Chapter 11

KORRA POV

I cried. For the first time. I had never cried about anything or anyone. Until now. First the whole Avatar thing, me dying and then when I thought things would become better, Sokka revealed to be Mako. Mako, the one I like and might even be in love with, the one I had to kill. How could he do this to me? How could he make me feel so good and now so bad? He was one of the few people I had let into my heart and he broke, and that is put softly. He broke it, pulverized it, ran over it, threw it away and then broke it again. I am so angry with him right now. I feel like I want to kill him, what I have to do later. And at the same time I want to abort the mission, kiss him breathless and then run away with him and start over again. I suddenly remembered what Aang had told me. 'things might not be as they seem to be.' He had tried to warn me and I was so stupid not to think about what he said. Could I have avoided this dilemma? I probably could but it was too late. I ran home and locked myself in my room. I heard Asami entering the apartment but I did not feel like talking to her.

THREE DAYS LATER

MAKO POV

Korra hadn't come yesterday. I had briefed the other three about what their tasks were gonna be. All they was nod, except Asami. She actually wanted to know everything there was to know. We talked for a long time before I finally had the courage to ask about Korra. Asami had told me that Korra had not come out of her room. Asami also told me that every time she listened she could hear her crying and when she asked if Korra wanted to talk she was sent away. The conversation made me feel like there was something else that made Korra upset and not only me lying to her. Korra just didn't seem to me like the person who could cry for days all because of a lie. Asami gave me their address and asked me to come today and that is why I am here now, in front of their apartment. I had to talk to Korra. I knocked at the door. No one answered. Asami had gone out with Bolin and I hoped that Korra would open the door, only problem is that she didn't. It was time for my criminal talents. I started picking the lock and it did not take me that long to get the door open. Their apartment was nice, it was certainly nicer than mine. I walked around till I saw a door locked, I figured it must be Korra's room. Knowing that she wouldn't let me in if I asked I decided to enter without asking. I was desperate to talk to her.

KORRA POV

I had already heard the door open and I thought it was Asami coming home. I definitely did not expect Mako to be here. He entered my room and I saw him in the corner of my eye. I simply ignored him and pretended to be asleep, it could work because I was already under the covers in bed. I should have known that Mako would not buy it for he just removed the covers, picked me up and carried me towards the living room. He sat me on the couch and I remained there, quietly. I had no interest in listening to his apologizing. For a moment I thought of killing him right then and there but something stopped me. I did not know what, maybe it was Aang or another previous Avatar. Or maybe love? No, impossible. I have no feeling for Mako anymore, he is dead to me and in a few weeks he will also be dead for the rest of the world.

MAKO POV

I should have thought this through. I had her here and now it was my time to explain things and apologize only I did not know how. I had messed up by lying to her, she had to find out when I made myself public and not by me telling her myself. I felt bad for doing that but I simply did not find the right time to tell. I kneeled in front of her and hold her hands. I was gonna beg her to forgive me and I hoped she would take me back, it might sound strange but for someone I had only known for such a short time I had the feeling that she was the one and I was not gonna let her go. "Korra, I am so sorry for what I have done. I should have told you who I was but I was afraid. People do not like me that much, you understand that right? I had to use a fake name, also to protect you. I have a lot of enemies you know and they might hurt you. You have to understand, I would not be able to live if you did not forgive so please do. Please, please, please? I am begging you here on my knees. I do not want to lose you. You're too precious to me. I feel so alive and loved when I am with you. Don't you feel that too? Korra, please give me a second chance. Please?" This was it, this was the moment that would decide if I could continue a happy life or if I would live further regretting that I ever joined the triads.

KORRA POV

I listened to him while he poured out his soul. He did not say it literally but I could hear throughout his whole speech. He loved me. And I thought I loved him too. So I did not know exactly why but I forgave him the minute he took my hands. I knew it was the wrong decision and that I would feel pain later on but at this moment I just wanted to be with him and feel happy. He was looking at ground, hoping for me to forgive him. I reached out and raised his head, his eyes met mine and at that moment I felt complete. I lowered myself on the ground in front of him. My eyes full with forgiveness, he saw and we both leaned in for a kiss. It was magical and I hoped that it would last forever. But also knowing that it wouldn't.
