KORRA POV-

After school Asami and I agreed to meet the boys at the party. Seeing that we had to take our time to get ready, and with the boys waiting on us would just put pressure on us.

So here we were now on our way to our apartment to get ready for the party tonight at 7. I was still pretty worried about going to the party with everything that happened this morning with Howl. I really shouldn't be going since he's going to be there too. But Mako said that nothing is going to happen.

I think he's right, I mean what is going to happen in a house full of people?

"Hellooo... Kooorrrraaaaa?" I was pulled out of my thoughts by Asami.

I looked up at her " Hmm?"

"I said what happened today? You were acting weird."

I decided that I really shouldn't get her more worried. I couldn't bring her into this, and possibly get her to end up hurt.

" Oh.. nothing. I was just thinking about my parents." I instantly looked and stared at my hands. I felt horrible for lying to her, but I just couldn't afford the risk of telling her the truth.

She looked at me with sympathetic eyes and didn't say anything else for the rest of the car ride. Signaling that she believed my lie.

I let out a sigh of relief because I didn't have to explain my lie any further.

( TIME SKIP... GETTING READY FOR THE PARTY)

GENERAL POV-

Asami and Korra were now almost ready, giving that the party had already started and the boys were already there waiting for them anxiously.

Asami was wearing a Dolce & Gabbana Embellished mesh dress, Ted Muehling Long Berry Onyx Earrings,Black Flower Austria Crystal Pendant, a Mango Rose Ring, and H&M high heels. Wearing her hair in a beautiful updo, that looked like a rose. She put on a little make-up with a nude lip color. (LINK IN PROFILE)

While Korra was wearing a white crystal strapless stretch satin dress, with teardrop crystal chandelier earrings, a white floral-pattern estate bangle bracelet, and Christian Louboutin Lady Daf high heels. Pulling the whole look together with a messy side braid. She was also wearing little make-up with only black eyeliner and red lips. (LINK IN PROFILE)

Once they were ready they went through the routine of checking each other's outfit.

"Ok how do I look?" Asami asked Korra while twirling around to give her a full view of the outfit.

"Hmm... Well lets see?" Korra said pretending to think deeply on her opinion.

Asami gave her an annoyed look, knowing that Korra was doing it on purpose.

Korra looked at her best friend's face and laughed. "Do you seriously have to ask me that everytime? You know that you look awesome in every outfit!"

Asami gave her friend a smile and then laughed. " Well it's out of habit, plus you never know if one day, god forbid I put on a horrible outfit..."

Korra laughed even harder at her friend's ridiculous observation. "Ok Asami whatever you say... Now how do I look?"

Asami gave Korra the same expression that she had gotten "Do you seriously have to ask me that everytime?" She mimicked.

Korra rolled her eyes and started for the door.

"Come on, we should get going. The party already started and the guys must be worried about where we are." Korra stated.

Asami chuckled and said "Oh they should stop worrying. It's silly."

Korra nodded, although in the back of her head she though 'Mako must be worried sick. He probably thinks that something happened to me, what with what happened with Howl.'

(TIME SKIP TO ON THE WAY TO THE PARTY)

KORRA POV-

We were now on our way to the party, being fashionably late of course. we had the radio cranked up high while singing along at the top of our lungs to the song RED (by Taylor Swift).

Oh, losing him was blue, like I've never known

Missing him was dark grey, all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

'Cause loving him was red

Yeah, yeah red

Burning red

And that's why he's spinning round in my head

Comes back to me, burning red

yeah, yeah

His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

We sang the last verse of the song being out of breath. But I must admit that we are both pretty good singers. So we didn't sound off key while singing along.

Asami then started changing the stations , while I randomly looked in the side view mirror.

At first I just saw a random van in back of us and thought nothing of it. But as Asami kept driving and made two turns the van was still in back of us, and I started getting suspicious.

" Umm... Asami?" I called nervously. She must have heard the hesitation in my voice because she looked over at me concerned.

" Yea Korra? What's wrong?"

I looked again into the side view mirror and started again " I- I think we are being followed." As I stated Asami made yet another turn and so did the van. By now I was positive that we were actually being followed. "Actually I know we are being followed!"

Asami looked in the rearview mirror to see that I was right. She started panicking as well. " Oh my god, you're right! What do we do?!"

I saw that Asami was even more freaked out than me and decided that I had to be the rational one here.

"Okay... I don't know! Ok let's try to lose the van!" I screamed already losing my calm demeanor.

Asami nodded at me at floored it. Causing me to jerk forward. Good thing I was wearing my seat belt, but at the rate Asami was going I had to hold on to the door handle.

Asami swerved at every intersection trying to lose the van but to no avail. It seemed that they knew exactly where the car was going to turn.

That's when I got an idea. "Asami! Quick don't make a move to turn until the last second!"

