Chapter 10
"You're going to tell us what you did to Bolin. Everything. Tell us why he's so messed up like this!" Mako growled at Amon, who only snickered.
"Of course I'll tell you what I've done. After all, you deserve it." Amon smiled slyly.
"And you better tell the truth!" Korra snapped, glaring ice cold daggers at him.
"Why wouldn't I?" Amon asked innocently, blinking a few times.
"Because you're a filthy, horrible, shitty son-of-a-bitch!" Mako roared, taking a step forward towards Amon, but Tenzin put a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't. He may be a prisoner but the law states that we can't hurt or torture them in any way."
"He's probably done exactly that to Bolin!" Mako cried.
"And he'll be punished for it. You're lucky Chief Bei-Fong even let you interrogate him yourselves, but you have to follow the rules to be in here, okay?"
Mako looked away, crossing his arms. "Fine."
"Good." Tenzin nodded. He turned to Amon, who was looking cocky. "Now Noatak, do you want to answer our questions for us?"
"Depends if I want to." Amon sneered. "Well? Go on, ask me!"
The three of them looked at each other, seeing which one of them wanted to o first. Mako boldly stepped forward, facing Amon angrily. "Bolin mentioned that you imprisoned him, is that true?" Mako asked.
"Yes it is." Amon answered sweetly. Mako never felt the urge to kill ever since his parents died right in front of him. He wanted to kill the murderer of his parents so badly, like how he just wanted to kill this bastard so badly...
"Why would you imprison him?" Tenzin asked.
"To get him on my side. To manipulate him. To show him how worthless he is and how he isn't needed."
"You fucking monster!" Korra hissed.
Amon continued to gloat. "You want to know the full extent of what I've done? I'll tell you. I locked him in a large metal room all by himself, mentally torturing him by refusing him human contact. He's been all alone, isolated, for an entire month. You should've seen the way he cried himself to sleep, how he begged for someone, anyone to save him. He called out each of your names, he pleaded with me to free him, and he sobbed and wept and threatened me. He slowly went insane, and I basically didn't do anything. I fed him while he was sleeping but that was it really, he went insane on his own. Well, actually," Amon tipped his head to the side and blinked some more, faking a look of deep thought, "I did write some stuff down on the walls, some harsh truths here and there. That's all, I guess."
Korra was trembling while Amon made his terrifying confession, her fists glowing a warm orange. Tenzin nudged her backwards, watching her every move carefully. He glanced at Mako, whose face was pure red from fury.
"What 'harsh truths'? What the hell did you do?!" Mako demanded, his fists shaking as he spoke.
"Hmmm, let's see..." Amon looked up at the ceiling, "Oh, I suppose stuff like, 'Everyone has abandoned you,' no one ever truly loved you', you're a worthless little shit,' 'you can't even Metal-Bend dumbass!', 'you're a fucking disgrace', 'you're Mako's bitch', 'Korra used you to get to Mako, and it worked!'... Etcetera, etcetera. You know, stuff like that." Amon shrugged. "And you know," He added, "It's all true, or at least, most of it is."
"How dare you." Mako snarled quietly, "How dare you call my brother a brat, my bitch, a dumbass, a disgrace! How could you fucking say that to him?!" Mako yelled, stepping forward and grabbing Amon by the shirt collar. Amon only grinned smugly.
"Mako, release him!" Tenzin ordered. "You can't do that to him, let him go at once!"
Mako's amber eyes smoldered, but he slowly loosened his grip on the Blood-Bender. Amon smiled.
"It is true though." Amon said softly, like velvet. "How he was abandoned by everyone."
"We never abandoned him!" Korra cried, "We were searching for months for him! We never gave up!"
"Well, you're all so stupid!" Amon hissed. "How did you not realize we were under your noses the entire time? We were simply under the cabin, Avatar! Are you not that bright? How could you not even check there, of all places? Besides," Amon continued, "That's not the only harsh truth, is it Avatar? You did use Bolin to get to Mako, didn't you?"
Korra paled. "No... Well yes, but it was a mistake, I didn't mean to hurt Bolin!"
"Well you did, and it was enough to make him go insane. If anything, it's your fault for his instability, you hot-headed bitch."
