Hey everyone! This is for Korra week 2014! I must say I'm still not over Book 3's finale. I'm going to have to join therapy. This season was far one of the best seasons I have ever seen in any cartoon. The plot, growth, animation, anything you name was incredible. I'm sad Book 3 is over but I'm still not over the finale. It was intense.
Day 1's prompt is Alone. Watch out for spoilers for Book 3's finale.
The characters do not belong to me.
Alone
Although she knew that she had the support of her friends and family Korra had never felt so utterly alone.
She hated the state she was in; she felt vulnerable and defenseless. Why was she so weak? How could she protect the people and do her duty as the Avatar if she was in this state? Why did this have to happen to her if all she had meant was to save those around her?
By each second Korra felt lonelier than the previous. Every time she woke up at night drenched in sweat and shaking from a nightmare she was alone. There was no one next to her, no one to tell her it was okay, that everything would be alright, and that this was just a huge dream in which she would wake up from.
She tried believing in what everyone had said, how she needed to heal and rest but she found it hard to believe in that every night when she went to sleep. In fact, she no longer slept because every single time she closed her eyes she could only see Amon, Unalaq, Vaatu, and the Red Lotus and every single fear she had.
One night Korra screamed as she woke up from yet another nightmare her heart racing faster than ever, her breathing uneven. She was so busy with herself that she did not hear running footsteps going towards her room.
The door open and Korra saw Jinora.
"Korra?" Jinora asked worriedly. "What's wrong?"
Korra found that she had no voice to answer. She looked at Jinora with her new arrow tattoos and her shaved head. She looked a lot like Aang. That led her to think about her job as the Avatar and the failure she had become. She felt her throat clogged and her eyes water.
"Korra?" Jinora stepped forward. Jinora could hear more footsteps coming but Jinora got closer to Korra and wrapped her arms around her friend.
"Korra it's okay," Jinora whispered stroking her hair. "Everything will be okay, I promise."
Korra shook her head. Nothing will be okay. I'm alone in this.
Jinora, as if reading her thoughts, tightened the hold on Korra and whispered, "Korra you have to believe that everything will be okay. You don't have to act strong all the time; it's okay to be scared and feel sad. Please remember that we are all here for you and that you're not alone. Please don't lose hope."
Just as Jinora had said that the crew that came, Tenzin, Mako, Bolin, Asami, and even Ikki and Melo entered. They all gathered and hugged Korra wishing to transmit their feelings to her. They wanted to let her know that she was not alone, that they will always be there for her.
That's when Korra started to sob.
