A/N: I don't have much to say except to apologize for Mako acting OOC, but that is how I imagined he would act. Sorry. But besides that, enjoy.
Chapter Five: Secrets out.
He made me so mad, so angry, and so infuriated. Which may very well be his point. Mako, he wanted to know everything, and wouldn't even tolerate me till he did. So fine, I'll give him what he wants, and then when this mess is cleared up, I'll leave and never come back.
"My mother is dead, my farther left me, and I can bend two elements." I state, glaring at him. "I can chi block, steal, and disappear." I add, still angry. "And still you don't trust me after I told you secrets no one else knows? You want to know what I remember, what I know. News flash, I don't know why my mother died, and I don't know why my dad didn't care about me. I am just as much in the dark as you! I don't remember anything about my past, and everything I do is from questionable sources. So I looked and I searched and I did anything for a lead." I spat.
"And when the Equalists offered the one promising the one solid lead. I. said. No. I was afraid of them, so I said no. So there! Happy? I told you about my weakest moment, my most shameful choice. I was too afraid to look for my family. Now will you leave me alone!" I yelled, letting out all my anger and frustration from the past couple of days. Mako stood there looking stunned at my outburst, while I stormed away. I headed straight for my "room" and flopped down on the bed. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down and think of positives.
Sadly not many came to mind, but I tried to list them anyways. One, I am not in a cell, granted I am still under arrest, but not in a cell. Two, everyone but Mako seems to trust me pretty well, which is strange, but I'm not complaining. Three, really good food. Four, I can practice my bending, if Mako isn't there. But a loud knock interrupted my mental list, I am tempted to ignore it, but decide against that idea and open the door. Surprisingly there stood Tenzin, looking a little nervous.
"Hi." I say flatly.
"Hello Kida, might I come in?"
"Sure, it's your island." I deadpan. He clears his throat and walks in.
"Kida I have something to tell you." He says and I perk up, hoping for some good news, but not expecting what came next.
"Kida, I met your mother." Tenzin said.
"What!" I screech, a chipmunk probably just exploded right then.
"We, uh, we met in school." He says nervously.
"Is that why I'm…" I start.
"Yes, that is why you're here, and not at the police station where Lin would have dealt with you. You seemed very familiar but until you said your name was Kida, I didn't know who you were." And as an afterthought he added, "You look just like her."
"Then, you must know my farther." I say, almost hopeful.
"No, I never met you and your dad, just letters with Ayla."
"Thanks." I say, digesting this new information. Tenzin knew my mother; well that explains the abnormal treatment. I had never actually been arrested before, but stories were different than my lenient experience. Tenzin stood and left the room, I nod as he leaves. So what do I do now? I can't leave, not until The Chief decides if my information will pardon my "crimes." Still there is the problem of Mako and the others. Bolin, Korra and Asami were nice and would interact with me, but not Mako. Just because of a silly scarf. Maybe I should just ask. Least he could do was attack me. I yet again had my thought process interrupted with a knock. As I stand to answer the door I mutter, "Wonder why I am popular today."
"Hi." Bolin said sheepishly.
"Bolin, what do you want?" I state.
"Umm, to apologize. For my brother that is. He gets a little hot headed, though he usually is the smart one."
"Apology accepted." I say less stiff, why are they so nice? I am a 'Criminal.' So what's their game?
"Tenzin, and uh, us were wondering if you would like to join us for dinner." Bolin stammered.
"You know what, I might just do that."
A/N: Ta da! Good? Well review and tell me.
