Chapter Seven
A Sister Just Knows
Kanna tossed and turned in her sleep, nightmares filled with the screams of her loved ones causing her to gasp and sit up with a sob. Holding her hand over her mouth she tried to calm herself, not liking the feeling of dread that was settling over her like a blanket. Something is wrong… Where is Korra? Leaning her head against the wall she took a few calming breaths, listening to everything around her.
She could hear Asami's even breathing across the cell from her, Mako mumbling in his sleep about her sister, and she could also hear Bolin snoring and occasionally saying noodles. Smiling she shook her head and started meditating, remembering what she had heard Tenzin say to Korra about centering one's self and allowing everything to fall away and leaving yourself open to the universe.
After what felt like minutes, but was really hours, the door to Asami and Kanna's cell is ripped from its hinges. Beifong hurried the girls out then went to the boy's cell ripping the door away as Asami rushes past her and throws herself into Mako's arms.
Kanna rolled her eyes at the two and shuffled her feet, they needed to get going, something was wrong, she could just feel it. "Can we hurry this up? I have a very bad feeling something's happened to Korra."
"You're feeling is right. According to the radio your sister was taken captive by the Equalists sometime last night. We need to hurry; we have an Avatar to save." Beifong said, absentmindedly metalbending Bolin's fly up, causing the poor guy to blush crimson.
Hurrying out the group met up with Tenzin on Air Temple Island, worry etched on all of their faces. As they discussed where Korra could be Bolin commented on remembering riding through a tunnel when he was kidnapped himself. With this information the group quickly went to where Mako had seen the Equalists take Bolin. Beifong used her seismic sense abilities to discover an underground tunnel not far from there.
Kanna slung her water skin across her back, glad to have it with her again, hating the powerless feeling she had without it. Keeping close to Lin and Tenzin she silently prayed that Korra would be alright. Keeping her senses open she overheard Asami asking Bolin about Mako's feelings for Korra and how Bolin stumbled over his answer, not wanting to hurt Asami's feelings. In an attempt to cheer Asami up, he said that Mako and Korra's kiss probably meant nothing, and that he had been able to overcome it as well, which of course really didn't help.
The sounds of motorcycles can be heard getting closer to them, Beifong tells them all to hide and they jump into the shadows. Watching them go by they see an entrance open up in the wall, after Beifong figures it out she Metalbends the lock then earthbends the door open.
Hiding, they overhear an Equalists mention the prison cells, after jumping off of a tram. The group assumes that's where Korra is being kept and they get on the tram and head down yet another tunnel on it. As the tram nears the tunnel exit they jump off into the shadows, leaving two guards to wonder why it's empty. From the darkness of the tunnel Beifong takes them down. Lin once again uses her radar technique and locates her men.
Kanna along with Bolin and Asami are told to stay behind while Mako, Tenzin and Lin go ahead. Sighing Kanna started pacing, watching the spot where the others had been as she waited for them to come back. What if Korra's not here? What are we going to do? She thought to herself, wearing a hole in the floor with her pacing.
After what seemed like forever Lin, Mako and Tenzin show back up, alarms blaring Bolin urged everyone onto the tram as they tried to make their escape.
As the Equalists gave chase Bolin thwarted their advance by collapsing the tunnel with his earthbending, triumphantly calling out that they should try to "chi block that", and escaping along with the others through a makeshift exit.
All of them quickly made their way to City Hall, Tenzin calling all of the council members in. Tenzin thanks the other Councilors for meeting with them.
Kanna can't sit, still pacing as she processed everything she had learn since the prison break earlier that day. What the hell is going on around here?
Tarrlok walks in and Tenzin accuses him of taking Korra, Tarrlok of course looked at Tenzin like he was nuts. Tenzin says he planted the evidence but Tarrlok says that's ridiculous.
While Kanna's temper starts to flare, making her want to beat the truth out of Tarrlok, the admin guy that works in City Hall and sometimes with Tarrlok comes in and tells everyone he saw Tarrlok put Korra in his car. He says he didn't mention it earlier because Tarrlok is a Bloodbender and he was afraid of him.
As everyone turns an accusatory glare at Tarrlok he gets a crazed look in his eye and raises his arms, bloodbending everyone in the room.
Kanna screamed out in agony, the blood in her body feeling like it was full of razor sharp shards of ice, her body contorting from the unbearable pain. As she started to fade from consciousness she feels herself fall against something solid yet soft, the smell of earth and something purely masculine filling her senses before she succumbed to the darkness.
Groaning and holding her head Kanna slowly came to, feeling like she had just been hit by a boulder or something. Using one hand to push herself up she looked down at what she had landed on and blushed, quickly pulling her hand back and holding it against her chest. Somehow she had ended up laying on Bolin, shaking her head and looking around her she noticed the others starting to come to as well.
Bolin felt someone shaking his shoulder and could hear his name being called, opening his eyes and blinking he smiled goofily. "Hello beautiful, am I in heaven?"
Kanna blushed, a small smile gracing her lips as she shook her head, telling him about what had happened and helping him to his feet. "We need to find my sister; Tarrlok can't have a very far lead on us. We need Naga, she's a phenomenal tracker." Rushing out with the others Kanna hoped they wouldn't be too late to get to her sister.
