Question asked by: Nesker Aww cute, can't wait for more. Really want to know what's going on in the world. Like is slavery a common phenomenon or were they just unlucky? Either way I'm liking the character interactions.

Anwser: It's a common thing in this AU. Slaves are bought and sold on slave markets. Although there are always people that are against it ofcourse. One of them being Korra and practicly her entire tribe.

Chapter 3

Two days passed by slowly. Asami never left Korra's side and the two shared a, sort of, conversation. The raven haired beauty mostly asked her new friend questions in the most simple ways she could think of. Korra seemed to understand quite a lot but her vocabulary wasn't up to date with the rest. So their conversations were mostly one sided.

Although she felt safer than she had been the last couple of weeks, Asami still flinched each time a raider entered the prison. Each time she did, she felt strong arms around her. They held her securely against the form of their owner. The water tribe natives shared everything they had been able to smuggle aboard with the pale beauty. Something that she was extremely grateful for it.

The tanned women helped Asami deal with her wounds by tending to them with her water bending. She had looked away, ashamed, when Korra noticed the dark bruises on her inner thighs. She didn't need to explain to her how she got those ones. Where Asami came from, when a woman looses her virginity, she isn't worth a single copper piece. They were supposed to remain 'pure' till their wedding night when their husband would consummate their marriage and claim her as his own.

She had expected the tribe member to scowl at her. To say what a bad woman she was for letting those men rob her of her most precious gift. To even turn her back to her and let her tribe members know that they were about to rescue a worthless woman.

But nothing of all that happened. Instead of harsh looks and words, she received another comforting hug from Korra. She even asked her, with quite a lot of trouble, if she could ease her pain with her bending. Asami had gladly taken her offer but was embarrassed to slightly spread her legs. Tanned hands, that were covered with glowing water, slowly worked her sore and painful muscles.

Her hands had been so gentle. So warm. She saw Korra's reassuring smile when she worked on the damaged muscles under her fingertips. She couldn't stop the deep blush from crawling on her cheeks. The bruises were still present but they were a lighter shade of blue by the time Korra stopped working on them.

The woman with her amazing blue eyes shared everything that she had with the heiress. Everything. Not just the water and food. She had given her parka to Asami, who still wore it even though she had tried to return it several times.

Even with the parka to keep her warm. At night, when the temperatures dropped, she shivered from the cold. Korra would share her body heat with her. The same hands that had worked on her muscles several hours prior. Would crawl under the fabric of her parka. Warm hands and arms would make contact with cold skin and Asami would let out a happy sigh. She'd turn around and face the southerner, just to crawl that little bit closer to her and fall right back asleep.

It was in the middle of the night when the prison door was suddenly opened. People were woken up abruptly and looked around in their sleepy daze. Two men made their way over to the group of water tribe natives.

"{You... get up. Captain wants a word with you.}" he said but kept his distance from the two young women.

Korra narrowed her eyes but nodded. She looked at Asami and smiled. "No worry... sleep more you."

"B-but..." she looked at her friend in fear, a hand tightly around the others wrist. She looked from Korra to the two raiders in the prison. She was scared they would do the same with the Southerner as they had done with her. "P-please... be careful..." she whispered. Her eyes closed.

She felt a soft hand cup the right side of her face. A warm cheek was pressed against the other side and Korra's lips were close to her ear. "I fine... sleep Sami..." she whispered before a soft kiss was pressed against her temple.

The heiress felt how her heart skipped a beat or two when those soft lips made contact with her skin. They left an emptiness when Korra pulled back and left with the raiders. The door securely locked behind them.

"Gods... please be safe..." Asami whispered. Her hands folded and her eyes clenched shut. She was shivering but not from the cold this time. She felt sick. Korra would be beaten and raped like she had been. And there was nothing that she could do to prevent it.

Why had her father not stop those raiders from taking her away? Why hadn't he fought them? He surely was able to.

She turned her gaze at the men of the water tribe. They were sitting on the wooden floor. Their legs crossed. Their hands, clenched into fists, against each other in front of them. They seemed to be meditating.

The young heiress sighed deeply and slowly laid down once again. Her mind drifted off to Korra. She missed the younger woman and prayed to the gods that she'd be alright.

Korra was lead to the captains quarters. The man who spoke her tongue grinned behind her and kept his eyes fixated on the back of the Southerner. "{Once the captain is done with you... I'm sure he wouldn't mind that I take you for a spin or two...}" he said and licked his lips.