Korra just stared at Amon, her eyes clouded. She bit her lip and looked away. Tenzin gave her a comforting hug. Mako took a good long look at Korra then focused back on Amon with a vicious glare. "You're an asshole, how could you say that to her? How could you let Bolin think that?"
Amon cackled as if Mako had made some sort of hilarious joke. "How could I let him think that? Boy, are you stupid? He thought of that all on his own! When I questioned his insecurities, the look on his face explained it all! He thought of that the moment he saw you two kissing."
"Oh spirits..." Korra breathed, burying her face in Tenzin's shoulder, "Then it's my fault, isn't it? This is why Bolin's like this?"
"No, Korra, don't be like that." Mako said gently, joining Tenzin and Korra's hug. "It wasn't your fault."
"You're right." Amon said, "It isn't just her fault, there are so much people to blame! We can blame the practically everyone! Tenzin and Bei-Fong for calling off the search, that worthless polar bear dog for unable to scent us in the most obvious spot, that Air-Bending family, Asami Sato, Tahno,-"
"And you, for causing all this in the first place." Tenzin added coldly.
Amon laughed, "Yes, I suppose you're right." Amon paused, "But I have to thank you all, for being as stupid as you were, it gave me so much time to mold Bolin into the perfect apprentice."
"You told us you were going to kill him!" Mako cried in rage.
"And I was. I would have disposed of him when he either wasn't needed anymore or when he was getting too out of hand." Amon said, "Sadly, he broke apart earlier than expected, which of course, ruined my plan and ended with me being stabbed and imprisoned. Oh, how things don't work out!" He cried mockingly, hanging his head.
Mako scowled, his heart pounding. He had one more question to ask the bastard. And this was the question that honestly scared him the most. He took a deep breath and clamed himself before asking his question.
"Amon... Did you rape my brother?"
Amon's eyes widened slightly, his head slowly rising to meet Mako's eyes, which were burning with anger.
"Do you really want to know the answer to that, young Fire-Bender?" Amon asked roughly.
"Yes." Mako breathed, his heart doubling its current pace.
Amon snickered. Mako's head shot up, his face turning red again.
"Why the hell are you laughing? This is fucking serious, you sick piece of crap!" Mako yelled.
"Hehehe..." Amon laughed, "You want to know so badly? Well here's you answer." He paused dramatically, intentionally, letting the tension raise in the air.
"I didn't rape him." Amon said. Mako felt relief swallow him fully. Tenzin raised a confused eyebrow and Korra sighed in relief. So when Bolin mentioned sex, he must've meant something different, after all he is-
"I fucked him."
A small gasp emanated from Korra, whose eyes started to shine with tears. Tenzin's jaw had dropped, his face beet red. Mako slowly turned and stared into Amon's cold ice-hard eyes.
"I fucked him." Amon repeated, looking deep into Mako's flaming eyes, smirking so widely as he continued his speech. "We fucked, and he enjoyed it. He enjoyed every moment. Your brother was a horny little slut, he loved it when I thrust into his ass, when I licked him and blowed him. After all, I drugged him so he felt horny, so whenever I wanted to get laid, he'd be in the mood. He was my toy, my bitch, my whore. And might I say, he was so delighting, so delicious, he was so satisfying... You should've seen it Mako, I actually took some photos, and maybe I'll show them to you later on, would that make you feel better?"
Mako glared at him, quivering under the weight of rage. Instantly, he was at Amon's shirt collar, pulling him as high as the chains that bound him allowed, and raised a fist that was engulfed in flames just mere inches away from the Water-Bender's face.
"YOU SICK, MOTHER-FUCKING LITTLE BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU?! I WILL TEAR YOU APART YOU STUPID SON-OF-A-BITCH!" Mako screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Then go on, do it." Amon taunted. "Like that will make anything any better."
Mako's eyes began to water and he soon felt the streams of salty water descend down his cheeks. He felt so much in that moment, every emotion blended up together, rage, regret, sorrow, horror, frustration, pain. His fiery fist began to rocket towards Amon's cheek, ready to burn his face off.
"Stop!" Korra and Tenzin screamed in unison, grabbing Mako and holding him back so he wouldn't be able to even touch Amon. Mako screamed again and struggled against both of them, but they both held on tight, refusing to let go.
