Notes: I do not own Legend of Korra or Avatar The Last Airbender.

Italics: Thoughts or flashback.


With You, I Die Too

They rushed me in through the front doors of the Air Temple. Mako and Bolin had a firm grip on my arms and legs and carried me over to the table. Asami's hand was pressed to the gaping wound in my chest, her hands stained black with blood. The air acolyte in the kitchen gasped in horror.

"Get Tenzin! Get Kya!" Mako screamed. His voice sounding like nails on a chalkboard. He was panicked.

Bolin was in my face now. His cheeks streaked with tears. He was trying to smile at me, to make me feel better. "Hold on Korra. You got this, you got this so good."

My head lolled to the side and a swell of blood pressed behind my lips, bubbling to the surface and spilling over. Asami pressed her hands harder and Bolin added his strength to hers.

"Oh, spirits.." Mako whispered, his voice wavering with emotion.

Asami glanced at him, pure horror in her eyes. She screamed, "Help! Tenzin! Ky-" she choked on a sob.

"H-how….bad….is it?" I rasped.

Asami could only glance between the four of us. Bolin tried his best to hide the look of horror in his eyes and only pressed harder. I felt my chest caving hard like it wanted to break.

"Mako! Asami! Bolin! What- Oh spirits…." Tenzin came in a whirl of panic but nearly stopped dead in his tracks at the door. Kya followed soon behind with a bowl of purified water and had to fumble to catch it when she caught sight of me.

"Help…" Asami whispered and held up her hands. They were black from the finger tips to the elbow.

"How is she…..how are you still alive?" Tenzin gasped, stumbling to me in shock. Kya, however, was quicker to move.

"Got…a…tampon?" I joke. Asami and Mako look at me in horror.

"I don't have a lot of time." She whispered harshly under her breath. She water bended the healing water over the wound in my chest. I felt a tingling sensation as the wound began to close; however, it didn't stop me from slipping from consciousness. I felt half a world away when I heard Kya mumble, "There's too much blood. There's just….its inside. I can't get inside."

"Inside…" I mumble and Asami is close by my side again.

"Baby, stay awake. Don't sleep, Korra. Please, don't sleep."

"Pema, stay back! Keep the children out of here, they don't need to see this." I hear Tenzin shout to his wife. I can hear Ikki, Meelo, and Jinora making terrified peeps from the doorway.

Suddenly I feel a pull in my chest and warmth floods over me.

Raava…

"Korra, NO!" Tenzin reaches for me, "Don't go into the avatar state!"

"Raava, help…" I'm crying. I don't want to die.

"Tenzin, I can't…" Kya is crying, still trying to heal the wounds. "It's too extensive. It's too deep I can't heal it. I can't…"

Asami grabs Kya by her shoulders and Kya drops the water in a panic. "Help her!" Asami screams. Her voice is raw with emotion, "Katara was your mother! She's the best! Help her damn it!"

"I cant!"

"Shes dying!"

"I said I cant!" Kya sobbed.

"A-Asami…" I mumble, crying. Everything feels like it's going too slow; the way they walk, their voices, my voice. Everything is so slow…and heavy.

She rushes to my side and takes my hand. I feel her soft lips press against my forehead. "Korra, baby, it's okay. You're going to be okay. Tenzin, get Oogi ready, we're going to the hospital. Maybe if we have more-"

"Yes, more. Yes." Tenzin is nothing but short replies and Jinora offers to get Oogi ready for departure. When he turns back he's wringing his hands nervously.

"Asami…" I mumble again, trying harder. She turns to me and places a hand on my cheek and I feel her wipe at something. I don't know if its blood, tears, or saliva.

"You're okay." She repeats. It's like a mantra and I'm beginning to believe it's more for herself than me.

"I'm dying…"

"You're not dying, and you're not dead, don't talk like that."

I gasp as a shuddering wave passes through me.

"She's going into the avatar state again." I hear Tenzin reply, "We can't let her die in the avatar state. They cycle will end if it does. We can't let that happen!"

I could almost hear Mako tear his hair out, "She's dying and you're concerned about the next fucking avatar?"

Tenzin huffed, frustrated, "Yes, damn it, I am. I don't want Korra to die. I want to do everything in my power to keep her alive! But if she dies, she can't let the avatar die with her. She just can't! A-and where is Jinora?"

