Hello, I'm the Lady of Gaia and it seems that the last chapter was very interesting.
Last time, Mako went on his date with Asami as Korra took a turn for the worst. But love can always take a turn for the worst when we think is life is at its best, will it grow and thrive from the experience or will it wither and die.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
So enjoy and please review what you like about it.
Chapter 7
Korra stood in total darkness.
She didn't know how she had got there or why for that matter but she had a horrible feeling that something wasn't right. Korra began to walk around, looking for a way out of the darkness. She walked and walked and walked until she saw white fire in the distance.
Korra ran to it, not knowing why but felt it was Mako that was creating the white fire. Tears filled her eyes at thought that she would see him again; she saw that she was right that it was Mako. The tears spilled over, running down her face as she screamed his name, he didn't notice her at all but she noticed the equalists that he was fighting off. She moved to his side to fight with him when she noticed the buildings around them, she looked at Mako to see that was he in a mindless rage with something else lying deep in his eyes, hiding from her and the world.
Korra turned to look turn him to see herself, lying on the ground as her blood pooled out of her and onto the dirty ground that she lied on. She looked back at Mako to see that everything was gone again...and that she was in total darkness.
She started walking again, the horrible feeling began to twist and turn inside her stomach. She wanted to scream at the darkness and return home but she didn't; she just kept on walking. Letting her feet taken her to where they wanted her to go as the horrible feeling began to could a deep pain in her body.
Oh spirits, did she want Mako beside her that moment.
Korra was about to start to cry when she noticed something in the distance, she walked towards it. She saw it was a building with her pictures on it; she debated with herself if she should go in or not when she saw Mako walking into the building. She followed him in but the moment she stepped through the door, her clothes changed into a dress.
"Alright, what is going on here?" She snapped angrily at the crowd of people in front of her. They didn't even notice her; she walked through the crowd until she saw Mako was with another girl. They walked to her as another man appeared behind her from nowhere, Korra turned to look at him.
"So glad you could make it, Avatar Korra. If you'll excuse us, the city awaits its hero." He said in a merry voice as he pushed her towards people. Korra tried to resist but the man was too strong for her...a first in its self. The man introduced her to Hiroshi Sato when Mako appeared with Bolin and the girl; the horrible feeling almost had her doubled over from the pain. But alone tear escaped her and ran down her cheek, the scenery changed again to darkness and she weep.
She sat there and cried for a time, Korra hurt in so many ways that she didn't want to move ever again. She wanted to stay in the darkness for good.
"Korra!" A voice shouted out to her but she ignored it.
oOo
Mako felt her pulse get weaker and weaker, he saw the tears spilling down her cheeks. He wondered what she was dreaming, but he knew that would ever it was it was hurting Korra in ways that he couldn't think of.
"Korra!" he shouted at her, wanting her to wake up, to hold her in his arms, to hear what happened in her dream. But she didn't wake up, he glared at her sleeping face. He grabbed her and started shaking her.
"Wake up Korra, you can't die! You heard me; you can't die because if you do, I'll never forgive you! So wake up!" Mako shouted into her face as he continued to shake her until Pema stopped him. She could see how the sight of Korra was hurting him but she wouldn't have him removed...it was crystal clear that he needed to be at Korra's side.
Mako stared at Korra's face for a moment before he begged.
"Please Korra wake up...I need you." When he suddenly collapsed, feeling as if he was sinking into darkness.
oOo
Korra's tears continued to fall until she saw a flower grow where her tears were falling. The flower was beautiful shade of blue, glowing brighter and brighter as she stared at it. Her tears dried up as she reached out for it and picked. The darkness exploded into a world of bright colours, hope swelled her heart as the horrible feeling inside her slowly disappeared.
"He is waiting for you, Korra...will you go to him?" a gentle female voice asked her. She dropped the flower, knowing it was talking about Mako; tears began to fell her eyes again as the darkness slowly started to return. Despair replaced the horrible feeling inside her.
She was unaware that she was being watched until she felt two strong arms wrap around her like a warm blanket, filling her with hope. Korra pressed her head in a shoulder and let her tears fall until she heard Mako's voice asked.
"You are breaking your promise...do I need to kick your ass to make you stop?" Korra pushed him away and glared at him, her eyes looked beautiful to him with the defiance and angry look in them and on her face.
"You can try but we both know that I'll be the one to kick your ass." She growled at him when Mako suddenly grabbed her arms and looked into her eyes. They both for a moment got lost in the other's eyes, both wanting to say what they felt inside but they didn't know what to call what they were feeling even if there was a name for it.
Finally Mako looked away and picked up the flower.
"Please come back to us, Korra. We need you," he disappeared and the flower fell to the ground. Korra stared at the flower for a moment before picking it up. It was beautiful and for some odd reason, she knew there were more waiting for her to wake up and look at them.
"Take me home, please." She whispered before she disappeared. The flower fell again but this time into warm and gentle hands of Yue who had been watching Korra in the spirit world. She was happy that she had let Mako slip into the spirit world as well; she disappeared with the flower in hand to return to her lover, la who was probably worried about her.
oOo
Korra opened her eyes as she felt the pain rage through her veins, she wanted to scream and would have if she had noticed Mako was beside her, looking at her. She kept silent as he gently wiped the sweat from her face; his face was grim until he saw she was awake. He couldn't remember the last time; he had felt so relieved, he was sure that he would start crying from it. He thanked the spirits for letting him see the beauty that was her eyes again.
"How do you feel?" He asked her but she didn't answer, she simply stared at him for a moment.
"Am I really back?" she whispered, the fear was clear in her tired voice. Mako smiled at her and held her hand as tears came to his eyes, he couldn't find his voice at that moment so he simply nodded as he realized he was too happy and relieved to speak. Pema silently left the room, letting them have time to themselves.
"Promise that you would do that again." Mako whispered to Korra as he gently rubbed her hand. Korra nodded to him before she noticed the flowers beside her bed. They were the same flowers that she had seen in her dream; she reached out and touched one, wondering who left them there.
It glowed brightly as it changed its colour to a beautiful shade of red before returning to blue, and she knew who had given her the flowers. Korra sat up in the bed, feeling stronger and healthier than ever before, she leaded over to Mako and kissed his forehead. In that moment, everything in the world seemed to fall into silence as they stayed like that. Both of them wanting more but also wanting to stay like that forever.
After the moment passed, Korra pulled away and touched her forehead to his.
"Thank you for the flowers and thank you for bring me back." She has whispered it so low, Mako had almost missed it but he hadn't. He wrapped his arms around her like in the dream and whispered into her ear.
"Anytime."
