes it is the strongest alcohol I can find but it may calm her enough before she destroys the place.
“ The One Eyed Dragon that’s who! The Fire Lords own Son that’s who! PRINCE FUCKING ZUKO! I would have had him if it wasn’t for that whore Mai or that fucking traitor Jong Jong!” She gulps the amber liquid down before throwing the cup away. She begins pacing again. She is a caged animal that needs relief. Maybe with this frenzy her body is in can be quenched with another kind.

“ Lan calm down. Tell-“
“ I will not calm down! I would have had him and this war would have been over!” Haru and one of the Dia Li call to her. She looks to me and I nod.
“ Enter!” They do not hesitate to answer her call and stand before her. She goes to Haru and takes him by the shoulders.
“ How is Katara ?” her voice has softened asking about her friend. I know it is not the effect of the alcohol yet but it is a nice voice to hear. For too long we have all heard the general . . . now we hear the woman.
“ The healers say it is too soon to tell, but you did get her here in time.” He smiles at her and squeezes her elbow. She nods her head once and, backs away from him. I watch her face turn to stone now. I can feel her rage coming back like a tidal wave.
“ I want Jong Jong arrested on sight! I want that son of a bitch traitor in my hands before nightfall tomorrow! Find him now!” They both bow to her and leave quickly. They know what will happen if they fail. She takes up pacing like a caged animal.
“ Lan.” She stops pacing and looks at me. It is beginning to rain. It is a sound and a feel I thought Ozai had taken from us. I watch Lan’s body and can see sweat there glistening. I want to taste it. I want to taste her. Something is happening. I can usually control my lust for this woman better than this.
“ Sun Quan.” She whispers to me. Her body is now calling to mine. I can feel her. I can feel the woman that wants to be pleasured emerging from sleep.
Her eyes are doing something strange. When she is angry, they are either a steel blue or a ruby-red but these are violet. I have never seen this. I have to touch her skin. I don’t know why. I let my finger glide down her arm. Her skin is hot to the touch. Usually it is cold but she is on fire. I let my finger glide back up her arm and over her shoulder. I take her neck and bring my head down to kiss her collar bone. She tilts her head and gives me access. The alcohol must be working. She needs this as much as I do.
I bring her closer against my body. She is so hot. I licked her neck and kneed her butt threw the flimsy white fabric. She sighs and I feel her hands on my shoulders. I let my hand come back to the front and let my thumb gently circle the skin just above her woman’s opening. She moans deep in her throat. I look to see her close her eyes and her head slowly falls back. I lick her neck and run my finger up and down that little love line.
“ Yesss.” She hisses. She has denied her body pleasure for too long. I let my finger slowly glide into her tight little channel while my thumb carefully rubs the little ball of flesh that seems to grow harder with each gentle stoke. I have to kiss her. I have to taste that mouth of hers. I bring her head back up and her mouth is inches away. She is ready for this she has craved this as much as I have. I am about to claim her mouth and I feel her stiffen and turn her head.
“ Lan, let it happen.” I try again and she keeps her head turned.
“ I told you before I can still have sex but that is it. No man will have love from me.” I release her and look into her eyes. They are slowly going back to their steel blue color.
“ You are a cold woman Lan.” I back away from her and cannot keep from panting. I felt it. She was ready to receive me. We would have both enjoyed it. Her body was answering the call but her mind will not. That bastard still owns her mind, body, and soul.
“ I am what Zuko made me.” She bows her head to me before turning on her heal and leaving. I will have to settle for my aid Laet again tonight.
                                                                        * * *
((( Zuko )))
I try not to hold my side that still hurts. I never really realized how powerful my wife really was till she tried to kill me. I can still see her standing over me ready to take my life . . . Agni help me, but I wanted her right there. I would have gotten Katara and me both away if it wasn’t for Mai following us. I should have known better though. I would not have made it out alive if it wasn’t for Jong Jong. Mai and I would both be burned to a crisp if he hadn’t of started fighting with Lan. Now he and I are on her most wanted list.
To see her body silhouette against the moon . . . it still makes me catch my breath to remember. To see her skin glow with all that she is, it was like looking at her for the first time like I did in the North Pole. I wanted to run to her to but I knew to wait for Jong Jong’s signal. Katara had other ideas. She is safe now that is what matters. Lan is a gifted healer . . . Katara will be fine. As for Jong Jong I have let him go, saying he is running an errand for me . . . which is not a lie. I have made it look like I was going to capture the Immortals General. I have spun it so far . . . I hope it holds.
I look and see that the Earth Kingdom warriors are ready. We will attack them at first light. I see no evidence of Lan or her Immortals. I do not think I will last another encounter like the one I just had from her. She is so full of hate against me but I knew it was coming. Jong Jong and Aang both tried to prepare me for what I would see and hear. They didn’t even come close.
“ They say the Ice Dragon will not fight.” Jordan is a good man and a fair Lieutenant. He and I have won many battles together now. One day when this is over I hope he will understand all that I have done and why. I don’t have many friends. I would like to keep him as one.
