Chapter: 3
"You're coming with me avatar," Zaheer growled, reaching around Mako and grabbing Korra's arm.
Mako was momentarily paralyzed with fear, but before could finally react, Gahzan had caught him off guard and pinned him to the ground.
"No," yelled Mako, "You're not taking her anywhere!" "Bo, tell him they're not taking her anywhere."
Silence.
Mako turned his head towards him to see what was wrong. To his horror, Ming-Hua had a knife held against his throat. Little droplets of blood already seeping out.
"You won't get away with this Zaheer!" He tries for the last time, his tears making contact with the cold, hard floor.
"It seems that I've already have," he cackles, dragging Korra out of the room.
She screams in protest.
"No. Zaheer. Let me go." "Let me go!"
She uses all her might to try and break out of the death grip he has on her.
To make her stop he digs his nails dig into her skin, smiling when she gives out a yelp in pain.
He throws her in a cell significantly smaller than the one she was in before, and the door slams.
She's once again enveloped in darkness.
But this time she's alone.
Zaheer walks over to P'Li and sternly whispers to her, "She gets no food, no water, nothing!
"Let her fade away in the merciless hole that is her thoughts."
"But stay close by. For once she is on the verge of death, she will go into the avatar state. You then come get me, and together we will end her, once and for all. Then may we have a chance to live in peace."
"Zaheer."
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"I've failed them all."
"Bolin, Mako, Asami, Tenzin, the new airbenders… even Lin."
"I'm a sad excuse for an avatar. I can't even save myself, how am I supposed to save the rest of the world?"
"I deserve to die."
"I want to die."
Korra was torn from her thoughts when she hears a knock on the wall next to her.
After she gets over the shock, she gives a knock in return.
But after several moments of silence, she begins to believe that it was just a trick of the mind.
She jumps when it happens again.
Now she knows it wasn't her imagination.
She goes to knock again, but before she does, there's another knock.
This time it comes in a pattern.
Wait, she knows that knock! It's Mako!
"Mako! Mako! I'm here, I'm okay," she yells.
But she might as well be talking to thin air because she knows he can't hear her.
It repeats again.
This time she answers.
"I love you," she whispers to the wall.
Tadaaaa!
There you have it!
Next chapter will be longer, I promise!
I'll update as soon as I can
Love you,