Since they had been unable to find Naga they had to stick with searching on their own. Going to all of the places in town that Tarrlok could have hidden Korra.
Bolin was keeping Kanna close to him, with every passing hour she would get more and more depressed, a few tears leaking down her face when again their search would turn up empty. Wrapping an arm around her he reassured her that they would find Korra, wiping a stray tear from her cheek and smiling weakly.
Kanna tried to smile back but couldn't her worry for her sister making her want to rip the city apart to find her. She quickly brought her head up and looked around with wide eyes when a loud roar was heard. Naga! Could it be…?
Frantically running towards where Naga's roar had come from Kanna gasped when she saw her sister barely hanging onto the saddle, running forward and pulling Korra off, holding her close and crying about how worried she was. When Mako took Korra from her she glared at him, but sighed when she saw how worried he had been as well. Standing up Kanna smiled lightly when Bolin again wrapped his arm around her, allowing herself to rest her head against his chest.
When they arrived back at Air Temple Island, Kanna insisted that Korra go straight to bed, wanting her to rest after her ordeal. Once she was satisfied that Korra was going to listen. Kanna made her way outside.
Bolin followed after her, knowing exactly where she was heading. When he walked into the clearing the breath was nearly knocked out of him. Illuminated in the moonlight, her eyes closed as she stood there with her face turned to the sky, Kanna looked beautiful. As quietly as possible he walked towards her, not wanting to disturb the moment, but also wanting to be closer to her.
When Kanna opened her eyes she looked at Bolin in surprise, not having expected him to have followed her. "I thought you were still inside." She mumbled, wiping at a single tear that had fallen down her cheek. "I was just… enjoying the peacefulness out here…"
Bolin took another step towards her, smiling down at her slightly shaking form before pulling her into his embrace, holding her as she let all of the worries she had been carrying with her out, holding onto him like a lifeline. "Shh… it's alright. Just let it out… just let it out." He mumbled into her hair
When her tears had all dried up Kanna looked up into Bolin's kind green eyes, her own reflecting the moonlight as she smiled softly at him, so thankful that he was here with her. "Bolin, I-"
Bolin silenced her with a finger on her lips as he shook his head, a smile softening his eyes as he looked at her. From behind his back he pulled out a Moon Lily, it's pale blue petals glowing in the moonlight.
Taking the flower from him Kanna smiled down at it, a few happy tears gather in her eyes. Looking up at him again Kanna stood up on tiptoes, intending to kiss him on the cheek but at the last second he moved and their lips connected. A spark shot through her and she brought her hands up, one bunching in the front of his shirt while the other rested against his cheek.
To say Bolin was shocked would be an understatement, but at the same time he was happy beyond belief. Sighing into the kiss his arms circled her waist and pulled her against him, one hand coming up to tangle in her hair.
When they pulled away from each other their eyes were full of shy surprise and happiness, light blushes dusted across their cheek. Kanna of course was the first to look away, tucking a lock her hair behind her ear as her blush got even brighter.
Bolin turned her face back up towards his, a sweet smile on his face. "Don't look away from me Kanna." He mumbled while holding her cheek softly.
Kanna looked up into his eyes, wondering if he had felt the same thing she had in that kiss, if maybe, just maybe he liked her as much as she did him. "Bolin…"
Smiling Bolin leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her lips, answering her unasked question before pulling back, and caressing her cheek. Opening his mouth he was about to say something before Mako's voice reached them, calling out Bolin's name.
Kanna looked towards the entrance to the clearing, wishing Mako hadn't interrupted them. Sighing she disentangled herself from Bolin's arms, sending him a small smile before slipping away, the flower still clutched in her hand.
Quickly making her way to her sister's room she walked in without knocking, actually happy when she saw her sister hadn't listened to her advice earlier about going to sleep. "Korra, I really need to talk to you." She said, sitting down on the bed and staring down at the flower in her hand.
"What about?" asked Korra as she sat up, tilting her head as she took in her sister's appearance.
Kanna thought about how to say what she was thinking, finally letting it all blurt out. "Bolin and I kissed!" she said before blushing, her eyes wide.
Korra's face broke into a huge smile, pulling Kanna into a hug. "That's awesome!" she yelled, giggling when Kanna covered her mouth and told her to be quieter. "When did this happen?" she asked in a more subdued voice.
"Just a few minutes ago by the koi pond… He gave me this Moon Lily and I was so happy I reached up to kiss his cheek but ended up kissing his lips… there was this spark and I felt like I was floating and he was the only thing keeping me anchored down." Kanna said, mumbling the last part as she looked back down at the flower.
"Kanna… how did Bolin react?" Korra asked, wanting all the details, completely excited for her sister.
"He actually kissed me back, when we broke away I looked down, trying to get my thoughts together and he brought my eyes back to his and kissed me. All of those feelings came rushing back again…" pausing Kanna looked up with a soft smile, her eyes full of happy surprise. "Korra… I think… I think I might be in love with Bolin…"
