PARAMORE ROCKS MY WORLD!!!! Anyway hope you like you want to make some recomondations for this story or others feel free to message me. = )
All Zuko could do was stare at me. I was right in thinking that he didn't expect much, I could see a bit of anger in his eyes. Ok he's always angry but it's very noticalble when it hightens. I smirked keeping two throwing knives hidden in my sleeves incase things took a turn for the worst. "Prissy pants didn't you figure out that I can water bend, how stupid are you. Oh and before I forget you probebly want ot send someone to mop up your guard or he's going ot start stinking up this hunk of junk".
I think steam started to blow from his mouth he was really pissed.slowly he started to calm down. Then he smirked. "I had a deal I wanted to make with you..."
I smiled, when you tend to go by the word assasin you tend to forget to tell people your name. "Vailea".
Henodded, I could tell he was trying hard to show respect. When this guy wanted somthing it was obvious that he would pay through the nose to get it. "I need to capture the Avatar".
Ismiled seeing where this was going. "Letme lay thisout for you angry boy,I don't like fire benders,I don't support the war why should I help you".
His amber eyesflashed.'Because your life is on the line".
Ilooked out to the sea and sighed letting a sad smile play on my lips. "I welcome death, when you live with nothing but the cloaths on your back and weapons to kill life isn't as prescious as it useto be".
Iroh spoke up."We can pay your weight in gold".
I smiled and looked around pulling out of myh sad spiral. "I weigh only 120, make it your weight my dear old man andprissy I will have a deal".
Iroh laughed good heartdly."You've got yourself a deal Vailea".
Zuko interjected."But I also want to knowwho your target is".
Iroh paused unsure of my reaction.I shook my head as I got off the ship's railing. Iwas only a few inches from him. "That information remains between me and my employer".
Zuko looked put out. But an ideaformed in his head.He pushed a strand of hair from my shoulder. Iroh started to leave not wanting ot be involed in Zuko's fruitless attempts to charm the information out of me.I descided to play along.I walked behind him and played with his ponytail. "MaybeI could tell you".
Zuko turned his features light . I brushed my lips close to his. His eyes were wide and he triedto lean in. I pulledaway smiking. "Yeah right".
Walking away Zuko shot fire at me. I doged it feeling it singe my hair a bit. "throw all the fire you want. I still wont tell".
Zuko stormed off. Smiling I took a tour around the ship. I found myburned and bloodycloak in the garbage. I picked it up and took it on deck. I bended some water from a bucket and ran it through the cloath cleaning out the blood the stained it.I pulled out aneedle and thread from my belt and sew it back together. I hung it on a cord so it could dry.I started to shiver from the cold sea air. I still couldn't put my cloak on. I heard hissing from behind me. WhenI turned aroundI noticed my cloak lay steamingon the coard. Ihad a feeling Zuko had done this. I grabbed it and put it on. I was warm and comferting.PeacefulI laid out on a pile of rope and watched the moon hang over the sky.
