KORRA~
~FLASH BACK~
"Come on Gears it's this way… Hurry."
"Korra how much farther. Mama Senna said not to leave the village." The young girl with the raven hair and pale green eyes said. Concern filled her voice as she was dragged along by her friend.
"I'm not gonna leave the village… 'Sides there's nothing to do in town. And anyway you don't always have to do what mommy said ya' know."
"Yes we do. My mommy said that parents are there to make sure their kids don't get hurt. They tell us not to do certain things for a reason you know. And I'm pretty sure where ever we're going counts as leaving the village…. There is like no one around. I think we've gone far enough ok? Hey let's go back." She says as she tugs on her friend's arm with both of her mitten covered hands.
"Look Gears we're already here…. It's just at the top of this hill. I just know you're gonna love it." The two children trudge through the snow just a little faster than before. As they reach the top of the hill the girl with those captivating green eyes stairs out at the scene before her. Her eyes filled with wonder and excitement.
"Korra this is Amazing… it's… it's…." she's at a loss of words. So the other girl the one with crystal like sapphire eyes finishes the thought for her. Only she isn't looking at the landscape but instead at her best friend.
"Beautiful…." The green eyed girl turns and meets a clear blue. The two blush once she realizes that her friend was talking about her and not their surroundings. "S-so... what do you think." The blue eyed child says. "Is it everything you thought it would be?" within seconds she is tackled to the ground.
"That and so much more my little Polarbear pup." Her friend whispers in her ear and she blushes.
Upon their separation she holds the pale-skin little girl at arm's length. "That's good. But there's more. She gets up and takes off after one of the penguins before her. The pale-skinned girl giggles.
"Korra what in Raava's name are you doing." She stands there watching as the tanned-skin girl furrows her eyebrows in concentration and a small bit of her tongue peeks out of the corner of her mouth. After what seems like an eternity the girl retunes with a crooked grin waddling as she carries the flightless bird back over to her friend.
"The little rascal thought he could pull a fast one on me but… I got him." She says puffing out her tiny chest ever so slightly.
"Ok you caught him so now what." The green eyed girl asks curiosity dancing in her eyes.
"Now we go penguin sledding." The younger girl responds.
"What… But…"
"But what Gears?"
"Isn't that kind of dangerous?" she asks.
"Pfft No way I do it all the time with daddy but we're not s'ppose to tell mommy that."
"Yeah but that's when you had papa Tonraq with you…. Korra I don't think this is such a good idea."
"You worry too much Gears…. Here stand back and watch I'll go first ok." The green eyed, paled skin girl's excitement soon turned to horror as she stood there watching her best friend, get thrown from the back of the flightless bird and lands face down, unmoving in the snow.
"Oh no…KORRA!" She yells as she races towards her fallen friend. She kneels down next to her, turns her over and places her friends head in her lap. "Korra… Korra are…. Are you ok?" her friend groaned before opening her eyes.
"Gears? Hey… why you cryin'?"
"'Cuz… you're hurt. Why would you do something so dangerous." She says trying to wipe the tears that refuse to stop.
"come on it's not as bad as it looks." Korra says as she begins to sit up. As she reaches up to wipe the tears from her friends face, that's when they both saw it. Well more like the green-eyed girl say it and yelled and Korra felt it and reacted to her friends panicked state of mind. "Oh."
"Oh…. Korra… I… you…" She was unable to complete her sentence due to her increasing sobs.
"I-It's gonna be ok Gears." Korra said, her own panic evident in her voice. She tried to stay calm though tears pooled in her eyes. "Go get mom… No on second thought go get Gran Gran Katara and Gran Gran Azula."
"No Korra I'm not gonna leave you! I won't." she said determination apparent even with her tears still falling.
"I'll be fine by myself..." She looked down at the bone protruding from her arm. "At least for a little while but you gotta go."
"I said no Polarbear… we're going together and that's final." She rubbed her eyes before carefully helping Korra to her feet. The two of them made their way back towards home and help albeit at a much slower pace.