"He's a fucking demon! We've got to end him!" Mako roared, swinging his fists towards the evil bastard. Korra put a cool hand on his cheek and tilted his head towards hers.
"Mako, Mako listen to me!" Korra said sternly, "We can't hurt him. Believe me when I say I want to kill this horrible fucker, but we can't, we can't kill, we're better than that, okay? We won't stoop to his level."
Mako panted, staring into Korra's clear eyes. Slowly, he felt the flames of anger slowly be contained by Korra's cool watery eyes. Mako inhaled, and felt the stiffness in his muscles dissipate. He shook the tears away from his face, gaining a steady breathing pattern. Tenzin and Korra hesitantly released him, and Mako shook himself, trying to relax. But how could he? That fucking Amon, that ugly-ass stupid fucker! How could he just say that with such contempt and venom? A cold-hearted man! I'll kill him!
"Noatak, thank you for clearing up these issues, we'll be on our way now." Tenzin said in a polite voice, but his voice was strained, and his eyes were narrowed in disgust.
"No problem. I hoped I was able to provide you with useful answers." Another poisonous smile. All three of them glared and stormed out of the room, leaving the Water-Bender alone in the cold dark room deep underground.
Bolin approached The Lieutenant, who was now on his feet with his fists up, ready to fight him. Bolin just laughed.
"What? You're going to fight me? Right after I freed you? Have you no sense of gratitude?" Bolin inquired.
"Why the hell are you here?" The Lieutenant spat, his fists tightening. "What's with the blood splattered clothes? The scar on your cheek? The riot going on outside? Answer me!"
Bolin paused, wondering how he should say the following sentences. He decided being blunt would be best. But then again, he could just be like Asami and not harbour any ill feelings...
"Do you hate Amon?" Bolin asked.
The Lieutenant's eyes widened a little, surprised by Bolin's sudden question. "Yes." The Lieutenant said after a moment, "I gave him my loyalty, but he was actually to me, lying to all of us! He tried to kill me! I can't forgive a man like that." The Lieutenant's eyes darkened. "And why do you care? And why are you here?"
"I want revenge." Bolin whispered in a small voice.
"Revenge?" The Lieutenant repeated, looking a little bewildered, "What, against Amon?"
"Not just him, everyone who has betrayed me." Bolin explained. "My brother, The Avatar, Amon, they all hurt me, just like you. If you join me, I'd be invincible! I'd be able to bring Republic City to its knees!"
The Lieutenant stepped back, eyeing Bolin cautiously. "You're different." He said. "You're not the same since I last saw you. You're different."
Bolin scowled. "So you won't help me? You do want the opportunity for revenge against Amon? Against Republic City?"
"Now hold on kid-"
"You just told me a moment ago that you hated Amon, and know that I give you the opportunity for revenge, you reject me?"
"Why do you want revenge kid?" The Lieutenant asked. "I mean, you seemed like a pretty nice kid. I don't get why you would go out of your way to beat him up yourself."
If I use the pity card on him, it'll make it more likely that he'll join my side just out of pity and revenge.
"You want to know why I'm doing this?" Bolin asked, letting a tremble in his voice, sounding more pitiful. "Amon, that bastard, kidnapped me. Right after he disappeared with his brother. He kidnapped me and tortured me. Of course I wouldn't be the same after that. He's done so many horrible things to me..."
"Amon isn't that bad." The Lieutenant said, but he seemed uncertain of that and shifted uncomfortably.
Bolin shook his head. "It's true. Come on already, just join me." Boling said again, extending his hand towards him.
"Is all this just for your revenge?" The Lieutenant said slowly. "You break into Republic City's most guarded prison to free the right-hand man of Amon. Kid, you know how risky that is? And how did you manage to get past here? And bend that metal? It's pure metal. "
Bolin began to feel irritated by this guy's stubbornness and questions. The pity card wasn't really Bolin's thing, he wanted to implant fear in this man's brain, not weak feelings like pity. A strong, powerful emotion of pure terror, that was more suitable. Bolin licked his lips, feeling a rush of anticipation.
"There's blood on my hands." Bolin said in a low voice.
