How does it feel

How does it feel 27

Notes: Long somewhat emotional chapter...I kept trying to find places to cut this in half, but nothing felt right. Also I was in a bit of a cursing mood...so...yeah, that happened, but there's a reason for it. Other than that more to come. Thanks for waiting. Let me know your thoughts.

Asami can't help but tremble after everything she had just heard. She stares contemplatively a stark expression painted on her face. It was strange. She'd heard the words, but somewhere within her she felt that she already knew them. Korra's message was just a confirmation.

Korra gulps holding her partner's hand waiting to see what her response was going to be.

Asami is somber unable to make eye contact with her worried fiancé. She breathes out through puckered lips as she stares down at Korra's knees. Her stomach is tight. She nervously chews on her inner cheek as a single tear slowly makes its way down her cheek.

"Asami?" The avatar says softly.

The heiress still can't look at her partner. She takes a trembling breath. "Korra…" She says trying to fight the pain in her throat. She's scared. "Do…do…do you…still wanna be with me?"

The avatar furrows her brow. "Of course I do. I love you." Korra holds her partner's hand a little tighter.

Asami takes in a heavy breath as tears stream down her cheeks. She finally looks up at her partner feeling a bit more secure in the woman's love for her. "This is a lot okay. Would you mind…giving me some time alone please."

Korra stares at her fiancé's face for a moment unable to read her expression. Sure Asami was sad, who wouldn't be, but there was an intensity in her eyes that Korra had never seen before. "I'm here for you Asami. You're not alone okay."

"I know…I just need some time."

The young avatar takes a deep breath and nods softly. She brings Asami's hand to her lips and kisses it then stands to her feet. "I love you baby, no matter what. You take as much time as you need. I'll be just outside alright."

To her surprise Asami smiles. "Thanks."

Korra furrows her brow slightly and half smiles. "Okay." Then she leaves the room. Korra is worried as she closes the door behind her then sits on the floor with her back against it. Asami's reactions were…odd. Not that Korra knew what a normal reaction to immortality would be. It just felt strange that her partner would be so quick to push her away.

Asami's face is blank as tears continue to flow down her cheeks. She can't stop them from falling. It was like her emotions didn't have an off switch. She locks the bedroom door then goes into the bathroom closing the door behind her. She was going to get to the bottom of this one way or another.

"Mizu…" The heiress says as she stands in front of the mirror with her eyes closed. Anger, hostility, and sorrow overtaking her as she glares into her reflection. She takes a deep breath unable to stop the barrage of negative thoughts that were now assaulting her mind. "Mizu." She says firmly not hearing the entity respond to her. Asami is livid shaking her head in disbelief.

As if being sentenced to immortality wasn't enough she found out that Mizu wasn't the only being living within her body. There was one more entity, the one who started all this, the one who forced her to assault the woman she loved, the evil pig who raped and killed Katara, the delusional face stealing, life crushing centipede who'd made her life a living hell was alive and well inside of her.
