They walked back to her cave in silence. The only thing that showed they loved each other was their hands entwined together.

Bolin and Kiara sat in the cave talking.

"Are you going to go back?" Bolin asked.

Kiara was silent for a few moments. "Yes, I'm coming back with you."

"Why did you kill him?"

"It wasn't my fault!" Kiara said defensively. "He stole my blood, forced me to turn into the monster, and attacked me! What was I suppose to do? Let him kill me?"

Bolin was startled at her sudden rage.

"It was self-defense! I wouldn't kill someone!"

Bolin placed his hands on her shoulders, "I understand Kiara. I was so confused why you would do something like that. I knew that you had a good reason." He said gently.

Kiara smiled and hugged him. "Thanks for understanding, Bo."

While Kiara and Bolin walked into the city, Metalbending Cops surrounded them almost immediately.

Kiara tensed and looked ready to attack. Bolin rested his hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down, Kiara. Remember what we said?"

Kiara stared at him and sighed.

"Fine," she glared at the cops. "I surrender." Kiara said through clenched teeth.

Handcuffs held tightly around Kiara's hands as the Metalbending cops pushed her along. She glanced around her surroundings and realized she was in the Police Headquarters. They pushed her into a room that was covered in metal. Kiara realized that she wasn't the only one in the room. She looked up and saw a woman, with two scars on the edge of her face, glaring down at her.

"Get up!" She barked.

Kiara jumped up onto her feet.

The women then dragged Kiara to a chair beside a table.

Kiara stared at her for a few moments and asked. "Are you Chief Lin Beifong?"

The women nodded. "I heard that you killed someone?"

Anger blazed in Kiara's icy-blue eyes. "I didn't kill him!"

She began explaining the story again. Chief Beifong turned to the cop that was beside her while Kiara was halfway through her story.

"I think you can leave us alone for now."

The cop looked uncertain for a few moments before bowing and exited the room.

As Kiara was held in the room with the Chief, Mako and Bolin waited outside for a few hours. They jumped to their feet when they saw Kiara and Chief Beifong walk toward them. Bolin was surprised to see Kiara smiling. She ran toward the brothers and hugged them.

"What happened?" Mako asked puzzled like his brother.

"They investigated the scene again and it was proven that I was right all along!"

"Yes, we examined the scars on Kiara's hand and it was from a firebender. Also, there was a surveillance camera that taped the whole thing." The Chief also added. "But you're still not off the hook." She warned.

This time it was Kiara's turn to be puzzled. "Why?"

"You still committed murder. The council will decide whether or not you can be let loose."

Kiara cursed under her breathe.

"We will have a decision by the end of tomorrow."

With that, Chief Beifong left them alone.

The trio walked home in silence. When they arrived home, Mako glanced at Kiara.

"It's great to have you home again."

Kiara stared at him before breaking into a smile and gave him a platypus-bear hug.

"Hey, what about me?" Bolin asked with puppy-dog eyes.

Kiara laughed and hugged him too. Bolin then let go and kissed her. Mako's eyes widened when he saw this. The waterbender pushed Bolin back gently and looked at Mako.

"You guys want to catch me up?" Mako asked.

Kiara explained the story about Bolin finding her in the forest.

"I'm sorry Mako." She said with guilt in her eyes. "You're a great guy, but I really like Bolin."

Mako smiled. "No, it's fine! I'm happy that Bolin now has a girlfriend."

Kiara smiled. "Thanks for understanding." With that, she hugged Mako once again and walked away from the living room and into the kitchen.

As the brothers watched her go, Mako asked.

"You didn't tell her, did you?"

Bolin shook his head sadly.

The next day, Kiara walked into the court with Bolin and Mako. She sat down in front of the court and stared at the council.

"Kiara…" Councilman Tenzin hesitated as if he didn't agree with their decision. "Since we found out that you killed someone, we immediately jumped to conclusions. I want to say that we are sorry."

Hope lit in Kiara's eyes.

"But! Even if you killed someone for self-defense, you still committed a crime. So we, the council, have decided that you will be banished from Republic City for 3 years."

Bolin jumped onto his feet immediately. "What! That's not fair!"

He stared at her to see her reaction, but Kiara's face was unreadable. Bolin thought he saw many emotions. Hate? Anger? Grief? Whatever it was, Kiara didn't show it.

Kiara got up slowly and stared at the earthbender with much love and grief.

"It's okay, Bo." She turned to the council. "I have no arguments with the decision."

The council looked surprised.

"Well, you have to leave in a week, or there will be consequences."

As Kiara walked outside, Bolin and Mako caught up to her.

"What are you thinking?" Mako asked looking shocked.

"You heard me say it, I accept the decision."

"Yeah, but why?"

"There's no point in arguing, I committed a crime and I'll accept any punishment."

Bolin and Mako stopped walking and stared at Kiara as she walked past them.

They sat around the dinner table, eating in silence. Bolin suddenly broke the silence.

"Kiara… there's something Mako and I want to tell you."

Kiara looked up at them with curiosity lighting in her eyes.

"Well…" Mako hesitated. "While you were… away… for a month, we ran into someone who offered us a job as pro-benders."

"He also offered us a place to stay," Bolin added. "Even though we already have a house."

Kiara looked down at her food and began to eat again. After another few moments of silence, Kiara looked up again.

"That's great!"

Mako sighed. "He gave us a month to think about it."

"So?"

"No, you don't understand! That month is ending in a week. The same day you're supposed to leave town."

"I don't see the problem here," Kiara said looking confused at them. "With me away from Republic City, you guys need the money to get food and stuff."

Mako stared at Kiara. "So you're ok with this?"

"Of course! I know how much you love pro-bending."

With that, Kiara got up from the table and went into her room.

Kiara stared out her window and glance at the stars.

"Just when I thought I had people who would stay with me forever." She murmured.

Sorry about the delay. I thought I was going to upload but I've been really busy T_T. I'll try to update sometime this week! Anyway, please R&R to tell me what you think and what will Kiara do next! ;)