"{You're a fucking disgrace to your tribe, filthy traitor... you dare touch me and I'll rip off your dick and shove it arm deep into your ass.}"

"{Ha! You'd wish you savage... I'll make sure that you'll be bleeding for days to come... you have my word on that. And after that... I'll fuck your black haired friend as well.}"

Korra's eyes shot open and she turned around with the speed of an airbender. Something that her capture had not expected and was surely surprised by the fist that punched him right into his face. He howled in pain and reached for his face with both his hands. "Fuck! Goddamnit! You goddamned bitch! I'll make you pay for that!" he removed his whip from his belt but before he could do anything, Korra was all over him.

"{Filthy piece of worthless scum! I'm gonna kill you!}" she tried to hit the man wherever she could. With all the strength she could muster. They landed on his face, his chest and his stomach. Anywhere would do. After a few firm punches, she was grabbed from behind. Several arms held her when she tried to get back to the man that was still laying on the wooden floor. All curled up and his arms in front of his face. Protecting himself from the fierce blows that the woman was dealing.

"{Enough... we go see the captain. Now.}" the other raider said in Korra's native tongue.

Korra growled a final time at the raider that laid on the floor before she was guided away by the other man. He seemed to speak her tongue as well. Although he wasn't water tribe. The people from the North and South all had a tanned skin. Some darker then others, but still. "{How are you able to speak my tongue?}" she asked genuinely curious.

"{I travelled the world before I joined this crew.}" he said as they made their way to the Captain's quarters. "{I tend to gather as much riches as I can before I return home to my wife and child.}"

Korra scoffed. "{Really? Does rape and murder bring you wealth?}" she said with a growl.

"{I did not rape your black haired friend. But many of my crewmates did yes... they took her in turns and when it was supposed to be my turn... I turned my back at her.}" she heard an undertone of regret in his voice. "{Unfortunately for her... the rest of the crew... they only grew more excited from her cries.}"

"{ENOUGH! I don't need to hear your excuses! You're nothing but a coward! You should've helped her! You should've protected her!}" she growled like an animal as she spoke. "{She did nothing wrong to any of you!}"

"{I tried to tend to her wounds once... but she wouldn't let me... she...-}" he was cut off when Korra abruptly turned around and spat in his face.

"{Can you blame her?!}" she roared, "{All the men on this ship just wanted one thing from her! They left her bleeding, bruised and broken! And you would actually think she wanted to be touched? Are you really that stupid?}" she turned back around and continued to walk.

"{I just...-}" He was cut off once again.

"{Stop talking, I don't give a shit about what you have to say. Where I come from, actions speak louder than words.}" she looked up to the dark sky. The moon shone brightly down upon them. She then looked over her shoulder when she finally reached the door of the captains quarters. "{Perhaps one day, you will be able to redeem yourself... pray to the Gods that you will make the right decision then... instead of turning your back to those who need you.}"

Before the man could answer, the door was opened from the inside and Korra walked in. Leaving the man with his thoughts.

It was decorated with a big oak bed in the far left corner. Dark red bed sheets covered the mattress along with big soft pillows. At the right of the room there were several shelves. Some stocked with scrolls that probably had maps on them of all kinds of countries and areas from all over the world. Other shelves had bottles with expensive looking liquor. Fire nation Whiskey. Spirits of the Northern and Southern water tribes. All in different colours. Variations from dark blue to bright pink. A few Earth Kingdom bottles with delicious tasting cognac. She looked to her left again and saw a wardrobe. The doors closed.

In the middle of the room stood a massive and beautifully decorated oak desk. Behind it an equally decorated chair with comfortable looking arms rests that had a silken padding.

Before the desk stood another, lesser decorated, chair. A person sat in it. Hands tied to the armrests and a linen sack that covered the persons face.

Her gaze turned to the man that stood next the hooded person. A man with a tanned skin looked at her. An old scar decorated his face and he was blind at one eye from the old wound. The scar went from the middle of his forehead, to the bridge of his nose, over his eye and ended at his right cheek. His other eye was ocean blue and gazed at Korra intensely. He was dressed in black leather boots, black linen shirt and a dark blue cotton pants. He had a sword attacked to his dark brown belt that hung loosely around his waist.

His hand reached to the hood of the other person and pulled off with a swift tug. "{I believe you two know each other..?}" he asked and revealed a pair of rotting teeth as he spoke.

