Princess' Shrink [Azula X reader]

(A/N: We're near the end, everyone!!)

"Suki!" Zuko yells in a panic. "Are the Kyoshi warriors ready?" 

Zuko's voice echoed through the halls of the Fire Nation palace. Suki swiftly emerged from inside her chambers, her face full of determination.

Suki turns her back to see the Firelord running towards her. "Yes, they're lined up outside the palace," she responds quickly. 

"Zuko!" Another urgent yell pierces the air. The two turn to see the Avatar running towards them. "It's almost midnight. You should be in your office, that was the plan!"

"I know," Zuko sighs, stressed about what was to come. "We can't find Y/n anywhere. Have you seen her? Azula's making a fuss." 

"No, I haven't," Aang replies. "We have to find her." 

"You don't have time!" Suki's voice rises urgently. "It's almost nearing midnight. Be safe in your office, I'll look for Y/n myself."

Zuko and Aang exchange a glance, and Zuko's expression softens as he looks at Suki. "Thank you Suki," Zuko says. The Kyoshi warrior gives him a soft smile and then runs down the hallways. 

She looks around the dimly lit halls, her steps silent as she moves with purpose. Her eyes scan every nook and cranny as she searches every room in the palace; however,  

Despite her thorough search and unwavering determination, Suki can't find any trace of Y/n. The palace feels quiet and empty as she continues her search for the therapist. She checks every room, opens every door, and calls out her name, but there's no response. Anxiety gnaws at the edges of her focus as time ticks away, and the midnight deadline only adds to the urgency.

"Suki!" Ty Lee yells from around a corner. "Come on, we have to line up outside the palace!" 

"But I can't find Y/n-"

"I'm sure she can handle herself!" The acrobat responds, grabbing Suki's arm and pulling her out of the palace. "Our priority is to protect the palace."

Y/n POV 

Y/n sighs as she stretches her arms. She looks at her room, her gaze landing on a neatly folded-up letter resting on a table, and a soft smile graces her lips as she reaches for it. It was the letter Azula had written to her. 

The doctor looks up at her candle-clock and then gasps. The realization hits her like a bolt of lightning. It's midnight – the very moment she was meant to leave before the attack on the palace. Panic surges through her as the urgency of the situation becomes clear.

Quickly, she runs out of her room, going towards Zuko's office. 

But Y/n stops when she hears a loud thump behind her. She turns back slowly to see a masked figure in front of her. 

All that Y/n can feel is a sharp pain that erupts in her stomach. She looks down to see a searing knife being thrust into her. Her panic rises as she feels warmth spreading beneath her clothes. She looks back up to see the masked figure running away from her. Y/n's head is dizzy and suddenly she feels herself falling. Then, darkness.
