It's Okay to Go

Chapter: 1

The four of them were thrown into the back of a truck. Hands bound behind their backs and cloths around their mouth muffling their speech.

They did all they could to save her, to save Korra. They all risked their lives to save a friend, but it was too late. The Red Lotus had won and they were headed to their uncertain doom.

He could feel her trembling by his side. Silent tears cascading down her face bathed in the moonlight. He could only imagine what she must be feeling right now.

Fear, pain, ….failure.

He couldn't help a few tears that slid from his eyes seeing her this way. He wanted to kiss her senseless and tell her that it's all going to be okay, but he knew that was only a lie.

He doesn't know what the Red Lotus has in store for them.

As his eyes further adjust to the darkness, he finally sees Bolin and Asami. Asami seems perfectly fine and untouched, but his brother is a different story. Swollen face, black eyes, and bruises. So many bruises. Ghazan was not kind.

But the real monster here is Zaheer. Trying to kidnap Korra when she was only four. What would they have done to her then? What will they do to her now? The mystery was unsettling! And that was the worst part.

The truck slowly came to a stop. His heart was beating out of his chest; he becomes clammy and hot.

She begins to squirm next to him, making a grunting sound, trying to break free of her binds. That's when the trucks door swings open. She's too late.

"P'Li, Ghazan, Ming-Hua, you go get the spares. I've got Korra."

Zaheer and the group then proceed to take them inside a building hidden from the naked eye. The corridor is dark and cold and hasn't been cleaned in what seems like … well, ever. At the end of the hallway is a holding cell, soon to become their new home.

When they are unbound and the door slams shut, Korra bolts upward and begins pounding on the door with her delicate fist. Fresh blood begins to form on her knuckles as she cries out for help. No one will save them.

"Korra! Korra! Please stop, you're hurting yourself!" Mako exclaims cradling her hurt hands in his. He kisses each knuckle. Being extra careful when she hisses in pain.

His eyes trail up to meet hers; they're still red and irritated from her tears. He takes his thumbs and runs them over her cheeks, wiping away the leftover ones.

He leans in to kiss her, but just before their lips touch, he backs away.

They just broke up only a month ago. He knows that he's still madly in love with her, but so far he's seen no signs that she reciprocates these feelings. And the last thing he wants to do is complicate things even more then they already were.

He ends up going in for a hug instead. He buries his chin in the nape of her neck, breathing in her scent. And holds her as close to him as humanly possible.

"You mean so much to me… us, Korra. No matter what happens you will always be the same beautiful, selfless, and brave girl we've ever known. Please remember that."

In a room that is enveloped in silence, she replies.

"Thank you"

And falls asleep in his arms.
