So for those readers who have read this story before, I apologize from the bottom of my heart for not updating the last chapter forever ago, because I did finish it. I got preoccupied with school and work so I pushed this story aside. Then I focused on drawing and then on other fanfictions. I have a few others that I need to finish as well. I made this promise that I will leave no fanfiction unfinished!
I had to go back and fix the story by the way. There were a bunch of mistakes that were annoying me. *slaps 15 year old self from past*
It was about twelve in the morning. I kicked the wall in my room. Hard. I was just so mad at Mako at the moment. "Ugh!" I cried, "I hate him!" Naga licked my arm and whimpered, "I'm sorry, girl," I said as I rubbed the side of her face.
-A few hours earlier-
I escaped from Air Temple Island to go have some fun with Mako and Bolin. Tenzin would kill me if he found out I wasn't sleeping. I left without Naga since with her, I may cause noise that would make someone wake up.
I followed the address Bolin gave me and ended up in front of the fanciest restaurant in town. I had a bad feeling about this. "Korra! You made it!" Came a very excited, feminine voice. I turned to Asami with a forced smile on my face. "Hey, Asami!" I noticed the boys on both sides of her, already dressed up. I looked at my own, casual attire. If I'd known we were going to dine at this place, I would have worn something fancier.
"Oh, don't worry about the clothes," started Asami as she took my arm, "There's a beautiful blue dress waiting for you inside." She led me into the building with the boys on our tails.
I was led into a white room and Bolin and his brother were shooed out by Asami. "Look!" She said as she pointed at a gorgeous blue dress lying on a chair. I picked it up and felt the fabric; it was as soft as silk. When I put it on, it stopped just above my knees, and I was so grateful for shaving before I came here.
The spaghetti strapped dress hugged me tightly, and I felt like a million bucks when I put it on. Asami zipped it up while saying, "It looks amazing on you, Korra, I'm jealous."
I honestly thought the dress I was wearing now looked a bit better that her plain black one.
I looked at myself through the full-body mirror. I frowned when I looked at my hair, so I went ahead and let it down. It has been a while since anyone has seen me with my hair like this. "Korra…" Breathed Asami, "You look beautiful! Wait- I have something else." She brought out make-up, I sneered at it.
"Oh come on! Just a little? I shall make you even more beautiful!"
I sighed in defeat and said, "Fine, but only a little, got it?" Asami nodded like an excited little girl, she put really light blue eye shadow and eyeliner on my top lid only. She added the mascara and then put lip gloss on. "Yes!" She said, "But wait, there's more!" I raised an eyebrow as she disappeared then reappeared with a diamond necklace.
I didn't want to feel greedy so I said, "No Asam-"
"Korra, you will wear this like it or not. If you want, you can return it when we're done here."
I gulped and nodded my head and the stunningly beautiful woman put the necklace on me. "All finished!"
I gaped as I looked at myself through the mirror again. I never thought it was possible for someone like me to look this nice.
"I know what you're thinking," started Asami, "I am so awesome that you're wanting me to do your makeup every day."
I let out a big, "Ha!" The two of us just laughed.
I stayed admiring myself a little longer when Asami called me from the door. "Come on Korra! We're all waiting for you!" I breathed in deeply, then walked out.
It felt as though the whole world stopped and looked at me. "Wow…" said the two brothers in unison, I blushed at how many people looked over at me.
The waiter led us to a round, white clothed table at the far end of the room. We sat down and he gave us the menu. For our drinks, we all ordered water, and the waiter nodded then left. As I was reading the food descriptions on the menu, I started to feel uneasy, like some creep was staring at me. I looked up to find my assumptions true.
Tahno was sitting across from us with his arms around a couple girls, just like the first time we met. He was giving me a creepy smile. I narrowed my eyes at him and looked back down at the menu.
"Korra, what's wrong?" Asked Bolin. The other two looked at me after he said that.
"It's nothing," I muttered.
