I apologize for nothing that happens in the next chapter and all that's hinted in this one, but please don't hate me! It happens quickly and that's the point, so don't tell me it felt rushed. Please don't hate me! It's all for plot T-T...

Oh, and have you guys gotten the vibe that this is just a twisted version of season 1? And I may or may not be planning a sequel, but you didn't hear that from me ;)

And HEY! I made a video for Korrasami! If you go to youtube and search "korrasami forever", look for a video under "Avatar Korra."

~Asami~

We didn't stay much longer at the cliff. We spent the rest of our time talking about things we didn't know about each other. Korra told me about her life at the compound, how long it took her to come to terms with being the Avatar and fulfill her training.

"It was confusing at first." she said, using her earthbending to lift a tiny rock and flick it out into the distance. "I knew I was the Avatar the minute I found out I could firebend at four years old." She looked down. "But when I started to learn more about my destiny and perfect my bending, it just became more and more distressing.

"I wanted nothing more than to prove that I could be who I was. That I could become the Avatar that people needed. The White Lotus didn't seem to believe me." She laughed and looked at me. "And since I kept having little fits where I would unwillingly change, that just kept helping their case."

"If they could see you now, I guarantee they'd be able to tell that you're making progress." I said. "I mean, hell, you saved me and didn't lose control, right?"

She grinned, but it faded quickly. "I almost did... You saw it..."

"Korra, you are becoming who you need to be. You are trying to form your own destiny. That's all you can ever do in the end." I pulled her close to me into a hug and kissed her softly. Her lips moved slowly against mine. I smiled when I pulled away. "And I think you're doing an amazing job so far."

She asked me more about my family and how we came to live in Republic City. I told her about how we used to move around a lot when I was younger because Dad always had a business meeting or an important project somewhere.

"I didn't grow up with a lot." I said. "In fact, I barely had anything to my name."

"Seriously?" she said. "I thought you guys were, like, crazy rich."

"That didn't happen until we finally settled down here." I said. "I was six. My father had gotten an official job offer and said we were going to stay in Republic City. From there, he rose in the ranks. Then my mother died and there was a spiraling period where Dad didn't want to do anything." I sighed. "It took him another year to get back on his feet."

"Well, for a single father," Korra said. "He's doing a pretty good job of raising a daughter."

When the sun disappeared below the horizon, Korra told me that we needed to get home. I wanted to ask her if we could stay for a little longer, but I knew she was right. Tenzin would surely be worrying about her and my father was probably home now. I despised the fact that we had to lead normal lives.

When we reached the bottom of the hill, I got off of Korra's back and she changed back into her human form. In all honesty it was an amazing sensation, being on Korra's back when she was a wolf. Her stride was almost majestic and I could feel the strength she held. I felt a happiness stronger than my own. I could sense it. Maybe it had to do with the imprinting. I couldn't be sure.

I drove Korra to the docks again. We sat in silence for a few seconds, and I knew we were thinking the same thing. We didn't want the night to come to an end. She looked up at me and smiled, though. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"As always." I said, smiling back.

She kissed me briefly before getting out of the car. She gave me her sideways smirk before waving. I turned the car around and, as I drove away, honked the horn and waved over my shoulder. Little did I know what was waiting for me when I got home.

~time skip~

I parked my car in the driveway and shut it off. The first thing I noticed was the silence. Normally, when I came home, I would hear my father in the workshop testing some new machine. The whirring of gears, the low rumble of something moving, my father cussing out one of his workers. There was none of that. Just pure silence that was eerily deafening. Even the streets were quiet.

"I wonder if Dad is even home..." I muttered to myself as I shut my car door and headed for the house. I opened the front door. "Dad?" No answer. He must've been at the Future Industries building then. I shut the door and went to my room.

My footsteps echoed in the house and it sent chills down my spine. I reached my room and, for some reason, I closed the door. I looked at the time. It was almost eight-thirty. If I took a shower, I would have more than enough time to eat and finish a few blueprints before I needed to sleep. Sounded like a plan. I grabbed my robe from the back of my bedroom door and headed into the bathroom.

By the time I got out of the shower, the feeling that something was off had grown excessively. I entered my room in my robe and a cold shudder went down my spine. I felt like I was being watched. I stood in my mirror, trying to fix my hair, when an actual cold breeze ruffled my robe. The window was open... I knew for a fact that I didn't open it. Hesitantly, I walked over to the window and pulled back the curtains to look outside.

