Author's Note: Yeah I was really bored... And came up with this. I guess I'll make a story out of it since I put the time in to write this part. If I end up going with the idea that I have right now for this drabble then it will end up being pretty dark... So if you don't like that, I would go read my other story "Last Call." It's fun and light-hearted while this one is probably going to be far from that. haha Well, enjoy.(: I know its not long, but let me know how you like it so far. I've already begun the next chapter but I'm not going to even bother finishing it if a few people don't tell me how they feel about it so far or if you have an idea for this, let me know and I'll try to go with it! Anyway, enough bulls... time for the story!
Revising all chapters, or the ones that need it at least.
Chapter One:
Shadows
I sat down slowly, my eyes glancing around the dark room. Dawn was approaching; everyone else was sound asleep in the comfort of their warm beds, dreaming of what tomorrow would bring for their hopeless lives. My eyes grew bored of the weary black blobs slowly making shape as my eyes adjusted to the dim light. I turned my attention to the large window behind the couch. Across the rippling tides of water below, was that familiar island where she slept. Korra, I thought. Her determined blue eyes were so full of cocky ignorance. She thought she held so much power simply because of the title that was handed to her; she's wrong. Korra knows nothing of hard work or true strength. She hadn't lost what I have. Everything has been simply handed to her through her entire life. My mind drifted to her bending abilities; she was powerful but she lacked control. Legend says the Avatar is reincarnated after the previous one passes on to maintain peace and balance in the universe.
I chuckle, watching a distant shadow sway in the light from the temple. There would be no way she would be the one to do this. I hadn't realized my nails were digging into my palms until a snore erupted from a few feet away and drew me back to that dark room. The room felt comfortable but my presence always brought a slight gloom with it. I let out a silent sigh, my eyes still watching the shadow drift in and out of view from the radiating light dancing against the window across the island. The shadow disappeared for the last time in a hurry before another shadow came into view. The new shadow remained long enough for a lecture to proceed before the light went out. I smiled in the dark before turning back around to face the room.
I stared over in one corner where the boy was practically falling off his makeshift bed; his sheet was askew, one leg and both arms were hanging over the sides of the bed. As my eyes continued to adjust to the ominous veil of darkness casting across the apartment, I noted the puddle of drool under his lower lip; a drip of saliva still streaming from the side of his mouth against the pillow. I stood up then without a sound. I slowly sauntered over to Bolin, careful to avoid any creaks in the floorboards. I stood over him, hovering before resting my palm on his forehead. He winced at the touch but did not awaken. I shushed him in a soothing manor. Last time I had seen him, he was so close to losing his earth bending forever but escaped unscathed. The Avatar had saved him.
I glanced back at the window to see the dark temple across the water. All seemed to be still with no light in sight. I then glanced at the other side of the room where the empty, unmade bed lay cold and lonely in the dead of night. I turned back to the snoring bundle of mess beneath my touch. The muscles in my hand tightened against Bolin's forehead, "This time," my voice was low and monotonous not to wake the brother. A sinister smirk traced my damaged face from behind my mask, "You will not be so lucky."
Me Again: Short chapter, but this is the only one that will be. I like extensive chapters. I figure if you have to wait for the update, it should be something worth waiting for, right? Anyway, please let me know what you think.
