Ruined

chapter 5

Korra

I was laying in the bed of one of the spare bedrooms when I got a message from Toshi that he was staying at Bolin's.

I was slightly relieved to know he would be in a more stable environment than here at home.

When I heard the knock on the door I didn't move or say anything.

The door slowly opened, but I turned my back to her. I knew it could only be Asami.

"Korra. Please let's talk about this."

I sighed as I stood from the bed.

She walked towards me, but I passed her heading towards the door.

"I have nothing to say, Asami."

I left Asami in the room then got my keys and left the house.

The sound of the horn going off nonstop jerked me awake. I felt pain throughout my body and my head was ringing.

I should have known better than to leave the house while on a tranquilizer.

I heard the sirens coming closer and a voice to my side.

"I'm so sorry! Are you ok?"

I turned to the man in my window trying to get the door open.

"It was an accident I only looked away for a moment."

Suddenly I smelled a scent that burned my nosegasoline.

"Run! Get away!" I yelled at the man as I tried to get out of my seatbelt.

He looked at me with wide eyes as the engine erupted.

I looked up to see the windshield covered in flames and the heat intensifying against my legs, but I couldn't get out.

I tried with all my might to unbuckle, but I couldn't. The pain was too real as I felt the first bit of flame touch me.

"Not like this. Please not like this," I whispered as the window next to me shattered and shouts of voices came through.

Asami

I was still sitting in the bed Korra had left not thirty minutes before when I got the call.

"Mrs. Sato your wife has been involved in an accident and she is being transported to the hospital in critical condition."

I didn't answer the voice as I dropped the phone.

I caused this.

It was my fault.

Everything seemed to go by so slowly, but at the same time so fast because before I knew it I was throwing the door to my car open and running to the entrance of the hospital.

In a panic, I entered the Emergency Room and was quickly escorted to a waiting room.

It was already midnight and I wouldn't call Toshi till I knew what was going on with Korra.
