A High School Nightmare
Chapter 4:
~ Mako's Pov ~
What happened yesterday was interesting, my best friend is a super weapon. I just finish football practice. That's right I'm on the football team, I'm actually the Quarterback. I drove home since Bo was already there, went through my regular schedule. Do my homework, check my Facebook page and Instagram, text Asami and some other 'friends'. Watched TV until I was bored and went to bed, but this time was different. I woke up to an acrid smell, I looked at the clock, it was 2 in the morning. I got up grabbed my phone and opened my bedroom door and went down the stairs, and Bolin soon followed. Than our little sister Marina came down. "What's going on?" she asked. We saw flames quickly spreading through the kitchen and living room. I quickly grabbed their hands and we dodge our way through the flames to the back door. Good thing our parents had a serious job offer, so they won't be back 'til next year in March. We made it out, only a few scratches and bruises. Then my cell started ringing, it was Asami I answered it.
"Hello,"
"Mako, my ... my house" she sobbed out.
"Asami, calm down what happened?"
"My house ... it's … it's gone. It's burning to the ground."
"Wait what!? So we both don't have a place to go."
"What do you mean?"
"My house it's was put on fire we barely got out."
"Where are we going to go now, this is my only house in Republic city and my Dad is on a vacation for two months."
"I don't know." I replied.

I woke up at 3 in the morning to my phone ring. I picked it up and answered, "Hello" I said groggily.
"Hey Kor, sorry to wake you up so early, but we need a favor." Mako said. The conversation was long, discussing every little bug so Tenzin couldn't say 'no'. Finally when we were done it was about five-thirty. I hung up the phone, and quickly fell asleep again.
I awoke to a knock at my door. I opened it to reveal Pema, who told me breakfast was ready. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to tell Tenzin the 'news'. Soon when we were almost finished I started, "Um, Tenzin"
"Yes, Korra"
"Can my friends maybe come live here with us?" I mumbled, but Tenzin heard.
"What, why?" He asked shocked.
"Well, you see their houses kind of burned down last night," I answered.
Tenzin sighed, "Of course,"
"Thank," and right before I was about to leave I said, "Oh, and they also know Hailey and I have powers."
"Wait, what? Korra!" I snickered a little at his reaction to the second part before I got ready and went to training.
Afterwards, I called the guys, "Hello?" I heard Asami say,
"Guess what?"
"What?" she asked bored and uninterested.
"Tenzin said you guys could stay at the island with me."
"EEEEEEEWWWWWWW" I heard Asami squeal so loud, I had to put the phone away from my ear.
Later the guys came over and settled into their new rooms, this was going to be great I could already tell.

"So did you do what I asked?" a voice said
"Yes, Tarrlok, they are currently living under one roof now. So they are easier to attack and easier to break." Said the other man.
"Good, you're dismissed Amon," Tarrlok replied. This is going to be easier than I thought, Tarrlok thought. As the door swung shut.
So hope you enjoyed the chapter. Also I DO NOT own Legend of Korra, please review. And have a great day. Bye.
