Chapter 14 – Recovery
Lady Pea, Lord Pea, and the Ty sisters all rush back home to see the oddball of the family curled up and napping on a pillow drenched with tears. Lady Pea feels her heart break as she smells blood and cum. She promptly tears up and kicks out Lord Pea.
She pulls off Nuwa’s blanket and sees no visible injuries or anything wrong with her body.
The concerned mother puts a serious face on, “Does any one of you know what Nuwa was up to today?”
Ty La and the others look to Ty Li. She gets nervous and says, “There’s been rumors of Lady Ursa going missing so Nuwa must have found a way to go and console Azula.”
Lady Pea screeches, “She snuck into the Palace?!”
Ty Li gets even more nervous and she shakes so much that ripples are visible on the exposed part of her cleavage. “Umm.. ermm.. She asked me not to tell but.. Nuwa is very sneaky, she can get in anywhere with the hook she uses to spar.”
The other sisters are perfectly fine staying silent and claiming ignorance.
Lady Pea humphs at Ty Li, “You are in trouble for letting her get away with this for so long, young lady.”
Ty Li lowers her head.
“I’m sure you four also knew or suspected something!”
The other four sisters lower their heads.
Lady Pea breaks into tears, ‘Oh my poor baby.’
Ty Li also looks like she’s about to cry, “Nuwa never cried this much even when throwing tantrums or getting hurt. Something must have happened.”
Ty La coldly remarks, “It must have been that bitch, Azula. I’ve always told Nuwa to stay away from her.”
Lady Pea shudders in fear at the thought of that sadistic princess raping her poor baby with a dildo and being unable to do anything about it.
Ty Ly tries to mediate, “Let’s all calm down and wait until she wakes up to hear the story.”
Lady Pea composes herself and orders Lord Pea who’s still standing outside in worry to get Nuwa’s favorite dish. Lord Pea orders the maids to make some homemade chocolate chip cookies and milk and supervises the process so that every step is done perfectly.
The ladies make small talk while grabbing some chairs and sitting around the bed. When the cookies and milk enter the room, Nuwa’s nose picks up on the delicious scent of melted chocolate and well done cookie dough. She starts to stir and opens her eyes to see Lady Pea lying next to her on the bed looking at her with worry.
Nuwa’s eyes tear up in relief as she looks at the worried face. “Mother.. Waaaaaaaah.. Wahhhh.”
Nuwa cries hard as her mother hugs her into her bosom and rocks Nuwa in her arms. “Shh.. you’re OK baby, you’re safe, you’re with family.” The Ty sisters start tearing up too, even the serious and stoic Ty La. They’ve never seen Nuwa so upset. The last time they saw Nuwa cry was when she was 9 and she stubbed her toe trying to show off jumping around with her hookblade.
Ty Ly gets the plate of cookies and brings it to the bed, “Here sis, your favorite.” Nuwa detaches from her Mother and takes a big bite out of the melty cookie. The sisters start to giggle cuz she gets snot and chocolate all over her lips.
Nuwa pouts and gulps some milk. Lady Pea tries to contain herself from asking Nuwa to explain about the blood and cum.
By now, Nuwa is fully awake and touched at how much her family cares about her, the oddball, despite how much she doesn’t look like their family with her caramel-brown skin, platinum blonde hair. Her mother and sisters all have light skin and brown hair. Nuwa knows that she owes everyone an explanation about today so she sniffles a bit and prepares herself.
“Azula and I started a sexual relationship 2 days ago.”
Lady Pea gasps. The sisters just nod.
Nuwa rolls her eyes, “I’m not a lesbian mom, I still like boys.”
Nuwa says, “I think Azula feels an obsessive sense of possession towards me as if I’m an object. I wanted to change the way she thinks about our relationship, but I messed up.”
Nuwa buries her head in her chest and puts her hands on her head, “I snuck into the palace and the balcony I entered from took me into Zuko’s room. I consoled him about his mother and.. and.. I gave him my virginity.”
Lady Pea gasped even louder.Nuwa teared up a little. “Somehow Azula found us. She looked mad and betrayed. She started torching the whole room. I disabled her, but not before Zuko got burnt badly on his face. I told her I still loved her, but that I hated her for doing that to her big brother. Then I got dressed and ran back here.”
All the ladies came up to give Nuwa a tight group hug. Lady Pea shuddered with fear at the thought of a rampaging Azula, “Oh my poor baby. You did good. You did your best. I’m so glad you’re not hurt.”
Ty Lu awkwardly mentions, “Aren’t Zuko and Mai dating?”
Nuwa coughs, gets out of the hug, and shamelessly says, “Of course they are, I made sure that Mai lost her virginity to Zuko first before taking my share of the pie.”
Lady Pea interrupts before Nuwa can introduce the concept of casual sex to the innocent sisters, “Nuwa dear, what happens now? How are you going to fix your relationship with Azula and Zuko?”
The unstated question that Nuwa picks up on is “will her actions cause trouble for the family” and she hopes that it’s no, because she feels monstrous fear at the thought of her family suffering due to her mistakes and choices.
Nuwa thinks for some time and says, “We need to leave, just Azula and I. We’re strong enough to protect ourselves, but we have to take some time and do some introspection together.”
Lady Pea says, “Ok baby, ok baby. We can all take a vacation.”
The sisters nod.
Nuwa looks up and smiles heartwarmingly at her family. “I have to leave with Azula so that I can teach her how to be a normal human. If anyone else is there, she will hurt them. She likes me too much to intentionally attack me when I’m not attempting to chi-block her. This is an ordeal given to me by fate. There’s no other way forward.”

Princess Azula stares at the sky from the tallest viewpoint of the palace with sorrow. Fire Lord Ozai approaches and stands by her side.
“It’s not like you to lose control like that.”
Azula looks at the city and replies, “Where’s Mother?”
Ozai frowns and truthfully replies, “I’ve sent her away.”
Azula sighs with relief, ‘Maybe she can find happiness again out there.’
By now, she felt a deep and gnawing hatred build up within her for these Fire Nation walls that created the monster that Nuwa hates within her. Princess Azula knew everything Monster Azula did, it was like a switch was flipped where she loses control but sees everything.
Princess Azula doesn’t actually hate Zuko, she just torments him to make her feel better. She knows he doesn’t deserve it, but that’s just how she is. Monster Azula wanted him dead. Subconsciously, she feels a desire to change for Nuwa’s sake. Her unfaithful one true love.
