Saving from hurt rewrite

Chapter 6: Betrayal

~Mako's POV~

A knock at the door woke me from my sleep. I tried to move but someone was stopping me from doing so. I looked down at the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Korra was laying down on top of me on our couch. I gently moved her which allowed me to get up. Just as someone knocked on the door for the fourth time, I opened it. "Hello?"

"Hello my name is Zhou. I am a part of the White Lotus. I was informed that the Avatar lived here"

"What if she does?"

"Then we'll take her to a safe location where she'll be able to master all the elements and fulfill her duties as Avatar."

"What if she doesn't want to?"

"I believe that it is her choice not yours," I glared at the man cladded in white and blue robes, pale skin, amber eyes, and short stuffy beard. "Plus she will surely want to live somewhere where food, water, and warmth is always available instead of a cold attic."

"How are you so sure, you don't even know her"

"Avatar Korra, age 17, originates from the Southern Water Tribe, parents died when she was age ten."

"That's facts anyone could pick up. I meant really know her! What's her Favorite color?" I asked and the man stayed silent, "What's her favorite thing to eat?" pause, "What's her favorite animal?" another pause, "Exactly what I taught. Her favorite color is cerulean, her favorite thing to eat is seaweed noodles, and her favorite animal is a polar bear dog but of course you wouldn't know that would you! So I am not going to give a complete stranger my girlfr-, my friend!" I slammed the door in his face. I knew I shouldn't have but I wasn't going to just give Korra up to a stranger. Never in a million years.

"Who was that?" a voice echoed, I looked down to see Korra's blue eyes partly open. I walked towards her and bent down. My face inches from hers.

"No one, go back to sleep" she mumbled an almost inaudible 'ok' then fell back to sleep. I kissed her forehead lightly then gently picked her up bridal style and carried her to her room.

After tucking her into bed, I made my way back down the stairs and into the kitchen where I started to cook breakfast.

~General POV~

Once the smell of food hit Bolin, he was dashing down the hall into the kitchen. "Food! Food! Food!" he yelled then quickly took a seat his fork and knife ready to dig in.

"Good morning to you too" Mako said.

"Yah, yah, where's the food?" Mako places a plate of bacon and eggs in front of Bo and he finished it in 10 seconds flat. "Hmm, more please" Mako chuckled and refilled Bolin's plate. Living with Bo for so long Mako learned to always make extra. "So what's going on with you and Korra?"

"What about me and Korra?"

"You know all the kissing you guys did" Mako's face flushed, "Yah, I saw you two, and I even clear my throat a few times after I was done puking of course"

"I didn't know" Mako cleared his throat, "you saw that"

"Didn't know who saw what?" Korra asked as she sat in a seat next to Bo. Mako set down a plate full of food for her.

"It's nothing" Korra nodded and began sipping the orange juice Mako set in front of her

"Yah if you call the two of you making out nothing" orange juice sprayed from Kor's mouth onto the floor.

"What!"

"You heard me, though I'm kind of confused, weren't you dating Asami" Korra's shoulders slumped with guilt.

"Bolin!" Mako hissed.

"It's ok, Mako. I'm just gonna go upstairs."

"What? What did I say?" Bolin asked clueless.

"Bo just don't" Mako said as he went after Korra.

"What!"

Up in Korra's room, she was at her desk again, drawing Air Temple Island. The weird part was that even though she had a great view of the place, she didn't have to look once at it for certain details she just drew it. It was like someone was controlling her hand. There was a knock at her bedroom door. "Come in"

"Hey, you ok?"

"I'm fine" Mako walked over to her to see her drawing Air Temple Island, he stiffened remembering the White Lotus guard who wanted to take Korra away. He thought he hid it well but he didn't because Korra asked, "Are you ok?"

"What? I'm fine"

"You don't look fine, what's wrong?" Korra began to get up.

"Nothing," he wrapped his arms around her waist as she put her arms around his neck.

"Yah, like our kiss meant nothing" once she smiled Mako realized she was joking.

"That meant everything to me and so do you and Bo, even though he doesn't realize what comes out of his mouth sometimes"

"What happened downstairs, I didn't leave because of what Bo said" Korra murmured recently.

"Then why?"

"I- I keep get these sort-of urges to draw"

"To draw what?" Korra picked up her drawing,

"Air Temple Island" Mako tensed again.

"Maybe it's a coincidence"

"I don't think so. I always want to draw it and I always want to go there" Korra exclaimed, "Maybe I'm meant to go there, what if Aang-"

"And how do you know it's Aang" Mako voice had a harsh edge to it, "Maybe you're just being silly"

"But Mako, I don't think this is" she began to plead

"Korra, this is not Aang, it's just you being crazy and paranoid, there is nothing going on and you need to stop being so self-absorbed and get over yourself to realize that!" Mako said in a desperate rage, all he wanted was to keep her safe not yell at her. And he immediately regretted doing so once he saw the hot tears falling from her eyes. "Korra, I"

Korra pushed Mako out of her room and slammed the door in his face. If she wasn't sad or mad before she definitely was now.

It had been three days and Korra still would not talk or see Mako. She mostly stayed in her room or went outside to walk Naga. Mako tried to talk to her but she just pretended he wasn't even there.

It was time for Mako's shift at the power plant, Bo had already left to his friend's house with Pabu. Mako was at Korra's locked bedroom door. He knocked, "Kor, I'm heading to the plant"

All he heard was silence in return. Mako sighed, he was really sorry for what he said and wondered if Korra would ever forgive him.

There was a knock at the front door. Korra tried to ignore it but the sound kept going for more than five minutes. Korra groaned and made her way down the stairs. She opened the door to see a man with scruffy gray beard and the same amber eyes that Mako has, but Mako's had a certain glow to them like a growing flame that she just wanted to hold forever. No don't think about that jerkbender.

"Are you Avatar Korra of the Southern Water Tribe" the man asked her.

"Ah, yah. Why and who are you?"

"I am Zhou, a white lotus sentry. I am here on behalf of Councilmen Tenzin. He wishes for you to come to Air Temple Island to discuss your training"

Once Kor heard Air Temple Island she felt a huge urge to say yes but then she remembered Bolin, Pabu, Naga, and Mako. He'd be super worried if she had just disappeared even if he had said some mean things before he seemed really sorry. But you have to figure this out and going to Air Temple Island is the best way to do that. Plus he really hurt you. A voice said in Korra's head. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to go for a little while and be back before the brothers do, that way Mako won't worry.

"Um, ok. But only for a little while" the sentry nodded and lead her out the door. After Kor heard a whine she stopped and turned to see Naga. "Don't worry I'll be back soon. There's food and water in your bowls if you get hungry. And I'm guessing you don't need to use the bathroom since I already walked you." Naga whined again, "come on Naga, it'll only be for a while. Don't eat the furniture or mess anything up. Got it?"

Naga nodded, but she still was sad to see her master go. "Are you ready to go?"

Korra nodded after closing and locking the door. "Yah, let's go"

Korra got off the ferry, the sentry in front of her lead her towards the entrance of the Temple. There she saw a pregnant woman dressed in Airbending robes. "Hello, you must be Korra. My name is Pema, I'm Tenzin wife" the woman said cheerfully.

"Hi" Korra said awkwardly.

"Well come inside" Pema ushered her inside the temple then lead her through the maze of hallways. The two happily chatted along the way to Tenzin's office and Korra decided she liked Pema, she had this motherly vibe. Pema knocked on Tenzin's office door. "Tenzin, Korra's here to see you" she said in a cheerful voice. Korra wondered if she was like that all the time.

"You may come in" A deep voice said, it kind-of sounded familiar. Korra entered behind Pema. "Ah, Korra, it's so good to finally me you" Tenzin had pale skin, pale blue eyes, he was bald and had blue tattoos running from his forehead to his arms. Once he stood, Korra noticed he was tall but had a calm, peaceful demeanor to him.

"It's good to meet you too" Korra said with a small smile.

After talking with Tenzin, Korra went home. She quietly opened the door, to see Mako sleeping soundly on the couch. She couldn't help but smile even if she was supposed to be mad at him. She grabbed the raggedy blanket from the edge of the couch and placed it on top of him. He must have been so worried, Korra felt a pang of guilt. She was about to walk up to her room. But a hand grabbed her. She turned to see Mako awake. She stared into his worried eyes. "I thought you wouldn't come back"

"And why would you think that?"

"Cause I was being a huge jerk and … Korra, I'm really sorry" Korra sighed.

"I know you are" Korra smiled softly, "Come on let's go to bed" Mako gave her a smile, a true smile and the y both went to bed.

Asami couldn't wait any longer. She will destroy their happiness if it was the last thing she ever did.

~At the Apartment~

It was late at night when Korra spelled something burning. She whimpered, it reminded her of the day her parents were killed. She opened her eyes. It felt incredibly hot. She awoke Mako who slept soundly next to her. Mako smelt the burning small in the air then hurriedly grabbed Korra and rushed for the door, using his coat to open the door so it wouldn't burn him. "Wait!" Korra yelled grabbing the locket on next to her bed before getting ready to jump over the flames. Good thing they were firebenders. As soon as they got Boling they ran to get out of the buildings. Dodging the falling debris. They coughed and sucked in as much fresh air as they could.

"Great where are we going to go now?" Bolin asked "We can't go onto the streets again, can we?"
"No" Mako said firmly.

"I know where we can go, but you're not going to like it Mako"

"Oh no"

"Where?" Bo asked

"Air Temple Island"

"Good thing they said the invitation to live here was still open after what you said to that sentry" Korra said.

"How'd you know about that?" Mako asked

"Tenzin told me when I visited there earlier today"

"Don't you mean last night" Bo said, "Its morning now"

"Yeah, last night" Korra corrected.

Once the Ferry arrived they quickly exited and began to walk towards the main building. But then Korra saw Tenzin mediating in the courtyard.

"Master Tenzin!" Korra called out. He stayed still and after Korra called him for the fifth time, he opened his eyes. His stern, concentrated face was replaced with a happy, smiling one. "Sorry to bother you so early"

"No problem, Korra what can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if my friends and I could stay at Air Temple Island from now on" Tenzin raised an eyebrow at this.

"You see, Mr. Tenzin, sir" Bolin began, "The Arena where we were living had burned down, see" Bolin pointed to the building now being put out by firefighters.

"Oh my. Well in that case you are all welcomed to stay for as long as you need"

"Thank you sir we won't be much trouble and we'll pay you back for our stay" Mako said.

"No need, Air Temple Island is always open for guest. So you may stay under one condition" Tenzin's face turned serious once more, "Korra trains to become the Avatar" their eyes widened. "The world needs their Avatar, especially with Amon and his equalist running around"

"Of course sir, I'll do it" Korra said, determined.

"Kor-" Mako began

"Mako, not know ok" Mako mouth shut.

"Good we will begin tomorrow for now. You all and my wife, Pema will go shopping for more stuff and get settled into the dorms". They all bowed in respect and said Thank you to Tenzin before finding Pema.

~ A few weeks later~

Now that the Arena was burnt down, probending couldn't be played. And detectives finally found the culprit. The owner of the building decided to call the three down there so they could know as well since they did live there.

"Now let's just cut to the chase, ok" He took out photos of what some security tapes outside the building caught. A bunch of equalist but the most surprising part was that there was a girl about the Mako's age that had raven hair, sparkling emerald eyes, pale skin, and red lips that looked exactly like…

"Asami?!" Bolin gasped. "H-how is that possible?"

"That's not all there are other pieces of evidence that point to her and the equalist. Clearly they thought that the fire would cover their tracks lucky we put the fire out quickly enough. We went to confront Ms. Sato but her and her father mysteriously disappeared. There hasn't been a trace of them making our suspicions grow. We've come to the conclusion that the Sato family has been working alongside with the equalist."

"No" Mako said, "No that can't be true"

"I'm afraid it is"

That was a betrayal none of them saw coming.
