'Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep' This sound will make me go mad. Nobody knows I'm here but what will they think if they know why I'm here? Would they be proud? Disappointed?

"Avatar Korra?" The doctor asked when she walks out of the hospital room.

"Yes that's me. How is she? Will she make it? Please tell me she will." My voice cracks but I hold back the tears.

"She is very weak and we can't fix the internal damage. She only has minutes left and she asked for you." She told me with depression shinning in her brown eyes. I run to her room to see Lena my sweet, sweet Lena lying in the hospital bed. I kneel next to her bed and take her hand in mine. she turns her head to look at me. I gasp it's durned badly and her once beautiful blue eyes so drained of color and life.

"Hi Korra. Why so sad cheer up we beat the triads there off the street and in jail." She said in a tired pain full voice. A teen falls down my cheek.

"But at what cost your hurt badly. It's all my fault I'm so, so sorry Lena." More tears fall and I fell my heart and soul shatter.

"NO! It's mine I should have listened I'm sorry. Please don't cry." She lifts her hand and wipes a tear away.

"You're to young to die. To young. You're not even sixteen. It should be me in that bed not you I failed you and you mom. I'm so sorry." More tears fall and the beeping sound slows down.

"I will be with mama soon. Korra can you please sing yours and mama's lullaby to me?"

"Of course I will." I take a deep breath and hold one of her hand with both of mine

"I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone" Her hand goes limp and her eyes close. Tears fall down like a water fall and I choke on air but keep singing I will fulfill her last wish.

"Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound..." The beeping stops completely and turns to a straight line. At that moment I break. I silently sod and tighten my grip on her hand.

I cry for hours and only stop a little when the doctor comes in and says that I have to leave. I ask for five more minutes and she said ok. I kiss her head and pull the white sheet to cover her head. I walk to the door and stare at the bed.

"Goodbye my lovely Lena. I will always love you." I turn off the light and walk home while silently crying.