~SOMETIME LATER~
"Gears… Gears wait a-a minute… I gotta… I'm starting to feel woozy." Korra said.
"It's just a little further Kor. Please just hold on a little longer." She said, concern filling her voice.
"Gears Please…" Korra couldn't say anything more and her friend put her down.
"Ok… Ok… I'm gonna leave you here, but just for a little while. I'm gonna go get someone then I'm coming right back."
"I'm not going anywhere Gears." She tried to lessen the severity of the situation with a joke and failed to get a desired response from her green-eyed friend.
The girl took off as fast as her small legs and tiny body could take her. It took her about three minutes before she burst into a house on the outside of town. "Gran Gran!" she yelled slightly out of breath. Two older women in their 80's with silver hair and two more younger women turned and faced the girl.
"Sweetheart? What's going on? You know you shouldn't barge into someone else's home like that." A woman with hair, eyes and skin tone much like the little girl said.
"Sorry Mommy…" The girl lowered her head.
"Now my love, what is so important that it warrants this sort of outburst." The girl's eyes widened as if she just realized that her best friend and secret crush was still out there.
"Mommy it's… it's Korra!" This was enough to put everyone on edge.
"What's this about Korra, dear?" The elderly women, Katara, asked. The girl broke down crying and the girls' mother wrapped her in her arms. Her first attempt at an explanation was far too incoherent to be understood. She took a breath and tried again.
"Korra is… Korra is…*hic* Korra's hurt… really bad. She's still out there! I gotta go back! I promised." She pulled out of her mother's embrace and didn't bother stopping to make sure the others where following her. Korra was out there and she had to get back to her.
~SOME MORE TIME LATER~
"Do you really have to go Gears?" Korra asked her friend.
"Yeah… Mommy says that Papa needs us back in Republic City. I don't want to leave though."
"I-I'm really gonna miss you Gears. I… uh… I still got a lot I want to tell you…."
"I know. I have so much I want to tell you too Korra… so much I want to do with you."
"Listen Gear I uh…." Korra rubbed the back of her neck a blush covered her cheeks.
"Not now My little Polarbear pup. Tell me the next time we see each other…." Korra lowered her eyes and the green-eyed girl cupped her fiends face so that she would look at her. "Hey… Hey we are going to see each other again… Just don't forget me ok Kor… Promise."
Korra wrapped her arms around her friend and shut her eyes tightly. "I promise Gears… I promise… I won't forget…. A promise is a Promise, I'll come back to you, wait for me Asa…."
~PRESENT DAY~
I jumped out of my sleep and sat up straight… it was just a dream… no not just a dream, The Dream. I flopped back down and raised my hand in front of my face. Not again… why now? I haven't had that dream in years…. I sighed. I still don't have an answer… "Those eyes… whose are they?"
I spent a few more minutes just lying there before going through my daily routine of preparation. My nerves must be getting to me. That dream is starting to occur more and more frequently. The only semi-good thing is that each time more and more of the dream becomes clear. But no matter what I other than 'Gears' I can't remember that girls name.
My eyes move over to my phone and I check the time. Shit 2:00pm. I only planned to rest my eyes for a minute. I looked around at my living room and stretched with a sigh. I grabbed one of my medical books from the table and headed for the door. There is no point in brooding over this any more than I have to. I grabbed Naga's leash from the hook by the door where I left it there the day before. Naga, as if on que, popped her head up and began to run to and from the door and back barking, as if to tell me to hurry up.
Two more days… two more days before I start my new job as an intern. As far as Gran Gran Katara and Aunt Kya says, I'm more than ready. "Medicine is in my blood." Yeah so is Clumsiness and stubbornness. Gran Gran Azula agreed but that didn't stop her form saying "If it doesn't work out in Republic City you can always say 'fuck it' and come stay with me in the fire Nation. After everything that went down back home I though taking my last year of Med-school in Republic City might help get my mind off of everything. I guess it kind of did. It was there that I met Bolin and his brother Mako.
