"So boys have to stay on the boys side of the dorms, so you're room is over here." Mako and Bolin were moving onto the today, so I was showing Mako to his room. He rested his bag on his bed. We both sat down on it. I was looking at my feet.
"Hey, are you okay Kalani?" He wrapped his arm around me.
"I'm fine."
"Don't lie to me…You have every reason to be upset over what happened with Asami." A single tear went down my face.
"I thought she was my friend. I thought she was our friend. But I don't want to talk about it. Come on; let's go for a walk or something."
We went for a walk around the Island; Bolin joined us as we passed the Bison stables. As we were walking we saw Korra sitting by the cliffs. It looked like she was crying. We all ran over to her.
"Are you okay Korra?" I asked her.
"I'm fine." She said quickly.
"C'mon you can tell us." Bolin said getting down to her level.
She sighed. "How am I supposed to save the city when I can't even learn Air Bending? I'm the worst avatar ever!"
"That's ridicules Korra, and you know that!" I said sitting down next to her.
"And remember Aang didn't master all the elements when he fought the Fire Nation. He was just a little kid." Mako added on.
"And he had his friends to help him." Bolin said putting his arm around her shoulder. "The arena might be shut down, but were still a team. The new team avatar!"
"We got your back Korra, were going to do this together." Mako agreed with him.
"Thanks guys." She smiled at us. "You up for some late night patrolling, Team Avatar?"
"Let's go." I said. We all got up and started to go to the stables to get Naga and Kavi. You might be a team now, but when it comes down to it you're on your own Kalani. I gasped.
"You alright Kalani? You look a little pale." Mako asked me.
"Uh, yeah. I'm fine… Let's go."
Mako and I got on Kavi as Bolin and Korra mounted Naga. We rode through town, not exactly sure what we were looking for but we knew we'd know it when we saw it. Then, we saw it. A group a chi blockers were speeding down the streets of the city.
"Let's go!" Korra shouted. We sped down the street trying to catch up with them. As we got close enough Mako and Bolin started electrocuting and chucking rocks at them. They tried to smoke us away with the exhaust from their bikes, but it didn't work Kavi and Naga easily charged through them.
"Kalani go on the side of the truck!" Kavi sprinted over to the side. Mako stood up on his back and shot lighting straight through the window. Just as that was happening, Bolin created a wall making the truck crash. The truck was in ruins. We were about to go and investigate the truck but the police force pulled up straight behind us. A very angry Tarrlok steeped out of the police vehicles. I got a bit light headed.
"Avatar Korra! What are you doing here?"
"Oh, nice of you to show up." Korra sassed. "We caught them."
"No all you did was interfear in police business with your little friends." Don't let him disrespect you!
"Oh please! We did more than you could ever do!" The words just rolled of my tongue; I didn't mean to say that! "I didn't see the police or you're little task force anywhere!" It was like I had no control over my mouth.
"Uhg! This is your last warning!" Tarrlok pointed at me. "I don't want to see you anywhere where there are Chi Blockers!" Tarrlok got back into his car as they drove away with the convicts.
"Damn Kalani, I didn't know you had it in you! You totally had him speechless!" Korra said punching me in the back playfully.
"Watch out bro, don't want to make her mad." Bolin joked to Mako.
"Uh...yeah." That's all I could manage to say. It was weird, I had no idea what I was saying…
"Kalani, what's wrong? And don't tell me nothing, you been spacing out a lot more often." Mako asked me.
"Nothing, just a head ache. But im fine." I kissed his cheek. "Really." I lied through my teeth. Mako was right, the voice has been more 'vocal' lately, it is getting a bit out of hand… but it's not like I could tell anyone! They'd think Im insane! Maybe I am…
The next night we were out patrolling again. Then Bolin pointed something out.
"Guys look over there!" He pointed to a small town, it was completely dark.
"All the power's off." Korra pointed out. "Let's go check it out." We rode down into the town.
"ALL NON BENDERS MUST RETURN TO THERE HOMES IMMEDIATELY!" We heard a voice booming over us as we came down. There was mob being barricaded by the police force.
"Yeah, we'll go home. Once you turn our power on!" Someone from the mob called. "Hey look it's the avatar!" The crowd all looked to us.
"Please help us." A woman with a baby said. "You're out avatar too."
"Everyone stay clam!" Korra said looking into their sad scared eyes. "I'll handle this." Korra stormed off, we followed closely behind us. Korra marched over to Tarrlok who was in a giant tent talking to some police officers.
"Tarrlok, turn the power back on and leave these people alone!"
"Korra, you and your playmates don't belong here."
"You don't have the right to do this to these people!" Korra shouted back.
"This is an Equalist rally!"
"They're not Equalist there harmless civilians!" I shouted.
"Watch your mouth!" He shouted back. "And they are the enemy!" Don't let him speak to you that way! My hand started twitching, I forced it back down. "Round up these Equalists!" All the police officers started forcefully pushing all the non-benders into the police vehicles.
"Hey! Let go of her!" I heard Mako shout. He was running toward an officer who had his hands on a woman who was resisting arrest. Mako ran after him and punched him in the face, but then he was grabbed by two more officers.
"You're under arrest." They said cuffing him.
"Let go of my brother!" Bolin to Mako was but was arrested himself.
"Tarrlok! You can't do this!" I marched over to him, my arms getting into a fighting position.
"And who's going to stop me…you?" He smirked. Do it Kalani, you know you can. My fingers twitched.
"Kalani, don't do it!" I heard Mako shout. Do it now, Kalani! My arms fought to stay up, but the eventually came down to my sides.
"Ha! I knew it." Tarrlok snarled.
"C'mon Kalani, it's not worth it. We'll call Tenzin." She pulled me away. "This isn't over Tarrlok!" She called over her shoulder.
"I believe it is." He smirked. For once the avatar is right, this is far from over.