She threw me a quick wide-eyed glance and shouted in panic "What?! Why!?"

"Because it seems like they know exactly when and where we are going to turn! So don't make a decision to turn until the last second!"

She quickly nodded and sped the car up even more.

I was now holding on for dear life, and preparing for the sharp turn approaching.

Suddenly as we were about to pass the turn, Asami turned the steering wheel hurriedly to the left. Causing the car to screech and cut off a bunch of cars, earning quite a few honks and not so pleasant shouts.

Once we took control of the car again, I looked back. I was relieved to see that the van was nowhere in sight, and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.

I looked over at Asami who was gripping the steering wheel hard and staring straight ahead with her eyes wide.

She looked over at me and relaxed a bit seeing that I was calmer, although shaking involuntarily. "Did we lose them?"

I looked back again, just in case."Yea, we lost them. But when did they start following us? Were they waiting for us to leave from the apartment, or did they just randomly start pursuing us?"

Asami didn't answer, although I wasn't expecting an answer. Seeing that I was talking to myself.

"I think we should just get to the party as soon as possible and tell the guys, and have each of them drive one of us home. Just to be safe." I quickly agreed with Asami.

(TIME SKIP... THEY WERE NOW PULLING UP TO THE PARTY)

As soon as we pulled up into the street of the party, we saw that there was no parking anywhere. So we had no other choice but to park across the street.

As Asami finished parking, we sat in the car without moving or making a sound. We were still extremely freaked out and would now be paranoid. We would have to start riding with the guys. Since it was now apparent that we weren't safe by ourselves.

Our silence was broken by the sound of my phone ringing. Which of course made us jump out of our skin.

I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Mako. "It's Mako. I'm going to tell him to meet us outside the house with Bolin so that Bolin could drive you home and Mako can drive me."

Asami nodded now facing towards me looking pale, as I was sure I looked about the same.

"Ok. I don't really want to go to the party anymore. I just want Bolin and Mako to take us home, and stay with us there. Until we calm down."

I nodded and picked up the phone as we started getting out.

"Hello?"

"Korra? Where are you guys?"

"We are already here. We're across the street."

"Ok. Hey is something wrong? You sound panicked?"

I let out a shaky breath, reliving the terror of being followed in my head.

"Yea something happened on our way here."

"Korra, what happened? You're starting to worry me." I could tell that Mako was getting Bolin and making his way outside.

I sighed and decided to just tell him now.

"On our way here we were being followed by a van...Can you meet us outside in front of the house? We really don't want to go to the party anymore or be alone for that fact."

By now Mako was practically running, by the sound of the music dying down in the background.

"Ok we'll meet you guys there."

I agreed and hung up.

Asami and I started making our way to cross the street.

I was walking in front of Asami, when I turned slightly to look at her and make sure she was ok.

I wasn't watching the road ahead of me and asked "Asami are you okay, you know seeing with everything that happened?"

Asami had her arms wrapped around her body and was staring at the ground, when she looked up and went wide-eyed immediately.

I frowned wondering why she had, but wasn't allowed to even react when Asami screamed out "Korra! Watch out!"

As fast as lightning I turned around just in time to see a very familiar van come speeding towards me.

AMON POV-

"God dammit! You lost them!"

I could see the driver flinch, and internally felt proud that I could cause such fear. But at the moment I was seething because the idiot lost sight of the car.

"Turn around and head for the destination of that so called party."

The driver immediately obeyed me and did just that.

After a few minutes of driving we turned up to the designated street.

Just as we were approaching the house, I took hold of the two girls I was looking for crossing the street. With the one that appeared to be Korra, the most useful to me of the two, crossing first.

I suddenly got an idea and changed the plans a bit.

"Now there is going to be a slight change of plans." I instructed my followers.

They all nodded and I continued " I want you to speed up and come close to running that girl over."

He looked at me wide-eyed and I smirked "Now I don't want you to actually run her over. Just merely give her a scare."

He nodded once again and I took a front row seat at seeing this plan in action.

It was time to get my proposition out on the open.

MAKO POV-

I was already anxious at seeing that the girls hadn't arrived yet. But once I called Korra I only got more worried. When she picked up the phone, her voice seemed off and panicked. Immediately I knew something was wrong.

My suspicions were confirmed when she told me that they were being pursued.

At hearing this I quickly grabbed Bolin and made my way outside.

She quickly told me that they wanted us to meet them outside and to take them home and keep them company. I could tell that she was afraid, and I hated that. I didn't like seeing Korra, who was always confident and brave be afraid and vulnerable.

So once I hung up, Bolin and I waited impatiently for the girls to be in our sight.

I still couldn't see them being that they were parked across the street in the market. But I then heard what seemed like Asami's voice scream out "Korra! Watch out!"