Just then a gust of wind filled the room, "Oogi is ready" Jinora huffed, clearly out of breath from rushing, "Dad, i-is Korra…"

I didn't have time to hear the rest before Bolin and Mako had me in their arms again. They were running and I felt jostled. I was bouncing around like a rag doll and it was giving me a headache. My head bobbed against Mako's chest and I could feel Asami's hand wrapped around mine. I slipped again.

When I came to, Tenzin had just got Oogi off the ground. I felt my stomach drop and bile pressed to the back of my throat. I couldn't swallow and I gagged, choking it up.

A cool hand pressed against my face. "We're on our way to the hospital. You're going to be okay." It was Asami. Her voice was so raw, so broken.

"D-don't cry." I manage.

Her tears fall to my face and finally I force my eyes open to see her. My head was in her lap and her face was the most beautifully tragic image I've ever known. Her mascara and eyeliner were smeared leaving black smudges around her eyes. I smile weakly.

"I love you." I try to say but I'm not sure if it came out right.

She gave sad laugh mixed with a sob. "I love you, too. D-dork."

I try to raise my hand but it falls limp at my side. I feel her reach for it again and take my fingers in hers. Her small smile turns into a shaky frown as more tears pour. "I-I'll be….I-I'll….fine…"

"That's right.." She whispers, "You're gonna be fine.."

"P-Proud…"

She nods, tears streaming down her face, "Yes. I am proud of you Korra. We all are. We always have been."

"N-No….proud…you." I cough and my chest sounds like its drowning in water. "So...proud. Love…you."

I feel Raava pull at me one more time. I slip again, falling into unconsciousness. When I awake I'm sitting by the tree of time, before me is Raava. The spirit world is beautiful. The skies are painted with pinks and yellows and blues. Its so…peaceful.

Korra, let me help you..

I shake my head slowly, "Raava…I'm already gone. If you help me, you'll die with me. Then, poof! No more avatar." My head drops. "I didn't want…" I start crying before I can choke out the rest of my sentence.

Then I will go and find the next avatar…

"Yeah." I mumble and wipe at the tears on my cheek, "Yeah, that would be good. H-hey, when you do…remind him to find Asami for me?"

I will try, Korra. Remember: We will be with you…through all your lifetimes.

"Korra?" Asami shakes her shoulders but her head lolls to the side lifelessly, "Korra!" this time more despriate, "Korra, no. No…"

Bolin runs over to them, "No, no, no, no, no—"

Asami fumbles with her glove, "I-I'm going to give her a shock."

Tenzin turns around to watch them but turns back, ushering Oogi faster. They're at the docks of Republic city, just flying over.

"Good idea!" Bolin agrees and watches as Asami pulls on her glove. Bolin sets Korra's head down gently. On three, Asami delivers a huge shock to Korra's chest, watching as her body jumps. The nerves in her arms made her fingers twitch and for a second they were almost hopeful before they realized she still wasn't breathing.

"Again…" Asami whispred and gave her girlfriend another shock.

No response.

Tears began to flow freely now. Tenzin, Mako, Bolin, Kya, Asami, they were all crying.

"Again!" Asami yelled and pressed her hand down to give her another blow, "Damn it Korra wake up!" she charged her glove, "Again!"

"Asami—" Mako reached out but she swatted him away.

"No!" She yelled and pulled Korra closer to her, "no don't touch me! Don't touch her!"

Kya placed a hand on her shoulders, "Asami…she's gone."

"No! She's not! She said she was fine, you guys just don't listen! She's fine. She said…s-she said.." a painful sob wrenched its way from her throat. It was horrible. Asami felt her heart being ripped from her chest. She felt like she had died with her. They were all gone now. Her mother, her father, Korra: All gone. She felt like she was going to vomit and choked it back, pressing her cheek to Korras hair and stroking her face. It was cold.

Tenzin finally landed in front of the hospital, his face falling as depression set in. As the medics ran over to Oogi, the only sound that could be heard over everything that night, was the painful wailing of Asami's cries and lost love.


Notes: Okay, so my first Legend of Korra Story. I know, sad. I don't even know who killed Korra in this lol

I tried to keep everything as close to the belt as I could. I hope nothing was misplaced and no one was OOC. Maybe Asami a little bit but..I don't exactly know.

Reviews and Criticism welcome. Let me know how I did and if you'd like to see more.

As stated in my bio, head-cannons and commissions more than welcome.