The Lieutenant stared at his hands then his clothes, his eyes narrowed in disbelief. "I've noticed, but nice try kid, you're faking it. You seem like the kind of guy that'd get squeamish over a little blood."
"I killed. I killed all those guards out there. I killed two prisoners. I can kill you too."
"You're not a killer." The Lieutenant sneered, "You're just a scared little boy. I don't know why you're actually doing this, but just let it go, I have to serve my time here, so why don't you-"
Bolin grabbed The Lieutenant by the shirt and slammed him into the wall, his patience wearing thin. The Lieutenant's eyes widened.
"Fuck you." Bolin leaned close so his quiet voice buzzed into his ear. "Do you really need proof? Then I'll show you." Bolin threw him onto the ground and walked towards the doorway of the cell. "Hey Jin! Get over here now!"
The tall brunette scampered towards Bolin, his back hunched and his entire body trembling. This was the man who told Bolin where The Lieutenan's cell was. Bolin knew this guy was going to be useful. "Y-Yes sir?" Jin asked in a tiny voice. The Lieutenant stared in utter confusion and disbelief.
"Why are you so scared of-?"
Bolin had treasured the piece of glass he used to stab Amon. So why wouldn't he use it again? Pulling it swiftly out of his pocket, Bolin took a grand step forward and smiled into Jin's face. Jin responded with pure fright, his feet turning and his body twisting in the opposite direction, but he was too slow. Bolin jabbed the glass repeatedly in his chest. He could feel each breath and gasp in his body weaken as he continued to thrust repeatedly into the Jin's weak skin. Jin was desperately trying to fight Bolin, his fists landing onto Bolin's shoulders, but the old man was weak.
"Stop it!" The Lieutenant cried, jumping into the air with his feet ready to kick at Bolin. Bolin grabbed Jin and twirled around, using Jin as a human shield to block out The Lieutenant's attack. As The Lieutenant's foot made contact with Jin's ribcage, Jin gurgled, coughing up blood.
"Fucking disgusting." Bolin muttered and threw Jin's body away, letting it plop onto the floor. The Lieutenant was now just staring at Bolin, his mouth a wide zero.
"You thought I couldn't kill." Bolin laughed. "You're a fucking dumbass. I come in here asking nicely for your co-operation, and you just had to piss me off. His blood's on your hands. You drove me to do it. It's your entire fault."
The Lieutenant backed away from Bolin, shaking his head, "No...You did that... You're a murderer."
"I've done what I had to. This is all part of my revenge." Bolin scoffed. He reached into his deep pocket and pulled out two kali sticks. The Lieutenant's favorite weapon. He threw it onto the floor, right next to him. The former Equalist's just gawked at them, his gaze switching from those to Bolin. "Join me, or fight me. And die." Bolin said.
The Lieutenant looked away. A flicker of fear was in his eyes. Bolin grinned, his fear quite amusing for Bolin.
"Is revenge worth it? All this death? Didn't we have enough of that? What did Amon do to you exactly?" The Lieutenant asked, searching Bolin's face for some sort of answer.
So much fucking questions! I swear... Damn it, I should just answer the questions now, just so he stops talking.
"He raped me." Bolin growled, "He locked me up in a room for a month all by myself! He created voices that fucked with me and wouldn't shut up! He manipulated me! He fed me lies and false love! He told me I was loved but I was actually alone! I was alone! I am alone! I have fucking no one! E-Everyone hates me! My own b-brother gave me this scar!" He pointed at his cheek in a fit of rage. His voice was staring to change from an enraged rant to a pitiful one. "T-The girl that I once loved used me to g-get to my brother! I was surrounded by selfish spoiled brats who had a better life then me! Everyone... Everyone j-just hates me... No one loves me... I... I...I..." Bolin was shaking now, sniffing a bit as tears threatened to leak from his eyes. What's happening to me? I feel so empty... My heart's aching as hard as it was back in that bloody room... I feel sick, I feel horrible...My head feels Why?
"Um... kid, hey... you... you okay?" The Lieutenant cautiously approached Bolin and was standing next to him, not sure what to do.
Bolin shook his head, walking backwards. His vision was beginning to look watery, blurry. This better not be tears!
His head felt a little fuzzy as he heard a faint voice from the back of his head.
"Bolin... stop this. Now. Please."
