You run through the doors of the Pro-Bending arena, dressed in a lilac kimono with silver butterflies with your sketch book pressed close to your chest as well a paper bag. You had just arrived from riding Kida. Earlier this morning Korra had to come here and train with the Fire Ferrets her new team for the Pro-Bending fights.
Though you didn't have to join them in training you, had something you wanted to show them. Coming to a stop, you look down the hall to your left then to your right, trying to remember which way you needed to go. You had gotten use to just coming in through the window like Korra, but since she was part of the team, you where allowed to come through the front.
It was just you could not remember right now which way to go. Korra showed you twice. And now you had forgotten. Looking down both ends, trying to remember as best you could.
"This is..."you think about it, you cover your mouth with your book. Trying really hard to remember which way to go. Trying hard not to freak out. You stood there all alone in the middle in the long hallways. You hear a sound which scared you. Causing you make a peep sound. Turning around to find no one at all.
You hear a small squeak sound. Causing you to jump, as you scream. Tumbling over your feet as you fall down, the squeak sound happen again. You look and find Pabu there. Bolin's pet Fire Ferret. He stands on his hind legs looking at you, he squeaks again. Coming over to you, you smile softly at him.
"You scared me, Pabu."you giggle at how you reacted to this. Holding out your arm, he climbs up it. Resting on your shoulder. His whiskers tickle you, causing you to giggle again. He then looks to your right, showing you the way to go."Thank you."you smile at him again. As you walk down to where the others where, you step inside with a small smile on your face, but it faded when you felt something off in the room.
Only Korra and Bolin where in the was no where to be seen.
You look back at them worried and unsure what was going on."There you are Pabu, I wondered when you ran off too."Bolin goes over to you, Pabu squeaks at him. Bolin smiles at him, then looks down at you.
He gets down to your level. Evading your space causing you blush and look away. Pabu jumps on Bolin's shoulders, Bolin moves away from you. Standing back up"Kashi, want see Pabu do some neat tricks?"
You look back up at him, a bit confused."..."
Before you could give him a response he takes you silence as a yes. Quickly he takes hold of your wrist and pulls you with him.
"B-Bolin where are you going with Kashi"Korra yells after him.
"Don't worry she'll be fine."he tells Korra waving at her. He then runs off with you, forcefully following behind him.
She watches, not sure if she should follow you. She remember what Tezin told her, that if you went to the city you, she was responsible for you. He was serious about this. Exhaling hard, she hurries and run after Bolin. Coming outside to not find neither you or him.
"Great"she looks around.
Bolin takes you a spot infront of a statue where he sets up something for Pabu, putting him in a cute vest. While Bolin himself puts on a fake mustache a vest himself matching Pabu's.
He then sits himself down with a cup next to him, you stare up the statue. It was huge, and a bit scary. Other things soon caught your attention, causing you to look around. This place was noisy, with the cars going by, and others talking some praticing bending or doing bending. A few people bumped into you, without saying excuse me.
You grip your book tighter, and tighter. As you scoot back scared a bit. Watching everyone carefully. You didn't understand why you came. Or why you let Bolin take you with him over here. And to top it off, Korra was no where to be found at all. She was not with you. Like your father wanted her to be.
Gripping your book tighter closing your eyes, but open them when you felt someone tug on the selvee of your kimono.
"What are you wearing?"a teen says, as he snickers at you with his friends.
"Yeah, who wears something like this."another one laughs at you.
They let go of your sleeve, causing you drop your head"Aww, look she's about to cry."Whats wrong little girl? Scared?"another one says laughing at you still.
You got scared, as you tighten your eyes more. Trying to block out their laughter, covering your ears. But their laughter still echoed in your mind.
Bolin who was still working with Pabu, and only got on coin from his little trick. Calls for you but didn't get a response. He then hears laughter, turning around. He finds three guys picking on you, while you stood close to the statue scared. He slams his hand down hard on the ground as he stands up quickly, narrowing his eyes at the thugs.
The three guys messing with you still kept laughing at you. Until Bolin, steps in the middle of them and you. He pushes one back, causing the others to stop laughing they look at him. Bolin stares them down hard, balling up his fists as well. Pabu comes to his side and hisses at the thugs.
They look at him, Bolin's eyes didn't move at all he was ready to take them on if had too. Seeing how fierce he looked. The thugs back away and leave.
Bolin still kept watching them, then turns back to you. He gets down to your level, he gentle touches you.
"Kashi, it's ok."he tells you in a low voice.
Pabu squeaks at you, as he goes and stands up on his hid legs using his nose to get your attention. Which worked, you slowly open your eyes. To find Pabu looking at you twitching his nose.