At hearing the panic and alarm in her voice, my blood ran cold and I started running. With Bolin close behind. As I got closer spotted Korra turning around fast and to my horror she was facing an oncoming van that seemed like it wasn't going to stop.

I mindlessly started running faster my football training kicking in.

All that was on my mind was to get Korra out of the way.

I saw that Korra wasn't reacting out of shock and I screamed out " Korra! Move out of the way!"

KORRA POV-

Once Asami screamed out to look out I turned around to face a very familiar oncoming van. In that moment I couldn't move. Even when I heard Mako's desperate call to move out of the way.

It was like my brain was frozen without being able to process anything. I closed my eyes tight ready to feel the impact and piercing pain. But instead I felt a hard body tackling me out of the way.

I felt myself fall hard on the ground except an arm that protected my head from colliding with concrete, and a body on top of me. I still had my eyes tightly shut with a few tears escaping my eyes from fear of almost dying. I heard the van screeching away, but still didn't open my eyes.

I heard someone say something to me but it sounded like they were far away. All I could think was that I almost died similar to how my parents had died, and realizing that made me all the more scared.

I felt sick, I felt like I was going to faint. But I heard someone calling me again this time I knew who it was... Mako.

"Korra? Korra... are you alright? Please open your eyes." I could tell that he was desperate.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was no longer laying on the floor, but laying in Mako's arms on the sidewalk.

'When was I moved? How did I not notice being picked up from the street and taken to the sidewalk? Was I really that out of it?'

As I looked up I was met with amber- eyes staring back into mine with concern and love.

"Mako.." That was I it took before I saw Mako break into a grin. I couldn't help but give a small smile back.

He brought me up to him and hugged me tight, and kissed my temple.

"I'm so glad you're ok."

In that moment I just felt like crying and staying next to him where I know I'm safe. I buried my face into his chest and clutched his shirt. Letting a few tears escape my eyes.

I felt Mako's own arms tighten around me, bringing our bodies flush against one another.

"Shhh.. It's going to be ok. I promise." Mako whispered into my hair. Low enough that only I could hear.

I nodded and he helped me get up, all the while never letting me go. As I looked up I saw Asami wrapped in Bolin's embrace crying silently as well.

As soon as we met gazes she came running to me and hugged me. "Korra! I'm so glad you're ok. Th-that car... a-almost r-an you over." Asami stuttered.

I hugged her back crying silently without answering back.

When we pulled away she went back into Bolin's arms and I went into Mako's.

Asami and I were too shaken up to talk.

So Mako was the first to speak.

"Bolin you take Asami to her and Korra's apartment in her car, and I'll take Korra in our car."

Bolin nodded and gave me a sympathetic ,look and then turned around and guided Asami back to the car.

Once they were out of sight, Mako turned towards me and cupped my face in his hands.

"Korra are you sure you're ok?"

I looked up into his eyes full of love, and concern. At that point I couldn't hold it in anymore and shook my head no, and broke down crying.

Mako quickly took me into his arms and whispered soothing words while stroking my hair.

He then proceeded to wrap his leather jacket around me, and carried me to his car.

He placed me into the passenger seat and hurried into the driver's side. He gave me a lingering kiss on my temple and started the car. The whole ride I was clutching onto his hand that was entwined in mine, and stared straight ahead. Trying to clear my head of what had just happened tonight.

Without noticing it, we reached Asami and I's apartment. Her car was already there signaling that they had gotten there safe.

Mako shut off the engine and turned towards me. By just looking at his face I broke down once more. Without hesitation Mako pulled me across the passenger seat and into his lap. Letting me grip his shirt and cry. He kissed my head repeatedly trying desperately to calm me down.

Once I did, I looked up at him and gave him a long passionate kiss. Pouring out all of my love for him into that one kiss.

"Thank you for always being there for me and protecting me." I said giving him a watery smile.

He gave me a small smile and gently wiped away my tears. "I love you Korra. I will always do everything to be by your side and keep you safe."

I suddenly felt my heart swell at hearing him say for the first time that he loved me. I couldn't resist the urge to throw myself at him and give him another passionate kiss. Once we broke apart and caught our breath I said " I love you too, Mako. I love you so much."

At hearing me say it he broke out into a goofy grin, in which I couldn't help but chuckle.

He kissed my forehead and leaned his head against mine.

"I'm never going to leave your side or let you get hurt. I promise."

At that point I felt safe, because I knew that what he said was completely true.

AMON POV-

That little brat got in the way of my plans!

He just had to push her out of the way, and ruin my plan of the proposition!

But no worries I will soon make my point made, and I will have them listen to my offer.

This was just a mere set-back. I will know when those two girls are alone without those boys being around.

When I do find out when that is... my plan will be in motion once again.
