Korra
The last few days had gone so well. I had defeated Amon restored my bending and Mako and told me he loved me.
But as he stood there gazing at me I realized that I did not feel the same. What I had felt for him was nothing more than getting caught up in the moment.
When I told him this he got angry, blaming me for ruining his relationship with Asami and for leading him on.
I ran from him after hearing this, I ran straight into the frozen tundra.
When I finally calm down enough to look around I realize that I was lost.
"Nice, now I'm lost in the middle of nowhere. I knew Mako would be angry but not like that." I say staring up at the darkening clouds
"And there's a blizzard coming, wonderful" I look around desperately trying to find someplace I can take shelter in.
I spot a cave out in the distance, having no place else to go I use my water bending to speed my way there.
The cave is nothing, little more than a hole edged out in the rock, might have been home to some large winter creature long ago but not recently. The back of the cave is covered in darkness I look around for something to start a fire
I gather up some frozen sticks and use my fire bending to light a small fire. I just stare at it for a while before I start rambling to myself
"I just had to be so hotheaded, couldn't just try to talk things out with Mako, noooooo I just had to storm out into a blizzard. Now I'm all alone until morning"
I gaze out at the downpour of snow and freezing wind that was a blizzard
I hear a rustling sound from behind me but sadly I wasn't fast enough to respond. A dark tendril shoots out from the darkness of the back of the cave wrapping around my waist and pulling me in.
"Oh I wouldn't say you're alone" out of the darkness comes something out of a nightmare, a giant centipede like creature with a human face attached to it. I watch as the face changes to that of a young man to an old woman before finally stopping on the face of a baboon
"It's been a long time Avatar" it says raising me up so that we were face to face
"What are you?" I manage to squeeze out. Whatever this thing was it was more terrifying than Amon ever was.
Its pincers wriggle at bit as agitated,
"You don't remember me? Well I can't say I'm all that surprised it a has been a very long time since you've seen me not since you needed my help to save the moon and ocean spirits."
At hearing the name of those spirits my eyes light up white and the memories of the past Avatars come flowing to me.
"You're Ko the face stealer! Aang came to you for help to protect the spirits form the fire nation" I all but scream.
KO turns around a smile on his baboon face.
"So you do remember me, good that makes this more fun" he states extending one of his pincers toward my face.
I have a terrible feeling about what he's after but I feel the need to ask anyway,
"What do you want from me?" I manage to ask body trembling with fear.
KO leans his face so that it was mere inches from mine before his stats
"As much as I want to add another face to my collection…" he states running a pincer along my face "I have something much more cruel planned for you"
I muster my courage and act on impulse spewing a torrent of flame from my mouth onto him. He releases me and tries to put out the fire. Before I have time to hit him with another blast he slithers forward at a speed I thought impossible and wraps his entire body around me trapping my arms and legs beneath me.
"Now where were we, ah yes right about here" he extends a pincer until its resting inches from my eyes. After a moment a small black orb shines from the tip, the world starts to grow darker and darker until there's nothing.
He unwraps himself from me and I fall to the floor.
The last thing I hear before I pass out are his words
" Remember my face Avater for it is the last thing you'll ever see."
Hours must have passed because the next thing I now I hear voices all around me
"Is she alright?" comes the voice of Tenzin
"how long has she been gone" I hear my mother say
"wait I think she's waking up" states Asami
I open my eyes but see nothing but darkness, confused I ask
"Can somebody turn on a light I can't see a thing?" I hear a intake of breath comeing form the direction of my mother
"Korra it's the midlle of the day" Kattara says
And then it hits me
KO might not have stolen my face, but he stole something just as precious
My sight.
