Clean

He awoke to the sound of water rushing down the drain. I was still dark outside, the moon still shining in all her glory. The spot next to him was empty and felt cold. Korra must have been up for a while. Tarrlok looked down at the mess of furs and blankets next to him, they were even messier than usual, she must have been tossing and turning for quite a while.

Tarrlok slipped his legs over the edge of the bed and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. The water was still rushing down the drain but this time he also heard a quiet sob. He stood from the bed and ran the few steps to the ensuite. The door was locked and he could hear the sobbing more clearly than before. It was Korra.

"Korra?" he tried to open the door, his voice thick with worry, "Please open the door." The water stopped and the lock clicked. Tarrlok opened the door slowly and saw her huddled between the basin and the bathtub. Where he could see her skin it had been rubbed raw.

Tarrlok knelt in front of her and cupped her face with his hands, running his thumbs softly of her eyelids, the skin ringed red beneath them.

"Korra, what happened?" He looked at her, worry written all over his face. Korra looked at him briefly before pushing herself from the wall and into his chest. She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and buried her head into his chest. She trembled under his arms as he pulled her closer.

"It was Amon," she whispered before another escaped from her lips, "he caught me, he was everywhere and I couldn't escape. He took my bending." Tarrlok gently rubbed her back and kissed the top of her head as another sob broke free.

"Shh, shh, it's okay now. It was just a bad dream." He said, continuing to rub soft circles onto her back.

"I know, I know it was just a dream. But I can still feel him. I can still feel his hands all over me. It won't go away." She pushed herself closer to him than before and buried herself into him again. Her body shook as she started to cry again.

"It's okay, Korra. I'm right here and he's not. I won't let him touch you." Tarrlok pulled her face away from his chest gently and placed a soft kiss to her lips. He wiped the tears from her eyes and pulled her back to him. He picked her up and carried her bridal style back to the bed they shared.

He placed her under her favourite furs and slipped in beside her. Korra pulled him close and wrapped herself up in him. He held her as closely as he could and whispered assurances to her until her breathing evened out and she slowly fell asleep.

Tarrlok pressed his lips softly to the top of her head and watched over her as she slept.