That wasn't The Lieutenant's voice, it was someone else, a faint mewl in the back of Bolin's mind. Bolin growled, feeling irritated. "I fucking told you voices, Yin and Yang, shut up! Shut the hell up!"
"I'm not a voice Bolin."
Bolin froze, and then shuddered as his mind worked its gears. No... It can't be... But that voice! It sounded just like...
Bolin slowly turned around. A woman was standing in the doorway. She had long flowing dark brown hair, bright green eyes, and a dazzling emerald dress. She was barely a solid substance, more like liquid, her figure so pale she was just a wisp of a shadow. There was a subtle white glow behind her, like a dim spotlight. She wore a sad expression her face as she just gave Bolin a look of pity. Bolin staggered backwards, shock enveloping his mind quickly.
"M-Mom?" Bolin's voice shook with surprise.
"Oh Bolin..." His mom murmured, "I miss you. The old you. Stop this, please." Her mouth was twisted up into a frown and her voice was silky and smooth. Amon's voice was silky and smooth too...
"You hated me. You called me a worthless brat. You never loved me!" Bolin's yelled, standing taller and glaring. "Leave me alone!"
"I love you so much Bolin." She sounded as if she were on the verge of crying. "I hate seeing you like this. I love you Bolin, you're loved, but not just by me, Mako, Korra, Asami, they all truly care for you-"
"SHUT UP! NO ONE GIVES A CRAP ABOUT ME! THEY ALL HATE ME! YOU HATE ME! YOU SAID SO YOURSELF! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU ALL!" Bolin screeched, grasping tightly the glass shard in his hand and lunging forward. His mother leapt high into the air, landing onto her feet just behind Bolin. Bolin turned around, snarling. "You fucking bitch!"
At that moment, The Lieutenant, with his kali sticks in both of his hand, came from behind and shocked the woman. She wailed, her body vibrating with electricity. Bolin stiffened, the voice, his mother's voice, it changed, it was different, yet it was familiar...
The woman collapsed onto the floor, groaning. The Lieutenant jabbed at her neck and shoulders, making her incapable of bending.
Bolin's head still felt woozy, he put a hand on his temple and moaned. Blinking a few times, Bolin stumbled forward. He crouched down and grabbed the woman's face by her cheeks and pulled it towards him. This woman's eyes were green but they weren't as clear as his mother's it was muddy, dirty. It was horrible. Bolin snorted, pulling at Bei-Fong's gray hair harder. The woman glared at Bolin. She was moving to slide a fist towards him but Bolin cut her off, grabbing her wrists and pounding them to the ground. The Lieutenant pointed a kali stick near her face.
"So, you're on my side now, are you?" Bolin asked in a sweet voice, staring at The Lieutenant.
He just shrugged. "Kid, I'm only joining you to get back at Amon." He said, but his voice was frail with a tiny hint of fear. Bolin smirked and looked back at Bei-Fong. So... my mother... it was just a hallucination, was it? It wasn't really her, it was just this old hag...
Bolin sensed a battle going on. There were more Metal-Benders and police officers now, fighting off Bolin's new army. It felt as if it was equal match, but that could change at any given moment. Plus ere were more of them stampeding in their direction. They had to be quick. Or I could just kill them all right now... No, I got to focus on her. Those prisonners can keep them occupied, after all, there's more of them. They're outnumbered right now. Still... I have to be as quick as possible...
"Keep her down." Bolin instructed.
"Bolin... You are not healthy, you have a condition caused by the trauma Amon has caused. Stop this nonsense now and come with me back-"
"SHUT UP!" Bolin screamed. He took a breath, trying to contain his voice. "You are a bitch. You had the whole police force at your command, but even you couldn't track me down. Are your forces that incompetent?"
"Bolin let me go." Bei-Fong said in a rough voice.
"Fine, avoid my question!" Bolin hissed. "You know what? I always thought you were just some stuck-up skank pissed off at The Avatar and her friends because we were young and stupid, and that we were implicated with Tenzin, the man that broke your heart. You are a fucking disgrace. How are the chief of police? How are you even related to Toph?"
Bei-Fong flinched, not expecting those words to escape Bolin's lips. The Lieutenant nudged Bolin. "Hey, maybe that's taking it too far." He said.
