AN: Since it's close to the holidays, I thought I'd give my readers a little present and upload 3 chapters I've written. Hope they're not too awful. Happy reading.
1st Trimester
Korra stared at her opponent, standing opposite of her in the remote swamp area on top of a thick vine prodding out of the water similar to the vine Korra was standing on. Her opponent was a male with short black hair that barely touched his ears. He was built better than most men in the swamp. He also didn't wear loincloths like the rest. He opted to wear green pants that seemed derived from the green skirts the women wore. He didn't have a shirt on, Korra figured it was because he was always training. He had a face similar to Mako's. It made her heart sink every time she looked at him but it also brought her a little comfort.
"You ready to do this or what?" He asked as he cracked his knuckles.
Korra smirked. She spun around, extending her arms to push a wave of water at him. He countered by forming a large icicle in front of him. Once the wave passed, he threw little water darts at her. Korra got nicked in the arm by one of them but she quickly put up a wall of ice to catch any water darts. She did a spinning kick, which sent blocks of ice hurtling towards him.
"Nice. That move was almost like an Earth bender." He said as he dodged the blocks of ice before catching the last one and throwing it to her. Korra broke the ice with her hand, which quickly melted and reformed around her hand into ice to make a fist. She threw a punch to send the ice fist towards him, which he quickly dodged of course.
"It seems there's a lot of anger behind your bending. Does my face make you upset?" He chuckled as he bent streams of water at her.
"Not your face." Korra said.
Before the water could reach Korra, a wave of fire shot across the water, creating a wall between Korra and her opponent. Korra, who was ready to counter his attack, was puzzled. Then she heard Chung-Hee's voice.
'Oh great…'
"Katak! What do you think you're doing?" Chung-Hee yelled as he ran towards her.
"Well, I thought I was training until a certain fire nation boy interrupted me." Korra said.
"You can't be fighting. Our baby's in there!" He pointed to Korra's belly.
As the flames died down, Korra's opponent looked awkwardly at the couple before him. "I'm just gonna go. I have to help my mom with something."
"Great, you made him leave." Korra crossed her arms. "You know, the midwife said I can do just about anything I've been doing before I got pregnant, and I've been bending since I was 3."
"Can't you do something safer, like power walking? I mean look at this, you have a cut on your arm." Chung-Hee grabbed Korra's arm and inspected the cut. "What if that turns into an infection? You could develop lumpy frog throat syndrome!"
"What's lumpy frog throat syndrome?"
"I don't know but it sounds like it'd kill you." Chung-Hee grabbed Korra and put her over his shoulder.
"Hey! Put me down!" She screeched, pounding her fists against his back. He was stronger than she originally thought. Maybe even more so than the guy she was just water bending with.
"Oh no. You're coming back to the hut where it's safe."
"Can you please tell him he's being ridiculous?" Korra had been begging Chung-Hee to let her out of the hut. Ever since he caught her training, he barely let her out of his sight. She couldn't even walk around the village without him becoming paranoid."You know she's just pregnant, not disabled. She's not helpless or anything." Eun-Hee said, sitting in the chair and staring at her brother who was pacing back and forth in front of Korra who was sitting on the bed.
"I know, I know. But it's my first baby. I'm so nervous." He said.
"Lucky that you're not the one giving birth then. She is. Now you know the medic said she needs to relax. How can she relax when you're breathing down her neck ever second of the day? She needs to stay in shape anyway. The more physically fit a woman is, the easier the pregnancy. Were you not paying attention when the midwife explained all this?"
"I'll be honest, I was distracted. I thought I saw a hog monkey outside the window."
"Look, why don't you let me worry about Korra and you worry about taking care of NuNu and your monkey pepper. I think a woman is better suited for the job, don't you think?"
Chung-Hee paused his pacing and thought for a moment. "Well, I suppose." He whistled to NuNu, who perked her head up and ran towards him. "Come on girl, let's go check on daddy's plant." He said before they left out of the hut.
"Thanks for that. He was starting to suffocate me." Korra sighed.
"He means well. He just..gets a little over the top. He really cares about you. You're the first friend he's had in a long time."
"I am? Why?"
"Back at home, he was always beating people up. Not that he was a bully, he just got into a lot of fights for some reason. He was intimidating to people because of it. That's the reason he wanted you to come along with us. We didn't really need a water bender, he just wanted a friend along is all."
