I decided to update this story even though NO ONE REVIEWED! Reason why is I have chapter 4 done too and I really want to post it…
We fast forward to the present day, she is sixteen and lives with her Uncle Sumi.
Father dead of a broken heart soon after he got his revenge.
He left me in the care of Uncle Sumi. We constantly train and learn.
I do well in school, Uncle Sumi won't take anything less than an A and my fire bender has grown stronger. I can now use lightening but I prefer not to. Uncle Sumi agrees that my white fire is enough.
I have no time for friends and Bo and Mako are now just distant memories. I hatedly think of them. I have no time for friends or for anything more.
Family comes to first.
Uncle Sumi keeps me at home, doing small chores and a few Red Marsoon raids. I usually do not do any hardcore stuff, Uncle won't let me no matter how much I want to be in the action. Usually I'm that person hiding around the buildings making bird calls when it is time to go. It is so boring!
"Leala, come here!" Uncle Sumi called from the kitchen
"Coming Uncle!" I called
I ran downstairs and run to the kitchen, Uncle was there sipping some tea, the paper in his hand.
"I think you should go to a pro-bending match."
"Why? You always tell me I can't."
"This review is making me think." Uncle Sumi said, "listen. Mako, the firebender of the Fire Ferrets shows a new type of style if bending, only shown twice in pro-bending and not shown anywhere in the world.
Known as cool under fire, this showcases quick short burst of energy that just refuses to stop. Any firebender who wants to be the best most know these moves! Come and see the fire ferrets now!"
Mako...like Bo and Mako. My old friends, they probably won't remember me, even if they did I changed so much, they wouldn't be see the old me. The innocent me, the happy me.
"I got us tickets. They have a match tonight at seven, I want you to take a notebook and a pen, I'll do the same. We will take notes on this Mako and the other benders, you need to know what you are going against." He said.
"Yes Uncle." I ran to go upstairs, I was going out. I needed some time to think.
"Leala." Uncle paused.
"Yes?"
"I want you to be happy. My sister would want you to be happy. I want it too, are you, are you happy?" He asked.
"I am, Uncle." I said, "I'm going out, I need some fresh air."
"Ok, be back for training."
"I know."
I walk out, letting out a huge sign of release. A tear rolled down my face. I brushed it away quickly.
In that house I can't be me, I can't show sorrow, anger, Happiness. , I must feign happiness. It kills me but it kills Uncle more. He knows I am still not over my families death. I have no revenge just sorrow.
I walk to the park, maybe I can find something to do. There isn't much to do. I used to go look for Bo but I never once found him. I finally gave up.
It's not worth more sorrow, the heartache.
I walked to the park seeing nothing out if the ordinary. The usual loony talking about some guy who will rid the world of benders, I snort under my breath as I walk by.
"What did you just say, you bender?!"
"Nothing."
"How dare you try to bend us! We are the majority, the savor will rid you if your bending!"
"I'm not in the mood." I said, my white fire bursting in my hand."
He backed away. "You, you can't suppress us."
"I think I just did." I smirked blowing my flame at him, sparks fly at him, singing his robes.
I kept walking, trying to enjoy the sound of the water. I kept sat on my of favorite childhood bench. The one facing the water at just the right angel to give me a beautiful view of the whole park.
I watched the children play, their parents carefully watching their every move. Fluttering over them in case they trip and have a booboo.
"LeeLee?" I heard someone call. I haven't had anyone call me that for awhile. It sounded weird to my ears, reminding me of my childhood innocent.
"LeeLee is gone." I said, turning around hoping to see Bolin. I came face to face with Mako. Damn, he got hot.
"I know, it's Leala isn't it?" He smirked, his usual smirk.
"Maybe, what's it to you?"
"We'll, I had a childhood friend named Leala, she is amazing and I miss her. I want to say I miss her more than Bo but I don't. No one misses her more than Bo. But you wouldn't know who he is. Well, let me tell you. When Leala didn't come back to our favorite place, this bench actually Bo was taken with grief, he spent hours looking for her. Calling for her but no response, he would wait all night, just waiting for her. He used to come here waiting for her to sit down, like what you are doing. It drove him depress, he finally stopped but not until I promised to come here in return. Do you know her?"
"Mako...I miss him so much." I cried. I just burst into to tears. It felt so...good, like the weight of the world has let go. "I miss him, I miss you. I miss my family. I miss being me, miss being LeeLee."
"Shush, Leala. I know, I know what happened and everything will be ok. I promise. Please come see Bo. He misses you so much."
"I will, I'll be seeing the fire ferrets and the amazing Mako at seven."
"That's great, I'll bring you back stage, we have an amazing view and Bo will be so happy to see you."
"I can't. Mako. I can't let myself feel. I already. Please understand. I'm not the same person anymore. I'm different he won't like me. He won't."
"How can you say that! You know it's not true. I can tell, Leala. Please you must see him. He, I, we, we need you."