"It. Is. Not." Bolin emphasised each word. "Do you want me to take it far? I'll show you 'taking it too far!'"
He stomped around Bei-Fong, who was still on the ground, her body weak from The Lieutenant's electric shock and being chi-blocked, plus being unable to move due to the sparking kali stick in her face. He stopped in front of Bei-Fong's feet, smiling.
"Hey guys, I've learned a lot about Earth-Bending." The Lieutenant and Bei-Fong raised an eyebrow, exchanging a confused look. "For example," Bolin continued, "I've learnt how to bend metal, even with the smallest impurities. In fact, I can bend pure metal now! I've become even great then your mother!" Bolin grinned cheekily at Lin, who just turned her head pointedly, not meeting Bolin's crazed eyes.
"But, if there's one thing I know for sure, that everyone knows for sure, is that Earth-Bending is a tough element. You need to have a strong connection with the earth. You need to feel it, to know the way it bends and moves, you know what I mean?" Bolin looked back at his audience.
"What are you getting at?" Bei-Fong snapped, trying to get up, but the Lieutenant's electric stick was just inches away from shocking her. She glared at him.
"Impatient are we?" Bolin laughed. "As much as I would enjoy watching you get your bending get taken away, it won't be much fun if Korra can restore it. Instead, why don't I find a much more permanent solution?" He tore off one of the thick metal poles that made the cell. He grunted, bended the end of it, making it large and rectangular. He kept the other end a pole. When he was done, Bolin swung it around in the air, testing it out. The Lieutenant and Bei-Fong paled at the sight.
"What are you doing?" The Lieutenant asked carefully.
Bolin chose not to answer. He slowly strutted towards Bei-Fong at stood at the end of her feet. Bei-Fong gave him a look of anger mixed with horror.
"Bolin, stop this now." She still had firmness in her voice. Huh, brave little lady. Can't wait to break her down.
"An Earth-Bender needs to feel the ground, they need contact with it to use it to the fullest. There are only a few Earth-Benders who can actually bend the earth without their feet touching the ground. Their feet, you see, is their connection to the earth itself."
"Bolin... You aren't actually considering..." The Lieutenant gasped.
"Let's test a theory." Bolin said, swinging his new hammer around. "Can Lin Bei-Fong, a strong, powerful Earth-Bender, bend without her feet? Can you be an Earth-Bender without feeling the earth anymore with your feet? Let's try this out, shall we?"
Bei-Fong swiftly moved, elbowing The Lieutenant in the gut. He gasped, but just stared, not moving. He looked at Bolin with wide eyes. Bolin growled. "I freed you for a reason. I spared you for a reason!"
Nodding, The Lieutenant blocked Lin's exit. She scowled. Although she was weakened, she was still a dangerous opponent. Could The Lieutenant really beat her? Bolin sighed; he supposed he had to help.
Bei-Fong took a stance, switching looks between The Lieutenant and Bolin. "I'm really sorry Bolin, but you're too delusional. I have to take you out."
Bolin tapped his foot a few times. He could sense that there were more prisoners then guards, still fighting. Hmm... I have an idea.
Bolin stomped his foot down. Bei-Fong flinched, but wore the look of surprise when nothing bended her way. Bolin smirked and pointed behind her. She turned.
Four prisoners, strong and well-built prisoners, were launched towards them. The Lieutenant took a step back as they landed clumsily at the entrance of the cell. They got up and stared at the three of them, specifically Bolin. Bei-Fong tightened her fists and bolted. Bolin wanted to laugh, her bending was temporarily gone, and so she wouldn't be able to defend herself properly. She's just panicking now, her fear is getting the better of her... How sweet.
"Stop her!" Bolin ordered. The men then launched themselves at Bei-Fong, grabbing her by the arms. She shrieked, trying to kick them away, but Bolin chose well, these men were tough and strong. In a few moments she was fully restrained, although she was still struggling.
Bolin took a glance at The Lieutenant, who was beginning to look sick. "Can you not do this? Are you afraid of me? Of what I do? I thought you were strong, carrying out Amon's orders. Can you not carry out mine? Do I have to dispose of you?" Bolin demanded.