You felt a hand on your shoulder, looking it was Bolin. He smiles at you warmly"Hey, their gone now."he tells you standing up, he holds out his hand for you to take.
You slowly take it, he helps you stand up. He still kept smiling at you, making you slightly blush as you look down. He noticed this, when something else caught his eyes. He picks something up. It was your book. Opening it, he sees the different designs and drawings you had.
"Wow, you did all this?"he asked you.
Realizing what it was he was holding, you see him with your sketch book. He looks at it, you got embarrassed.
"Neat, new costumes."he smiles at you.
You pull on your fingers a bit, that was what you wanted to show everyone. Since you meet the Bolin and his brother, and since Korra became part of their team you wanted to do something. So you thought of different designs for them as well new outfits.
Bolin finishes looking at them he hands you back your book, which you gently take back. Still not looking at him, he cocks an eyebrow at you.
"You ok?"he asked you stepping to you, causing you freak out a bit, that you move back only to hit the base of the statue. He chuckles at you softly."Come on Pabu. We've got a show to do."
Pabu follows him, Bolin goes and sits down. He then noticed Pabu dragging something in his mouth. Bolin takes it from it. It was the little brown bag you had brought for the group, it had a silver ribbon on it like the one in your hair.
Bolin opens it up to find goodies, he smiles taking one out as he eats one."These are good"he says through a swallows"Thanks"
You smile at him warmly, as you go and sit down by him. Pabu had one of your snacks in his mouth. Once he was doing eating it, he goes and hops on the end of the stick.
"...Bolin"you call to him.
"Hm?"he looks at you.
You bite the bottom of your lip thinking what you needed to say over in your mind."...I-I can make food you and Mako...so...so you guys don't have to worry about food. I don't mind...taking care of your home."
You tell him looking at him, you had a sincere look on your face. He smiles at you, after he told you on the way here about him and his older brother's life. And why they needed to make money for their team. Feeling bad about how they grew up, you offered what you could do. You look at him still, as your grip tightens on what was in your hands. Bolin winks at you.
"Sure"he tells you, then looks down you do as well. To realize that you where gripping the top of his hand, with your own.
Quickly you take them off, looking away with a slight blush. Bolin just smiles, turning around. When a car pulls up. The driver rolls down the window.
"Hey Bolin"the man in the car calls out to him, Bolin and you look up."Is that you?"
"Oh, hey there Shady-Shen"Bolin greets him with little ethuishim in his voice.
Shady steps out his car"Heard your big time Pro-Bending player not bad."he says to Bolin walking over to the three of you.
The guy then sees you, he gives you a wink. Not like the one that Bolin gives you. You turn to Bolin"Bolin...who is he?"you ask.
"...Someone..."Bolin tells you, he then looks back at Shady"Uh, thanks"
"So look, I got an offer for ya"Shady tells him"Lighting Bolt Zolt is looking to hire som extra muscle."
"Uh, I don't know Shen"Bolin tells him"Mako told me to stay away from the Triple Threats."
"Tsk, your brother ain't the boss of you"Shady tells him"Just a little sercuity work"he digs in his jacket"Nothing crocked"and pulls out a bundle of money, tossing it into Bolin's can. Causing Bolin to freak. Shady smiles"You game. You do this job"he looks at you with certian smile"You can even afford something for your girl here. Unless she wants i-"
Bolin stands up getting inbetween you and Shen."Bolin?"you stand up behind him. Looking at him a bit worried. He then turns around to you with his normal smile. Just as you where about to say something he holds up a finger to your lips.
"Kashi, why don't you go back to the Temple. I know Korra or your dad is going to wonder where you since you didn't go back with Korra."he tells you.
"...Bolin...whats going on?"you asked him concerned.
He could see it in your eyes. Shady smirks at this, he comes over Bolin putting his hand on his shoulder"Don't worry doll, he's going to be just fine. Nothing to worry your pretty little face about."he makes a clicking sound.
Before Bolin could say anything, Shady guides him away from you and Pabu, they both get in the car driving off. You watch him leave, still worried. You knew something wasn't right. Bolin looks back at you, he slumps down after seeing the look on your face.
Evening came, Korra was back at the island practicing her air bending. You hadn't come back, though she informed Tezin you where with Bolin and Pabu. As she was practicing Mako came to the island to ask if she had seen his younger brother. To which Korra told him no, she then looks and did not see you. She asked him, to which he told her he had not seen you at all.
Neither of them had seen the other, they waste no time to go and find Bolin and you. Leaving the island quickly.
