Chapter One; Hello

"The avatar that's her!" The lieutenant shouted towards his advancing men.

"Let her go, she's the perfect messenger to tell the city of my power." Amon quickly interrupted staring down at the avatars' retreating figure. "No benders are safe." The lieutenant and his men sneered at this and joined in watching Korra flea.

"Ugh!" Korra slammed her door shut and stomped over to her bed. Her nerves were slowly eating away at her. She stood up again and began pacing around the room loudly. Suddenly every little thing was getting on her nerves. "There isn't enough space in here to even pace!" She flopped violently back on her bed pouting.

"Korra dear? Are you ok in there?" Pema asked from the hallway with a half sleepy half nervous voice. She waited for a response but all she got was an agitated grunt. "Alright, well if you need to talk I'm here Korra…Goodnight." Korra listened to her light footsteps walking up the hall. She looked down at her folded arms and broken door frame and was suddenly ashamed of herself. She was acting like a child in the middle of a fit. She slowly sat up and rubbed her temples with her fingers trying to calm down.

"How am I supposed to beat that?" She quietly asked herself. Images of Amon taking away the bending of all those people were hanging over her head. Rage slowly threatened to overtake her again wishing she was more connected with her spiritual side so she could actually ask her questions to someone who might have an answer. She slid off her bed stalking over to the only window in the room and stuck her head out letting the cool air smash onto her face. After a few moments of enjoying the breeze she whistled for Naga.

"Come here girl." Darting her eyes around in the darkness. A giant wet tongue suddenly swiped across her face to the left and Korra let out a small cry of surprise. Korra grabbed her polar bear dog's face in her hands and looked into her eyes.

"Well we all know the avatar actually doesn't know anything. It's really their pet who is the mastermind. So what's it going to be Naga? How do I defeat Amon?" Naga corked an eyebrow at her and simply responded with another lick to her face.

"Well I can't lick him to death Naga." Korra laughed to herself. "Get some sleep girl, I know I won't be." Korra let go of the creatures face and slumped back onto her bed folding her arms over her chest once more. This was going to be a long miserable night.

"Korra?...Korrrraaaaa. Wake up Korra!" Tenzin shook her awake mentally preparing for an on-slot on excuses for her to stay in bed. He was surprised when she opened her eyes and swiftly moved out of bed with no early morning complaints.

"What are we practicing today?" She asked ending the question with a yawn.

"Uh are you feeling ok Korra?" Tenzin asked bewildered by her readiness. "No complaints, or pleas for an extra ten minutes?" Korra bit her lip and turned away towards the window pretending to look out nonchalantly.

"I'm fine Tenzin. No worries I just really want to crack down on my air bending." She spat out trying not to let her fear be heard in her voice. Tenzin lifted an eyebrow. "What's with everyone giving me that look? First Naga now you!" Korra pointed a finger towards Naga's face in the window cell and back towards Tenzin.

"Korra it's ok to be scared. We all are, Amon will not be an easy obstacle in your life. You have friends to help you, so do not become frustrated with yourself if you still have trouble airbending." Tenzin said coolly. "We are still taking your training slow, as planned. Now, you have bags under your eyes. Why don't you get some actual sleep." Tenzin walked towards her and patted her shoulder. "Stay calm and focused Korra." She watched as he closed the door behind him.

"The one time I don't want to sleep in and he lets me!" She crawled back into her bed pulling the covers over her head to hide from the morning sunbeams peeking their way into her room. Her tired eyes soon gave in and she fell back asleep.

"Do we have anyone watching the avatar Lieutenant?" Amon spoke from behind a fresh news paper with the story of the gang members bending owes on the front page.

"Yes, naturally sir."

"Good. I want daily updates. If she was smart enough to get into our rally she needs to be watched…Closely." Amon folded the paper and went to hand it over to the lieutenant when he saw a picture that caught his eye. "This is the avatars' face?" Amon said unfolding the paper and staring down at the black and white photo of the young water tribe girl.

"Yes, that's the girl sir." The lieutenant said warily. "Is everything ok sir?"

"Fine." Amon spat out and refolded the paper and shoved it into the lieutenants waiting hands. "Go." He said daring one more glance at the paper.

"What's gotten into you Korra? Can you focus a little better please?" Mako spat out when Korra was once again knocked to her feet.

"I'm trying ok? You'd find it a little hard to focus too if you had some crazy bending taking a-way-er guy coming after you!" Korra yelled out in frustration. She jogged off into the hall away from the training room desperately needing fresh air. She leaned against one of the wall length windows and starred out across the ocean her mind racing.

"Korra? I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know things are really tough right now with all the avatar stuff and pro-bending. I'm not exactly making it easy either and all…" Mako was stumbling over his words the longer he talked.

"Its ok Mako. I've been on the edge, I'm sorry too. We will win this thing. No worries." Korra said smiling at him awkwardly and slung her arm around him as they walked back into the gym.

"Are you two drama queens ready to get some training done now?" Bolin asked with his fist on his hips as they re-entered the room.

"Yeah, yeah. You bet." Korra teased splashing some water at him. Bolin's face turned dark red and he ran at them prepared to tackle them to the ground but was greeted with a rock wall first. "I can earth bend out of the arena Bolin." Korra said sticking her tongue out at him.

"Ahem." Mako's cough reminded them both it was actually time to start practice. Both of them looked up apologetically and began their practice. Roughly three hours later they called it a day and began walking down the stars to see Korra back to Air Temple Island.

"That was a good practice guys. I really think we can win this year!" Mako said proudly opening a door out of the gym. Korra's face contorted with fear as she looked out into the hallway and was face to face with a equalist.

"Get him!" Korra yelled and they all went running after him running down the hall where they ran into two more. "Where-how did they get in here unnoticed?" Korra yelled out backing away now evenly matched in numbers.

"I don't know. Quick they're running, Korra follow him! Bo him! I've got that one!" Mako shouted running after the last visible equalist. Korra turned and ran down the hall her designated opponent went. She caught up with the fleeing figure and was quickly gaining on him running around corners and speeding down stairs. Then she heard Mako's pained scream and she halted.

"Mako!" She yelled about to turn around and find her friend to aid him. But instead she herself let out the same scream when her body was convulsing with electricity. She crashed to the ground helpless and frightened. She looked up and saw the man from the night she and Mako had saved Bolin.

"Don't fear avatar we only come to deliver a message from Amon." The mustache guy sneered down at her. "He welcomes you to republic city, and kindly asks you stay out of his way. No one likes party crashers." The man then jabbed her once more with his electrified weapons knocking her unconscious. "Oh and this letter for you and your friends to read." Releasing the letter to float down to her he then vanished as Bolin's footsteps got closer.

"Korra!".
