Can You Keep a Secret?
Chapter 2: Embrace your Spyness
"What do you mean, you wouldn't make me a milkshake?" asks my light brown haired, earthbender, and fellow spy, Shealeigh Marks after the flight attendant said he couldn't make her a milkshake. I groaned as I shrink back into my seat, embarrass by my friend. It took a long time to get on this private plane for Sugar 'n Spice Girls (because girls are described as sugar and spice and everything nice, even though I don't like to be named almost after a girls band but I'll live with it).
I sat next to Maybelle and Shealeigh on the plane across from us is Jinora, Ikki, and our guardian from this trip, Pema. Waiting for a call or text or e-mail for Mako, I just sit there. For this trip, we had to make fake ID's. So now I feel like no body really knows how I am. Shealeigh is still complaining about not having a milkshake. The flight attendant asked if she and her friends (Maybelle and I) if we'd want a ice cream soda instead.
"Sure!" Shealeigh smiled. Jinora and Ikki asked for one too. I heard sounds of talking, munching, slipping, slurping, snorting, laughing, and of course singing. Singing from Taylor Swift on the radio and now One Direction. I checked my phone. No new messages. I text Mako.
Me: Hey, are you alright? I'm so sorry. If I wish I could just tell you.
Maybelle happened to be looking over my shoulder. "It's okay," She cooed sounding just like Senna, my mother. "Boys never can be mad at someone for a long time just give it a good day. He'll call you." I turned and looked at her with a look that said are-you-sure-he-wouldn't-never-forgive-me-and-Boli n-will-cry-about-never-seeing-me-for-a-year? Maybelle responded like a good friend would and nodded, yes. I signed and smiled just then our ice cream soda came.
I licked the ice cream floating over it. "Excuse me, are you guys new?" said a voice behind Maybelle and I. We turned around and saw a girl with blond hair, blue eyes, her features were etched with kindness. Maybelle and I nodded. The girl take out her hand. "Bryn."
"Maybelle." Maybelle introduced.
"Korra." I said. Bryn smiled. Her smile reminded me of Bolin and his way to brighten a gloomy day. But suddenly the sound of the plane stopping interrupted my thoughts. The ride had came to a stop. Maybelle, Shealeigh, Bryn, and I looked at each other. "No way," Bryn said. "This is a 18 hour flight. This has only been 2 hours. Where'd the plane stop?" I wasn't gonna wait and find out. I got out of my seat. Maybelle, Shealeigh, Jinora, Ikki, and Bryn followed. The flight attendants were going to the pilots and ask why the plane stopped.
The terrify screams of girl ringed in my ear. We walked to the door which was slid open and 2 masked people came out. I narrowed my eyes. One pushed me out of the way. They both went to the seating place where I heard screams. I ran to the screams and find them near someone I thought I knew. I squinted so I could see it better. It was… ASAMI SATO! (horror movie scream!) The guys toke a hold of her by her arm and demanded for her to come with them.
"Hey!" I shouted. "Leave her alone!" I sprinted to one and mid-kicked it in the air. Sending she or him flying into the air and falling on the floor. I smiled happily and looked at my leg, I don't know I could do that. I guess I underestimate my own power. But swiftly the other one punched me and sending me on the floor. I groaned as I touched my jaw line, seeing if it was broke. It wasn't. The masked people had Asami and was taking her to their plane. Maybelle and Shealeigh rushed to me.
"Are you okay?" They asked.
"Yes! I'm fine!" I said. "They have Asami, we have to get her!" Jinora and Ikki were grabbing Asami by her arms playing Tug of War with masked people. I dashed to them and pried Ikki's fingers from Asami's arms and put mine. I pulled Asami closer to us. Jinora and I groaned as the masked people pulled her farer from us. My feet were close to falling from the plane. As we got closer to the end of the plane. The more help we got and finally we pulled Asami any from the masked people. Behind their masks, I can tell they were glaring.
After that shocking surprise, everybody calmed down. I spun around to Asami, asking why that prima donna was here. My features were etched with concern and angry. I crossed my arms and waited for a answer.
"I'm here because…." Asami said. "Because," she started to tear up. "I was walking to the store to pick up my groceries and I saw 2 people talking about something and I don't know but they have been after me even since. I won't dare tell Mako or Bolin so that's why when I saw you…." Asami stopped but then continued. "I know I would safe if I was in the arms of….. A Sugar n' Spice Spy." I gasped. How does Asami know I'm a spy? I thought Asami's mind of us being spies were erased. There are pro's and con's about protecting Asami Sato from crazy weird masked people while not telling her boyfriend where she is.
PRO: Asami is Mako's boyfriend and it's easier for me to ignore her then to keep talking to her. And I think if someone knew you were a spy, you kill them. (which can be an option, I think)
CON: Mako would find me more likable not that I saved his girlfriend from 2 masked people would I think would to kill her.
PRO: How on Earth am I gonna baby-sit this prima donna?
I fell asleep after 4 hours into the plane ride. So far I got one text for Mako. Saying…
Mako: Tell me what? That you bailed on us, left us with Miriam who is doing a very good job, and don't tell us a thing. I'm lonely, Korra. Bolin and I are lonely and where is Asami? The last time I saw her, she was heading for Air Temple Island to find you.
I want to answer Mako's text, I want to tell Mako where Asami is, and I want to tell Mako I'm a Sugar n' Spice Girl or Sugar n' Spice Spy. So I just ignored the text.
