This is an amazing fanfic on Avatar: The legend of Korra. In the first chapter there will not be much said about the actual show, but please be patient and you will get to hear more!

Thank you! Enjoy!

"Harte! Get here right now!" my dad screams. He always does this to me; he beat the living daylight out of me because he was out of beer one time.

"Coming!" I shout back to him. Sighing, I finished reading the sentence I was on, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I closed the book and threw it onto my old wooden desk. I run down the hallway to my dad's room but he's not there. I turn around and peek into the lounge room to see him watching the horse races. I walk up to him and smell beer and other alcohol as soon as i walk in.

"Yeah?" I mutter to him.

"What do you want?" He asks. I face-palmed.

"You just called me." I wish I didn't say that, his face turned red and he stared at me.

"Get me a beer would you!" He mumbles. I turn around and start pulling faces and muttering words.

"What was that?" he asks.

"Nothing" I say swiftly. I grab a cold beer out the fridge and read the title. 'Old Farts' it said. I start to laugh, thinking that is exactly how I should describe him.

"What you laughing at Harte? You're laughing at me!?" He shouts. He stands up and walks toward me.

"No! No dad. That's not what I-." But before I could say anything else he smashes an empty beer bottle on the counter and holds a jagged piece in his right hand and has his left in a fist. He runs at me with the bottle and stabs me in the arm.

"Dad… S…stop, PLEASE!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

I hear knocking on the front door. My dad stands up and walks toward it.

"Keep your mouth shut!" He shouts. At that final word I run into my bedroom and lock the door. I start to shiver from the fear that just swept over me.

"At least I've got school tomorrow. I'll be out of this hell hole." I mutter to myself. Suddenly I hear banging on the door.

"Harte! Let me in! NOW!" Dad screams. "Don't make me climb through the window!" He shouts. The window, what a brilliant idea. Thanks dad, you're the best, NOT. I run toward the window and shove it open. I immediately jump out and run to the local forest.

I arrive at the forest and sit down near the lake. I wash the blood off my arm and look down to see a deep cut. A piece of glass still pried deep into it. I attempt to pull it out but it hurts too much. I close my eyes tightly and rip it out of my arm.

"Ahh… arghh!" I scream at the top of my lungs at the horrific pain I just felt.

I open my eyes and blood covers my arm. I again wash it off with water but the pain just gets worse. I finish cleaning it and I look at the cut. I see my bone and I feel a horrible chill down my spine. I lie down on the cold dirt and start to cry.

"Why do I get a dad like him? Why me?!" I shout. I grab a rock and throw it into the lake, instead of splashing it falls on the water and sinks incredibly slowly.

There it is! Hope you all enjoyed it! Please, please leave a review. I will then decide whether I will update or not. If I get 4 reviews I will create another chapter.
