Asami
I'm lying bed trying to process everything I learned last night. Korra is from the Southern Watertribe she's 18 one year older than me. She was taken away from her parents at a young age when Amon came to power. She's been training with the White Lotus until she could no longer due to her safety. She told us she keeps scrolls to help her remember her training but she had to leave them at her last home. Where Equalist came in and killed the woman that was taken care of her.
Korra told us all the things Amon and the Equalist have done, yet My Father didn't once mention he builds products for them, the same ones that was used to hurt the people she cared about in the past. He just noded and exchanged comforting words, as if what he was doing was a secret.
Korra speaks about what the Equalists are doing as if it's a bad thing. Yes, what's Amon is doing is to the extreme but he has reason for it. It's proven, that ever since the anti bending laws were put up against benders, the crime rate has gone down.
It's equality not, discrimination Amon is trying to make everything equal, not single out benders. I wish I could have said that last night when Korra, was talking about how what Amon was doing needs to be stopped. But when she talks it's like, she captivates you with each words, due to her emotions.
I think that's how she got me out of my panic attack I just listened to her voice. I think we got off on the wrong foot, I think today we can start over and I can explain to her that her views are misinterpret.
My Father allowed me to stay home from school today. I make my way upstairs and head into my Father's camera's room. You know just to make sure Korra's awake so I don't wake her. She appears on the screen and she's shadow boxing. She's powerful but her technique could use some work. I leave the room and head downstairs.
I look in the fridge to see, what I can make. I don't want to go all out. I don't want her to think, I'm doing the most. I grab some yogurt and some granola and make a parfait.
I get out two small glasses and put some strawberries at the bottom. Lift up the lid of the yogurt and put a couple of scoops inside,Then lastly the granola. I'm debating whether I should get a tray or not.
No I can carry it, I don't want her to think I'm a princess or something. I pick up both glasses and head down to the basement.
I knock on the door in case she's changing.
"Korra?"
There is no answer so I open the door and she's doing push ups now.
"you know, you probably shouldn't call my name, I'm suppose to be a secret you know" I blush
"Oh you're right, I'm sorry I just thought you were hungry" she gets up and smiles
"No, problem don't feel bad, and thank you" she takes one from my hand and looks at it confused
"What is this?"
"A parfait"
"You eat this?"
"Yes, it's good and it's good to eat calcium when you're boxing"
Did I just say that? She looks at me suspicious "How did you know, I was boxing?"
"I didn't, I just made a statement, like carrots helps you see, something like that"
She nods "I get what you're trying to say,and yes I was boxing"
She picks up the spoon and tastes the granola part.
"You're suppose to mix it" she starts stirring it and I laugh
"No, let me show you" I pick up mines that doesn't look terrible and scoop some granola and yogurt out and hold it up to her mouth so she can take a bite.
"Try it" I'm waiting for her to take the spoon but instead she moves my hand with the spoon to her mouth
"This is really good"
I bring my hand down "You can have mines, if you want" she tilts her head to the side
"No, then you will have my messed up one"
"That's fine, I can make parfaits anytime I want"
"You sure?"
"Yes, just take it" I hand it to her and stand awkwardly
"You can sit" she says
"No, I don't want to bother your work out"
"I work out, all the time keeps me sane" I take a seat at a chair
"I can tell" gosh what am I'm saying she smiles
"Do you hate, hiding all the time?" I ask trying to change the subject
"No, I just love it, you know I love the risks, and danger" I stare at her
"Asami I'm kidding"
"Oh, I thought you weren't"
"I don't really like it, but It beats dying"
Maybe I should change the subject from death
"Do you have any friends?" I ask
"Do you really think I wouldn't have friends, I mean look at me, I'm a social butterfly"
She then starts flapping her arms "Really though, I make friends along my journeys, I like to think anyone who's not trying to kill me is my friend"
I accept that answer
"What about you, do you have friends. NO I bet you're the popular girl in your school, cheerleader perhaps?"