Mako, who was sitting across from me, turned around and saw Tahno still staring at me. "Aw shit," he said, "It's Tahno." He said his name as if it was poison in his mouth.
Asami took Mako's hand in his and said, "Just ignore him, I don't want him ruining this night." Mako nodded his head and we all went back to reading.
When the waiter came back, we gave him our orders. I got the steak, Asami and Mako got pasta, and Bolin got some mysterious food that I can't even pronounce.
While we were waiting, I took a chance at looking over at Tahno's table again. He was still looking at me. Wait, did he just wink?! I though in disgust, Ew! He winked at me! That asshole! I was about to stand up and go over there when Bolin held onto my arm and said, "Don't do it, Korra, we don't want to get kicked out when we haven't even eaten yet."
"Is that creep still bothering you?!" Asked Mako as he once again turned around and eyed Tahno. If I wasn't mistaken, he blew a kiss at him playfully. Everyone at his table laughed. "Oh, that's it!" He cried as he got up.
Asami grabbed his hand and pulled him back, "Mako! Behave! Please!"
The two guys eyed each other for quite some time until Mako finally gave up and sat back down.
Our food finally came. The waiter gave Asami and Mako's dish to them, then mine, then Bolin's. I looked at it with a confused expression. "Um… Bolin? Just…. What did you order?" I asked as I pointed at it.
After the waiter left he just shrugged and said, "I don't know, it sounded good, so I got it."
We all watched in curiosity as he stuffed his face into the food.
Halfway through my meal, my brain was telling me to look over at Tahno, but when I did, I saw that he was walking over towards us. I continued eating casually, but braced myself for what was going to happen. I was the only one at our table who noticed his approach.
"Oh, why, hello there, Uvatar." He said creepily as he stood next to me.
"Do you mind?" Started Asami, "Pick a fight some other time."
Tahno raised his hands up in a mock surrender, "Well excuse me, little miss prissy, but I'm not here to pick a fight." He put his hands down and looked at me with a creepy smile.
"What do you want, pretty boy?" I asked, he leaned closer to my face, making me lean back in my chair more.
"You," he said. "I never realized how sexy you were until now."
"Get a life." I retorted. His smile only got wider.
He said, "Only with you in it."
Tahno was pulled back with enough force to make him fall to the ground. "Korra obviously doesn't want you around her, now why don't you just go back to your whores?" Said Mako. I looked at him in shock, and so did everyone else in the room.
"Is there a problem here?" asked one of the waiters.
Tahno got up and said while eyeing Mako, "No problem at all." Before he went back to his table, he winked at me. Again. I took my fork and stabbed the steak with all my might, pretending it was his head.
When we finished eating, Asami paid the bill. "I can go change now, right?" I asked Asami.
"Of course!" She said as we headed back to the white room we were first in. The two brothers went to a separate one.
I decided to keep my makeup on and continue to let my hair down.
"Where to now?" I asked as we left the building.
"We should do things we haven't done before at night! That's appropriate!" Offered Asami with a grin.
Mako kissed her cheek and said, "Great idea!... but only appropriate stuff? That narrows it down for me…"
I felt like I was going to puke.
"Alright then," Started the dark haired woman, "Let's start with Bolin."
We all watched the youngest of the brothers rub his chin and look up. After a while he said, "I have never played on the playground at night before!"
I raised an eyebrow.
"Great! Neither have I!" said Asami as she clapped her hands together and smiled.
I face palmed without them noticing. We ran towards the park and I hopped on one of the swings while Mako hopped onto the one next to me. "I bet I'll swing higher than you," he said with a smirk.
"Oh really?" I asked. The race began.
I was so high, I flipped around the swing set.
"Holy shit, Korra!" Cried Bolin. "That scared me half to death!" I laughed, mostly because I won the battle.
The two of us got off and joined the others on the playground. "Weee!" Cried Asami as she went down the slide. I laughed at how much it did not fit her.