A bark pulled me out of my thoughts. "Okay Naga how about that walk. We both could uses some fresh air and maybe a distraction." She barked in agreement before turning once again towards the door. I hooked her leash to her collar and grabbed my phone. Just as I was ready to leave my phone began to ring. I checked the caller ID before answering.
"Hey mom."
"Korra sweetie did you just get up?" she asked.
"No mom I was up. I'm actually on my way out to walk Naga." I say.
"That's good. It's not healthy to laze around all day pouting."
"I was not pouting." I might not have been before but I certainly am now.
"Sweetie I can hear you pouting right now. Listen sweetie don't you think it's about time you shake it off and get back out there. who knows who you will meet."
"Yeah I know mom. I just… I don't think I'm ready just yet. Besides I start my job the day after tomorrow. I just don't have the time right now." I know she hates seeing me like this but to be honest I don't think I'll ever be ready to start dating again after what happened. Not for a lack of trying. The last person I dated, Mako, didn't really end well. Not that I expected it to, I was trying to forget the one before that which didn't help the relationship at all. At least by the time I graduated I got my friend back.
"I just worry about you sometime sweetie."
"I know mom…. Maybe after things settle down a bit with this new job who knows." I know. I know that it's never going to happen. I've been saying that for the past year. Ever since I moved to Republic City.
"Okay sweetie just… promise me you'll try. And don't push yourself too hard okay?"
"I promise mom and I won't."
"I love you. I've Already talked to Yasu and she knows you're interning at her hospital but just in case don't forget to stop by her office. She's looking forward to seeing you again. Don't forget to call if you need anything."
"I love you too. Don't worry I know; I'll try to get there early to stop by. Tell dad I said hi to dad for me bye." With that I ended the call and headed out the door. I waited until Naga and I were in the park a couple of blocks over before I cracked open my book to study.
There was no need to look where I was going. Usually we follow out set path and we've taken it enough times for Naga to know exactly the route to take without guidance… Or so I thought, it turns out today was not going to be like any other day. Before I could even comprehend what was going on, I found myself colliding with every lamp post along the walk way in the park trying to keep a hold on Naga's leash.
"Whoa… Well aren't you a cute one." The voice was light and filled with kindness and amusement. I looked up as I rubbed my face only to find Naga practically attacking some woman.
"Oh geez… I am so sorry!" I say trying to get a hold of and calm down the excited giant ball of fluff and love. "Naga Down… you know you can't just take off like that without warning." I was met with an excited and playful woof. I gave Naga a stern look. "I don't care how gorgeous the woman is." She lowered her head and wined. I tugged her away from the woman as I patted Naga's head. "Sorry she's not usually like this."
After getting Naga under control I finally looked up and locked eyes with a set of green ones. The woman had an amused smirk pulling at the corner of her scarlet painted lips and a perfectly arched brow. "It's fine but I have to ask. Are you usually this smooth with all 'gorgeous women' or is it just me?" My eyebrows furrowed as I replayed everything I just said moments before. Her smirk turned into a full blown smile when she notices the realization hit me.
"Whoa… I don't… I mean you are gorgeous… I just meant…."
'Stop while you're behind.'
I ducked my head and my hand flew to the back of my neck as I tried to fight off my blush. She laughed and I swear I heard angels singing… or maybe I hit that last pole harder than I realize. I chanced a glance up and watched in awe as the woman's laugh died down and she flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Charming and cute. Interesting." She extended her hand and it took me a second to collect myself and take her hand. "I'm Asami by the way." She watched me with a sort of sparkle in those beautiful green eyes.
I found myself so lost in those very same Emerald eyes that I had, for a moment, forgot that this is the part where I'm suppose to respond. I was so awe struck that I didn't even notice that Naga was up to her usual antics. In the time I was busy embarrassing myself in front of Asami 'beautiful name for a beautiful woman' Naga had circled us trying to get some sort of attention. After getting feed up with being ignored, like the spoiled girl that she is, she gave a tug at her leash pilling Asami flush against me. If I wasn't busy turning fifty shades of red and stuttering like an idiot I probably would have had time to position myself better. Instead my hands have somehow placed themselves on Asami's waist.