The person blinked a few times. She narrowed her eyes and seemed to have some trouble focussing on the other woman before her. One of her eyes had a clear bruise around it and there was some dried blood under her nose. "{Mother? Is that you? You look so young... I told you not to come after me.}"

Korra couldn't help but snicker. "{No, I'm not your mother...}"

"{Oh thank Yue for that!}" before she could continue, she received a slap against the back of her head. "{Ow...! Hey!}" she growled at the captain. "{Korra, get me out of here so I can murder this piece of trash.}" she muttered and wiggled her wrists slightly. Trying to get free.

"{You have a big mouth, for someone who's tied up... I'll show you later what to do with that mouth.}" he walked over to Korra and grabbed her throat with just one of his hands. "{And you... your friend here told me you were here to save that little vixen I have on board... because her daddy and mommy want her back home.}" he grinned wickedly at the Southerner but instead of looking back with fear in her eyes, all he saw was hatred that burned with determination. He sneered at her and narrowed both his eyes. "{Since you and that vixen are so close... I'll make sure to let you watch next time I fuck her into oblivion... she'll...- Uhng...!}"

He wasn't able to finish his sentence. Slowly he released Korra's throat from his tight grip. He looked at his own hand in disbelief, his eyes wide in fear. "{N-No...! T-this... c-can't be!}" something from within forced him on his knees. He growled in frustration and seemed to be fighting whatever was forcing him to kneel before his prisoner. He gritted his disgusting teeth. Tried with all the strength in his body to stand up. But he couldn't.

Korra looked down at him and forced him to look up at her. Her eyes narrowed and she moved a hand up in the air. She used her bending to summon the water from a glass that stood on the desk. The water moved through the air and attached itself to the tanned hand that was still in the air. Slowly the water turned into ice. It took the form of a thin but sharp spike that was attached to Korra's hand.

"{Never again will you hurt someone. Today, your reign of terror on this ship ends. And the last thing you will see... Is my face...}"

Before the captain could even utter a word. The spike of ice came down and forced its way straight into the man's racing heart. Korra stayed in that position for a few seconds. Enjoying the fear on the man's face as the candle of his life essence was blown out. His eyes wide in shock and horror. He gave a final gurgling sound before his body slumped over to the side. A pool of blood started to appear where he was laying on the floor.

Korra spat on the captain's lifeless body and walked over to the other woman. She smiled as she cut away the bonds that tied her to that chair.

"{It's good to see you Axis... Seems we're on schedule after all... full moon.}"

Axis grinned and nodded. She got up and stretched her arms and legs before she pulled Korra in a tight embrace. "{Good to see you too. Are we on the right ship?}" she asked and let go of her friend, slowly checking her surroundings.

"{Yes. The Sato girl is here. She's below deck with my father and the others.}"

Axis cracked her knuckles. "{Well then... let's not keep them waiting any longer...}" she said and pulled her two swords from the scabbards that hung on her back.

Korra grinned. "{Do it...}"

Axis smirked and nodded. She took a deep breath, leaned her head backwards and howled like a wolf. The sound of the howl pierced through everything and reached the ears of the men down below.

Tonraq smiled and got up immediately. "{It's time brothers!}" he yelled and his men got up as well. They grinned and reached into their clothing for small weapons, but most of all, their water pouches. They hung around their hips and the water was used to break the lock of their prison door.

No mercy was shown as they fought their way to the upper deck. Slicing through flesh and bone with their icy weapons and regular ones.

Tonraq stayed with Asami who had no clue of what was going on. She had a panicked expression present on her face when Tonraq walked closer to her. The friendly smile on his face reassured her that she was safe but that was it.

"You. Stay." He said and then pointed at himself. "Tonraq fight. Korra too."

The heiress nodded slowly. This had been their plan all along? She wondered and saw Korra's father disappear from sight. He closed the door again behind him but used water to freeze it over. It made entry impossible, unless you were an waterbender.

Axis and Korra finally opened the door of the captain's quarters and were welcomed by a group of ten raiders.

Both women smirked. "{And so the fun begins...}" Korra said and grinned as her hands hung loosely beside her body. Water trickle over the wooden surface of the deck. It came from the Captains quarters. The crew watched as the substance slowly attacked to Korra's hands. Slowly it started to take form. It became long, pointy and sharp. Like two swords. The ice of her self made weapons wrapped around her wrists and hands. Korra had a firm grip on both of them even though they were made of ice. She was used of the cold.
