TRAPPED IN THE MEMORIES OF OUR PAST
CHAPTER ONE: WELCOME TO THE SHOW
Okay, so I decided to write a fic. With my favourite types of fan fiction, and being trapped in memories is one, some show I watched long time ago inspired me to write this, I think, but I can't really remember the name.
So for now ENJOY!

Azula stood surrounded by her brother, and uncle, and team avatar.
Her clever cruel mind had already formed a plan, she could just strike her useless fat uncle, those pathetic people will go after him, and she could either escape or strike them all.
Before Azula could actually implement her plan, she remembered what she had in her pocket from earlier.
FLASHBACK
The Princess of the fire nation approached a small earth kingdom village.
The weirdest thing was that she came on foot, people who worked with her were so weak and slow, she couldn't afford to have them slow her down, she couldn't afford to fail like her brother Zuzu.
It had been only a few days since her father gave her this mission, she needed to find the avatar, and her useless brother and uncle.
The fire princess entered the village, she did know that it was small, but she never imagined to find a place that they called a village, it was so small, probably made of ten houses or so in the middle of the desert.
In the fire bender's opinion, this was part of the barbaric uncivilized earth kingdom peasants, the fire nation did have the right to wipe them out just like it wiped the air nomads, or the southern water benders.
The fire nation wanted a civilized world, the perfect world, the golden age you can say, and people like that simply didn't fit there.
Azula could feel gazes casted to her, from a corner were the peasants crowded to as she stepped her foot in the "village".
She hated to be gazed at, she was of a higher status than them for sure and they didn't bow, maybe it was the time someone should start teaching them manners.
She slowly turned, blue flames dancing at her palm,
"Didn't you peasants learn any manners?" She said in a soft silky voice.
No answer.
She shot the flames right over their heads, some were hit in the head and fell down dead as gasps and cries were heard from the windows of other houses.
"You bow to your princess, and answer her peasants." She said in her calm voice, shot another jet of flames that killed all of the ungrateful uncivilized peasants, and then she simply turned around to the first house she saw.
The princess of fire kicked the door with blue flames engulfing her red and black boots.
Inside she found a woman and an infant.
The woman had tears streaming down her face, she was holding her baby close to her chest.
Azula could tell that one of the men outside could have been her husband.
The woman was short, and thin, she had tan coloured skin probably from working in this hot climate under the sun's burning whips, black messy uncombed hair that was pulled to the simplest bun Azula had ever seen, her eyes were dark green and they were misty from her silver tears, her nose was so delicate and small, as for her lips they were as small as cherries and as pink as cherry blossoms.
She wore simple torn apart green peasant robes, as for the baby it was less than a year old, for now it was sleeping rather peacefully in its mother's arm, the baby did look a lot like it's mother as it had her nose, lips, and skin, its eyes were shut peacefully.
After Azula was done studying the two peasants, she moved closer to the mother as her whimpers grew louder and louder.
She couldn't fight, this whole village was made of none benders after the fire nation took all their earth benders a few years ago, now the young daughter of hers would die before she even got to see the world, her whimpers grew louder and louder as such thoughts passed her mind.
"I'll give you whatever you want, but please leave my daughter and village alone, please." The woman said between sobs.
Typical, Azula thought, they always try to act so brave.
The fire princess walked towards the earth peasant in proud fearless steps, in one swift quick motion the fire bender was holding the woman's neck squeezing hard that the baby fell from her arms and hit the rock ground then started to cry.
The woman wanted to soothe her baby, but she was held in a deadly iron grip.
Azula hated to hear sobs she looked down where the baby was crying at her feet.
"Shut up." She said simply, then the princess quickly summoned blue flames to her palms and aimed at the baby, she successfully hit it and it was silent, dead.
The woman's eyes winded and chocked sobs escaped her throat as she looked at her baby, now it's beautiful face was no longer a face, it was burned terribly, all it's features were deleted, replaced with black ashes, so was nearly all the body as it was a tiny baby against a huge jet of flames.
The woman was speechless, her baby just died, her husband just died, in the hand of one child fire bender, were the fire benders this cruel?
"Tell me peasant, where's the avatar? I might think about letting this pathetic village go if you told me."
"I-I don't K-know." She said between sobs.
"Tell me!"
"I don't know! I swear in the name of Oma! Please let us go, we know nothing!"
Azula knew that the woman wasn't lying it was written all over her face, but still these people were useless, it won't matter if they lived or died, actually it would honour them to die under the hands of the fire princess, it was an honour they didn't deserve.