We all approached the rides where you manually swing it back and forth. One was a flying bison, another was a flying lemur, another was a fire dragon, and the last one was a water dragon. Bolin jumped onto the flying lemur and rode it back and forth going, "Yeehaw!"
I face palmed.
"Come on, Korra!" Said Asami as she got onto the flying bison and Mako got on the fire dragon. I sighed and got onto the last one. We all rode back and forth, Asami and Bolin were having the most fun.
"Let's go onto the next person, shall we?" I offered after a while. This children's ride was seriously killing my ass. We all got off and decided Asami should be next.
"I never played in a fountain at night before!" She said.
I raised an eyebrow and asked, "In?" Asami nodded and started running away. We followed suit.
We approached the biggest fountain in the city. Colorful light illuminated it. "Wow…" I whispered. We all took off our shoes and rolled up our pants before we got into the water.
"I-I's cold!" Cried Asami, Mako held her hand as they entered. I went in after Bolin.
"Wow," I started, "It was deeper than I expected." The three of them splashed water at each other. When I got splashed by Bolin, I used my water bending to get revenge. I completely drenched him.
"No fair!" He said, making me laughed. I felt Mako's eyes on me, but I didn't look.
We continued splashing water at each other until I accidentally slipped and fell on Mako. He lost balance and we both fell in the water. "Shit!" We both cried. Mako helped me up, "Are you o-" I noticed him stifling a laugh, "Are you-" He tried again, but he burst out in laughter. The other two looked at me and joined him.
"What?!" I asked, irritated. Asami took out a pocket mirror and handed it to me. I should not have let Asami put mascara on me.
I growled and washed the makeup off.
When we got out, I dried everyone up by using my water bending to remove any excess water. "Thanks," they said when I finished.
"Alright," started Asami, "Mako should go next."
"Hmm… I honestly don't care. Bolin can have another turn if he wants."
"No!" Whined Asami as she hooked her arm in his, "Think, Mako! Something you've never done before at night but you really want to!"
Bolin spoke up, "He likes mazes?"
My eyebrow rose again. "Mazes?" I questioned. Mako looked embarrassed.
"Aw, how cute," started Asami. "There's nothing to be ashamed about, hun. Have you gone to a maze at night before?" Mako shook his head. Asami smiled and said, "Then maze it is! Come on!"
We followed Asami to a maze that was surprisingly open. "I heard that they put up scary attractions at night, but I never got to go," said Mako.
"Then I better hold on to you tight," said Asami. We walked to the front and Asami paid for our entrance.
With a creepy smile the guy said, "Have fun."
I paired up with Bolin as Mako paired with his girlfriend. "Let's have a race to see who gets to the exit the fastest!" Said Bolin with determination.
Mako smiled. "You're on!"
We counted down starting from three. When we reached one, I noticed Mako take Asami's hand and run. I just ran after Bolin who was ahead of me.
"Shit, dead end!" I said for the tenth time, when we turned around, there was a dark figure behind us.
"Mako?" Asked Bolin shakily, the figure started limping towards us, and if I wasn't mistaken, it was growling.
"EEEEEKKKK!" Shrieked Bolin like a girl, he took off past the figure without glancing at them, leaving me alone with the person. I casually walked up to the actor.
"Nice costume," I told him.
"Thanks," He responded. We both laughed.
"How do I get out of here?" I asked him, the man shook his head and said, "Sorry girl, can't say. It will defeat the purpose of this maze." I sighed and continued on my own.
When I turned a corner, I bumped into an Asami-less Mako. "Ouch!" I said, even though it didn't hurt much.
"Korra?" He questioned, "Where's Bolin?"
I smiled and said, "He got scared shitless and ran like a bitch. Asami?"
Mako laughed at my retort, "I turned around a few minutes ago and she was gone. I have no idea what happened. Mind if I accompany you?"
