Do Not Own!
Korra Pov
I stood there, waiting for him, the man I've hated my entire life. i just found out that he's been poaching on my family's land. but not tonight. tonight i will catch him and i will kill him.
We've been fighting over this piece of land for years but it is finally mine.i see a figure coming closer in the distance. i ready my rifle.
there he is. Mako Solvieg. we both stand there glaring at each other. rifles in both our hands. i was about to pull the trigger when suddenly we hear nature's shriek in the distance.
a beech tree branch fall on top of us, pinning us to the ground next to each other. there is no way in hell that i'm going to die here next to him..
Mako Pov
there is no way i am going to die here next to her. even though she's the enemy, she's pretty bad-ass. I've always admired her. the way she doesn't show fear, the way she dodges attacks, the way she talks as if she's in charge.
"why are you poaching on my land?" she tried to sound tough but even i could hear the pain in her voice.
"my father ordered me to take back what was originally ours." i tried to make it seem as if i wasn't that bad but she still is angered by me.
"why don't you and your family just leave us alone?! we won this land and it's not fair for you to poach on our land."
"i wish we would leave you guys alone" i mutter. i couldn't stand the two of us hating each other because of our parents.
Korra Pov
did i hear him correctly? does he really feel bad for doing this? no, it couldn't be. it's a trick, i just know it...or is it?
"i'm sick and tired of this! why does your family always have to contradict us?!"
"I don't know. this is our parents' feud, not ours'! we shouldn't even be involved in this mess."
"i will always stand by my parents, no matter how ridiculous this ma be."
"i too love my parents but we can't live like this. this fight is having a negative affect on our lives."
"how so?" i really want to hear what he has to say. he might be my enemy but he's really charming.
Mako Pov
I want to her to see that i care about her.
" look at us both. trapped under a branch and possibly bleeding to death. Korra, i don't want to die like this."
"me either. I've always hated you because my parents hated you. but honestly, i don't see you as a bad person."
"does she really mean that? she finally sees my opinion of this fight. i have an idea, the more i think of it, the more i want to do it. i look at the girl trapped next to me. here goes nothing.
" you know to be perfectly honest, i actually sort of like you."
" i like you too but-
" but what?"
" i see figures out in the distance heading this way! we're saved!"
" really how many people?"
"i can't see distinctively. nine or ten."
"they are running as fast as they can!"
" are they your soldiers?" are they you soldiers?!" i ask impatiently
"no" said Korra with a laugh, the idiotic chattering laugh of a woman unstrung with hideous fear.
"Who are they?" i asked quickly, straining my eyes to see what the other would gladly not have seen.
"Wolves."