The Lieutenant glowered at him, "Don't worry, I'll be loyal." He vowed. There was still a tremor of terror in his voice. Bolin rolled his eyes, but ignored it. He had better things to do.
Bolin walked towards Lin, who was weakened. Both her arms were being held as she tried to flail away from them.
"Well then..." Bolin smiled pleasantly, his hammer swinging in his hand. "Let's get started, shall we?"
"Hurry up girl!" Korra told Naga, rushing her. The polar bear dog was sprinting through the city. Korra was panting just as loud as Naga, not from running, but from dread. Mako hugged her from behind. Korra found his hand and gripped it hard.
"Don't worry." Mako murmured. "Everything will be fine."
"No... No it won't..." Korra said. "Bolin... Is he really..."
"No! He'll be okay! We can fix him Korra! What happened was an accident, he's not thinking clearly!" Mako hissed. Korra just sighed.
"But Tenzin said-"
"Forget about it! He could be exaggerating! It's not that bad!"
Korra just looked ahead, her lips bearing her teeth marks.
Naga stopped and lied down on the ground. Korra patted her head, "Thanks girl, you just stay here with Pabu, alright?" Pabu scampered onto Naga's back and curled up in a ball, ready to nap.
"Mako, let's go!" Korra cried, tugging his sleeve. Together, they both went through the hospital's entrance. They went up the stairs as Tenzin had said, and went to the last room to the left, room U6-9-3. Without any hesitation, Korra swung the door open. She took one look and gasped, a sob beginning to expand in her throat. Mako held her close, looking away and trying not to gag at the gruesome sight. Tenzin really wasn't exaggerating... Oh spirits...
Lin Bei-Fong was lying down in the bed. She was sleeping finally, Mako had heard that the intense pain was preventing her to rest, but here she was, sleeping peacefully. If you just looked at her top half, you'd just a woman sleeping soundly, but if you added the bottom half...
Her feet... Were they even feet anymore? No, they weren't, not anymore. When Tenzin told them the news, they had said that her feet were smashed repeatedly by some sort of hammer. They were hit so many times that the healers had no choice but to remove the bloodied remains. There was no way that she could heal. Her feet were smashed to bits, impossible to heal. Now, they were just stumps where her feet were supposed, covered up in bloody bandages. The esteemed chief of police... She was no more. She was still alive luckily, after the big prison riot there was a large death toll of officers, Chief Bei-Fong was lucky to have survived. Many officers's died, and nearly all the prisoners had escaped, including The Lieutenant, Amon's former ally.
She was going to get better though, yes it would take time and yes, she wouldn't be able to walk anymore... nor bend... But Mako thought she was lucky to still be alive.
Korra sniffed, her eyes growing teary. "Oh spirits Mako... Bolin did this, your brother! Mako, he's not savable, I don't think he is savable anymore-"
"He is!" Mako cried desperately, "He has to be! I mean, come on Korra! I'm not giving up on Bo!"
"Mako..." Korra whispered, "Look at what he's done to her. If he had just taken away her bending, then I'd be able to fix this, but her feet Mako, an Earth-Bender needs their feet! That's even worse than taking her bending!"
"At least she still has it!"
"But she can never use it properly again! You know how hard it is to bend the earth without your feet touching the ground? Mako, just hear me out! Bolin... He's gone too deep."
Mako let her go and shook his head furiously. "He's still there! We can save him!"
Korra just looked down. "I don't know anymore Mako... I just don't know..."
Footsteps could be heard, rushing towards them. In an instant, Tenzin appeared. He seemed out of breath, as if he just ran all the here. His face was red and sweat was rolling down his forehead. He looked up at the faces of Korra and Mako. His eyes were hard and dark and there was panic deep in his voice as he spoke the following words.
"Amon, he's escaped!"
I'm sorry I did that to Lin... But consider yourselves lucky. I was thinking of including Bolin smashing her feet up to bits in detail. You know, gor detail. But you're lucky I chose not too... I feel like a bad person though for removing Bei-Fong's feet, sorry guys :(
So yeah, Amon's escaped, The Lieutenant has joined Bolin, (out of fear, and maybe for some revenge from Amon.) Lin's no longer the Chief of Police... What else can go wrong?
Hehehe... You have no idea. :p