“ What do you know of the ‘Ice Dragon’?” I look to the Moon and can almost make out Yue’s face. Since seeing Lan in the Spirit World I have tried to get Yue to help me. I ask her every night I see her to turn Lan back to the woman we all knew. Yue I don’t think listens to me.
“ They say she has no heart. They say she kills without remorse or thought. They say she is a god and will never die.”
I have heard all these things and more. I have heard she drinks the blood of the fallen fire soldiers she kills. I have heard she puts the main generals heads on pikes and lines them up to lead to her tent. She is so feared and yet I still love her. It is my fault that she is this way. She is what I have made her. She was once a beautiful flower. Now . . .
“ What do you say?” I look to him and he thinks before answering. He knows that I want the truth. I want his honest opinion.
“ That she is what she is. She is a very finely tuned instrument of destruction. She leads both the Water Tribes and will one day soon have the Fire Nation on it’s knees. Ozai cannot win against her. Her hate burns brighter then his.” He bows to me respectfully and leaves to make us ready for tomorrow.
He is right. She is an Instrument of Destruction. An instrument that I have created. I look to the moon and can see Yue’s face. I can see how when they were children they would dye their hair to look like twins. At first glance you would see it but with careful scrutiny like that of an artist . . . or a lover you could see all the subtle differences. I can see Yue’s silent tears. She has tried but Lan hears nothing.
“ I will have to kill her won’t I? Only death will stop her? ” I watch as Yue covers her face and slowly nods. I close my eyes and bite back the cry of anguish that wants to escape me. Agni let me die tomorrow. I cannot kill her neither can my heart die as hers has. I am not that strong. Lan was always the strong one.
Wearily I make my way back to camp and to my lonely tent. I can feel their relief at the news the Immortals will not fight tomorrow. The Earth King requested it of them. They are going to be used in something grander but what no one knows. The troops are saying something to me but I can’t hear them I can only hear Lan’s final words to me tonight.
“ Start hiding Demon Prince because I will be the death of you.” At least death comes in a lovely package.
I opened the flap and expected to be alone. What is before me now when I was fourteen would have made me jump her in a heart beat. Now since what happened when I came back from my ‘education’ at the Jade Pavilion I am disgusted. She isn’t hateful to look at but she is too thin. She is for lack of better description still a board with hair. Grant it, she has a chest but she is not the curvy luscious woman my immortal wife is.
“ Zuko.” A very naked Mai purrs laying on my bed.
“ Mai get out. I am not in the mood for my sisters’ bitch’s games.” I shouldn’t have said that and I shouldn’t get off on the pleasure casing her pain but it is the type of night I have had. I watch her jump up and keel before me on the bed.
“ Zuko let us play nicely together.” She lets her hand glide across the fabric of my tunic and chest. I grab her wrists to stop this and throw her off the bed.
“ I don’t want to play Mai. I want sleep.” I shrug out of it and wait to hear her to leave. I turn to look at her still standing there with an evil grin on her face. “ I told you to leave.”
“ Are you sure? If I leave here without what I came for I will go to your Father and tell him everything.” She crawls back onto the bed like a cat. She lies on her back propping herself on her elbows and spreads her leg.
“ What are you blabbering about?” I stand at the foot of the bed and stare down at her.
“ I know how you plan to help kill your father. I know how you let the water witch get away on purpose. I know she isn’t your real wife. I know how you make it seem that you were fucking her to make your father happy . . . I know all this because I was the spy. Your father sent me as his spy”
“ Really.” I crawl up her body and watch her eyes widen. If she wants to play games with a prince, I will show her why I am the one eyed dragon. I use my bending to heat my hand and hold her by her throat squeezing. “ Then I should just kill you.”
I watch her panic and I am excited. I feel my body responding to her whimpers. I have slipped into madness or another thought that hasn’t occurred until now. I am feeding off of Lan’s blood lust.
When the comet arrived, I felt it through my Father. All of the Fire Benders felt it, but now that it is leaving and with Lan’s abilities waxing, the blood lust is now probably just effecting her. She is at the height of her power and it makes sense. This thought scares and comforts me all at once. If I can feel her still then there is hope. There is hope that her heart still lives.
“ I will keep quite as the grave if you give me what you owe me. I will keep quite for one night of the pleasure that was denied me because of your marrying the water witch!” I release her throat enough so she can breathe and think a moment.
I can’t kill her in cold blood that is not my way but to give her what she wants is not my way either. I didn’t know I was supposed to marry her till I returned home. I have dishonored her by my ‘marriage’ to Katara. Even though I am hurting her, she still wants me. She is grinding her hips into me and I can’t resist.
“ You want me. Fine I will give you what you want!” I flip Mai onto her stomach. I pull her so that she is on her hand and knees. I grab her hips keeping her there. She doesn’t move but she does yelp in surprise. I run my finger up and down her little slit and can feel her enjoying this. I am possessed. It has to be Lan’s blood lust . . . the alternative is too painful to think of. The alternative of Lan being pleasured by, another man and I can feel it . . .
“ Oh yes! ” Mai hisses and wiggles her tiny rear.
