The Cursed Blood Bender (Korra X Reader)

Ch. 8 ~Chase!~

I look back, watching Republic City disappear into a hazy cloud of black smoke and white mist. Oogi has been keeping a steady pace since Lin took down the two Equalists ships.

Everyone's been quiet since that, only the sound of the wind, crashing waves and the distant sound of Republic City falling under Equalist control.

I keep my eyes sharp and focused encase another ship comes up out of nowhere, I lay my head back a bit relaxing and resting my muscles.

Keeping my head turned, everyone is silent for a long time only breathing almost no moving, until I break the silence happening admits us all.

"Where are we going Tenzin?" I ask keeping my voice low and monotone in nature. "Somewhere, where Amon won't find us." He says back sounding almost tired with a hint of sadness in his words.

I mumble to myself quietly that that did not answer my question, but I leave it there and don't ask further.

I turn my head away as the city finally falls out of sight, I look around Oogis saddle avoiding looking at anyone and merely looking at the items Tenzin gathered before leaving.

A couple woven wooden baskets with tightly shut lids, my guess is they contain food. A larger rolled up orange bag seemingly washed recently I'd say sleeping bag or multiple rolled up together.

I hear Tenzin whisper softly to Oogi "we can slow down now, boy we're far enough away." Oogi slowing down after that still going faster then some wind powered boats.

This slower pace leaves the wind out as one of the noises and now only splashing and crashing waves can be heard. So peaceful it makes me relax all that bit more.

I then see one of Tenzins kids one with dark chocolate brown hair going down to the top of her neck as she has one part on the right tied up with a yellow tie in a bun. She has eyes almost the same colour as her hair yet brighter.

She gets up keeping her brightly coloured air bending robes down from the light silent breeze and she walks over on Oogis saddle over to me sitting in front of me and sitting in front of all the bags.

Staying quiet for a little bit it looks as if she wonders what to say for a moment before speaking breaking the silence. "My names Jinora, what's yours?" She asks in a soft voice as she looks at me.

I give her a glance before looking to the side seeing the sky and saying quietly. "Y/N" I say she stays quiet looking down before saying. "That's a nice name." She says I nod slightly still keeping my focus elsewhere.

"So... Y/N where you from?" She asks me with childish curiosity, something I wish she wouldn't ask. But I answered anyway.

"The water." I say a vague answer I keep in the same tone.

"The, water tribes?" She asks me confused silently as she places a finger on her chin.

I shake my head silently, "just the water." I say again, vague but correct answer. "Jinora sweety, how about you let Y/N get some rest." I hear the voice of Pema say as she looks to one of her daughters.

As she clutches close to her a sleeping baby, who's slow but gently breathing leaves the child looking in somewhat comfort.

I see as Jinora looks to her mother. "Okk.." she says a little dejected she stands up and walks over and joins her mother sitting down in their little area.

I then feel as Oogi drops closer down to the water from flying far above it to now having his feet gently splash in it getting his fur all wet and sending a slight jolt and shock through his body that can be felt on his back.