"No, spirits no"
"You're lying, you totally have to be popular, pretty girls like you are always popular"
She got to be kidding, me pretty there are girls, at my school who are drop dead gorgeous I'm just a peasant in their eyes.
"No, you're pretty and you aren't popular" she dips her head with a smile
"Thank you, you know I always thought of myself as a princess, but more like the princess locked in a tower like Fiona"
"So you're just waiting for your prince charming" I tease
"Well who ever, beats Amon can be that"
"What if a girl beats Amon, I heard about a woman named Kuvira and her army, trying to take Amon down"
Korra
I hope Kuvira mission goes well, I think that will really helps stop Amon.
"Then I guess, I better start planning our wedding" Asami smiles drops
"You would marry a girl?"
Why does she say girl as if it poison like she's literally struggling to continue her sentence.
"At this point, I'm so done with Amon I would marry anyone" she nods trying to look not uncomfortable. This girl fascinates me. She always comes on head strong but always back down a little then comes back. Like its all or nothing when it comes to me.
"I think your views, on Amon are false" here she goes again this is why I don't like talking about politics, it's just an endless battle of overly opinionated discussions. Passion is an important thing, and when people feel passionate about something you can't tell them they're wrong.
"Okay, that what you think" I say while setting the glass down
"Yes it is, what Amon is doing makes everyone equal"
Korra don't give in, just ignore her silly comment.
"I mean, if you actually lived in the real world you would like the new laws"
Korra, remember you have to live here don't say anything, no matter how wrong she is.
"If anything Amon, should be doing this to all the nations"
That's it
"BUT HE IS, HE'S A DICTATOR, AND HE'S ONLY POWERFUL BECAUSE IGNORANT CLOSED MINDED PEOPLE LIKE YOU FOLLOW HIM!"
I didn't mean to come across as harsh as I did, but it's true
"So, I'm a fool because I want others to be treated equally?"
"But we aren't equal, why aren't non-benders getting rules too?"
"They don't need ones!"
"Why, because they're already privileged enough?"
"We're not privileged, we went through more struggles than benders, benders always controlled our government, now a non-bender comes to power and benders don't like it"
How can she be so foolish? There is no way she believes what she is saying is right or true.
She gets up and digs into her pocket and hands me a balled up wrinkled paper.
"I don't want to read this"
"No read it, know it all" I snatch the paper out of her hand and open it.
"Would you like me to read it out loud, Princess so are ears can hear it at a equal time" I say sarcastically
"I didn't know you could read" I roll my eyes and start off
"Sunday night, gang members called the Agni Kai broke into a mansion"
I stop reading
"Don't stop, read it all"
"Agni Kai broke into a mansion, and murdered the woman living there…." I look up at Asami and she nods rapidly like she doesn't want to cry.
"Go ahead continue" I already scan the article and know the purpose of her showing me it.
"Asami I don't want to read it anymore" she snatches it out of my hand and starts reading
"and murdered the woman living there, who was identified as Yasuko Sato, the wife of Hiroshi Sato, the Agni Kai, were given the least time as possible due that their intentions weren't to kill anyone, stated their lawyer"
She puts the paper back into her pocket
"The benders who got off,killed my Mother and that's only because the whole court system was filled with benders, their argument was sometimes you can't control your bending. Amon is controlling their bending to help make sure what happened to my Mother doesn't happen again. My Father and I support that man because he visited us the day after it happened, and told us he would do everything in his power to get the people who did this, and he did. Now don't you tell me, benders are good people, because those so called good people took my Mother away from me!"
She runs up the stairs and slams the door before she can hear me say sorry. Sorry for the lost of her Mother
Gosh they both had some solid good points.
Please review, I enjoy reading your thoughts. Sorry for the short chapter I managed to update all three of my stories, so to keep my sane I had to keep it short.