"I'll always be there. I will. When you need me I will come but until then let me leave. Pretend we never met, I will stop coming here. I just can't be like this and it only happens when I'm with you."
Mako leaned over him, his eyes darting to find LeeLee in me. His hand reaches for my neck, his other hand tilting my chin up.
Our lips inches from each other, "promise me, Leala. Promise me, you will always be there."
"I promise." I whispered back.
He crushed his lips against mine, my first kiss with the older brother of the person I love. His lips, hot and soft full if need and lust, his hand stops me from breaking the kiss. I close my eyes and give in pretendin to kiss Bo.
I know Bo would be less experience. He would be timid and slow,. He might start off playing with a stand of my, tugging it to him until I come close enou
I didn't know where I was going I just knew I had to get away from him.I know Bo would be less experience. He would be timid and slow,. He might start off playing with a stand of my hair, tugging it to him until I come close enough. Then he might just give a quick kiss, like a burst of feeling. Bo would then look away, probably rubbing the back of his neck as he blushes crimson red. He would only look up if I smile, imagine, when I would smile he would too and then he would kiss me again not like the first time but different full of love, slow and careful, still as timid. Bo, I want to kiss Bo.
Mako"s lips left mine as he took a breath of air, opening his eyes he looks at me. I looked back.
"Good bye Mako." I said.
"Leala. I want you to come here. I won't."
"Thank you." I nodded and left. I didn't know where I was going I just knew I had to get away from him.
I didn't have to be home in a while so I walked around.
"Damn. Where can a person find some leechi juice here?"
I ran into her as she spun around quickly.
"Sorry." I responded
"It's ok. Do you know where you can find leechi juice?"
"Grocery store." I answered, I have no reason to help a tourist.
"Duh. I know that. Can you show me where?"
"I have somewhere to be."
"O, really? Where?"
I blanked.
"Exactly." The teen leaned on her leg and crossed her arms smirking.
"Fine." I said coldly. I tightened my loose silky white wrap, securing it on my head, the loose end thrown over my shoulder.
"Names Korra by the way." She said, as I began to take her.
"Leala."
"Strange name. Not saying it's bad or anything. You have a nickname?"
I thought for a while before responding. "LeeLee, I used to be called LeeLee."
"Cool. So you live here?"
"Yes. All my life." I responded.
"Must be nice. You a bender?"
"Yes, a firebender." There was no need to lie.
"Cool, I'm a firebender too."
"I would have guessed a waterbender." I answered looking at her clothes, traditional Southern Water Tribe garb.
"I am."
"You are the avatar." I responded.
"Yes. I am." She said.
I didn't say anything. I don't care. There isn't she can do to change our lives. No war to stop. The last avatar made sure of that. Our lives run mostly smoothly. Besides, it's not like she can bring back the dead.
"So, are you good?" She asked
"Excuse me." I asked, she brought me back from my thoughts.
"Are you good at firebending?"
"You can say that." I shrugged. I did not gloat my powers.
"So, what do you do around here? See any pro-bending match?" She asked. She will not stop talking.
"I've never been to a match before. I am going to my first one today at seven to see the fire ferrets."
"Cool. Tenzin won't let me go to one." She said, with an annoying look to her. "Hey! Why don't we go together. You know?" She asked, bursting before me. Standing in front of me.
"I don't know." I responded. Uncle Sumi will not like it if I bring someone along."
"Come on. It will be fun!"
"My Uncle will not permit it." I told her.
"Your Uncle reminds me of Tenzin." She responded, going back beside me. As we continue walking to the store.
"Stop, thief!" We turns our heads in allusion, I saw a Triple Threat Triad come out of an antique shop, holding the register. He ran into a car and was coming straight for us.
Korra was quicker than I thought. She steadied herself, her body in the horse position and she brought her arms up above her head, the car went flying up, then going straight down. I saw children and some people. If the car falls at such a height the rubble might hit them. She doesn't think.
I quickly braced myself. Watching the car as it drops. I turn quickly, spinning on my toes. A deep breath and fire drew from my exhale and the palms of my hands. The white flames shooting on the ground, heating it causing it to become soft.
The car drops hard causing only dust to form, the rubber and metal of the car melted into the earth. The hot earth, soft, took most if the impact.
I pulled my scarf closer to my face, making sure no one can see anything but my eyes.
"O my god, I wasn't -" Korra said, finally she was thinking about what she could have caused.
"Thinking. How could you put those people's lives at risk!" I yelled at her. "You could have killed them!"
"I'm, I'm sorry." She said. Looking at the destruction we caused.
"I have to go." I said, "I caused too much publicity."
I silently left like my Uncle showed me; I disappeared in the forming crowd. Leaving Korra stunned by her revelation.
As soon as I arrived home Uncle burst in my face.
"What did you do?" He seethed.
"I saved people." I answered
"With your white fire!"
"Yes. It was the only way in the time I had to heat the ground to the temperature it need to be to work. I am sorry I was given no choice."
"Yes because of that avatar." He responded bitterly
"She is reckless." I shrugged. "She didn't know what she is doing."