"Why would I do that? You are uncivilized pathetic peasants, you are a disease."
The woman's mind was racing, she needed to save her village, and then an idea occurred to her.
"We'll give you the only thing we have, please."
"And what's that?"
"I swear, it's there, I'll bring it." She motioned to a small wooden cupboard in the corner of the room.
Azula was bored of these peasants, they had no power, but for some reason she agreed.
The woman walked to the cupboard shaking and trying not to look at her baby, she brought out a small sack that all what this village had.
"This is the dirt of memories; a spirit gave it to our leader years and years ago." She said.
"What will that benefit me?" Azula asked harshly.
"W-when you throw it at anybody it'll make them see their worse memories until their mind and soul can no longer bear it and they die."
"That could be useful, yes, and I feel merciful today, I might think about letting go your village."
The woman gave Azula the sack, her face lit up with a gleam of hope, then Azula fire bent at her before she could even mutter thanks an ear tearing scream that was filled with agony and mispair was heard as the fire licked the woman's face, the scream would have made anyone drop crying, but not Azula, she wasn't week and pathetic, she was the future ruler, the daughter of Ozai, she showed no weakness.
"I said might peasant." She remarked evilly.
It was so fun to give them hope then kill them, Azula thought existing the house, she killed everyone in a blink of an eye and then continued her way with a satisfied smile.
End of flashback
Azula picked the sack from her pocket; she opened it quickly and then threw the magical dirt inside and threw it to her enemies.
Zuko, Iroh, Azula, and team avatar fell down as if they were in a very deep sleep.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o
Zuko woke up to find himself in the middle of pure white fog, someone was on the top of him, he tried to get up, but he couldn't.
"Get OFF me!" He yelled.
And slowly two figures got off him, they didn't bother to help him up, not that he cared, he later knew them as the water tribe peasant boy, and the blind earth bender, he stood up and started to watch them.
"Toph are you okay?" Sokka asked as he helped his young friend up.
Toph slowly opened her eyes, the strangest thing happened, she saw a boy in blue in front of her, and another one standing a bit far away he wore green robs.
Was she seeing? With her eyes? This was so wrong, and so unnatural, what the hell happened?
"I don't know Sokka, I-I can see." She was so worried that she actually used Sokka's name, Toph looked around her uncomfortly, seeing pure white fog, and her friends.
"Of course you can. You always see with your feet." He said in the simplest way.
"No, with my e-eyes." She said in some kind of fear.
"What?! Since when?!"
"Since now." She said still checking her surroundings, then she moved to look at her own self.
"That's odd... Where are Aang and Katara?" Sokka asked.
"I don't know."
"Can't you sense them?"
Toph tried to sense them, but she sensed nothing, she tried to bend, but she couldn't.
"I even can't bend!"
Zuko got up and watched the two people before him silently, great he was in the middle of Agni-knows-where with a stupid boy and a blind earth bender, he didn't know where his Uncle was, and he could've captured the Avatar.
Great, he thought, why Agni loved to torture me?
He couldn't remember how he got here, or why was he, or anything.
He heard the blind girl say that she couldn't bend, he kicked his fist expecting to find flames, but instead came nothing, and he tried again. And again, and again.
"Hey, look Zuko can't bend either!"
"What!"
"I can hear someone! Come on!" Yelled a voice from the dense fog.
Zuko was pushed down again by someone so heavy that he was able to feel his spine in his ribcage.
"Aang! Katara!" Sokka yelled.
"GET OFF ME!" Zuko yelled.
"Zuko!"
The voice of the one on him said, he recognized the voice as his uncle's.
Uncle Iroh got up off his nephew whom he accidently fell on; Uncle Iroh helped his nephew up.
"Where are we?" Aang asked.
"Dunno."
"It can't be that bad."
"Toph can see with her eyes, neither Toph nor Zuko can bend, and we have no clue where are we or who did we get here, how does that look?!" Sokka said sarcastically.
"What?!"
Soon the five benders plus Sokka were arguing, they didn't even notice Azula walking over.
"What did you do?!"
"Get her!"
"Where in Agni's name did you send us?!"
Before anyone could say anything else a voice spoke,
"You are in the world of your own memories, here you will suffer reliving your worst times, you can't bend or be seen, you the blind girl can see not to miss anything as you can't bend, I already said too much, let's start with the dragon of the west."
No one was able to say anything as the sense quickly changed.