There was no way my eyes had played tricks on me. I saw someone run out of my yard, leaping effortlessly over the fence. I jumped back in panic, slamming the window down. Someone was watching me. I ran to my phone and picked it up, dialing the first person that came to mind.

~Korra~

Have I mentioned how annoying it was to train when it came to Tenzin being the one initiating it? He was such a hardass and persistent. I mean, I understood the fact that he was just trying to help me along with my bending, but couldn'y he just realize that I needed time to just be myself? Between everything that had happened the past two weeks, nothing had had time to just be normal.

The minute I got back to the island, Tenzin gave me a lecture about how important it was to be back on time to work on my airbending. I listened, of course, just to get him off my back, but that didn't keep me from imagining that I could set his robes on fire. And since I was late, I'd have to be up training even later. It wasn't fair. Especially since I couldn't shake this feeling that something was wrong. My stomach kept tying in knots and I got the feeling someone was watching me.

I was in the back, training with the spinning gates while a White Lotus sentry supervised when an Air Acolyte came out of the Temple. I came out the other side of the gates and he approached me.

"Avatar Korra, you have a phone call." he said.

I stared at him, confused, and crossed my arms. "From who?"

"Asami Sato." he said.

My ears perked up and I smiled. Eagerly I brushed past him and into the temple to the room that had the phone. It was hanging off the receiver and I picked it up, putting it to my ear. "Hey." I said happily.

"Korra, I'm so glad you answered." She sounded panicked and tense. The smile fell from my face immediately.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I think someone is outside my house, watching me or something." she replied. "You were the first person I thought of to call."

I gritted my teeth. That would explain why I kept feeling like something was off, uneasy. The imprint. Asami was feeling endangered and I was picking that up. "Don't worry, I'll be there soon. Just stay inside and protect yourself no matter what until I get there."

"Okay." she said.

I hung up the phone harshly and my back felt like it was on fire. I took a deep breath, forcing the heat away. It was never a good idea to change in such close quarters while I was angry. That's how the spinning gates ended up ruined the last time...with a little help of firebending. The first thing I thought of is that I wasn't going to try and protect her alone. I needed help. Avatar or not, that didn't mean I could win every battle by myself. I grabbed my hood as I ran outside and snatched up Naga's saddle.

It concerned me just how soon Asami had managed to already be in trouble after we'd just seen each other not too long ago. I was right before; I wasn't the only thing attracted to her.

"Come on, girl," I said when I entered the stalls. Naga picked her head up and wagged her tail. She jumped to her feet a second later and I fastened the saddle onto her, throwing myself up onto her back. "We have a couple stops to make."

Naga leapt from the the stall that was built for her towards the shore of the island, blurring past a few of the guards.

"Avatar Korra, where are you going?" one of them yelled after me. They started running after me, but there was no way they'd be able to keep up with a polar bear dog.

I didn't answer. I icebent a raft out of the water and Naga landed on it. I swung my arms in a propelling fashion, pushing us forward towards the city.

~Asami~

I sat on my bed, trying my best to not freak out too much as I had been for twenty minutes. I kept picturing the shadow running across the grass without a sound. What if they had turned around? Climbed the window? Entered my room... I shut my eyes as an unnatural concern, then anger filled me. My nails clawed into my sheets and I clenched my teeth. The anger was powerful, focused but near uncontrollable. It certainly wasn't my own emotion. The moon imprint was tingling. Anxiousness and adrenaline coursed my veins.

What if it ended up like last time, except this time I wouldn't make it out? What if Korra didn't get here on time and that person returned?

You can't think like that, Asami... I thought to myself. Korra would never let anything happen to you.

Out of nowhere, it all stopped. I was calm again. My heartbeat returned to normal, my hands loosened on the sheets, and my breathing slowed down. I opened my eyes and stared at the floor. I heard thuds outside my window and looked up in panic. There was a soft clink, like a pebble hitting the glass. I jumped to my feet.

"Asami!"

Korra! The weight crushing my heart lightened as I hurried to the window and opened it up, looking down and spotting Korra. Relief crossed her face when she saw me and I heard her sigh. "Thank the spirits you're alright!"

"Hang on, I'm going to let you in." I said.

"No, don't worry about that." Korra said as I started to turn away.

"What do you-?"

I didn't get to finish. I watched as she took a slight crouching position and, before I knew it, she was flying towards my window. I stumbled back as she came through, landing on her feet with a grin on her face as she pulled her hood back up over her head. "That went better than expected." She nodded at the bedroom door. "Now you can go open the front door."

