Korra tossed and turned in her bed in the air temple, a quiet whimper coming from her lips.

The Avatar was never one to have bad dreams unless something was really, really bothering her.

And tonight was one of those nights.

Another whimper escapes her lips, this time words coming from her afterwords.

"Asami..." She mutters painfully.

Again she turns, sweat running down her face.

Tenzin peeks in tieredly, ready to scold his student for making so much noise until he discovers her current state.

The air bender had found the Avatar like this night after night for the past week, not really sure what was wrong with her.

But whenever her brought up the subject, Korra would push him away like nothing happened.

It only proved more to the master that she was afraid of something, just like she was with Amon.

With narrowed eyes he walks over to Korra, shaking her awake.

"Korra, wake up." He says sternly, keeping g his normal stature.

The bender jolts forward, eyes wide with fear.

Tenzin quirks one of his eyebrows upwards, concerned about what was going on.

"Tenzin. Oh my spirits. Did you have to scare me?" Korra says breathlessly, unable to look her teacher in the eye.

Her mind was freaking out.

She knew it was a dream, it had to be a dream.

Tenzin frowns.

"I'm sorry. You seemed to be having a bad dream... Are you alright Korra?" He asks, resting a comforting hand on her shoulder.

She pushes away, not wanting to see anyone at the moment except a specific non-bender.

"I'm fine." She growls, but her voice comes out almost as a squeak, her voice cracking.

Tenzin let's out a sigh, shaking his head.

"Alright Korra. When you're ready to talk, I'm here." He says with a slight sadness to his voice.

He gets up to leave, looking back before going to see her stare down at her hands, which shake violently.

Tenzin closes her door behind him, walking out into the halls, not entirely sure of how to help Korra when she won't even talk about what's wrong.

Korra meanwhile sat against the wall her bed was pressed against, trying to slow her breathing.

Naga gets up from her place on the floor,walking over to lay her head beside her best friend.

Going off instinct, Korra mindless pulls her hand across the Polarbear-dag's head, earning a cute tail wag.

Naga licks her hand once more, finally gaining her attention.

"I'm fine. Just a bad dream." Korra mutters, laying down to press her forehead to her loyal companion.

She sighs, wishing that she could just see the girl that had almost died in her dream.

She knew it was a dream, but with being the Avatar, one never knows if dreams can be true or not.

With a small sigh she curls into a ball on her bed, with Naga keeping her head beside her.

Tenzin stood by the radio communication device, wondering if calling Korra's friends at this late hour.
