I'm suddenly hooked on Legend of Korra. Oh, wellll. I love it so much, especially Mako and Korra. MAKORRA. Hehehe. :D Ever mention how hard I ship them? AHHH, SO MUCH. I'm posting both chapters together, so they're both practically going up at the same time. Because if I'd made it one chapter, it would have ended up being around 4 or 5 thousand words ._. too long.

Just finished the Percabeth story, check that out! (:

Merr. I'm doing Korra's point of view first, then it'll switch out and repeat a part or two in his point of view. :D Because Mako is a protective son of a bitch ;D

I felt the lightning hit me, as I fell to the ground. I tried frantically to remember how to redirect. Something about not letting it pass through the heart.. How can I forget?

"Augh!" I grunted as I hit the ground. I needed time. Just a few seconds, to regain my thoughts. No, that wouldn't happen, though. It was like being in the ring, there wasn't time to think. Dodge, and bend.

After one painful deep breath, I felt my insides burn as I stood and chopped open the door, freezing water as I ran, trapping Amon, not for long. I jumped, and molded the snow around me so that it was a shield as I slid down the mountainside.

I made it! I'm relatively safe now! I didn't get my bending taken away! Take that, Amon! All four thoughts ran through my head simultaneously, that is, until I lost of footing. For about half a second, I was sure I was about to wet my pants. Darn root, if it hadn't gotten in my way, I might have made it. I hit the ground alot harder than what seemed possible, head first. I felt something around my left elbow go pop! the pain hit me almost instantly.

I hit the tree rolling, and I felt the shock of snow falling on my body. I can't do this, I thought as my vision danced with rolling blurs. I opened them again to find that it had gotten worse. I was bleeding out of scrapes, cuts, and possibly new scars. Even if they tried to heal me— if they ever found me— it would be too late. The cold or infection would kill me. Who knew how long I'd be out here, too long.

You're a terrible excuse for an Avatar, I told myself, setting my hand down as if I were going to try and stand up, yeah right. I only managed to flip myself over onto my back, so I could breathe right, without strain. That only sent a thousand electric pings of pain shooting through me, I gasped as I felt it fade. Something was wrong. I don't mean that in an obvious way, but I'd done something to my left arm that kept me from using it completely.

I stuck my good hand in the snow, and melted it. I tried to heal myself, and tried. I could barely look at that arm without wanting to puke. I must have fallen hard on it.

I tried to move my left arm again, no success. I grunted in pain, making a small groan before letting my eyes shut. The last thing I remembered was a pounding in my head, as I began to let go. I physically couldn't do this, and I decided I'd rather die than disappoint so many people. What help I was, I couldn't even airbend!

I thought about Mako. He was so happy with Asami. As much as I liked her, I couldn't say that I liked their relationship. I hated it, in fact. Which made me feel terrible, like dirt. Mako seemed really content with her, pleased almost. Except for the fact that he was with her, not me.

I am dirt.

I drifted into a slumber that felt quite inconceivable.

I jolted awake when I heard someone yell my name, and was automatically defensive, but my body screamed in disagreement when I tried to barely move. Let alone getting up off the ground.

Right. I kind of fell. Tenzin is going to kill me. Oh, crap. I need to get up and pretend to be fine, because I am. I am fine. I am not hurt.

My left arm and bleeding cuts begged to differ.

"Korra!" I heard the voice get louder. I recognized the voice, but I couldn't pinpoint who or where it was coming from. I shivered, still cold.

"Korra! Thank god!" I heard it again. It was a man. I heard him plummit down next to me, regaining his stance.

I felt hands on me, and made a groan, then found my voice buried deep. "I'm fine," I whispered, "J-Just chilly."

Mako chuckled, slightly impatient. "You don't look like you're okay." I felt his warm hand feel my wrist, checking my pulse. "Awful slow, there," I could imagine him shaking his head. "I should have known, I was so worried, Korra."

