The Avatar's Love: Book 1

Chains

"Asami wake up!" Kuvira shook Asami and eventually had to slap her.

"What?" Asami shot up, looking around. "Where's Korra?"

"That's the thing. I don't know. I think they took her...we got to go," Kuvira lifted her up by her arms and transformed the tent back into a bracelet.

She grabbed the lamp and held it up, immediately going into a fighting stance. There were at least 100 fighters surrounding them.

"Fight or surrender?" Kuvira looked to Asami.

"I never go down without a fight."

~~~~~

They had been fighting for what seemed like forever, because once one was down another came up behind them.

Asami had taken an electric glove from one of the first guys she took down, using it to knock people out.

Kuvira used a sword and was just cutting through people. She heard a scream, and she turned around to see Asami falling to the ground after being electrocuted by someone else.

After that Kuvira was taken down.

~~~~~

Korra woke up in a weird chamber that's only source of lights were torches. She was a twenty feet above the ground, held up by chains around her wrists and ankles.

She saw Kuvira and Asami standing, their arms were chained above their heads. Their bodies were limp and they looked almost...dead.

"A-Asami? Kuvira? Wake up.." Korra tugged at the chains, creating a small clanking sound.

They both remained completely silent.

"Guys, come back. I still need you..." Korra said, her voice small and cracking.

She saw Asami's head move slightly and her eyes flutter open. She looked around and tried to move, but noticed that she couldn't because of the chains holding her.

"Korra? Where are we?" Asami started to look around the room and panicked when she saw Kuvira next to her, still not awake. "Is...is she...."

"I don't know. I'm so sorry Sami. This is all my fault," Korra looked her in the eyes.

"It's not your fault that there's a psycho after you."

"That psycho....he's like my mentor. The Red Lotus...that's where I've been the past few years. I'm an assassin. I'm the Avatar. I've killed so many people and I try to tell myself it was just my job, but I like killing. Some sick part of me likes it," Korra looked away, trying to avoid looking her in the eyes.

"Korra, nothing you say can change how I feel about you," Asami shook her head.

"I was sent to kill you Asami! That's the only reason I came back!"

Asami froze and Korra immediately regretted telling her.

"This...this whole time I thought you finally wanted me..." Asami said quietly.

"I do want you! I do want you Asami! They're after me because I told them I couldn't kill you....I can't hurt you. Killing you is killing myself!" Korra tried to get out of the chains once again. Asami ignored her.

"You already did hurt me. Those three years were the worst of my life, this past year with you has been the best. I'm just hurt because it was all fake." Asami said calmly. That was what scared Korra the most, the calmness.

"But I do love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I want you to have my kids, I want your last name....I don't care what I do, as long as I'm with you. I...I just want you."

Asami finally looked up at her. Korra felt like someone stabbed her right in the heart when she saw Asami was crying. Once again, she was the cause of Asami's pain.

She heard slow clapping followed by hollow footsteps. She looked in the direction and saw him coming towards her, holding a set of double swords.

"I'm impressed, Avatar. Really. Quite a show you just put on. Now should I get straight to the point orrrr...." Ghazan spun the swords around.

"Why don't you let me out of these chains so I can kick your ass?" Korra responded.

"Korra..." Kuvira gave her a warning look, telling her not to provoke.

"You're finally awake. Good. Zaheer gave me orders to kill you first. You failed to keep the Avatar focused on her mission," Ghazan walked in front of Kuvira and put the tip of the blade against her stomach.

"I don't want to die, and there's one thing you should know about me," Kuvira smirked.

"And what is that?" Ghazan decided to let her have her last words.

"I always get what I want," Kuvira grabbed onto the chains above her head and climbed up using only her hands, then did a flip and kicked Ghazan in the head. He was knocked out.

Kuvira stood back up normally and stretched her thumb, pulling one hand out before doing the same with the other. She broke her thumbs in three places when she was younger, and it finally had its advantages.

"I need to find a way to get you two out of here..." Kuvira said after checking to see if Ghazan had any keys. Of course he didn't. The bracelet was no where to be found either. "I'll be back with the keys. I promise."

Kuvira ran out of the room, leaving Asami and Korra alone in an uncomfortable silence.

"Well that's disappointing," Zaheer came out of nowhere and picked up one of Ghazan's swords before poking his passed out body with his shoe.
