*A/N: Hey guys! This is a new story I wrote in collaboration with hyrulenation and she is an awesome writer so go check out her story With and Without You. The first few chapters are going to be on the shorter side since I am trying to introduce everything and for that I am sorry but they will get longer as the story starts developing. So I hope you enjoy our story! Leave us a review!*
Prologue
Mako:
Dying isn't as bad as they say it is. I mean, getting hit by a car? That's the part that hurt like a bitch. But you're too disoriented to notice the rushing of police cars and ambulances or the loud screams of bystanders on the sidewalks. It's like falling into a peaceful slumber not knowing if you will wake up. But I did.
I opened my eyes and looked at the sky. It was a dark blue, almost purple, with stars dotting the sky in a million different places. I turned my head to the left feeling no pain at all which confused me. All I saw were spirits and flowers. This has got to be the spirit world.
Then it dawned on me. I really must be dead.
Chapter 1
Asami:
Korra and I just got through a thick patch of woods when we sat on a rock to take a break. We have been in the spirit world for 2 weeks and I'm starting to get the hang of the tough terrain and the uncertainty of it all. This world was beautiful. The little bit that I got to see was amazing and it has been even better with Korra by my side.
"It is so beautiful today!" Korra shouted, throwing her head back laughing.
"You sure are" I said going behind her and wrapping my arms around her waist.
"No you are" she shot back, turning around as she talked. She took my face in her hands and gave me a peck on the lips.
We stayed by that rock for a while talking, laughing, and kissing. We eventually told each other that our break was over and we needed to get back on our feet to continue our hike.
"How about we walk this way?" Korra suggested pointing to a path on her left.
"Yeah sure!"
We took off walking hand in hand towards a mountain in the distance. I felt so content in that moment that it didn't matter what happened as long as I had Korra.
We were almost at the top of a hill when a familiar beam of green light came into view.
"The Spirit Portal!" I shouted taking off running.
I heard Korra break into a run behind me and a second later we were sprinting next to each other with big smiles on our faces. We started slowing down as we neared the glowing strip of light.
"What's that?" I said, pointing at a big black object in the distance.
"Not sure. Let's check it out" Korra replied, taking my hand in hers, "Be careful though. You never know what you're going to find here."
We slowed our pace even more as the black object became larger. As it started to take shape I realized what it was. Or who it was.
"Korra I think we should turn back…"
But she already figured out what it was and started running towards the collapsed body.
"Hey are you alright…" Korra started to say but then she saw the persons face. "MAKO?! What are you doing here?" She asked furiously.
Mako was lying on the ground so still, he could've been a statue. Mako didn't make a single move other than to turn his head towards us.
"Are you stalking us or something? I thought we had an understanding that this was over now. I'm with Asami and you just have to accept it."
He laid his head back down, staring at the sky again. I looked at Korra's face, seeing the identical look of annoyance that my face possessed. Mako sat up and started to take a look around. When he fully stood up with a confused look on his face Korra spoke up.
"Ugh I am so tired of you always budding into my life Mako. Let's go Asami." She pulled at my hand and started speed walking back the way we came.
I started running next to her so we could get out of there before Mako could explain himself. I couldn't think about anything other than the fact that we needed to get out of there.
