Ami (Waterbender)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wasn't sure what was going on, one minute I'm pulling myself up the cliff from a ledge that Toph had made
'Gotta remember to thank her for saving my ass' I thought as I started up, but I felt strong hands stop my shoulders and lay me back down
"Fang? Where are we?" I asked
"We fell over the cliff, airbending is the only way we survived" he said
"Fang, your hurt" I noted noticing the cuts in several places on his body
"Don't worry about me, you're pretty beat up there"
"Yeah... your right" I coughed slightly
"Rest, Ami"
"Fang, there is something you need to know"
"When after my parents died I became mute, for almost a year I was completely mute" I sighed
"Oh..."
"When I finally did start talking I was very bitter... I hated anything to do with the fire nation, with obvious reasons" I paused "I sometimes dream that they never killed my parents 'cause their memory and what was expected of myself and my sister is what drove the two of us appart, I rarely see her anymore" tears fell down my cheeks "I miss her Fang"
I'm sure I put him in a hard place at the moment, I could see that he was rather shocked, but I could see him relax??quickly
"I'm sure you'll get in touch with her again"
"I hope so" I sat up and burried my face in my hands and began to sob
"Ami..." his voice trailed off as I felt him gently grab my wrists and pull my hands from my face, before I knew it he had embraced me gently, I held onto the fabric of his shirt and continued to cry. I was finally letting go
I??calmed down a bit and whispered "Today's my mother's birthday, that's why I'm thinking about them so much"
I could feel him tense??with shock
"I'm sorry" he whispered
"It's okay" I replied "I've been dealing with this for ten years"
"Really?"
I slipped up and planted a kiss on his lips
"I am now, aren't I?" I snuggled down into his arms to let sleep take me

"I guess your right" he said and looked down to see Ami sleeping peacefully her cheeks sparkled with her tears and he knew that it was his job to take care of her. He softly strokes her head and whispers "don't worry Ami, you will?? always be safe,"
