Chapter 5
Mako's P.O.V
I knelt down beside Korra and held her hand. She's sweating profusely, but I don't care. She looked over at me with pain written on her face, but love and hope painted in her beautiful, cerulean eyes.
Her grip on me tightened and she made a face that said I'm gonna puke, but I don't want to puke on you. I picked up a large, metal bucket sitting next to the gurney. I held it up to her before she quickly grasped the bucket with both hands and violently dry heaved into it, making gagging noises as she did so. I held both her hands which were still grasping the bucket tight, causing her knuckles to become white.
I grabbed a metal fold-up chair behind me and sat down in it. Korra was still trying to throw-up and made some, but very little, progress.
"Mako." She said softly, but still with some bass to her voice. "I need water."
I looked behind me and found a small metal shelf attached to the steel wall of the vehicle, secured with a string of skinny chains, with a set of six water bottles stacked on it. I grabbed one and cracked it open it for her. "Here I'll help you." I said thoughtfully then attempted to bring the bottle to her lips, but she rejected the gesture with an irritating amount of hot-headedness.
"No… I can do it… Myself." She tried to sit up but winced in pain and layed back down. She knows she's too weak to argue with me, let alone to even make an attempt to sit up straight, so she gave in. "Alright… Fine. You can help me."
I lifted her head up and put the bottle to her lips. "Drink slowly." I advised her. But she didn't listen; she never listens to me.
She snatched the bottle from me and downed the whole thing in less than 7 seconds. She threw the bottle to the ground and let out a few deep breathes.
"Are you alright, Korra?" I asked picking up the bottle she threw to the ground.
She got off the gurney, with a deal of great pain in her eyes might I add, and knelt down to the bucket.
I got down beside her and held back her wolf-tails. She stuck her head in it and puked out the water she just drank. She breathed heavily and held her stomach. Mako helped her back on the bed. I wonder how Bolin and Asami are doing.
