Yes. I am very sorry for the late delay. I go to college now and got a new boyfriend on top of that. Please, try to understand my situation here.
Silence.
Korra's heartbeat skipped a few.
Voices from others, turned out to be mute in her ears.
Silence was consumed by a broken promise.
Until, Mako raised his voice,
"SHE WAS WATERBENDING TO HEAL MY WOUND! AFTER THAT, SHE EARTHBENDED THE ENTIRE ROOF TO YUE'S BAY!"
The crowd began to gasp, in which it echoed throughout the Republic City.
His words felt like needles from pricking all over Korra's body, from head to toe.
Shit, this asshole blew my cover. If I ran, I would completely blow my cover.
For a bit, Korra stare at the pavement and then observe Mako. Although, he wasn't firebending, she can see fire in Mako's piercing golden eyes.
By keeping herself calm, she began to take a deep breath. Korra cleared her throat, " Sir, I assure you that you made a mistake-
Without hesitation, Mako tackled her to the ground; he was on top of her grabbing her arms as she squirms all over the place. The enormous crowd gasped as they see a prince tackling a young girl.
Waves of whispers were everywhere within the crowd.
"How awful!"
" This is why I hate Amon's royal family."
" Whenever benders try to do something good, it's automatically a crime."
" I hope the protestors do something against the royal family like that attack earlier.
Not only Mako broke Korra's promise but also he pushed her buttons.
Korra gritted her teeth and hissed, " YOU!" They rolled around the pavement. He was on top of her and she was top on him, the same aggressive pattern continued on relentlessly, trying to beat each other up
Mako lifted both Korra's wrist and held them by one hand. Then he forcefully, used his other hand to lift Korra's chin up. Mako butted his forward against Korra's forward, to stop Korra from squirming around. From nose to nose, he then declared a whisper" Don't play dumb with me, Avatar. I have been hunting you for years."
The chill of his voice crawled under Korra 's skin as her eyes began to widen with terror.
"AHHHHH!"
Out of nowhere, Mako yelped in pain and was dragged away from the fight with Korra. Mako stood up in air into a discomforting and backbreaking posture.
"How can you make such a foolish statement? The Avatar would probably kill you on the spot, not save you. This type of behavior is childish for a prince. "
As Mako screeched in pain, he barely made a peep "Amon…?'"
Amon slammed Mako onto the ground as bits of pavement flew off by the powerful force.
But Korra didn't kill me….and she's the Avatar.
After the whole fire incident, Mako and Korra fight, and Amon blood bending Mako; Asami and Bolin finally came to the scene to guide Mako back to his feet.
Gently, Asami placed her hand of Mako's shoulders, "Sweetie, you need to calm down. She is not the Avatar. I know your goal is to capture the Avatar but Korra is an earth bender."
"So you're Amon's side, Asami?" Mako snapped back. Asami ignored his question as she back away from Mako.
"Bro, I think the heat may have affected your mind." Bolin nervously replied as he carefully tries to communicate with his hot-tempered brother.
"Oh? Great. Not even my brother believes me. Are you calling me stupid?"
Mako felt like a fool, no one believed in him, not Amon, his younger brother Bolin, and his girlfriend, Asami.
"Bro, come on. Lets head back home, so you can rest. Asami brought a satomobile with her. It will be short drive. "
Mako collapsed out pain and sheer exhaustion. Before Mako face planted the ground, Asami and Bolin quickly grabbed Mako by his shoulders and guided him to the satomoblie.
A race of numerous thoughts rushed in Korra's mind. " So Mako is the prince of Republic City? This is his father? Amon?" Why is his father treating him like that?
A haunting voice began to interrupted her thoughts, "Korra."
Korra jolted by Amon's voice, " Huh?"
"It would be an honor for having you as guest at my palace for dinner. Care to join?"
"Ummmm…" Korra didn't expect this happen; this wasn't part of her plan especially having dinner with her enemy, who has Tenzin and his children as a hostage.
If I went to Amon's palace…I'm sure Tenzin and his children family are close by. It makes sense.
"Alright, I will humbly accept your request" Korra bowed down out of respect."
Amon replied back, " Excellent choice, Korra. We will be looking forward to our feast… oh Asami! Please take Korra with you!"
"You got it, Amon!" Asami responded from the distance.
Korra approached to Asami's satomobile and awed how unique her car was from the other satomobiles she has seen in Republic City. All of them were in the car, Asami was the driver, Bolin was playing with Pabu in the front, and Mako was taking two cars seats was laying down.
" Well, hop in! Unfortunately, you have to sit in the back with an unconscious prince."
"Oh goody… a seat right next to Mako!"
From the distance, Mako watched as the group slowly disappeared from the road.
Amon's Lieutenant creepily appears from the alleyway and bows for Amon.
"My lord, Amon, any news about finding the Avatar?"
" The Avatar is closer than you think, Lieutenant."
Out of confusion, the Lieutenant replied, " What?"
Amon ignored his question and slowly walked away from him.
Alone. Amon was walking ever so slowly. Sounds of his walking shoes echoed throughout the city.
Underneath Amon's mask, a wicked grin slowly began to form.
I will destroy you Avatar Korra, my plans for you have just started.
