The group headed South, that's the direction they needed; and Korra hoped that she might run into her person along the way. There was no way she could just find her, it would be by chance no matter what. But Korra was hopeful, she had a good feeling about finding her human counterpart. After Asami's and Bolin's fun filled run around they became closer than ever, and Mako became more clingy to her. She generally didn't have time to hang out with just Asami till after the guys went to sleep.

Korra hadn't be able to sleep, she kept having nightmares so she'd taken to staying up with Asami; more like falling asleep next to her as she talked. It was comforting being near her, like she was a lighthouse in the stormy waters that were quickly becoming Korra's life. She was a beacon of hope, a life line in choppy waters. The sound of Asami talking about her families inventions, and watching her smile made Korra's heart liter.

She couldn't explain what she felt for Asami, it wasn't like anything she'd ever felt before. There was a peacefulness in her presence, a softness in her being that drew Korra in. She didn't feel this at ease with Mako, she didn't feel this at ease with anyone. This was one of those nights, one of the nights when Korra couldn't sleep and Mako's hand felt like an ball and chain and she just needed to get away.

Asami was of course awake and looking up at the Star, intermittent with her looking down at a sketch book and making scratches with her pencil. Korra smiled and watched her for a second before disentangling her hand from Mako's and bringing her blanket and pillow over to where Asami was. The first few days on this trip Asami was distant, but one day Bolin said something about them all being a family and suddenly it was like the old Asami was back; and Korra was so happy about that.

Asami looked up at her and smiled as she patted the spot next her. "Can't sleep?" Asami asked in a soft voice, trying to keep quiet so the guys wouldn't wake up. Korra sat down next to her and then laid her head back onto her pillow and looked up at the Stars.

"I keep having these nightmares, and I don't feeling like trying to deal with them." Korra said putting her arms behind her head. "You?" Korra asked. She'd never thought about it but she'd never seen Asami sleep.

Asami laughed a little and closed her sketch book and laid her head on the corner of Korra's pillow and a sad smile. "I haven't slept, like really slept, since I was ten. I don't like the darkness. Before I would have sat out in our garden and watched the Stars and pretended that they shine only for me. Tell me about these dreams, maybe I can help." Asami said settling more comfortably next to Korra, moving so that their feet were in opposite directions.

Korra wouldn't remember this, she didn't remember they use to lay like this every day holding hands and telling stories. But Asami did, she remembered being close to Korra, close enough to touch and hold and play with. This was her best friend. She'd been cold the first few days, but that didn't bring Korra back. She went back to being her same self, just trying to be friends with her; and that would have to be enough.

Korra sighed and Asami wanted to take her hand, to remind her that she would always have her back; but that was a promise she would not remember. "I'm in a room I don't know, with a person I can't see. Like I know it's a little girl but I can't see her face, or any of her features. I know I'm in a really nice room, but that's all. We're laying on a bed and I guess we're asleep, I'm holding her hand and then the world lights up and there's screaming. I think I'm screaming and she's screaming but I can't understand anything. Then everything hurts and goes black. I know it doesn't sound like a scary dream, but in it I'm terrified. And the other girl, she…..I think she's my person. Because as she screams I can feel my heart break for her." Korra said and Asami had to keep from making a sound as tears began to flow.

Some part of Korra had held onto her memories of Asami, she didn't know it was her but Amon hadn't erased them just suppressed them. There was a chance Asami could get her Korra back, she just had to hold on. "I think that's the most terrifying thing I've heard. Not because you see anything scary but because it feels real to you. But you need to sleep, how about I lay here till you drift off?" Asami asked tryng to hide the fact she was crying.

Korra turned to face her in the darkness, she couldn't see the tears, which asami was greatful for. "You're the best, how about we lay here together and sleep. I bet you'll be able to sleep again." Korra said and reached up and took Asami's hand and squeezed it lightly.

Asami had to keep herself together as Korra took her hand and squeezed it, this was so hard. "Yeah maybe." Asami said already feeling tired. Korra's hand pulled out of hers and suddenly she was drifting into sleep. She didn't remember closing her eyes, she didn't think she'd fall asleep, but Asami Sato the insomniac fell asleep sharing a pillow with Korra the Avastar…..and it was the closest thing she'd had to a peaceful night in a long time…
