It's been three day since the party, three days since Korra volunteered to join Tarrlok's task force. She was doing her fist raid tonight and I was on edge. I was spending the night with Mako; it gave me a sense of comfort. We were on his couch, I was lying on his chest and he had his arms around me. It the mist of all this worrying about Korra, the headaches got worse. Every time I worried about her, I got this weird dull thud in my head. Mako was playing with stray wisps of my hair.
"Thanks for letting me stay here tonight Mako."
"No problem, but I think you're worrying a little too much. Korra is a big girl she take care of herself." Mako said slightly chuckling.
"I know, but what if Amon is there? I feel like I should be there with her." There was a really hard thrash in my head when I said that. She does not deserve your help Kalani…I winced in pain. Mako stroked the back of my head, trying to sooth me.
"Kalani, look, you need to calm down. She'll be okay. You're worrying about this too much. Just be cool, she'll be okay." He smiled down at me.
"Okay…"
It's been two weeks since the raid, and it's all over the paper. Tarrlok and Korra took down a whole chi blocking class. Korra hasn't been home a lot, and she was she was exhausted. So we haven't spoken in a while. But today I reminded her that she had practice for the tournament, but she was half asleep when she said she was coming. She hasn't been to the last few practices. I was there with Mako and Bolin.
"Korra is not here again?" Bolin asked.
"I guess not." Mako said.
"She said she was coming, but I doubt it." I said. "She's been pretty stressed lately." We were listening to the radio and all of our heads turned when we heard Korra speaking to a reporter.
"Why is it taking you so long to locate Amon, Avatar Korra?" The reporter asked.
"Why? Because he is hiding like a coward! Amon if you can hear me I challenge you! No task force, no chi blockers. You verse me! Tonight at midnight on Avatar Aang memorial island! Let's cut to chase and settle this. If your man enough to fight me!" Bolin turned down the radio as Korra stopped talking. My head was buried in my hands. I got up quickly.
"Kalani, you okay?" Mako asked.
"How could she be so stupid?" I said throwing my arms up, making huge waves in the water left out for people to train. "I need to go speak to her." I said storming out of the arena.
As I got to the island, Korra was just arriving.
"Korra, What do you think you do-" She cut me off.
"Kalani, you can't stop me. So don't try to."
"But Korra!"
"But nothing! I have to do this."
I sighed. "Okay Korra, do whatever you feel you need to." I said finally giving up. Let it happen Kalani… "Just know I'm there for you, and I'll back you up."
"Thanks Kalani." We gave each other a quick hug.
That night at at five minutes to midnight, Korra was on her way to the memorial. Mako and Bolin decided to stay at the temple tonight just in case anything goes wrong. Korra was about to cast her boat off, then Tenzin came down.
"Korra stop this! This is madness!" He said.
"Tenzin, I have to do this."
"This is all your fault!" He shouted at Tarrlok.
"Hey, I tried to talk her out of this. But she made up her mind." Tarrlok said as if he really didn't care. There was a low sound that resembled a growl in my head. That's when Korra left. I sighed. Mako came over and wrapped his arm around me, placing a kiss on the top of my head. Neither of us said anything, what could we say?
We waited, and waited. A loud bell rang signaling that it was midnight…what was going on? It seemed calm on the memorial. We continued to wait, that's all we could do! But nothing happened. Did Amon not show up? He's weak. Very Weak.
"That's it!" Tenzin said "I'm going over there!"
"I'm going with you." I said quickly.
"Us too." Bolin said, Mako standing next to him. Tenzin sighed knowing he can't fight us all.
"Let's go." He said.
We all go into a boat, and I pushed the water so we would go faster. We reached the memorial and jumped out of the boat.
"Let's Split up, we'll find her faster." Tenzin said. "Be careful." We all ran around the island.
I couldn't find her; I thought she was gone…until I heard Tenzin.
"I found her!" I ran over to him, Korra was crying on him. Bolin was gently rubbing he back.
"I was so terrified." She said in between sobs. "I felt so helpless."
"It's alright, the nightmare is over." Tenzin said trying to calm her down.
"You were right! I was scared the whole time!" That caused her to cry more. "I've never felt like this before, and I-I don't know what to do!"
It crushed me to see her like this. Korra was always the strong one, seeing her in this vulnerable state was heartbreaking. If Korra is reacting like this, Amon must be worse then we all thought…possibly too much for Korra to handle…Korra is cracking…very good Kalani….very good…
