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 Nine: Don't Give In
"Lying next to me I fear,
She beckons me
Shall I give in?"
"So, how far are you along?" Bolin asks Korra. They had just finished eating and were taking a walk in the park. The sun fillered through the trees, leaving patterns of shadows and sunlight on the ground.
"About four months." Korra replies. Suddenly; she stops walking, and leans on a tree. Bolin moves toward her, his face full of worry.
"What's wrong?" He asks, his voice full of concern.
"Nothing," Korra looks up at Bolin and grabs his hand, "feel it." His hand is placed under her sash and on her belly. And then Bolin feels it. It this little flutter under his hand, but it's there. Korra's eyes shone with happiness. Just as soon as it began, it was gone. Their moment was interrupted by a dark-haired girl crashing into them. She had light gold eyes with spots of caramel shining through. Her hair was dark yet; it had light streaks in them and was pulled in a braid. Her eyes widened when she got a good look at them. Bolin inwardly cringed, 'What if she recognized us? Korra is under disguise, but what about me?' The girl look excited, like she wanted to meet them there. Bolin was now worried. He was very, very worried. Korra merely raised an eyebrow at the girl.
She held a sealed envelope to Korra –who was very confused— and ran off in the other direction. Korra opened the envelope. She pulled out a piece of heavy card stock paper, printed with designs of books and fairies. She unfolded the paper and read it out loud.
"I helped her , I helped Anica." Korra read, then looked up to Bolin, confusion written on both their faces.
"Is that it?"
"No, there's more. It says 'From Gwen Hua' Do you know her?" Korra passed the paper to Bolin, who examined it.
"No, but the name sounds familiar." Korra placed the paper in a hidden pocket in her sash.
After the incident, Korra and Bolin continued to walk. Their conversation strayed from topic to topic. A sudden question popped up in Bolin's mind,
"What are you going to name the baby if it's a boy?"
"I don't know. But it will be a girl. I know it" Korra says with certainty. The look on her face says 'Are you serious?'
"Did you feel that kicking? It will so be a boy."
"No! It will be a firebending girl!"
"And you know that how?" Bolin questions as they step out of the shaded part of the park. The bright spring sunlight makes his green eyes squint.
Korra taps her first fingers on each of her temples and says "Avatar intuition," then she places them on either side of her belly, "mother's intuition. I can practically see the future Bo."
"Oh sure you can." In a mocking tone Bolin adds, "Oh wise Avatar, tell me my fate!"
Korra slaps his shoulder lightly, "Oh stop."
"Make me." Bolin teases, both laughing lightly. "Not even you or Chief Beifong, or even Tenzin could." He adds.
Korra's eyes widen, "Bolin how long have we talking here? I have to get back to Tenzin and my parents!"
Bolin mentally slaps himself, 'How could I have forgotten!'
"Bye! I'll call you when we can meet up again!" Korra promises Bolin as they hug. Then she runs off toward the Ferry to reach Air Temple Island. Unbeknownst to them, the black-haired Sato heiress saw the whole exchange.
The Next Day
Narook's Seaweed Noodlery
"So Bolin, I saw you hanging out with a girl yesterday."
"What?!" Bolin spites out his drink on Mako after hearing the startling question.
"Thanks Bo, that was really refreshing." Mako—deadpanning at the moment—says. Bolin, who was very embarrassed, shakily hands Mako a napkin.
"I have to say... she was quite pretty. Where did you meet her? Tell me all about her" Asami was confused about Bolin's reaction, but she brushed it off.
Right then, Bolin was regretting Asami's invitation to 'Check up' at Narook's. Apparently, they hadn't talked or seen each other in 'ages', really this was the first time they had seen one another in a week. Not much had changed. Although, Mako was more brooding and sulky than normal. But things were the same for Asami, she was still as fabulous as usual. After her break-up with Mako, she remained friends with him. Things were awkward at first, but they fell into a steady friendship. But that was one of the least things to cross Bolin's mind. He chastised himself for not being more careful with his meetings with Korra. So far, he had manged to keep the meetings hidden and not spill Korra's secret. 'Would I spill it now?'
His brain scrambles to come up with something, anything.
"You mean Kenna?" He lies, relived that he manged to come up with at least something.
"Yeah! Where did you meet her?"
"We met... at..." Asami sticks her face out a bit more to say 'go on...'. Bolin prays to the Spirits that he will be able to get out of this one. "We met on Air Temple Island. She's an Air Acolyte. We're not dating... or anything like that. Kenna's a good friend."
"I don't remember any Air Acolyte like her." Mako states, questioning Bolin's answer.
"Well... she was new. And plus, you never talked to any of them. You wouldn't remember her anyway." Bolin counters back; specking a bit too fast. "I have to use the bathroom" He sputters nervously.
Mako wonders why Bolin was on edge and so nervous about. It was like he was hiding something or someone. Truth be told, Mako knew there was no Kenna. Kenna was a Water Tribe name.
"Thanks for inviting me Asami. I have to go now" Mako decides that a walk in the Park will clear his mind. He passes some yuans to Asami as pay for the meal and exits the restaurant.
One month later
"Korra are you sure you can handle Ikki and Jinora?"
"Yes Pema. I can take care of them! Don't worry, the Avatar is watching over them. What could go wrong? We're just going though the Market Place and we'll be back in... two hours tops." Korra smiles.
"Okay." Pema turns around and calls for Ikki and Jinora. They wave their good byes on the Ferry and they are off to the Mainland. Korra looks out onto the water. Being so near its presence calms her. She turns back to Ikki and Jinora. Ikki was riding an air scooter back-and-forth on the ship's deck; while Jinora was sitting peaceful reading a highly erotic romance novel. (Korra wondered where and how she got that book and why her parents let her read it. ) Korra waterbends Ikki toward her using a waterwhip. Once she has Ikki close to her, Korra says, "Okay guys, you have to stick close to me. If you get lost, stay where you are and I will find you. Understood?" Korra tries to make her voice soft, but commanding. 'How does Pema do it?' she wonders.
"Yes!" Ikki brightly states, while Jinora nods solemnly. It wasn't long before they reach the Main Land.
The sights and smells of the Market Place overtake Korra. To her right she could smell the aroma of stewed sea-prunes. On her left, the spicy hot foods native to the Fire Nation fill the air. She grabs both girls hands while hold her bag. She could hear various conversations and words. People shouting to others, haggling over prices and to draw attention to their wares. Korra takes out her list and goes to a certain stall to buy their rice. Ikki tugs on Korra's hand, asking her to buy trinkets and baubles from nearby carts. Jinora looks at everything taking in all the details. After a while( any many items bought later.), Korra notices that the girls have been very good, so she decides to get them each a treat. They walk to a stall selling candy. Korra looks over each of the treats, as she does; she fails to notice that Ikki slips her hand from Korra's and Jinora follows her. Trying to get her sister back.
"So Jinora, Ikki which one do you wan—'' Korra turns around, Ikki and Jinora were gone! Her heart begins to race with runs back to the stall they were at, looking in a frantic for them. After passing stall after stall, she finds them. They were talking to a tall man, wearing a police badge. He had spiky black hair and he wore a red scarf. This was the last thing that Korra wanted to have happened.
DUN DUN DUNNN! What do you think will happen next?!