They make it to the city, where Mako gets information about Bolin's whereabouts, as well Korra gets some news on you. The kid told her that they had seen you, with Pabu. Watching Bolin drive off. After standing there for sometime, you went after him.
This news was not good for either Mako or Korra. Using Naga, her four legged best friend. They hurry up to track you and Bolin down. Soon they come across Pabu, but there was no sign of you at all. Naga follows Pabu who leds them to where Triple Threat Triad's headquater was. Korra not caring how to do this, only you where on her mind. She bust down the door. To find the place empty, until they hear two things. Motors and a scream.
Korra bust down the door for outside as she and Mako go outside to see a truck along with his little brother inside followed a few others and people in weird costumes in the truck as well on motorcycles. The truck drives off, Korra and Mako run after it only to have gas bombs thrown at them which emitted green smoke allow the others to escape.
Waving the smoke out of her way, Korra steps forward, only to trip. She turns to see who it was to surprise to find you down on the street out.
"Kashi!"she hurries to you, Mako hears her screams as he sees you too. He goes over to you. Korra picks you up as she shakes you a bit, calling out to you worried and scared.
You had a few marks on your face, your hands looked dirty. She kept calling out to you, though she got no sign of movement from you. Her heart dropped, as she held back her tears. She holds you body in her hands as her grip on you tightens.
Pabu comes over to you, he climbs on you, going to your face. He licks your wound and nose, calling out to you.
Korra looks at you, when slowly you started to show life again. As your eyes open slowly, looking up you see Korra and Mako.
Korra smiles at you"Kashi."you sit up slowly, grabbing your head which causes you winch in pain."Are you ok? What happen?"she asked you.
"...Bolin!"you pay no attention to her question for you."Where's Bolin?! Those people they took him!"
"We know"Mako tells you.
"We have to after him."you tell him.
"Kashi your in no condition to do anything."Korra tells you, you stand up only to fall back down, since your leg was hurting as well. You look and see a big bruise on it. Korra sees it too. She gives you a stern look"Your going to have to stay, we'll handle this. I've got to get you to some place safe."
She picks you up, looking around she didn't see anything."We don't have time for this!"Mako tells Korra"Just let her come. We have to get Bolin."
"Mako, she's injured badly. We ca-"Korra
"We have to save Bolin"you agree with Mako"I'm fine. We just have to save Bolin."you pled with her.
She looks at you, sighing nodding her head"Alright, but stay on Naga."You nod your head, all three of your get on Naga.
She then speeds off tracking the scent of those who took Bolin. It didn't take long guys to catch up to the others. Mako uses firebending and Korra uses her earthbending to try and stop them, but they dodge it. Coming out into a open space, two of them on motorcycles stop as they throw something Naga which wrapped around her legs. Causing her fall, making you, Korra and Mako fly off her.
You hit the ground hard, adding more injuries to yourself then what you had. Korra waste no time standing up as she takes on one of them, while Mako takes on another. You watch as the truck leaves, wanting to follow it, you hear Naga grunting. Turning you hurry and help her.
With both your help as well Pabu, you free Naga. Who lifts you up on her, then charages at the ones fighting Korra and Mako who where about to do the last strike. They quickly retret.
Korra stands up as she bends, but nothing happens."I can't bend!"she was shocked at this, as she tries again"I can't bend."
Mako stands up"Calm down, it will wear guys are Chi blockers. Their Amon's henchmen"
"Amon? That anti-bending guy the one with the mask"Korra
"He's the leader of the Equalist."Mako tells her
"What do they want with the Triple Treats?"Korra asked him.
"Whatever it is, it can't be good."Mako"Tsk...I can't believe Bolin got himself into this mess."
"Mako...We're going to save your brother, I promise you that."Korra reassures him. You listen to her, your eyes drop, feeling regret."Come on"
The three of you with Pabu get back on Naga, who goes and searches the city, but still got no trace of Bolin or the others at all. Your eyes drop even more, as you wipe your eyes. Pabu rode on your shoulders. You kept playing back in your mind, Bolin before he left. When he gave you a reassured smile.
After searching for him, Korra got an idea. She went to the park. Explain to Mako how when she first got into town she meet a anti-bender protester. Seeing that was the best lead you three camp at the park.
While Korra and Mako sat on the same side, on the other side of Naga. With your knees curled up to your chest. Tears slowly ran down your face. If only you could have stopped Bolin for going, you tried to when you found him at the Triple's headquarters. But when those others attacked, you only got pushed aside hard. Only to have Korra and Mako come to get you.
