Okay so I had nothing to do today, so I decided to might as well type up this chapter and work ahead ^.^ I don't know if I will type up chapter three on Wednesday, but here is chapter two!
Chapter 2
Amon/Noatak:
Amon was feelings as powerful as ever. Everything was according to plan. He was standing on top of the city hall, morning breeze gently brushing his face. It was fall yet again and the leaves were turning auburn. If only it could stay like this forever.
"Sir, we have completed the paperwork you asked for." Amon turned around and saw one of his pupils standing there. Kavik was his name. He still hasn't worked out the nervousness in his grey eyes yet and hasn't grown out of his scrawny structure.
"Well, that's good" Amon cleared his throat and tried to look anywhere but at his were getting a bit awkward considering what had happened just a few months ago," you may go now". Kavik bowed his head and slowly walked away, as if he was carrying a boulder on top of his shoulders.
...
Korra:
Getting into the city was easier than she thought. There was no all out battle. There were no bloodbenders or policemen fighting. It was as if Noatak...or whatever he wants to be called, has never came back.
Should I just go back home?
Korra shook her head at this thought. No, she couldn't go back there. Not with all the somberness floating around, ready to attack at any mention of Korra's child. Korra had a dark red hat on and a black trench coat wrapped around her body. The weather in Republic City was summer compared to what the Southern Water Tribe was all year round, but Korra couldn't take any chances.
The first thing she had to do was find Mako, Bolin, and any others.
But where to look?
She thought about the arena, but it's unlikely. The jail seemed like a good idea, but it was risky.
...
IT wasn't easy. Sure she could've taken the front door, but nothing is that easy.
"Mako? Bolin?" she whispered harshly into the deep darkness of the jail. She shuddered at the coldness and hoped the sounds of her heart beating won't attract anybody. Rats scurried along the floor all around her feet. Korra had small flames on her palm to light the dank jail. Not alot of prisoners were in here, but an occasional prisoner would moan or give Korra a quick cat call.
"Lin?" She tried again.
Somewhere in the jail Korra heard her name being called. Korra immediately bolted to that direction. At last, in the deepest, darkest part of the jail, She found them...or at least, two.
"Bolin! Asami!" Korra couldn't be more glad to see their familiar faces.
"Korra!" Bolin had a big smile on his face while Asami was sleeping in the corner. The two have changed a lot. Asami's once beautiful mane has become long and frizzy. Her slender arms now stick thin. As for Bolin, he too has slimmed down quite a bit. His hair needs a trim and so does his beard. Both of their faces were dirty and so were their clothes.
"Is Mako with you?" Korra was shocked.
"Mako? What do you mean is he with me?" Bolin's grin dimmed a bit.
"I thought he was with you! You know, since he kind of escaped and all".
"He escaped?" Korra grabbed Bolin's shirt and pulled him close," where is he? "
"I don't know! When he managed to loosen of the bolts of his cell and leave. But before he did, he told me he will go to the Southern Water tribe to get you."
What?
"Bolin, hang on there, I-" Korra contemplated what she should do. Why did she even come here in the first place? She couldn't take them out with her. It's look suspicious. What should she do?
Go back to the water tribe? Get these two out now? No, get Lin out too..no.
"Hang tight Bolin. And tell Asami I'll get you guys as soon as I can, but right now..."Korra sighed," If I take you out right now, they'll get suspicious. If I can just find Mako and Tenzin's family, I'll come back for you and Asami" Korra turned to leave, but Bolin reached out and suddenly snagged Korra's coat.
"Wait!" Bolin had a desperate look in his eyes," You can't just leave me here again! It's hell in here...HELL I say! Please, Korra whatever you do, don't leave me in here" Korra didn't know what to say. She yanked her coat back and ran towards the exit. She heard Bolin scream at her back while she ran.
"Korraaaa! They'll come for you!" Goosebumbs trailed up her arm.
Got. To. Get. Mako.
It's ridiculous how she was in Republic City for no more than six hours and now she has to leave. Korra burst out the secret entrance of the jail (well, not literally burst out, more like crawled out) and looked around her.
Clear. Good.
She went to the dock where they were loading fish cargo onto a ship and was about to sneak on to the boat again until something grabbed her arm. Korra immediately whirled around and snapped at the attacker.
"Look buddy! I don't know who you think you are-" Korra was cut off when she saw from under her hat at his face.
"Why hello Korra. It's been a while" She could never forget that deep voice.
Shit.
...
Mako:
He looked out from the tea shop. It was almost time to get back to work and the little one will be needing him home soon.
It hasn't been easy settling down; it took forever to find a place to live and a job to support two people. But eventually, Mako managed to find this small Earth Kingdom town. It was really nice living here, though it was a huge difference from the always bustling Republic City.
...
When Mako entered his front door of the small apartment complex, the nanny was standing right there in front of him. He stood a full head above her.
"She was good all afternoon, slept like an angel" Her old face smiled kindly at him.
"Thank you for looking after her. I can't thank you enough-"
"Up bup bup!" the old nanny shushed him with a finger to his lips.
"Thank me all you want, but I will not accept any pay whatsoever. I am doing this from the goodness of my heart" the nanny slipped on her shawl and left after thanking him.
Mako shoo his head in disbelief. He will never understand that old lady. Mako went into his bedroom and looked into the tiny cradle next to his futon.
There slept the little one, her long dark eyelashes closed over her light blue eyes, a trait inherited from her mother. Mako smiled at the adorable sleeping baby.
There was no trace of Mako in the baby. Her looks were all unmistakably water tribe like; like her dark mocha skin and long wavy brown hair.
He whispered sweetly into the baby's ear,"Sleep well my Ezra".
...
Um, not much is said for this chapter. I though might as well type up this chapter today so I can party on Tuesday-Wednesday (birthday comin right up) So I hope you enjoyed that little dramatic chapter.
Please feel free to leave any suggestions and R&R!