Finally 18 hours were up. It was sunrise and everybody was asleep. The sun peeked out and hit my face like they masked man did to me. But that's my question. What are the masked man or women? Why are they here? And what do they want with Asami?
We marched to the school. It was a big rustic place with many fellow spies. Spy Karate training, there is where kids can learn the basics: Reading, Writing, Math, etc. That's when a tall guy, vermillion hair, burnt sienna dipper suit looks like he's in his 40's came in. "Hello," He said. "You must be Avatar Korra." He held out his hand. I put my hand out and shook it. "That I am." I replied. He turned and saw the rest of the party. "Good Evening, Miss Marks, Miss Spears, Miss Jinora, Miss Ikki, and Mrs. Pema," Wow, that guy came say a lot of Miss's. "Welcome to Justice North Spy School for Girls. My name is Mr. Ryan, please follow me to your dorms." We sauntered over to the rooms with doors just like in Air Temple Island. They made me a little homesick. I checked my phone. New message: Mako. I closed my eyes and ignored 'cause if I had open my eyes, I would try to take it back. Mr. Ryan showed Jinora and Ikki where they're rooms are. Jinora and Ikki screamed in enjoyment. Jinora jumped on her bed while Ikki rolled over her bed like a dog. Pema came in there 'cause they prevented her with a bed. Mr. Ryan showed Maybelle, Shealeigh, Asami, and I to our dorm.
It had 2 beds and a bunk bed. I turned and thanked Mr. Ryan. "Thank you, Mr. Ryan but I must say why is Asami here?"
Mr. Ryan smiled. "Um, yes. Her father told us about it. From the time being Miss. Sato will be still with you."
"But_"
"No more questions." Mr. Ryan said quickly and shut the door. I looked after him, weird-ed out but it didn't stop me from having fun. I looked around the room and saw a bed. I ran to it and said. "I call this one!" Maybelle, Shealeigh, and Asami looked at the last bed. They swiftly made it to the bed but Maybelle was the smart one because she put her suitcases on the bed and said. "Mine!"
Asami took the first bunk and Shealeigh took the bottom. We adjusted pretty quick. I decorated my place with a desk, computer, radio is listen to music and catch up on my Probending. I put wallpapers there and a mirror and a giant letter that said K. After that was when Mr. Ryan came in with our school uniforms. A red and white varsity jacket with a white tunic with a plaid pleated skirt with leggings and choice of shoes. With a badge that said
Sugar
Spice
Spy
"Why can't I have the boy uniform?" I remarked to Maybelle who was laughing at my remark.
"Well, there's no boys here, is there?" Maybelle answered. I laughed, knowing that she is right, there are not boys here if they were I bet I could hired Mako and Bolin in here and I didn't have to keep this secret from them anymore. I know I'm a spy and my identify is a secret I must kept to myself but if only there were a way to end secret-telling but being a spy, secrets and danger are never far apart.
0:00am
Sleep for me is very brutal. Of course after you almost saw Asami got taken from these masked guys. I couldn't sleep. My eyes were wide open watching Maybelle, Shealeigh, and Asami sleep. I know is weird but you would be the same thing if you could sleep!
01:07am
SLEEP! FYI, COME TO ME!
01:56am
This is hopeless. I wouldn't know sleep if it knock me in the head. Which I think happened to Ikki once. No wonder that kid is a fast sleeper.
2:24am
The wind blew in my face. My bangs were covering my face but slowly Mako put his hand over them. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. His face was etched with passion. I smiled again, this time brighter. "Mako, I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you I'm a spy. I just can't face you."
Mako smiled. "Korra, embrace your spyness. Your beautiful, cool, and the best Avatar ever. And Korra, I love you. Do you love me?"
I chuckled. "I'd tell you I love you but then I have to kill you." Mako smiled then slowly his lips came to mine. I shook my hair away from my cheeks and closed my eyes and waited for Mako's lips to come to mine but suddenly a gunfire shot in the background. I open my eyes and Mako wasn't there. It was the two masked people lying on the floor, dead. Their bleeding bodies stained the floor then I saw Maybelle, Shealeigh, Jinora, and Ikki all with guns. They looked at me then something I was holding. It was a gun. I shot the people. I dropped it down and screamed. I didn't like to kill people. I know I'm a spy but seriously I'm like Batman. I kick people out, to sleep, not eternal sleep.
My whole world came apart. All I could see now is me. Dressing the masked people for them funeral (because they dress the body which I don't know why). Then I left leaving a note in there coffin that said Can You Keep a Secret?
3:45am
With I cold sweat I wake up. I clutched my hand to my heart. I got up. And dragged my feet to the floor. I thought I heard noises but I guess not. But then I heard, or I think I heard, a scream. I dragged myself to a candleholder, I sparked a flame to the candle and it lit. I walked to the door with my heart pounding inside of me. Pulse burning and my head was a little dizzy. I slid open the door and looked down and saw a Bryn's bleeding body on my doorstep. I scream like I was in a horror movie. Hot tears rushed down my face. I wonder who could do this too a sweet and innocent girl. I went to my knees and continued to cry and scream. I saw the light come on in my room. But that didn't get my attention what did was a note on Bryn that said a line I thought to only see in my dream and it was Can you keep a secret?
Now another secret I have to keep or figure it out.
