A/N: Yay! So this story is officially not a one-shot anymore! Thanks for the support everyone and thank you to my reviewers. I hope you enjoy this next chapter, and happy reading!
"But sir…"
"Do not undermine my authority lieutenant. When I say she will be back that means she WILL be back, in one way or another," Amon sneered.
Amon listened to his surroundings and it was clear that the equalists were confused. They wanted to know if Korra had lost or if she had won the duel. The answer to that question was simple, yet complicated at the same time. She had definitely lost the duel, but she had won Amon's affections.
He was going to follow her and he was going to watch her while she said her last goodbyes.
When Korra arrived home her mind was running miles. She could not believe what she had just done. She had sex with her archenemy...and she had enjoyed it immensely. There was something so alluring about him and the idea of being with him that turned her on. She never quite realized it before, but all those feelings of fear she harbored for him were actually feelings of lust. She was angry at herself for feeling this way, she wanted to cry, but her body would not let her. Her body wanted more, more of his touch, more of his warm breath, more of his physique…more of Amon.
No matter how she was currently feeling she had to go on with life and figure out what to do. She had lost fair and square, and now it was time to face the consequences. How could she ever tell Tenzin? She would have to tell him somehow. Although telling him the truth did not seem like a wise thing to do.
While calling for Naga, she ran her fingers through her roughed up hair. She wanted to appear more put together than she actually was.
"Oh Naga, what am I going to do?" Korra asked her pet.
Naga groaned and licked her hand, causing Korra to giggle. It seemed even Naga was confused. Korra was going to miss Naga…
Korra had made a decision, she would tell Tenzin as soon as she saw him and then leave immediately. She hated goodbyes, they were always so sad and Korra was not up to feeling depressed. Although, she did feel like she owed Mako a goodbye, so perhaps she would make an exception to the rule. She climbed up to her room and started packing some of her basics, hoping that the rest would be provided by Amon.
At the equalist headquarters there was a buzz about the avatar coming. For many it was a blatant sign of disrespect that Amon was bringing the top of all benders to an anti-bender establishment, but Amon did not see it that way. He saw it as an opportunity to get more people to join the equalists, while having a girl he cared about on the side. The arrival about the avatar was supposed to be quiet, but nothing with the avatar was ever quiet. The other equalists that had heard her screams of pleasure had already spread the rumor that she was coming because she had lost a duel with Amon. There were no comments about what happened after the duel though. The equalists were either scared to confront Amon about it or they were too respectful to confront it, because they definitely heard what occurred after the fighting. Amon had to smirk at that, he could still feel her soft tanned skin in his fingers. She was like a dream, a dream he should not be having. He was not quite sure where the avatar would be staying, but he was tempted to have her stay with him in his chambers. Nevertheless, he had a room made for her right across from his own and he decorated it personally with equalist objects. He did not want to spite her, he wanted to "help" her get used to her new surrounds, and it did help that his face was on most of those objects in her new room.
She had just finished talking to Tenzin. She had cried throughout the whole conversations, but she had done it and now it was time to talk to Mako. As soon as she told him that she was leaving and what had happened he had immediately grown into a rage.
"Korra you can't go! What about team avatar? What about your morals? What about us?" Mako stated, in a frustrated manner
"There was no "us" Mako. It was just me, with a stupid crush on a guy who would never return the favor. As for my morals, I am honoring my word by saying I would join him. I lost and there is no way around that. Team avatar will live on, and you cannot honestly tell me that you believe I will quite fighting. I will fight my way for the equality no matter what! I might even change Amon's mind about benders," Korra explained.
"Korra please, what am I going to tell the others?"
"Tenzin is going to do that."
"Korra how could you be so selfish?!" Mako screamed.
He did not want to admit his own feelings for her, but even if he did confess that he had feelings for her it would be of no use to him now. Korra had those feelings for Amon now. It sounded strange on her lips, but she knew in her heart that it was true. She didn't want to argue with Mako anymore, she wanted to enjoy her last moments with him.
"I am not trying to be selfish Mako, I'm trying to do my job as the avatar. I will try and join both sides together when I'm with them. I am going to help the peace between benders and non-benders and that starts with me making amends with the equalists." Korra told him.
Mako nodded and then sighed. Korra ran to him and gave him a huge bear hug. She ground herself into him and him into her. They hugged so hard she swore she could feel her ribs break a little. When the let each other go Korra gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I will be thinking about you, and I will never forget you," Korra promised.
Tears began to run down Mako's face then and Korra could feel the sting of tears coming on as well. She had to leave before she changed her mind. She waved goodbye to him and then took off on Naga. She had to go find her enemies now, and she had to join them.
She had ventured deep into Republic City looking and listening for the hum of the equalist motorcycles. People looked at her like she had a third eye, which was strange because she thought most of the city should have been used to seeing her on her polar bear dog by now. By the time she had figured out why they were staring at her so queerly she had been knocked out cold by Amon, who had been watching her ever since she had last left his sight.
"Goodnight my dear, when you awake you will get to have the pleasure of being introduced to your now fellow equalists and don't worry I'll bring Naga too," Amon whispered to her as she lost consciousness.
