Let Me Go and Don't Try to Fix Me

"Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello I am the lie living for you so you can hide"


Chapter Ten: You are Here

"All this time,

I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me"

He stood in the middle of the market place, leaning against the wall of a stall. A half bored expression on his face as he listened to the hustle and bustle of venders shouting out for attention and customers haggling with sellers for a lower price. Chief Beifong had told him to go there for the day 'to keep it under control' really, she just wanted to give him a break. Mako had practically lived in the Police Station. He had thrown himself fully into his work. (Wasn't that a good thing?) It made it easier for him. He rather worry about trying not to get Chi-blocked (by now there were less and less equalists by the day) then worry about trivial things; like that dream. By now, it was obvious that the dream was important and he shouldn't be ignoring it like he was. But Mako could never really bring himself to think or even speck about it. Every time he did, all Mako could see were these sad gold eyes with specks of blue. The eyes were so full of sadness and they had one question 'Why? Why Mako? Why did you leave us alone?'

So he decided to think about Korra. He missed her voice, and her laugh. He would give anything just to hear it again. Even if she was yelling at him. Mako wanted to look into her big blue eyes that held the ocean. He wished that he wasn't such a coward. When she lost her bending, instead of telling her that he looked her; he only asked if they could celebrate. "Why couldn't I just have told her?" He was brought out of his trance when he felt a tugging on his pant leg. Looking down Mako was very surprised to see two of the four airbending children in front of him. Jinora and Ikki. "What in the name of Agni?"

Ikki was on the verge of tears, while Jinora was rubbing her back. "Can you help us?" Jinora asked. Mako bent down on his knees.

"What do you need?"

"I got lost.—Jinora followed me—We were shopping with Kor and then since we were so good, she was going to buy us some candy..." Ikki sniffled out. Her quivering voice almost made it hard for Mako to understand her.

"And then...?"

"I saw some dolls, so I walked toward them. When I turned around Jinora was next to me and we were lost. She was gone." Ikki continued.

"Who was gone Ikki?"
"Kor—''

"THERE YOU ARE!" Their conversation was interrupted by a voice. A woman dressed in Air Acolyte garb came up. Ikki and Jinora ran to hug her. Mako's brain stopped when he saw her. She looked so familiar. Standing up, he could see that she had dark black hair and somewhat tan skin. Not as tan as Korra's. "Stop, don't think about her. It will only make things worst." But it was her eyes that drew Mako to her. They were the this familiar shade of blue. They were eyes Mako had seen before. The eyes were cerulean and instead of being filled with happiness, they were guarded and harsh. Make-up outlined her eyes that seemed so much like the ones that haunted his dreams. Her lips were painted with a rouge color and blush doted her cheeks. Mako swore that he had seen this face before.

"Thank you very much for finding them, I don't know what I would have done. Thank you Officer...?" Her voice was clear, like water flowing down a stream. It just sounded so familiar.

"Mako." His cleared his throat awkwardly. "Not a problem? Miss...?"

The girl shifted uncomfortably. Ikki was about to speak up when Jinora hushed her with a glare. "Kenna." Kenna smiled, but Mako could tell it was a polite smile and she did not want to be around him.

"Have a good day. Also tell Pema I said hello!"

She froze, "You know he—." Kenna caught herself. And continued on speaking " OH. Sorry I didn't recognize you. I am new on Air Temple Island. Are you the brother of Bolin?"

"Yes. Do you want me to say Hello for you?"

"Yes,thank you. Have a nice day." She one with she grabbed Jinora's hand and Ikki grabbed Jinora's. With her other hand she held the bag with her purchases from the market. As she did, Mako saw the fabric of her sash shift around her belly. She was with a child! Kenna and the girls were walking out of the Market.

"Allow me to help." Mako ran up to Kenna. His eyes visibly flicked toward her belly, his way of letting her know that he knew about the baby. As he looked up at her face (she was so short. Mako wondered how anyone could be that tiny.) she looked scared. Like she didn't want him to know. "Please? Just let me walk you to the Ferry."

Kenna rolled her eyes and said "Fine. Watch Ikki and Jinora. They are a handful." Her voice and tone told Mako that she didn't want him around, but her eyes for once were not so guarded. They looked a bit sad and full of longing. As they walked toward the Ferry Dock, Mako tried to make some conversation.

"That's a nice dolly you have Ikki. Who gave it to you?" The doll was of water tribe style and it looked brand new.

"Korra gave it me yesterday. She already had too many baby toys." Ikki replied innocently.

Mako and Kenna stopped walking.

"What?!" Mako said. The sentence made no sense. "Korra? Baby toys? But she is in the Southern Pole!" He thought frantically. He looked Kenna, she was having her own panic attack herself.

"Ikki!You can't just tell people that Korra came back!" Jinora scolded Ikki. She turned to Mako, explaining to him " Korra needed some Airbending scrolls and advice from Tenzin. So she came yesterday and is heading back tomorrow to the South Pole tomorrow. She brought her old toys from when she was younger and gave them to us."

"Then why didn't she tell anyone? Her best friends are here." Mako asked. The story made sense, but it didn't feel right. Something was off.

"She didn't want to make a nuisance. It was just for a day."

"She's hiding something from us. Isn't she?" Mako stated calmly. Jinora was silent at this. Mako turned to look at Kenna.

"Maybe. But she has reasons and it is not our place to question her. Have ever had a secret that you wanted to tell so bad, but you couldn't; because it would hurt someone else? That's what it's like for her."

"And you know this how?" Mako asked. They were now at the edge of the dock, waiting for the Ferry.

"I know her better than you think." The horn of the Ferry boat sounded Kenna and the airbending children were gone.

Air Temple Island

Korra's Room.

Korra wiped the last bit of make-up off her face. She was exhausted and so very tired. Being five months pregnant had taking a lot out of her. She lay on her bed thought of today's events. When she saw Ikki and Jinora talk to Mako, Korra wished that she could disappear. Bolin had told her about the 'Kenna' so, if she ever met anyone she knew, Kenna would be her name. (Like today.) She was so relived that Mako bought the lie, even if she was shooting death glares at him every minute. But after a bit, Korra had just begin to realize how much she had missed him. Then Ikki blew her cover; luckily Jinora covered it up. (Thank the spirits that Jinora could lie so well.) Although, she would have to have a serious talk with Ikki. With a lie here and there, Mako never suspected a thing. Or would he?

Republic City

Mako's Room

He tossed and turned. Sleep would not come to him. After what seemed like hours his eye-lids grew heavy and he fell into a deep sleep.

The dream began different from the others. Mako was awake, he was not running or doing another thing. He was seated in couch, a warm body leaned on to his. He looked down at it. It was Korra. She was asleep on him, her eyes closed and a light smile on her face. Her belly was very round and Mako knew the child was his. He felt light kicking under his palm where his hand was on her belly. Mako had never felt happier. Korra mumbled his name in her sleep and snuggled closer to him.

Mako woke up and suddenly, he knew. It all made sense now. He ran around his room, fumbling for clothes and tripping over objects. His mind went on overdrive as he made his way to Ait Temple Island. He had to say something. She was there. It made sense, everything was clear now. The Ferry wasn't running at night, so he began to swim. The cold water bit at him, but Mako used his inner-chi to heat himself. finally he was there. He climbed over to her room. The window was open, so he entered her room.

"Korra, I'm here."