I swallowed, then opened my eyes. Mako was kneeling next to me, his eyes full of worry. My head pounded as I blinked, I was more than glad that he found me.

"I can walk," I tried to say, propping myself up on the side I could actually move. I smiled a cheesy smile, tempted to be a smart aleck and add a 'see?' in there. I did not, though, because his eyebrows closed in together, anger taking over his face. I flinched back.

"Korra, don't," He said, trying to keep calm. Then his face went back to being worried. I wondered what he was thinking at that moment.

Mako examined me, his eyes going from worried to angry. He shook his head, "This may hurt, I'm sorry, Korra. If I hurt you," He pauses and looks up then shakes his head. "just make a sound." He then proceeded to scoop me up, carrying me bridal style. I looked up into his furrowed brows, his amber eyes stared back. I welcomed the warmth of his body, snuggling closer. I tried to move my left arm so I held on to him a little, but I must have winced too much, he noticed. He scanned my body, where he could touch me, where it hurt. Particularly my neck.

"Korra," He said, his eyes somewhat soft, his voice angered. "What did that.. that bastard do to you?"

I struggled to keep my voice level. "I'll explain l-l-later," I told him, shivering again. I inhaled his scent, exhaling in shallow breaths.

I felt us sit down, probably on Oogi. I could feel my knees were over his legs, so he was still holding me close to himself. Mako hadn't gotten this close to me since we kissed, which was still quite a while ago. He moved a few strands of wet hair from my face, flitting over my neck. "Okay, then. You're safe now. Just relax."

"You found her!" Tenzin's voice echoed out soon enough. They must have split up.

I felt a blanket get draped around us, I still shivered pretty bad.

"Yeah, can you get the others?" Mako asked, his warm breath hitting my face. I shivered, anything now would have felt warm to me.

I heard Asami huff, sitting down next to Mako and I. "Guess she's safe." I mentally rolled my eyes, of course I was now.

"Now, anyways," Tenzin said for me, his voice still panicked. "We're lucky."

"I'm fine!" I insisted for the last time. I was the Avatar, I'd heal up great. I could feel Mako shaking with laughter. This made me angrier.

Mako rubbed small circles on my back, trying to be comforting. I probably blushed. Probably.

Everything fell silent, except for the whistle that the wind made as we flew. It was nice, until I felt Oogi slow down, then a huge bump as we landed. Mako's arms tightened around me, as he stood up with me, I savored the time I had in the safety of his arms, his protection... Once in a while, even the Avatar needed protection. Mako fixed the blanket so it covered some of my face, up to my nose. I was still cold.

As we stepped down, I felt them handing me off, Tenzin taking me to be healed, or to try and heal me, at least. I wasn't sure if it would work or not. The odds seemed to always be against me. I didn't want to be healed, I didn't want to leave Mako's arms.

"I'm going with you," Mako demanded.

"No," Tenzin said immediately. "It takes time to be healed, you go to sleep. She'll be up at some point this week."

"This week? It'll take that long?" Mako sighed to calm himself. "You're right, I'll go rest for a bit."

Good, go rest, Mako. You earned it, I thought, beginning to fall into a slumber myself. I went to tilt my head, but felt a small prick on my neck, and winced again. It wasn't anything painful, but it was a just like a needle.

My mind was full of thousands of different thoughts, each one either about Mako, or the fact that he held me. He found me. He worried about me. And got protective. Over me.

That night, I dreamed about him. No nightmares, no fear. The next night, I wouldn't have been so lucky. But for tonight, I was whole. Tonight, I let my imagination run wild.

Despite being beaten a few times and falling off the side of a mountain, and being in the cold for a few hours, I was almost pleased.

Guys, I love writing this! ^.^

The next chapter is going to be in Mako's POV, writing that right now, for the win. Aaand the aftermath. Whoa, if you review, i'll give you a cookie! :3

So, review for me, please? (:
