"Because she is still the Avatar"

It had been almost three weeks since Korra had placed herself into the coma; although the world kept on moving without the Avatar there to help it, the gang simple could not just move on with their lives. It was as if the moon was taken from their night, leaving them with nothing to show them the light. They began to just stay at the temple, it became their new home. Mako only left the chair next to her when he had to go to the bathroom, or shower, but Asami would usually bring him food. If it was not her then it was Pemma or Bolin.

Bolin left every day and sometimes would not come back to the temple during the night; sometimes he would be gone for days at a time. Since Mako was not working, Bolin would take small jobs from people around Republic City, whether it would be just help move furniture, or training someone in bending, or as a body guard for some mobsters around town. Bolin was not happy to do some of the jobs, but the group did need money. Plus Tenzin wasn't leaving the house as much and they needed the money too.

Asami left during the day to help Pemma with the children or to go to her company because she still had a company to run. After she worked she would come back to the temple and help make dinner and clean up. After everything was cleaned, Asami would walk past Korra's room and she could almost cry at the pure sadness of the sight. Mako would be sleeping in the chair next to Korra, with his hand clutching hers, and his head resting on the bed besides Korra.

Everyone, besides Mako, was starting to believe that Korra was gone. Her eyes stopped glowing over a week ago, the blood had stopped, and she had stopped moving all together. Every day, her aura would grow weaker and it became harder to hear her heart beating. Soon Tenzin would only come in once a day, and the only time others would come in the room was to comfort Mako.

"No she is not dead!" Mako screamed pushing himself out of the chair "She is still fighting! You can't just give up on her! She never gave up on us!"

"Mako," Asami said in a soft voice, "You haven't bathed in a week. You need to take a shower."

"She might wake up when I'm gone," Mako whispered as he turned around to look at the young woman lying in the bed, "I can't leave."

"Come on, Mako." Bolin said as he took a step towards his brother, "This is hard on all of us, but she isn't going to wake up."

"No!" Mako yelled, "Stay away from her, she is going to wake up!" When Bolin took another step forward so did Mako, although, Mako had flames erupting from the palms of his hand. "Don't you take one more step."

"Gahhh!" Korra yelled as flung herself into a sitting position; Korra was breathing rapidly and she was broken out in a cold sweat, but she couldn't figure out why. With wide eyes Korra glanced around the room to see Tenzin, Bolin, Asami, and Pemma against the far wall, with Mako looking as if he was about to attack Bolin, "What is going on?" Korra asked in pants.

"Korra!" Mako yelled as he launched himself at the young girl, and pulled her into his chest. Korra was taken back, but returned the hug after a moment of shock.

"Uh, Hi, Mako…" Korra muttered as Mako finally let her go; soon Bolin tackled her in the bed and was crying in to her shoulder.

"I was so scared!" Bolin blubbered, "I mean they probably were too, but not as scared as me! What would have happened to team Avatar? What would we have done without our star? How would we ha-"

"What are you talking about, Bolin?" Korra cut him off as confusion took over her face, "It was just a small injury during one of our matches." Korra raised one of her eyebrows at the earth bender, "And what is this Team Avatar? We are the fire ferrets."

Bolin pulled back and stared at Korra for a moment before slightly turning his torso towards the others, "You sure she didn't hit her head?"

"No, Bo, I did not hit my head," Korra said anger lacing her words as she shoved Bolin off of her. Korra grabbed the edge of the blanket, threw it off of her legs, and swung her legs to the edge of the bed as if she was going to stand up. Korra began to stand, but Tenzin put his arms up to stop her.

"Woah, Korra, I don't think it is a good idea to walk around this early," Tenzin said, his arms stretched out towards the young woman as if she was going to collapse at any moment, "Let alone any Avatar Duties." Tenzin said, testing out her reaction; just as he thought, Korra's face scrunched up in confusion at the word 'Avatar'. As if she had no idea what he was talking about.

"Uh, what?" Korra questioned the air bender, "I know you are supposed to be training the Avatar in air bending, but I sure don't have any part in that. When is she supposed to get here anyways?"

"Soon, Korra, soon." Tenzin said in a saddened voice as he reached out and ruffled her hair, "We are just going to give you a moment to change; we will be in the dining room when you are done. Come on."

No one besides Tenzin had even a clue to what was going on, but trusting his judgment everyone followed Tenzin out into the hallway after saying some sort of good bye to Korra. One they left the room Korra began to slowly stand and try to walk to her dresser.

"Uh, Tenzin?" Bolin asked as they were walking out of Korra's room, "Not to, you know, ask again, but are you sure Korra didn't hit her head?"

"Sadly that is not the case." Tenzin said with a long sigh, "Almost the worst possible thing has happened to our Korra. I believe that she was not able to reconnect with Raava."

Zaheer's head shot up as he felt a strong aura just vanish into thin air; the tornado just stopped and anything that was flying fell to the floor with loud bangs. Zaheer quickly jumped to his feet, and ran to the door. P'Li had a smile on her face when she saw Zaheer walking towards her, but the smile soon fell when he shoved her out of the way.

Zaheer stopped right where the young Avatar was before she vanished; Zaheer could still sense small trances of the young girl. Zaheer crouched down, reached down, and placed his hand on the metal where Korra had fallen to the ground. It was hot.

"Korra…" Zaheer whispered as he ran his hand along the metal. P'Li walked out of the room with a frown on her face, and her arms crossed glared at the man.

"What is it now since you already destroyed your room?" P'Li sneered towards Zaheer. Zaheer simply stood up and stared at P'Li for only a moment before pushing past her. "Where are you going?"

"To fix something." He said as he jumped out of the moving airship.

"So if she lost all her memories of her being the Avatar, how does she remember us?" Asami asked as she crossed her arms, glancing back towards Korra's room.

"It's because she wasn't just with us because of her being the Avatar." Mako was leaning up against the wall staring at the door to Korra's room, "She met me and Bo because she used water bending to watch pro-bending. She met you because I introduced you guys. This means, she doesn't remember me and her being together." Mako ripped his head away from the direction of Korra and put his head in his hands. "How do we bring it back?" He asked when he pulled his head up.

"I don't even know if the Avatar cycle will continue," Tenzin said also glancing towards her door, "She may just never remember."

Just as Tenzin finished Korra's floor flew open and there stood the young woman of conversation in clean clothes and a smile on her face. The group turned to her and tried to act normal, but none of them knew how to act.

"What are you guys talking about?" Korra said with promise in her voice.

A week after the young woman woke up it became obvious to her that something was missing in her life. There was a large part of her missing, something that she couldn't remember. Korra sighed as she looked into the city through her window; it was late in the night and she kept having these horrendous nightmares about being in a strange city and a man with his three allies trying to kidnap her but her friends stopped him. Or her nightmares would be about Amon trying to take her bending away to get to the Avatar, but she had no idea who the Avatar was.

"What is missing?" Korra whispered as she made her way to the door; Korra often would find herself sitting by the waters late at night. She would just play around with the water, or sometimes if she wasn't feeling so tired she would go for a late night swim.

On her way to the beach she would normally pass by the white lotus guards who would be listening to the radio, but this time she stopped and listened to what they were talking about.

"There has been no word on the Red Lotus's leaders after they tried to kidnap Avatar Korra. There also has been no word on the young Avatar as well." The radio was full of static, but Korra could make out the words.

"That Zaheer is a crafty one" A deep voice spoke, "I wonder if he is even going to come after Korra if he finds out that she lost her memory."

"What even happened to make her forget?" Another guard questioned.

"I have no idea. All I want to know, if she is just another water bender now, why is it that we are still watching after her?"

"Because she is still the Avatar." Korra heard Tenzin's voice, "You made a pledge to serve and protect the Avatar. She may not remember it, but she still is the Avatar. Now get back to work."

Korra sprinted towards the beach; she did not want to hear anymore. She had no idea what any one was talking about. Korra sat down in the sand and pulled her knees to her chest; all she wanted was for life to go back to what it was. Whatever it was; she was so tired of being confused and lost. Korra placed her head in her knees and sighed. Korra jumped up when she heard rustling in the bushes behind her.

"Hello?" Korra called as she began to make an ice dagger in her palm.

"I am," A man spoke as he calmly stepped out of the bushes. Korra did not know this man; he had a shaven head, a square jaw, and deep dark brown eyes that Korra found herself lost in, "my Avatar." Korra instantly snapped out of her trance and became instantly enraged.

"Why is everyone calling me Avatar, or the Avatar?" Korra harshly spoke, being careful not to attract the attention of the White Lotus guards. Korra took a step forward and shoved her finger into his chest, "My name is Korra, got it buddy?"

A smirk captured the man's lips, and then he quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her flush up against his chest. "I love you too, Korra…" The man whispered right before he leaned down and captured the young water bender's lips.

Korra raised an eyebrow at his confession, but her eyes went wide in rage and shock when he kissed her. How dare he kiss her! She was not his! Korra lowered her eyes and shoved the man to the ground. Korra pulled some water from the bay, turned it to ice shards, and held it above the man.

"Look, I think you have the wrong girl." Korra spoke slowly and venom seemed to drip from every syllable, "I don't know you. I have no idea who you are. I am not the Avatar; I am just a water bender. And I think you need to leave."

Zaheer did not try to stand up; he just laid on the ground and looked passed the shards of ice to the young woman threatening his life. He had no idea why she could not remember him, but he would make sure she remembered him before he left.

"You don't remember me? You don't remember the time we spent together under the large tree?" The man spoke to the young woman trying to get her to remember. "We would sit under the shade of that tree and talk for hours; you use to let me touch you in the most sensitive ways. You once began to tell me that you loved me, and I never got to say it in time before you left."

Korra's face turned bright red, she opened her mouth to speak, but a bunch of memories started to flash in front of her eyes. She saw them talking under a tree, she saw him catching her while she was wearing a long blue dress, she saw them kissing against the wall, and finally she saw him catch her before she hit the ground. The ice melted and all the water fell and splashed on Zaheer. Korra's eyes were closed, but when she opened them she did not see just a man on the ground, she saw Zaheer. Korra smiled and reached out for him.

"Zaheer, I….I…" Korra's voice got stuck in her throat and she looked as if she was gagging but no noise was coming out. Her eyes rolled back into her head, but this time she did not fall. Her eyes began to slow a bright white, and it was not Korra who spoke, but Raava herself. "Korra will not remember you now, nor will she until she is completely healed. If she ever completely heals."

With that said, her eyes went shut, and her body fell the ground.
