Heroes || A LOK Fanfiction

*Chapter 25

What were your thoughts on the last chapter? Did you think that Dakota would escape the hands of Amon?  THIS CHAPTER HAS BEEN EDITED.

My eyes opened.

The smell of mold and dust quickly filled my nostrils, making me cringe.

Then it all hit me, sacrificing myself with Lin to save Tenzin and his family, along with Grandma. How I bloodbent Amon, who even Tarrlock couldn't keep away. Then...I lost it. He took it from me.

Pulling my knees up to my chest, tears rolled down my face. I never expected this to happen. 

I honestly don't know how to feel. I've faced the threat of losing my bending so many times, yet I never knew it would happen. I felt broken, I felt different, and not in a good way. 

The strength and fight I had was dried up, leaving an empty shell that used to be Dakota Lee. I was the granddaughter of Sokka and Mika. I didn't get my Grandmothers earthbending, but I got my fathers waterbending. My father is Amon, the Equalist leader causing terror throughout the city. 

Yet, I felt like a failure. The girl that everyone would forget. The one that no one cared about.

A sob rippled through me, causing my body to shake.

A hand settled on my shoulder, causing me to jump back, but the shackles on my ankles yanked me back.

My eyes shot up, connecting with a mask that has haunted me for weeks.

"Amon" I hiss, my face angered, yet tears still fell down my face. "Dakota" he whispers, his eyes soft behind the mask.

"What do you want? Haven't you caused me enough pain?" I snap before looking down "Just leave me alone".

"I'm sorry what I did to you Dakota, I truly am" he states before crouching in front of me.

Whipping my head up, I glare at him "Then why did you do it?".

"Because...you were too powerful" he admits, making my eyes widen slightly before narrowing again. "Clearly, you've never bloodbent before, and just the power you held, took years for me to master" he says, making me roll my eyes.

"Let me get something straight father , I don't want to master this nightmare you call a skill. I was protecting my friend and trying to save my home and my family" I state coldly.

"Dakota, I'm trying to protect the world, you need to understand, bending..it's abnormal" he states, making me scoff.

"Then why don't you just take your own bending, and you and your followers can form your own little nation. Republic City was created for everyone from anywhere to live in harmony, yet you can't accept that" I sneer before clenching my fists.

"I was just doing what I think is best!" Amon states.
