Let Me Go and Don't Try to Fix Me
"Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello I am the lie living for you so you can hide"
Chapter Six: Of Dreams and Nightmares
"Stay low.
Soft, dark, and dreamless,
Far beneath my nightmares and loneliness."
Air Temple Island
Korra's Room
One Week Later:
The Avatar has seen many things in her life time, many strange and odd things, but never once in her life time did she ever witness her father faint. When he woke Korra and her Mother, Senna, had to waterbend him to wall because he wanted to, "Beat the bending out of the fire rat who had knocked up his little girl." Korra was so glad and relieved that her parents had accepted her, before she was so terrified that they would turn her away, but they didn't. Korra shifted in her bed trying to gain some more comfort. Her lower back was aching and was so stiff. "Would Mako give good massages?" She wondered.
Korra tried, she really did try to stop thinking about Mako. But she help but wonder, "Would he care?" She always told herself that he wouldn't and she was better off without him, but what if her child needed him? What would she do then? Korra pushed those thoughts away and hugged her pillow, as if that would help her sleep. "One more sleepless night!" After awhile, her eyes closed and finally she fell to rest...
Korra found herself in bed, she opened her eyes and turned on to her right side. There was a great deal of empty space, along with an indent, as if someone else spent the night in her bed. At the edge of the bed was a little girl,who couldn't ave been more than five. Her sightly pale face was resting on her hands as she looked up at Korra with big gold eyes. In them were tiny blue flecks. Her short dark brown hair was pulled up in a loose pigtail that was threatening to come undone any moment. The girl looks so familiar. There was thing about her that made Korra trust her so automaticly.
"Daddy says breakfast is ready." She said. "Come on Mommy, Daddy and I made your favorite" The girl, no her daughter, tugs on her hand and Korra stands up; she almost falls down when the girl grabbed her hand, runs toward the door.
"Slow down Kiddo!" She exclaims but still runs with the child anyway. They run down the stairs, and across a hall until they reach a kitchen. Korra stops at the doorway, while the girl runs to a man in pajamas.
"Daddy!" Is her happy shout as she hugs the man's legs.
He ruffles her hair and looks up to Korra, "And looks like Mommy decided that she wanted breakfast!" It was Mako, picking the child up and balancing her on his hip; Mako walked to Korra.
"Morning beautiful," he says as he puts his unoccupied arm around Korra.
"Morning to you too," she whispers into his neck, with her head facing the girl who puts her arms around her parents.
Korra wakes in the morning with silent tears streaming down her face as she saw a life that would never be.
Meanwhile, in Mako's Room:
Mako tossed and turned, he was restless. The sun was filtering thought the curtains, but it went unnoticed by the firebender.
He was running through a deep fog. There was a small child up ahead, Mako followed her. He didn't know why he was but, it was like he had some sort of connection to her, like he had to protect her. Mako had only ever felt that connection with his parents and Bolin. After what seemed like an eternity, Mako found himself outside the door of Korra's room. The girl opened the door and ran in, leaving Mako alone. He walked toward the door and opened it, but he was hesitant. A part of him was telling him to turn away and never come back. But the other part, the stronger part willed him to step in, so Mako did. The room was empty, save for the little girl crying on the bed. She had pale white skin, and dark brown hair. Tears poured down her face from big gold eyes. Mako swore that she looked just like a younger, pale-ish, gold-eyed Korra. He walks closer toward her, but the girl takes no head of him. He is just a foot away from the bed when the girl's head snaps up. Her eyes widen. Mako can see that in her big gold eyes, there are flecks of blue. He is just about to ask if she is alright when; she asks in a small, broken voice,
"Why don't you want me Daddy?" She looks so small and weak, Mako wants to hold her and make her stop crying. But part of Mako wonders "Why does she think I her father?" Then he is running again, his vision begins to blur and grow hazy. Everything turns black. And he's falling and falling...
Mako opens his eyes. He is thrusting down into a warm, tight space. Moans of pleasure came from beneath him. He was kissing a tan-skinned neck. His grunts only added to the sounds of skin slapping against skin,and moans. She panted his name, and it grew louder with each thrust. He looked into a pair of big cerulean blue eyes. They were so close to their release and then...
Mako woke up, disgusted with himself. The latter of his dream, was one he had almost every night. The former, was not. Mako wondered why it was different this time. His eyes flickered over to his nightstand. On it, was a book. The book was worn, the pages slightly yellow with age and the binding was coming off. The book was one his mother used to read to him and Bolin. (It wasn't the exact same one, Mako had bought it some weeks ago at a used bookstore. The only place that carried that book.)
The memories were as faded and old as the book, but if Mako closed his eyes; he could still hear his mothers voice reading the passes that lulled him and his brother to sleep. It was called 'Dreams ,Oh What they do' . Oddly enough, the book was no child's story. It just explained the meanings of dreams and the things they represent. But Mako's mother made up tales to go with each chapter. She would read a chapter and make up a story to go with it. His mother never got to finish the book. Mako opened it the last chapter, the one his mother never read. He read...
Dream, Oh What They Do...
Chapter 10: Memory Dreams
Manly, dreams are fuzzy and hard to remember.
Although there are few that are as clear as day. Those dreams can be one of two things, Prophecy Dreams or Memory Dreams. Prophecy Dreams (as stated in Chapter nine) are dreams that foreshadow the future. Those dreams are rare and manly happen in those who are about to go through a difficult time in their lives. They are not always accurate and those who have them go thought stages of great depression as their lives are not what the dreams have showed them. The Dreams are merely what may happen or what could have happened. Some times, they show a person who will be in their lives, in that case, the dream must be taken seriously and the dreamer must expect to see that person. Memory Dreams are dreams the reveal lost memories. Some people see their died family members, other see their childhood. In some cases, the can reveal what happened when a person is intoxicated. These must be taken seriously as they are resurfaced memories. And memories don't come back with out a reason. If the same Memory Dream is recurring, then the dream is a message given by the sub-conscious, and is of up-most importance. The Dream is not just a dream it is not just a long forgotten memory it is—
Mako sighed and put the book down. The rest of the sentence was hidden over a spill of ink. Turning his head to the clock, Mako saw that he was going to be late for his job at the Police Station. As he got ready, he could help but think one of two things, "What was the rest of the sentence?" and "What if that dream of Korra really happened?"
So there it is! I hope that you guys like it! Now besides any ideas on what you think will happen next... what do you think the rest of the sentence is(The Dream is not just a dream it is not just a long forgotten memory it is—)? Virtual cookies and cake will be given to the first person who gets it right! ;)
So tell me what you think!... And tell me your idea!
Also... about the squeal, I am not going to do it as a new Story, it is going to be in this one. So there will be a happy ending! :)
