The Legend Of Korra: A New Treat

Chapter 6- The Mistake

Mako began to feel better as the week went by. Korra healed him many times with Water Bending and his mark on his stomach began to fade away. 
Mako was able to get up and walk around, but not use any Fire Bending because it can make an infection start or he will receive pain from his stomach again. Mako went outside and saw Asami, she was looking out at Republic City.

"Hey Asami...." Mako said.

"Oh hey Mako. You look better." Asami replied.

"Much better actually. Hey have you seen Bolin?" Mako questioned.

"Yeah I think he was in his room or the with Naga." Asami replied.

"Thanks." Mako said as he made his way to Bolin's room.

"Wait... Mako." Asami said.

"Yeah." Mako said turning around.

"....... Nothing.." Asami said with a smile.

Mako was confused, but he went on his way to Bolin's room. Mako hasn't seen Bolin since he yelled at him a week ago. Bolin didn't want to see the face of a man who helped him throughout his life. Mako knew some day he would have to talk with Bolin and that day was today. 
Mako knocked and entered Bolin's room. He was laying in his bed and got up when he heard the door open. He saw Mako with shame and went back to lay down. Bolin was ashamed of Mako for not only screaming at him, but what he said. He never thought he would hear those words that came out Mako's mouth.

"Bolin....I'm sorry bro... I should've never said that to you... I regret everything I said." Mako begging.

Bolin didn't say a thing. He said those words and no apology will ever change that. 
Mako just sat at his bed for a moment. He know knew his brother didn't want to speak with him. Mako stood up and made his way towards the door.

"Mako... Are we going to be ok?" Bolin questioned.

"Of course we will... We're bros we have to..." Mako said as he left the room.  

Bolin laid in his bed questioning himself wether or not he should get up and talk with Mako or just lay in his bed.

"What should I do?" Questioned Bolin to Pabu." I don't know. He deserves it Pabu... He screamed at me like I did anything to him.. But I shouldn't be like that! I'm his bro.." Bolin still questioning Pabu.

Pabu got off Bolin's chest and walked towards the door. Bolin knew what Pabu was trying to tell him. He grabbed Pabu, put him on his shoulders, and ran towards Mako.

"Mako!"Bolin yelled at Mako trying to get his attention.

"Yeah" Mako replied as he turned around.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry... I shouldn't have acted like that towards you... You're my bro!" Bolin said.

"Of course you are.. I'm sorry too.. I shouldn't have said that to you..That was real dumb of me.." Mako said.

"Yeah! Haha" Bolin said chuckling.

They gave each other hugs and they went to have a brother dedicated day. They went to Republic City, ate various foods and walked around. They had the time of their lives. They walked until they got to a house. Mako took out the paper with the address from his pocket. It was correct, this was the home of the murderer of Mako and Bolin's parents. Mako stood frozen. He just wanted to barge in and attack the man.

"Hey what's up? Are you ok?" Bolin questioning from afar.

"What.. Oh yeah." Mako said as he ran towards Bolin.

Sunset began and they made their way back home. They ate dinner with the rest of the Krew and everyone said their good byes and went to bed. 
Mako was in his room and took out the address. He jumped out the window and made his way to the ferry.
Bolin looked outside and saw Mako.

"What's he doing?" Bolin questioned himself as he got up and began following him.  

 

Bolin got to Republic City and followed Mako. He kept his distance so Mako wouldn't know he was there. Mako stopped at the same house from earlier and entered the home.

"What! What are you doing here!?" Yelled an old man's voice.

"What don't you remember me? The little boy who you murdered his parents? Outside in the streets.. You mugged them." Mako furious.

Bolin looked through the window and saw the destruction Mako was causing. He saw fire out in the palms of Mako's hands. He knew that he was going to murder this man.

"I'm sorry! That was a stupid decision I've made! I'm deeply sorry and regret it!" The old man pleaded.

"Sorry's not going to pay the price." Mako said moving his fist with flames towards the old man.

"MAKO STOP!!!!" Shouted Bolin as he entered the home.

Mako stopped right in front of the man's face. He turned around and saw Bolin.

"Bolin? Wha... What are you doing here?" Questioned Mako.

"How could you Mako? You're not that type of person...." Bolin said.

"But Bolin.. This man killed our parents! We must avenge their death!" Mako screaming.

Bolin just nodded his head with disappointment. He couldn't believe his brother was making this decision.

"Mako... I'm going to leave here... I hope you make the right decision." Bolin said as he left running back to Air Temple Island.

Now it was just Mako and the old man. Mako turned around and looked at the man dead in the eye.

"You must pay for your mistake.." Mako said. 

••••••••••••••••••••• 

Bolin ran to his room without making any noise. He couldn't believe his brother was in that decision. Almost killing the man.

"I hope you make the right choice..." Bolin said as he looked out the window.

An hour has passed and he saw a figure walking towards the front door. It was Mako. He climbed into his room through the window. Bolin fell asleep. 

 

The next day everyone awoken and went to go eat breakfast. Everyone ate in silence. Everyone was about done with their food web suddenly Chief Beifong came into the room with other police officers.

"Lin? What are you doing here?" Tenzin questioned.

"Arrest Mako for murder!" Chief Beifong yelled at the police officers.

"WHAT!! I didn't do anything! I never murdered anyone!" Mako shouted.

One of the officers used its Metal Bending to try to get Mako tangled, but Mako dodged it. Mako ran outside and the officers followed.

"What is the meaning of this?" Tenzin yelling.

"He murdered an old man!" Chief Beifong said as she ran outside with the officers.

"This is all my fault." Bolin said.

"Why? How?" Korra questioned.

"Last night I saw Mako walking to Republic City! I followed him and he attacked the old man! This is all my fault!" Bolin beginning to tear.

"Come on Bolin!" Korra said as she grabbed him and ran outside. 

 

Mako tried dodging the officers Metal Bending, but one grabbed him by the arms. Soon followed by his other arm and his legs. They had Mako on the ground. The officers handcuffed Mako and sent him to Republic City.

"I'm being framed! Stop I didn't kill anyone!" Stop!!" Mako screaming as the took him back to the Police department.  

 

Chief Beifong followed and everyone was in shock. Mako would never kill anyone. Not an old man.