I growl before ripping my pants off and impaling her. I can’t help it. I know I have just torn down her virginal door and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed causing her pain. I enjoy her whimpers as I grab her by her raven tresses and yanking her head back. I don’t even give her time to adjust before I move her back on forth on my length making her back arch as I wind my hand in her hair. I look down and can see the evidence of her virginity slipping down her thighs. She is so tight and wet that I am driven now. I can’t help it but her moans and her whimpers are a sweet symphony.
“ ZUKO!” I keep pounding her and can feel her woman response to what I have done. I enjoy watching her hands grip the sheets. I keep working myself in and out of her and enjoy her body shaking as she still is enjoying it. I bring her so that she is flush with my chest still yanking her by her hair.
“ You don’t get off that easy.” I bite her ear and laugh at her cry of pain. I pull out of her slick cave and reposition my self so that I will enter another tiny wet place. I am slick with her virginal blood.” You wanted me. You will have me.”
“ I hate you!” She screams as I enter that tight little cove nestled between the line of her tiny bottom. I have only let the head go into her. This feels better than her secret tunnel. Her nails digging into my hips should not feel so good but they do. I should not be enjoying this but I am loving every minute of it.
“ Isn’t this what you wanted?” I push my full length into her and feel her stiffen. Her face is flushed and so is her sweat glistened skin. She is panting hard her heart racing a mile a minute and I am still excited by this.
“ You’re an animal!” She hisses before I thrust again and she moans. I let go of her hair and hold her against me by her small breasts. I pinch her very erect nipples hard and she moans louder.
“ Yes and you still want me don’t you?” I move my hips slowly back and forth. I should hate this. I am practically raping her but I can’t stop. It is like I am watching myself and someone or something else has taken over.” You still love me don’t you Mai?”
“ Yes . . . I still love you.” Her tears have driven me to the edge. I cannot control myself anymore and I let all the blood lust leave me and fill her to over flowing. I feel sweet release from it as I fill Mai with my seed. I let go of her now bruised apples and hold myself upright by her shoulders. I am so dizzy now. I haven’t felt this bad since I remembered what I went through at the Jade Pavilion. I push her down onto the bed and watch as she weakly grabs the sheets to cover herself.
“ Now.” My heart is racing and it won’t stop. I can feel the thunder outside and know there is a storm coming. It has not rained since the comet came. I can feel the rain now.” I gave you what you want. In return you keep silent or I will keep you ‘silent as the grave’.”
“ As you wish my love.” She whispers and watches me find another set of clothes. I hurriedly put them on and grab the black bag. I had a back up plan to get Katara away from here. Now I use it for myself. After I saved Lan I put the Blue Spirit to bed . . . now I wake him again. I take the bag that has money the mask and swords and I am about to slip away into the night when I have to say it. I have to come back to myself.
“ What happened was not love or rape Mai. Rape would have flattered us both.” I let the flap fall and steal away like a thief in the night.
I make my way into the night. I keep walking letting the rain fall onto my skin and try to lie again. It ry to believe that I am making my way back to Lan.The rain is cool and refreshing and feels like Lan’s touch. I feel all the blood lust leaving me. I feel it being washed away by the rain.
I still can’t believe what I did to Mai. Looking back on it I believe it was revenge. Revenge over her fucking up what could have been a reunion with Lan. Revenge because she was the one who reported to my father that I wasn’t being a husband to Katara. Because of Mai I did have to enter Katara once a month. I had to betray Lan once a month to save her sister. The first few times I did have sex with Katara I cried. Every time I had to take Katara I felt I was betraying Lan. Now I won’t have to anymore.
I have no concept of time as I make my way over the plains. My hair is hanging in my face and I am soaking wet. I will probably catch a cold and die. NO . . . I can’t die. I have to live long enough to see Lan one more time. Even if she kills me, I have to see her lovely face one last time. Thinking of her I drive myself to keep walking and I see it. The abandoned farm that June had taken Lan to when I freed her from Nobu. I enter the barn and see two figures before a fire. They both stand and Jong Jong is short compared to the bald headed one.
“ For the love of Agni Zuko what happened to you?” Jong Jong looks me over before taking the black bag from me. I let him and he moves me to the fire. I am so cold and tired now I just want to sleep and dream. I want to wake and know this has been a nightmare.
“ I felt Lan’s blood lust. I was apart of it. I used it to escape and keep someone quiet.” I watch them both turn their heads away from me.
“ Then it is true. Lan is a monster.” His voice is deeper then I remember but it is his none the less.
“ Lan is what I made her Aang. Lan is what I made her.” I sink down onto the ground and feel heavy. I look up at Aang as his grey eyes fill up with many years of pain.
“ No Zuko. She is what we both made her.” He looks at Jong Jong before looking at me through the flames. “ She is what all three of us have made her.”

Okay if this was too dark, I blame chocolate-covered espresso beans and my Ipod. I have got to stop listening to Breaking Benjamin’s “Breath” and anything by Evanescence. Not to mention the Soundtrack to 300. It’s gonna get worse. This hasn’t begun to get dark ( for Lan that is ) . . . thought I would mention that.
