Okay this story starts really sad. Bolin is 6, Korra 7, Mako 8. Please review. Thanks!
Korra was spending the day at Mako and Bolin's house. They had spent the whole day going on adventures, climbing trees, and playing tag. Now they all sat in the play room playing Truth or Dare.
"Mako! Truth or dare!" Bolin said excitedly to Mako.
"Truth." Mako replied, thinking this was going to be stupid.
Bolin grinned. He wanted to embarrass Mako. "Is it true you love Korra?"
Mako blushed furiously. "Uhh.. I choose dare instead." he said, avoiding the question.
"Okay." Bolin still had another trick up his sleeve. "I dare you to kiss Korra!" Bolin exclaimed.
Before Mako or Korra could protest there was a yell from Mako and Bolin's mother. "Korra! Your mother is here to pick you up!" she called to Korra, then Korra ran down to see her mother.
Bolin laughed at Mako, then the brothers ran down too. Then they came down Korra said goodbye to the brothers.
"I'll see you tomorrow morning in the tree house!" Korra said, then hugged Bolin. She looked at Mako, blushed, then hugged him too.
Both families had eaten dinner and the children were sent off to bed. Mako, who got the view of Korra's house across the street, watched as her bedroom light turned off and she went to sleep. Mako had a crush on Korra, which Korra returned. Bolin loved making jokes about the two of them getting married.
Mako and Bolin always knew Korra was special. They didn't know why, but something was special about her. She would act strange sometimes. Not funny strange, scary strange. Both Korra's and Mako and Bolin's parents knew she was the Avatar, but Korra herself was too young to train. When she acted strange, Bolin and Mako's parents would send her home.
But something was weird today. Like something was bothering Korra. And when Korra had nightmares, something bad always happened. And tonight was the worst. Korra's nightmare caused her to do something, something she had no idea she was doing. She was firebending in her sleep. Mako saw some kind of light coming from Korra's room, growing. Spreading in the whole entire house. Mako jumped out of bed, and ran to his parents room.
"Mom, Dad! I think Korra's house is on fire!" Mako exclaimed. He was scared. They jumped out of bed, saw the house, and called the police as soon as they could.
Mako got tired of waiting, watching as her house burned. Then he decided, he wasn't going to watch anymore. He ran out of his house, and across the street to Korra's. He ran into her house, and straight up to her room, were the flames had started. He knew he was a firebender, and tried to move the flames to get inside her room. He made it in her room, and she was unconscious. He picked her up, and started running for the door. Korra's eyes were opening, then she was full of fear.
"It's going to be alright Korra! I promise! Just hold on to me!" Mako yelled. He was still holding her, when he ran through the front door, out of the house. The police were already there, along with fire fighters and healers. When they got out of the house, Mako collapsed in the grass, Korra falling beside him. People had come and were picking them up. Mako reached for Korra's hand, but neither of them could reach each other. He slowly closed his eyes, drifting into a deep sleep.
Mako woke up two days later, covered in bandages. He was in a hospital. When he opened his eyes the first thing he saw was his brother.
"Mako!" Bolin cried. "Mako you're awake!" Bolin hugged his brother tightly.
"Oww. That hurts." Mako said.
"Mako sweetie." He heard his mother's voice. "I'm so glad your okay. I was so worried." She said, hugging him lightly.
"You aren't mad that I ran into a fire?" He was confused.
"That doesn't matter right now. All that matters is that you're safe." She said sweetly, then placed a kiss on his forehead.
"Where's Korra? Is she okay?" Mako then asked, worried about his best friend.
"Mako dear," he mother started, looking away from him. "Korra was badly hurt. She's going to be okay, but it's going to take awhile. But Korra's parents-" she stopped, then started to cry.
"Mommy what happened to her parents?" Mako asked.
She swallowed her tears as best as possible. Senna was her best friend. "Korra's parents didn't make it out in time. They're- They're gone."
Mako cried. Bolin tried his best to comfort him. The brother's parents had left the room, their father hugging their mother. They came back later with the doctor.
"Good news." The doctor had said. "Mako is going to be perfectly fine. You had a couple of burns which were healed and are gone. As for your friend," he stopped and sighed. "She will be fine. How she survived was a mystery. She was laying were the fire started." Mako's parents looked at each other, worried, and knowing why she survived. "She had quite a few burns which are gone. I think you should know, that Cheif BeiFong will be by later to take Korra to the orphanage. She's coming to question you too."
The doctor started to leave then Mako stopped him. "Wait! Can I go see her? Is she awake?" Mako asked, wanting to see her badly.
"You can go see her, but be very careful. We haven't been able to get her to talk. Her voice is not mute, but from shock she may not speak for a long time."
Mako nodded, then proceeded to the room next door to see Korra. He was afraid she won't talk. The doctor had said she hasn't talked in days. He then walked in.
"Korra." He said, walking in, with his parents, brother, and the doctor following him in.
Then, surprising everyone, there was a voice. "Mako." It was Korra.
