Still don't own LoK nor Anastasia's plot.

Kailee was extremely reluctant to go with Iroh, but he explained to her that he knew something about her that she didn't know, and that she wouldn't get her answers until she followed him to where he was going to lead her.

The night before they were due to get back on Iroh's ship Kailee was in bed asleep when she heard a window open. She awoke to find that it was just a gust of wind, and she went to close it. But just as she closed it and turned around, she saw the waterbender from before with some ropes.

Before she knew what was happening, she was tied to the bed and the waterbender was using reverse hypnotism on her. She felt herself and her willpower crumble, and finally, all she could hear was the words "Fire Lord Ozai congratulates Azula on a job well done", followed by a set of orders over and over again.

But the buzzing continued, and she knew that if she wanted out of here, she had to fake her death. By the time she remembered her plan, it was dawn, and she could almost hear Iroh walking up the stairs.

Little did she know that he was walking up the stairs. When he saw her tied up and misty-eyed, he feared the worst and immediately cut her bands and began trying to wake her. She blinked at him as though she weren't even in the present anymore, and Iroh immediately knew that something was wrong with her.

"Who?" she croaked, and his eyes widened.

"General Iroh," he said stiffly, "I'm here to take you back to your family."

She nodded blankly, and followed him without another word. They boarded his ship, with him almost worrying about how she would turn out. He'd hidden a small stash of presents for her in his quarters just in case he needed to get her to trust him, not that he'd need it for very long.

The day passed uneventfully. This shocked him, as he was one of the people in the memory that she'd recovered. But it was worse when she gave him a confused look as he asked about Korra, Tenzin, Lin, and even Mako, Bolin, and Asami. She couldn't even remember the war in Republic City!

He quickly penned out a letter and sent it with Roku, his messenger hawk, and let his pet use his arm as a launch pad of sorts. He let out a yawn, a first for him since he'd been promoted to General at age twenty. He sighed in defeat – he wasn't getting any younger, and to be honest, he really needed to settle down and start a family before he got killed.

And as badly as he wanted to call the mute girl Kailee, he just didn't trust himself to be able to keep the pent-up emotions that he held associated with the name until he was sure that the real one had been found. She had the necklace, she had the terror from her past, but she couldn't possibly be the right one that was from his past. Their personalities didn't match at all, and the young woman that slept across the hall from him was just too unpredictable sometimes. She had too many medical problems, but it could have been just her past getting to her, he argued with himself.

He sighed heavily, hating how he had become so attached to someone who was now so far out of his reach.

LOK

Korra's eyes widened and she lost all sense of emotional control of her facial features as she read Iroh's letter regarding his charge's new remission that seemed to wipe everything from her mind except the war, it seemed. Her memories that she'd recovered were gone again, and although she remembered the war, she didn't remember meeting anybody in Team Avatar!

"This is not good," Lin said as she tapped her foot impatiently while the others were listening to Korra shocked. "Someone was able to hypnotize her before us."

"Why would we need to hypnotize anyone?" Asami asked confused.

"It was the healing strategy that we had in mind for the mute that Mako and Bolin found who keeps collapsing from severe migraines," Tenzin explained, "did he say whether or not she seemed to be in danger?"

"She's perfectly safe, if his protective and extremely loyal nature is anything to go by," Korra said looking back at the note. "He says that he'll get one of his waterbenders to try to reverse the damage."

"Or, we could just have you do that," Bolin said crossing his arms.

"No, I have bending to restore, Bolin," Korra shot back, "As important as this is, it will have to wait."

She stumbled momentarily just before sitting back in her chair defiantly. She closed her eyes, and put her fists together. They soon saw her going into a very relaxed Avatar State, and Korra saw Aang's destruction of Yakone again. she frowned and furrowed her brow confused.

"Unbeleivable!" she yelled angrily, and they all jumped. "Amon or Tarlock – one of the two had a kid!"

"Amon," Lin realized, "He had a teenager at his side when he confronted me. I thought she was a chi blocker, she looked like one. I should have known she was too important to just be a new recruit!"

"It's not your fault, Lin," Pema said putting her hand on the metalbender's shoulder. "Anyone could have made that mistake."

"I should have known," she said shaking her head in defeat.

LOK

Iroh was just about to switch into his pajamas when a knock came at his door. He let out a huff before opening it to find his lieutenant looking very concerned.

"Is there a problem?" Iroh asked narrowing his eyes.

"It's-it's the mute girl you requested us to keep an eye on, sir," he said quickly, "She-she's gone!"

"What?" Iroh asked immediately in no mood for sleep. "How? When?"

"I don't know, but there weren't signs of a struggle," the lieutenant said lamely before Iroh began running quickly around the ship.

He heard a tapping above him, and knew that his best bet was to follow any signs of life that he could find at the moment. As he raced upwards, the boat was rocked to the side and he had to push up against the wall to keep himself upright. The boat was suddenly turned the other way, and he was now thrown for a loop as he tried to stay upright.

"What in the name of Agni is going on?" he asked the lieutenant, who was also struggling to stay upright.

"I'm not sure, sir," he said wearily, "But if this keeps up I think I'm going to be a little sick…"

"Less talk and queasiness, more searching," Iroh snapped as he surged forwards again only to be thrown sideways as he reached the rail. "You go search lower, I'll search up here!"

"Yes, General Iroh!" the lieutenant yelled as he ran and scrambled back to the lower regions of the ship.

Iroh clung to the rail as the ocean water harshly sprayed onto his face and his entire body was soon soaked within mere moments. He hated every second of that part about being on the ocean, which was the only downside that he could see. He almost yelled in shock at what he was seeing on the deck, though, as his hand slipped from the metal rail beside the stairs.

Does he get to her in time? Well, I'll let you figure that out by letting you hit the next button after I say this:
