Note: Okay so…this chapter is basically just an intro to the rest of the story. This is my first time writing a Fanfic lol so….be nice, or well…at least be understanding. I'm a huge LOK fan ^.^ and a few of my friends even call me Korra because they say I act like her….So it kind of inspired me to really write an FF about the show. I hope you enjoy it. The beginning is just an intro to start things off but there will be more to come.

The night was dank and dark with a light haze glowing over the city lights of Republic City. There was a light moisture that hung in the air, smelling of saltwater and whatever scents that drifted about from the day time city life. It didn't help that the flight on Oogie's back forced a chill down everyone's spines from the wind…. That and the fact that they couldn't find the Avatar….Avatar Korra.

Tenzin, Lin Beifong, and the remains of Team Avatar, minus Korra, were anxiously scanning the city for the lost watertribe girl, the most anxious and persistent of them all, being Mako. Though he was with the beautiful, green-eyed Asami, he couldn't fathom the idea of possibly losing the waterbender the moment that he had found out she was in trouble. How could he be so stupid? How could he have been such an idiot and reject her feelings? It was obvious that she had started to like him ever since they had become teammates, and he would admit that he had been intrigued by her as well, but….he had rejected her, too afraid to risk any drama with the team and too awkward to say anything….How could he be so stupid? And now this? He had to find her. He didn't want his chances with her to be something taken for granted any longer… It just wasn't right.

Suddenly, Mako's brows jerked up at a white figure wandering around on the streets. He straightened his posture, instantly erect at the sight of a giant polarbear-dog. "Look! It's Naga!"

Tenzin strained on the reins so that Oogie, the large skybison, would glide down and land on the street.

Bolin leaned his body over the edge of the saddle as they neared the ground, his emerald eyes wide with excitement and fear. "Is that Korra?"

Everyone leapt off of the saddle the moment they landed, quickly crowding the polarbear-dog with a very unconscious Avatar on her back.

"Korra!" called Tenzin.

Aqua irises lazily peaked from beneath the waterbender's heavy eyelids. Her mocha skin bruised and scratched from whatever hardships she had encountered from being kidnapped.

Mako's heart jerked unexpectedly as he was over come with the impulse to take control. It was that innocence in her eyes from her utter exhaustion that made her seem so fragile. Korra was hurt and he wanted no one to touch her. With a surge of possessiveness, he scowled and aggressively stormed through the group. "Give her some space!"

Asami stared at him in shock as he brushed her aside and impatiently strode forward to take Korra in his arms. Then he turned and walked off toward Oogie as if no one else existed, as if no one else mattered, and that alone made Asami feel somewhat empty…

Mako stared down at the battered Avatar, who now sported a new cut over her left cheek and another on her left shoulder. He didn't even want to look for the other wounds.

She looked up at him with disheveled hair and exhausted oceanic eyes.

"I was worried about you…" his dark brows slanted upward and his voice came out soft. "Are you ok?"

"Yes, I'm fine.." she smirked weakly. "I'm just glad you're here.." Her eyes drifted closed for a moment and she rested her head against his chest, his spiced fiery scent whelming her senses entirely.

That statement alone made it even more impossible for Mako to ever tear his eyes away form her. From then on, he wasn't going to let her out of his sight. He never wanted his Korra snatched away from him again, not in any way, shape, or form.

His Korra?…

…Well that was it felt like wasn't it?… She had weeded her way so deep into he and Bolin's life that he couldn't imagine a time without her….without the way she was bold and brought about this high energy every time she entered a room…the way she charged into to everything without preparation…the way she kissed him at the probending championship tournament…

He gently rested her weary form into the saddle on Oogie's back, before reaching over to brush a strand of hair from her face. He would never take his flarey amber eyes off of her ever again. Losing her would be risking to much and he meant that selfishly. "You're safe now." He stated boldly after pushing back her hair.

Korra met his warm eyes with half consciousness and easily slipped off into a deep sleep.

This is all basically just a refresh of everyones memory and a brief guide on how people are feeling.
