Chapter Thirteen
*Elizabeth's POV*
I was sitting in the garden, gazing out at the sky and fluffy wisps of clouds. I felt strange, sad, like something wasn't right. My mind felt weird and empty, but I didn't know what to make of it. All I had in my head was weird information that didn't make any sense. It was all this stuff about a Fire Nation and it's history and culture. It was stuffed in my head, it felt, and I had been quizzed in the big room with the wall of fire. But I didn't remember how the information got into my head. I only remembered being taken to a room and then I knew all this information. What was going on?
I heaved a sigh, and looked down into the pond in front of me, seeing my reflection. The person looking back at me looked like a stranger, someone I had never seen. Who was that? What was her name? Her eyes looked very empty, and her face was pale. There were bags under her eyes and she had worry lines creased into her forehead. The poor girl, I thought, she must be very tired. I wonder how she got here...
I jerked my head up at a different feeling, a sucking feeling. What was happening? The air started to look swirly and I felt very lightheaded, and there were loud whooshing noises. I wanted to yell for someone to help and tell me what the heck was going on, but my mind seemed to resist.
When the swooshing, swirling, and dizziness ceased, I was in a totally different place. I was still seated on the groud, which was now a carpet instead of the grass that i had previously been on.
I looked up, and saw some people standing above me. I felt like I knew them, except for the one closest to me. Her face was red and she looked strained and weak.
The place I was in was a small house with brick walls. Or was it a room? There were multiple doors on the walls so I had to be in a room of some sort.
"Where... What's going on?" my voice asked quietly, sounding odd. "What... What's... happen...ing...." Blackness quickly shrouded my vision, and my mind was lost of conciousness.
*Zuko's POV*
"What happened to her? Tell me! Armelle?!" Elizabeth had collapsed to the ground, and I ran over to her, holding her. Armelle didn't look so good, she was weak on her knees and was sweating. "Armelle?" I asked again, and she collapsed.
"Zuko! She was tired enough! She must be weakened by using her power too much. Aang, help me get her onto the couch in the other room." Katara and Aang quickly came to Armelle's side, and Aang used his airbending to gently lift her and go to another room.
I looked down at Elizabeth. She looked pale and had big dark bags under her eyes. How would she get her memory back if Armelle wasn't available?
I turned my gaze over to Sokka and Toph, and then back to Elizabeth. I sighed, and lifted her up, bridal style.
"Do you know where a bed might be?" I asked Sokka and Toph. Sokka shook his head.
"Nope. I don't know either." Toph replied.
"Okay..." I breathed, and then ventured out through one of the doors, hoping I would reach a bed of some sort. the door I went through took me out into a hallway with grey walls. There were more doors lining the hall, and it seemed to go on for a while and turn at the end. I tried multiple doors, most of which were locked. My arms were getting tired after a while, and I wasn't sure if I could carry her much longer.
Just when I was about to give up hope, a door down the hall opened.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" I called out, but there was no answer. I carefully snuck down the hall, and peeked into the room. It had a big bed, a dresser, a bookshelf, a closet, and a basin with water and a towel. It seemed to bed unoccupied, but i decided I would check just in case. I gently placed Elizabeth on the bed, and started searching the room.
