Hi guys. So, I've been off FanFiction for what seems to be the longest, but I've finally returned. I hope you enjoy the first chapter of my new LOK AU!

3rd Person POV

It was muggy in Amon's throne room. The walls made of packed dirt were wet with moisture. No sound bounced off the walls, only the sound of his own breathing. Amon rested on his throne, his arms placed neatly on the handles. He was waiting for Gabriel, one of his workers, to come back with a head. The head of a man who's had a bounty for several years. If Gabriel didn't have it, Amon would have to kill him. It was that simple.

Sounds echoed from the walls, signaling someone was approaching the room. Two guards stood in the doorway, making post by the door. Gabriel stepped in, and just as Amon was about to scream in anger, Gabriel pulled out a bloody head wrapped in cloth stained with blood from behind his back.

Amon knew Gabriel couldn't see him smile behind his mask, but he did it anyway. "Excellent job, Gabriel. " He whispered, cracking his knuckles.

"Now, where is Korra?"

Korra's POV

"Hurry the fuck up! I got shot, for crying out loud!" I exclaimed. The pain surged through my body like an electrical shock. Bolin dragged me along the grass, the blood staining it a red color. I felt hot tears rolling down my face. My hand clasped over the bullet and wound. Blood soaked my hand.

"Stay calm, Korra. Mako 's going to take the bullet out, okay?" Asami said. She crouched down to meet me at eye level, her hair becoming a shield from the blazing sun.

Mako appeared with metal tweezers, crouching down also. My eyes widened.

"Please tell me you're not about to stick those inside of me." I said, seriousness cloaking my tone. Bolin laughed. And I knew what he was laughing about. He was such a perv.

"I have to, Korra. It's the only way to stop the pain. Hold still." He replied, taking my hand off the wound. He slowly inserted the tweezers in and began to pull out the bullet. I gritted my teeth and squeezed my eyes closed tighter. It hurt like hell.

"Almost there. Hold tight." With one final jerk, the bullet was out my body. Asami had ran into our bounty's house and found a towel. She pressed it over my now pumping blood wound.

"Just keep applying pressure until we get you to the hospital." Asami said, helping me by pressed her hand over mine.

"He got away, didn't he?" I asked silently. A slight breeze was the only sound that followed.

"Shit. Amon's gonna be pissed." I gulped in anger.

"Oh, and fun fact, he might kill us. We don't have what he wants. You remember what happened to Luke." Asami grumbled. The distant memory came back to me. I stood there, cringing as Amon sliced Luke's head off, blood splattering among the walls. And the only thing Amon said after killing the innocent man was, "We'll need a new rug. This one's got blood all over it."

"You're right, Asami. I don't want to go back if we don't have what he wants." Bolin agreed.

"But, how are we going to survive? What if he has people go out and search for us?" Mako countered. We all sat there on the side of our bounty's house. Cops would be here any second.

"I don't know, but I'll do whatever it takes to stay alive." Asami said. She was pressing down harder on my woud.

"Man, I knew I should have shot sooner!" I exclaimed.

"Korra, it's not your fault. His bullet hit you first and he got away. It'll be fine. We just have to…find a way to get by without bounty hunting. Maybe we could, get a job – a real job – and sort of live a normal life." Mako said. I looked down at the blades of grass.

"You're right."

"Let's get out of here, before the cops question us and we'll die in jail." Bolin said, standing up. He helped me up and we all left the scene.

3rd Person's POV

Amon was surprised as soon as a guard ran up to him, out of breath. Amon was pouring himself a glass of water.

"What is it?" He asked. The guard stood straight and cleared his throat.

"I have gotten word that the bounty Korra and the others were supposed to have killed is still alive. He's roaming the streets of Republic City."

Amon felt a strong sense of anger. His whole body tensed.

"Where are Korra and the others now?" Amon asked, trying to keep his from exploding with hatred.

"We've gotten nothing from theme, sir. They haven't returned." The guard said. The cup of water in Amon's hand was crushed, glass littering the ground.

"When they have returned, let me know. So I can kill each and every one of them."

Thanks for reading the first chapter, guys. Please review and follow the story! Feedback is greatly appreciated! Next update will probably be tomorrow because I start school again on Tuesday, but I'll let you all know. Have a great day!