Gripping the sleeves of your kimono, you hide your face to stop yourself from crying. But the other two heard your cries.
"Kashi"Korra calls to you, you look up and see her and Mako.
You look at Mako more so"I'm so sorry."you bow your head at him deeply"I'm sorry I didn't stop him going with that man. I'm sorry for not being able to help when the equalist came and took him. Please forgive me. I-I..."you grip the grass as your tears water it. Pabu comes over to you, he kisses you with his noise.
Mako, looks down at you. Just a Korra was about to say something. He gets down to your level as he places an hand on your shoulder. Making you stop, you look up at him. He understood, you hug him tightly crying in him.
Morning came, Mako and Korra woke up leaning on the other, much to their surprise, you where suppose to between them. Looking they found no sight of you, Pabu was looking around for you. Korra looks at Mako, who looks at her well. When the protester was heard.
Finding their way to where Amon's secret meeting was being held, Korra and Mako make their way inside. To find so many people there, they both stayed togather. Soon Amon came out, everyone cheered for him, he starts to talk about his life and bending as well how he can take it away.
Soon Amon's people came out with four others, three where members of the Triple Triad's. Each one was tied up. Amon told his people that if Lighting Zolt could bet him, he could go home free. Lighting took up the challenge, he used his bending on Amon who easly dodged each attack, he then knocks Lightning on his knees. And then does something to him, causing him to slightly scream.
Lighting gets up, and attempts to bend. But he couldn't. His bending was taken away, soon Amon started to take the two bending. And it was finally the last persons turn which was Bolin. Bolin tried to talk his way out of it.
But Amon did not listen, just as he was about to go to him."No! Stop it!"you yell as you push your way through the crowd, you get up on the stage, tripping but stand up. Getting infront of Bolin and Amon.
"Kashi?!"Bolin was surprised to see you.
You had your arms out to protect Bolin, you look at Amon, scared but you still stood your ground"Don't hurt him..."
Amon stands there as he looks at you, his eyes felt like they where piercing your soul. He turns to the crowd of people"Look ladies and gentlemen..."before you knew it. Amon quickly in a flash grabs you by your wrist, and since you where smaller then him.
He holds you up by your wrist, his grip tightening around it, and gravity was not in your favor right now either. He holds you over the crowd. Their look of hate scared you, you felt Amon's grip either slip of tighten"Leave her alone"Bolin yells at him, just as he did a huge explosion came, shaking the place.
Everyone screams, as a huge amount of steam comes out. People started to run out"Drop her!"some yells to Amon. Who quickly drops you down off the stage, you land hard on the ground. As you quickly cover yourself and scoot to the stage as others ran out.
A few hit you, you then felt someone grab you by your wrist. They pull you up, you thought it was Mako but it was Amon. He quicky holds you by the collar of your kimono.
He stares at you, sending a chill down your spine. Your eyes grow wide with fear, he moves you closer with only centimeters away from his mask. He just stares right into your eyes. Your whole body seem to just shut down, as you felt cold sweat dripping from you.
"..."Amon"...You"was all he said, before he then throws you down hard dodging a fire blast at him. You hear something crack, though you where not sure.
Pain shot up from your body"Kashi"Bolin calls to you, he quickly picks you up, carefully though. Leaving with his brother. You had to hang onto his back as he took you down the ladder. Only for Amon's second in command to come and electric the ladder sending volts through your body and the brothers.
They jump down, Bolin quickly finds a place to lay you do. He goes and engages the man in combat only for him and his brother to be beaten.
You watch this, unable to do anything."No, no please stop it!"you yell at the man, as you pick up a stone and throw it at him.
It caught his attention, he turns to you."Your time of bending is over"he tells you as he turns on his electric batons. Just as he was about to strike you, earth came and hit him back away from you.
It was Korra"Don't count us out yet, we're just getting started."she tells him, she then hurries over to you."Kashi"she looks at you worried, she sees the condition you where in. She then calls for Naga who comes running. Picking you up in her arms, she jumps on her friend. Mako follows and Naga picks up Bolin in her mouth by the collar of his shirt. As she races off.
With all of you unaware of eyes watching, though certain eyes where on you.
Naga makes it back to the Pro-Bending Arena. Where Korra drops off the brothers. She would have stayed but she had to get you back to the island quickly, you did not look good at all.
She reaches it, as she yells for Tezin. Who looks"Kor-"he sees you in her arms, in your current condition."Kashi!"he races to you, Korra lets him take you out her arms. He looks down at you, all beaten. He waste no time to ask what happen, he just runs off with you quickly. All Korra could do was just watch him. Feeling remorse and guilt.