I felt my cheeks get hot so I turned away from him. "Yeah, whatever."
We walked in silence for a while, until we noticed fake mist at our feet. "Wow," I started, "They really are trying hard to scare us."
I heard Mako chuckle, "Since they are trying so hard, why don't we just pretend for a while we're scared?" I nodded at the idea.
There were noises coming from behind us. We watched as an actress in a zombie costume ran lamely towards us. "Run!" I screamed. Mako took my hand and we booked it. After about a couple minutes of sprinting, we stopped and laughed.
Then there was that awkward silence after we realized we were still holding hands. I took my hand back and we just looked at each other, then all of a sudden he said, "You looked really beautiful today, Korra. I mean- I'm not saying you don't look beautiful everyday…But tonight you looked more beautiful than you usually do." I noticed him blush before he looked away. "Sorry, it just came out."
I was about to take his hand in mine when we heard both Bolin and Asami scream. We tried to find them, but instead we found the exit. "Huh," I said as I exited.
"Welcome back!" Said the creepy man, "I hope you enjoyed your time here! If you want, you can climb up those steps-" He pointed at stairs to our right, "And watch your friends!"
"Is it alright if we go find them?" Asked Mako. "Yes, of course, they might die of fear if they stay in there any longer." Then the man walked away.
Mako and I climbed up the steps and spotted them not so far away. They were clinging onto each other and they were both crying. "Help?" They asked.
"They don't look so good…" I said.
"Wait here," said Mako as he went back down the stairs and into the maze once more. When he found the two, Asami threw herself on him and kissed him deeply. I felt jealousy stir within me.
"Where's Korra?" Asked Bolin, trying to sound cool. Mako pointed towards the platform, but there was no way they could see me with the tinted glass.
I went back down the stairs just as they came through the exit.
"Oh, Korra!" Said Boin as he casually walked up to me, "You should have seen how fearless I was and how I was protecting Asami."
I had to smirk at this. "You have a very odd way of protecting."
Mako put a hand on his brother's shoulder and said. "Dude, stop acting like you're cool. We saw everything from behind the glass."
"That was terrifying," said Asami as she once again grabbed hold of Mako.
I looked at her her, confused. "By the way, how did you end up being separated from Mako in the first place?" I crossed my arms.
Asami shrugged and said, "I closed my eyes because I heard something scary, and when I opened them, Mako was gone. I ended up wandering around by myself until I found Bolin."
"Anywho," started Bolin as he turned to me, "You're the last to pick where we go Korra, and it better be good."
I tried to think up stuff I haven't done at night, but that was hard, considering I'm super adventurous. "How about…" I started as I uncrossed my arms, "We go to a night club?"
Everybody just froze and stared at me, the only noise was a cough somewhere in the distance.
"A night club?" Started Bolin, "You want to go to a nightclub?!"
I shrugged. "Well, yeah! What's wrong with that? I've never been to one."
"Is a nightclub categorized in appropriate, Asami?" Asked Mako.
"I… wouldn't know," she responded. They all took their time to agree with the idea, and then we took off.
We arrived at the front of a building named, 'Into The Night,'which I raised an eyebrow at. We could hear the beat of the music from all the way outside. "Ready?" I asked everyone a bit excitedly, they all just stared at the building in wonder.
"How are we even going to get in?" Asked Mako as he looked at the buff bouncer standing at the front, "I don't know what the appropriate age for a club is so…"
"Hey Asami!" Said the bouncer as he flashed a smile in her direction, "I never knew you went to night clubs!"
The brothers and I looked at Asami who just stood there, trying to remember who that guy was. She finally went up to him and said, "Hey there Pablo! Nice night, isn't it? Is it alright if my friends and I enter?" She gave him her award winning smile.
"Of course!" He said as he stepped aside to allow us entry.
I entered last.
"Wow," I said as I scanned the room. Colors flashed everywhere, upbeat music was playing, sweaty people were dancing in the middle, and others were drinking at the bar.
