"So here we are!" Bolin explained as they arrived in front of Narook's. Eska was not in the least impressed, but going through Korra's 'training' made her realize how spoiled of a princess she was so, she tried not to show disappointment on her face. She thought back to when Korra told her, "Bolin's bad at reading people.". She hoped they at least had good food.

They ate, and surprisingly Eska loved it more than the food in the north.

"Before you go home- wait! I forgot you need a place to stay!" exclaimed Bolin. Eska hadn't thought about it. She was preoccupied. "Mako and I have an extra room in our apartment. You can stay with us. I'm sure he wouldn't mind."

"Okay, you were saying 'Before you go home'... " said Eska.

"Oh, yeah! We can go look at the sunset across YueBay. I guess that's kind of our thing now."

"That sounds wonderful," replied Eska. She liked the idea that they had a thing.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" Eska nodded her head while it was resting on Bolin's shoulder. "Just like you." Normally, Eska would have not liked a cheesy line such as that, but coming from Bolin, she knew he actually meant it. Therefore she took it as a huge compliment. She blushed at his comment.

She looked up at him and made a small smile just so he could see. He flashed his teeth, mostly proud that he could make her smile. He wondered if people knew how hard it was. He had to discover what she liked. He still hadn't. It's only been a little longer than a month that he met her. He began to think he was on the right track, though.

Eska looked over YueBay. She gasped. Oh, no. Not now. No. Not ever. This cannot be happening. NO. What Eska saw was a big wave coming toward them. Any onlooker would have assumed it was weather. Eska knew better. She knew only one thing could make a wave like that. And that thing was her twin. The twin who was probably sent after her.

"Bolin, Bolin," she said tugging his arm. "We have to go. Now."

"What?"

"NOW. We have to go."

"Wait, why?" The wave was becoming closer each second.

"I'll explain later. We just...have to go." She knew her cousin. And she knew that if Korra was truthful about how she described Mako's personality to her, then the two of them would be fine. She knew Korra could take Desna. But the thing was: She couldn't tell if he was after her or Korra. She couldn't think right now, but she would never literally battle her brother because it could end in, well, death. She just wanted to be away so Desna couldn't find her.

"Do you know some place where you can bend a tunnel or something? And away from the city?" asked Eska frantically.

Bolin was still confused. He had no idea what was going on. "Um, yeah. There's that mountain range over there," Eska looked to where his finger was pointing, "that I used to practice making small tunnels. I could never do anything that large though..."

"That's okay. We just need to be hidden."

"Okay, then let's go." His countenance only showed confusion.

She looked over at the mountains again. "It'll take us forever to get there...Bolin, I need you to jump in the bay."

"What?"

"Jump it the bay! I'm going to water bend us to the mountains."

Despite his confusion, he jumped in. Only because he trusted her. Not because he feared her, like before. She did a water vortex carrying the two of them to the top of the mountain. Eska once again looked at YueBay. The wave had arrived, and she had no way to know where Desna is.

"Okay. Do it now. Do the tunnel."

Bolin closed his eyes and concentrated on feeling the earth. A couple seconds later, a tunnel appeared. A large one at that. He really is an amazing bender, Eska thought. She remembered that she needed to hide. They both ran into the cave. Eska looked at the walls of the tunnel. They looked like greenish crystals. She had to take a chance she needed to be hidden as much as possible.

"Bolin, my turtle-duck, can you close the tunnel?" Eska asked. The pet name she called him surprised both of them. Though Bolin was doubtful, he closed it because Eska's emotion was very evident. She was way past worried, and he didn't want to see her suffer any more.

The crystals glowed green just as Eska had hoped. She knew what it meant. Green crystals that glowed in the Dark. She was told about stories of Avatar Aang when she was young. The one her mother would tell her the most was the one where Avatar Aang was in the Cave of Two Lovers with Master Katara. It was her favorite. She definitely knew why the crystals glowed and once again she smiled very small, but to her it was the biggest smile she'd ever smiled. She had no idea if Bolin knew that story...

Little did she know that this story was one of the only things he remembers from when his parents were alive. He knew why they were glowing as well.

Bolin broke both of them from thought. "So...are you going to tell me what is going on?"

"I am unsure if you saw the big wave in YueBay. In any case, it was my brother, Desna. I believe he was after either Korra or me. If he is after Korra, I have no doubt my cousin can handle him with out majorly injuring him. Also, being apart from a twin is hard. He will want to talk to me at least; try to get me to return with him. If he is after me, then bad things happen." She looked away because she teared up. She just wanted her brother to be safe and realize her father was wrong. That was impossible though. Her brother was too close and would ever betray her father. "I just need to be away when he comes. You can go, but I would love for you to stay with me. It won't be long. His fights end quickly, and he doesn't stay in one place for a long time. Three days tops."

He waked closer and saw she was close to crying. He gave her one a big bear hug. "Of course, I'll stay with you, my koala-otter. The crystals give me enough reason to, don't they?" He smirked.

She returned the hug. When she released him, he brought her right back in and kissed her on the lips for the first time since the boat. She was relieved and melted into the kiss. So he does know why. We let love lead the way...

AN: So what did you think? It was really long, but I did it so you guys can be happy. I hope you really liked it! Don't forget to keep reviewing and sending me your opinions on it!