"I Am So Sorry." I said trying to figure out a way to unravel us. As I moved I was hit with the scent of Lavender and Vanilla with a hit of motor oil I think. My sputter and attempt at an apology was interrupted by Naga's howls of amusement. Both Asami and I looked over at her just as I had finally found a way to untangle the two of us. My eyes locked with my mischievous companion and I knew that look. The look she does when she knows she's going to do something that will ultimately end with my embarrassment. She closed her mouth and tilted her head slightly to the right. My eyes went wide. Oh for the Love of Raava.
"Naga No…" I state as a warning. Naga in response gives a muffled 'woof' and slowly backs away. My attempts to free myself and the woman that has unfortunately been roped into my companions' antics, comes to a halt and my eyes narrow at Naga. "You. Wouldn't. Dare!" Naga opens her mouth, tongue hanging out the side as if to smirk and accept the challenge. We move in unison. Me unraveling the last of the leash that has Asami pressed up against me and Naga who takes off running to a spot behind Asami. The leash I finally free myself from gives a sharp pull and I just barely catch Asami in a sort of dip before she can hit the floor. I close my eyes and breathe a sigh of relief.
When I opened my eyes again I was met with the intense gaze of Emerald. "Wow your eyes are so…"
"Beautiful"
"Familiar." She says and once again I find myself blushing.
I manage to get Asami right side up but not before I swear her eyes flicker down to my lips. She dusts herself off and once again does that hair flip that has KO'd me at least ten times in under a second. She studies me with this unreadable expression that makes me squirm under her gaze.
"I'm uh… Sorry about that… Naga is… well Naga. She's usually more well behaved, but a bit spoiled as you can see. I hope you're not hurt. I should make it up to you… let me make it up to you… or maybe I'm just bothering you and should go. Should I go? I should go. Yeah uh I'll just…." I lower my head ready to take off but before I can I feel a warm hand placed gently on my forearm. My eyes slowly creep up before I'm met with that look again.
"How about we start with your name." Name? Right we should start there. With names. Names. What's my name again? HOLY MOTHER OF RAAVA I FORGOT MY NAME! Get a hold of yourself Korra…. Ha! that's it.
My name is uh…" Before I can finish stammering out my poor excuse of a response I hear someone call my name.
"KORRA!" A muscular man with light green eye comes barreling towards me she scoops me into his arms in a tight hug that lifts me off the ground. "It's been ages I've missed you.
"Bo… need air… can't breathe…dying." He lets me go with a bashful smile. "And we saw each other yesterday."
"I know but it feels like forever!" she exclaims before going on about something or another. Honestly I stopped paying attention and instead found myself in a stare off with Asami. Before I know it I'm being pulled away by Bo though my eyes don't leave hers.
"Y-Your name is Korra?" She asks and I plant my feet leaving Bo to go ahead with Naga. I nod and she gives me a look that I can't quite place. Surprised? Recognition? No I've never met this woman before. I think I'd have remembered if I did. Funny it almost looks like Love but like hell right. Let's face it Perfect women like her never go for people like me. Her lips part and she looks like she's caught between wanting to cry and laughing out of pure happiness. I think she's going to say something but just when I think she's seconds away from saying whatever that may be, Bolin calls my name again and I'm the first to break eye contact to look over my shoulder at him. I look back at Asami, who still has that look, before I say "It was really nice meeting you Asami, I'm sorry about this whole thing…. I uh got to go now bye." I turn on my heals and run to catch up to Bolin. I chance a look over my shoulder and I think I hear her call me by a familiar name just before we're out of ear reach. 'My Polarbear Pup'. The pair of Green eyes from my dream flashes in my mind and my heart flutters for a moment and I mumble to myself.
"Those Eyes whose are they?"