"Hey, Asami," said Mako as he took his girlfriend's hand in his, "Let's go dance!" I watched as he led her to the middle.
"Well?" Started Bolin as he turned to me, "Want to be my dance partner?"
I smiled and followed him.
We danced for what seemed to be hours, and I was constantly getting pulled by some stranger who wanted me to dance with them. What I found funny was that whenever I looked over at Mako, he was looking at me.
"Bolin, I'm going to the bathroom," I told him as I started walking away.
"Don't be long!" He called.
Inside the bathroom, two pretty girls were saying something about hooking up with a guy when I stepped into view. They just looked at me, and then they departed. "Well hello to you too," I mumbled when they were gone.
I looked at myself through the dirty mirror and smoothed out my hair. Afterwards, I washed my face with cool water and then left the room. After I took ten steps forward, hands snaked around my waist.
"Uvatar," whispered a creepy male voice behind me which was unmistakably Tahno's, "You naughty little girl, what are you doing here in a place like this?"
I broke free of his grasp and turned to face him, "Don't touch me," I told him menacingly.
Instead of respecting my wishes, Tahno grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him.
"Get off me, you perv!" I cried as I blasted some fire at him. He stumbled back.
"Korra!" Yelled Mako as he ran up beside me, "Are you alright?"
"Peachy."
"What did he do to you?" He asked with a very worried tone.
Tahno went ahead and spoke with a smirk. "I want to claim what's mine."
I gave him a disgusted look.
"She's not yours!" Yelled Mako. At this point, people stopped dancing to see what the commotion was about.
"Oh?" Asked Tahno, "Then whose is she then? Yours?"
I looked at Mako who was blushing. I went ahead and yelled at the purple haired freak, "I'm no one's, got it pretty boy? If you wanna fight, let's take it outside!"
Tahno tsked, "I will have you soon, Korra." We watched as he walked away. I turned around to find everybody staring at us, so I quickly walked to the back door. I really need some air.
While leaning against the wall, a man with a knife came towards me saying, "Give me your money, bitch." I just stomped my foot in his direction, which caused the rock underneath him to shoot up and hit him on the chin, causing him to fly away.
"Asshole," I muttered.
The door opened and Mako came out. He looked worried. "Korra…" He started,
I didn't say anything or even look at him.
He shut the door and stood next to me. "Do you want to go back home?" He asked.
I shook my head. "I just needed some air. It's not like Tahno got to me or anything, since I could kick his ass any day."
Mako smiled and said, "I know you could."
I looked at him and asked, "So, was the only reason for you coming out here was to check up on me? You know, Asami is waiting in-"
He shot me a look, "Don't say stuff like that, Korra." We stood there, silently staring at each other.
Then I kissed him. Again.
He quickly pulled away with a blush on his face. I was sure one was on mine, too.
"Korra!" He exclaimed.
I smiled slightly. "I couldn't help it…"
"Please, try."
Then he stormed back into the club. I stood there, dumbfounded. I ended up going back home without their knowledge. This night has officially been ruined. He didn't have to go and reject me like that! That was so heartless! I thought as I kicked a wall on my way home.
Now here I am at twelve in the morning, kicking the wall in my room with Naga trying to calm me down. "I hate him!" I cried every time I kicked.
The sliding door slammed open. It was Tenzin in his sleeping clothes, and he looked pissed. "Korra, do you have any idea what time it is?! Why are you kicking the wall so hard?! Are you on your period?!"
I clenched my teeth and fists, then I said finally, "Yes, yes I am! Now leave me alone!"
"Alright, just try to be quieter!" Then he left with a huff. I threw myself on my bed and just thought about how much I hated that jerk Mako right now.
So there! Nothing altered, just fixed. Please leave a review!
And for you readers whom have waited for the last chapter for like, 2 whole freakin years now, it will be up.
Thank you ^^