"I have some...stuff to take care of now." He answered. "So, I cannot go to the arena."
"So what should we do?" I asked, I really wanted to go to the match.
"You are going to go." He answered. "I know you want to go, so you are. Have fun."
"Really?" I asked, I didn't know Uncle to know what fun is.
"Yes. I saw you kiss Mako, Lea. I have people watching your every move." He looked at me.
My face, surprise with distrust written all over it with a slight blush. That was private. I can't believe he would do that to me.
"I know but please understand you will be the leader of the Agni Kai when the time comes. We must watch over you." He answered, watching me wearily
"So what do you want me to do?" I asked, the only thing I knew to say
"The rest of the family believes he is a suitable match for you. Even though we have never gone to a pro-bending match others in our family has and they have seen his work. A strong firebender. He would make a good husband."
"What! Uncle, no I'm too young." I said quickly.
"You are sixteen, I know, still too young but he is eighteen. He is about to come to the age of marriage and we believe it should be use. Even though he is from a multi-culture family with an earth bending brother he has a wonderful sense of family commitment. Which we deem very important, important enough to look over his tainted blood."
I stood stock and still. Bo, I could never be with Bo. He is an earth bender, my family would never allow it. I hated how he said earth bending brother. Bo is a talented bender, and has a heart of gold.
"What do you want me to do?" I reply.
"I want you to hand around with him, let us see more." Uncle responded with a careless wave. "We believe the pro-bending match will be the perfect time.
"No. I won't."
"What!" Uncle said,meeting up now, angry.
"Unless you and the rest of the family stop following me when I am with him. How can I truly get to know him? I'll be too nervous with you following me." I responded.
"I agree." He said, thinking, his anger gone, replaced with thoughtfulness. He sat back down and replied. "Fine. I will call the people off. Have fun on your date, no training today. Here." Uncle handed me some money. "Go out and get pretty. No training today."
I looked at my robes, burnt and dirty, i don't have many clothes for no need. My outfit is simple and doesn't need that stuff to keep me down.
I took the money, nodded and left. I walked back out and went to the fabric store. I counted the money and I had more than enough for what I needed
"Hello. Can I please see that white clothe hanging behind you." I asked the person at the desk. He looked confused and looked me over. I took my money out and he went to get it.
I felt the sample that he gave. It should have been worn but it remained clean and beautiful.
"Here you go miss. The clothe is a silk made from the rare spider butterfly. As you can see, it doesn't worn and is resistant to fire."
"It's beautiful." I responded.
Truly it was, beautiful and useful, the clothe was white but in the light it shimmered different colors like my fire. It would make the perfect cover."
I'll take about five yard of if." I told him. He told me the price, it was a lot but was worth it. I gave him the money, having only a few bills left.
He wrapped and it and bagged handing it to me.
"Have a nice day!" He called as I left.
I walked to another store that had my usually clothes in it, I picked a pair if white leggings and a white long sleeve top that was shoulder less. I paid and l left. I then when to a leather accessory store and found a corset stretched with gold. I found a pair of high boots, simple but well made. I paid, with only a few coins left.
"Back already?" Uncle asked, he was still sitting in the same seat.
"Yes. I'm going to get ready now."
"Before you go, I have something for you." He answered. Bringing out a box. "It's a heirloom, it was going to be your Mothers after your Grandmothers passing, but she died before her." He handed me the box.
I opened it, in it was a simple hairnet, made from gold. The places were the gold wire cross was little intricate fire lilies made from rubies.
I remember seeing Grandmomma where this. I knew I would never get it, it goes to the first born daughter, it would have gone to Ren. Ren. Momma. I miss you so.
"Thank you, I choked out. Taking it with me upstairs.
I placed my bags down on my bed.
I took a nice long shower, dried my hair and dressed myself. I put on the top and the leggings, tight like I like, it showed off my figure and would be comfortable when running. I then took out the spider butterfly clothe. It would make a fine wrap jacket.
I was quick to make it into such, in the same design as my old ones it was easier to make.
I left a piece for the head wraps.
It was simple, a flowing sleeveless loose wrap like jacket I usually use a piece if clothe to tire it, so doesn't hang as much. I have the corset andi put it on. The way it was cut , it isn't straight across but had a tip to it, to a line with my beasts. It looked nicer I put the position the wrap to make a V, the tip of the V touches the tip of the corset.
I took out the hairnet, I looked at it. I braided my hair loosely and captured it in the hairnet, I used the pins to keep it up, it did got not go up all the way to my forehead, it was an inche away, my slightly uneven bangs hanged in my face still.
I placed the wraps over my head, and the loose ends were crossed and swigged over my back.
I got the boots on and left,
"You look beautiful like your Mother." Uncle said as I left. I turned, halfway out the door. .
"Thank you."
I left for the arena.
I wanted to give you the feel of her clothes.
The end of this wonderful chapter! I'm so glad people like it and I can't wait to see how everything goes for her.
