It's been a quiet couple of days... which means that you haven't been reviewing! Sooo I have a challenge for you (btw because of the lack, I have no fave reviewer L…Cause you all were good!) I challenge you, all of my followers/favouriters to REVIEW. AND I WILL BE CHECKING!
Onwards with my lovely story!
Chapter 4:
Can't you feel it in the air?
I can't believe Bolin told her that! I recognized those words when I said them to Bolin the night of the gala.
I strolled into the apartment after 11.
"Soooo, Bolin drawled, how was your date with Korra?"
"W-What? It wasn't a date!" I retorted
"Yeah I'm sure."
"Why would you even think that!?"
"Please, I can feel the tension in the air."
"Tension?"
"Sexual tension Mako."
"What? It's not like I create those awkward moments!"
"Well you seem to enjoy them." Bolin smirked
"I-I do not! It's just so complicated! What happened to the normally cool under fire Mako? Where did my cool demeanor go?"
"Well, I'm just guessing here, but he melted."
I blushed at that.
Bolin's POV
Mako focused his eyes everywhere but Korra during the walk to the Arena. She stole small glances at him through the corner of her eye. Can you just spell awkward? We walked by an alley and something moved in the shadows. Oh Great.
"Well well well, isn't it the all powerful Uh-vatar." A voice said
Korra growled and stopped walking. Oh wasn't this going to be fun.
Korra's POV
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a voice I hadn't heard in 9 years.
"Tahno . . ."
"Well aren't you all grown up now . . . . ."
"Tahno . . . . . what do you want?" Mako growled
"Oh, so it's a crime to say hello to an old friend?"
"We were never friends." I hissed
"You know him?"
"We went to the same waterbending training when I . . . . . ."
"when what?"
I sighed.
"when I came back to Republic City a year after I left."
I expected to get disappointed and hurt looks from them, so I just sighed.
"Yes. Yes I came back to Republic City before a couple days ago. I would've told you but I was only here for two days and it was strictly training . . . ."
Honestly, I thought I'd never see Republic City again. I was glad to be back, even if it was just for two days. The White Lotus was reluctant to send me here, so they told me I couldn't visit my parents or my friends. It would be like I was still gone to them. The area was partially hidden and I could see few people actually on the compound.. Because I only practiced earthbending in public, my waterbending was pretty amateur up until a year ago.
The driver stopped the car and I stepped out, only to be greeted by a man.
"Avatar Korra." And he bowed
I still wasn't a fan of the whole bowing so I just ignored him.
"Korra . . ." A stern voice called
I rolled my eyes.
"Yes Master Twai?"
Master Twai was my waterbending teacher along with Katara but she couldn't come. We started walking towards the building.
"I assume Katara taught you the basics?"
I nodded.
"And healing . . ." I mumbled
I wasn't a very big fan of healing. Like how is healing supposed to help you in a fight? What are you going to do, completely mangle them and then offer to fix their broken leg? I think not.
"Good, I want you to show me how you would deal with this . . ." And he led me inside to a huge training arena with dummies and sparring.
He faced me with a human dummy. He didn't look very nimble or aware that I could take him down in 3 seconds.
It started, but it quickly ended.
I swung my foot and the water slapped the side of his head and I froze it around his head, causing him to fall. Even from then, I lacked restraint. Master Twai just shook his head.
"Obviously this won't be a challenge for you. Maybe someone more equally matched in age and size."
"I have an idea . . . ."
After a while he went away and I just practiced my strength training for the rest of the day. UNTIL the next day.
I was forced to get up early and go train. I was sitting in a corner, entertaining myself with a small rock.
"Korra." Master Twai called
I looked up and saw him standing with a boy, no older than 8.
"This is my son, Tahno."
Ha-ha! I have mastered the ways of a cliffie! He he he I have mastered the ways of the cliffie So expect more in your future! Now, remember our little challenge, you don't?