I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

She shrugged, the smile never leaving her face. "Brought some friends along. I think you'll like the new one."

She started ahead of me, opening the door and heading down the stairs. I took a second to recover before following her down. She stood at the bottom of the stairs and grinned. I walked past her and my hand shook as I reached for the door knob. I pushed the handle down.

"Finally!" Kuvira said as she came through the door in her pajamas. 'Took ya long enough, we thought you were already kidnapped!"

Mako and Bolin came in behind her, also in their pajamas. They yawned, muttering tired greetings, and stood next to Korra. I waited another second for the new friend Korra had mentioned before to come in, but no one did. I looked back at her.

"Where's this new friend?" I asked.

Korra laughed and stepped forward into the doorway. She cupped her hands around her mouth. "Naga!"

Paws thudded against the ground, followed by heavy panting, and a giant white polar bear dog came soaring in the room, knocking Korra onto her back and pinning her down. It began to lick Korra all over her face, making her laugh as she gently pushed her back.

"Okay, Naga!" she laughed. "D-down, girl!"

Naga backed off of Korra and Kuvira helped Korra to her feet. Korra brushed the dirt off the front of her hoodie and smiled up at me. "Asami, this is Naga. Naga, Asami."

Naga approached me and I stepped back out of habit. She was huge. She sniffed me and her muzzled broke out into a big dog-like grin as she rubbed her head against mine and messing up my hair.

"That's what I call animal attraction." Kuvira said, laughing.

Korra whistled and Naga ran back to her. I looked at all of them.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" I asked. "I only called Korra."

"She came to get us." Mako said as he rubbed his eyes.

"She said she needed our help and you were in trouble, or something." Bolin said.

"Yeah, thanks for calling us." Kuvira said sarcastically, crossing her arms.

"I'm sorry, Korra was just the first one to come to mind." I admitted.

"That doesn't matter now." Korra said, suddenly serious. "What matters is that we get to the bottom of whatever is going on." She looked at me. "Did they look anything like the guys from before?"

"Before?" Kuvira asked.

"What do you mean 'before?'" Bolin said.

Korra, realizing her mistake, blushed deeply and bit her lip. I came to her rescue, feeling her embarrassment. After all, I knew the truth would have to come out eventually. "When I took her to see Love Amongst the Dragons, we were ambushed by these five guys in suits. They had electricity weapons and everything."

"How did you get away?" Mako said, his eyes wide.

I met Korra's eyes and saw the pleading in them to not mention her secret. I nodded slightly in understanding. "Korra used her waterbending to freeze them all in place. We called the police and they came and got them." Spirits, I hated to lie to them, but Korra's secret was more important.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Kuvira said.

"It just never came up at the right moment." Korra said.

"Anyway," I interrupted. "I couldn't see what they looked like. All I know is that I saw someone run across my yard and jump over the fence."

"Alright, we need to take shifts." Bolin said.

"I'll go first." Kuvira said.

"I can take Naga on a perimeter walk around the house and the general area." Korra said, taking hold of Naga's reins. "Mako, Bolin, you guys can take front and back doors. We'll rotate positions clockwise, okay?" They nodded in understanding and headed to their stations. "Kuvira, take Asami to her room. You're the last defense until we switch."

"Yes, ma'am." Kuvira said, mocking an army salute.

As Korra walked by me, Naga's reins in her hands, she smiled at me. "Don't worry. You know I'd never let anyone hurt you." She waggled her eyebrows, making me giggle. "They'll be long dead before I let them get to you."

"Just..." I wrapped my arms around her. "Just promise me you'll be careful..."

She laughed and hugged me back. "I think you're overreacting a bit. It was just one person. Nothing to worry about." She pulled back to kiss me and I instantly felt reassurance flood between us. After a second, she said, "I'll be fine, I promise."

"There might be more." I protested. "What if-"

Korra put her finger to my lips. "You talk too much." she said teasingly. She gave me another kiss, quick and chaste. It wasn't deep like the other ones we'd shared, but it was good enough. "I'll see you soon."

She continued out the door and I watched as she hopped onto Naga and rode off towards the gates.

That was the last time I saw her conscious.

Okay, I really really hate to tell bad news, but things have recently gotten slightly worse and, again, affects my writing greatly. I'm working my hardest to sort it out but I can't guarantee positive results soon. I'm sorry, guys.