Korra felt a little pang of guilt in her heart. She could sympathize with him. She was isolated from a lot of people when she was growing up. Her only real friend was Naga. When she met Bolin and Mako, it was the greatest day of her life. Then Asami came into the picture. She didn't like her at first but Asami grew on her. She loved them to death. Yet she still left them, all because of Amon. Her stomach churned with sickness. She wished things could go back to the way they used to be, when she was happier and stronger. Now she was weaker and she struggled to get out of bed some days.
"I have a meeting to attend, Katak. Get some rest while Chung-Hee's gone, I'll be back in a little while." Eun-Hee stood up from her chair.
"Another meeting?"
"Hey, we're going to be here for at least 9 months. Might as well seal some deals while I'm here."
Later that night...
Korra struggled to keep her eyes opened. It was so dark and cold. Where was she? Wherever she was, she was chained up and suspended in the air.
Footsteps.
Her breathing grew heavier and quicker as the footsteps grew closer.
"Avatar Korra…"
Amon.
"Why are you doing this? Why do you haunt me everywhere? Why..why do you make me suffer?"
"You ruined my family and my life. You ruined everything before I was even born. I will destroy you, mentally and physically. I will make you feel every ounce of pain I've had to feel."
"What are you talking about? I haven't done anything to you! You started all this!"
"Just because you've died, doesn't mean you get to get away with what you've done."
Korra felt his fingers on her forehead.
"NO!"
Korra screamed as she sat up. She was sweating and shaking. She felt so cold despite how warm it was in the swamp.
"Spirits, no..no no." She felt like she was going to hurl but she didn't have the energy to get up and find a toilet or bucket.
She jumped up when someone rushed into the hut. For a second she was worried that it was Amon but she quickly realized it was Chung-Hee.
"I heard screaming, is something wrong?"
He sure moves fast.
"No I.. It was.. No, I'm fine."
"You're shaking." He sat on the edge of her bed and wiped her forehead. "And sweating. Bad dream?"
"Yeah.. That's all it was."
He noted the redness in her eyes. "You've been crying too. Did something happen before we met?"
Before Korra could answer, Eun-Hee entered the hut. "What's going on? I heard screaming?"
"Well, look who decided to show up. You know, someone could have been trying to steal Katak's baby and you'd be too slow to stop them." Chung-Hee crossed his arms as he lectured Eun-Hee.
"How in the world are they going to steal the baby when it's still in her womb and she's barely even showing."
"Don't you use that type of logic here!"
His sister rolled her eyes. "Are you alright, Katak? You're sweating and shaking."
"It was just a nightmare. I'm fine." She tried her best to smile but she knew she wasn't fooling anyone.
"Who's Amon?" The question made Korra cringe. Eun-Hee must have heard her yell it in her sleep.
"Isn't that the guy who basically declared war on Republic City? I heard he can take people's bending away." Chung-Hee scratched his chin.
"Now that you mentioned it.. He does sound familiar. Is that the guy you had a nightmare about?"
"Yeah I uh.. I thought he took my bending away is all. I heard some horror stories about him, told at night. You know, him being some evil spirit and all, trying to eradicate bending." Korra sighed.
"That does sound freaky. Gives me the shivers. Are you going to be alright by yourself or do you want me to sleep with you?" Chung-Hee asked, not noticing the horrified look forming on Eun-Hee's face.
"I'll be fine. I'm just..tired."
He nodded, stood up, and grabbed his sister who still had a horrified look on her face.
"Sweet dreams." He said before he lead himself and his sister out of the hut.
The next day
Tenzin and Lin were held captive in some underground facility housing other prisoners. It was damp, cold, and rancid. There had be hundreds of cells in there and even more prisoners. Lin and Tenzin were kept in a cell together, chained to the wall next to one another. Lin quickly learned that the chains were made out of 100% platinum, which meant they were unbendable. The cells weren't made out of metal. They were made out of wood. Who had time to chop up so much wood?
"I'm getting too old for this." Lin said.
Tenzin sighed. "I hope Korra's alright. I still haven't forgiven myself for what happened to her."
"It's not like it was your fault."
"I know but…"
"Ssssshh. Now's not the time to get sentimental. I sense footsteps." Lin and Tenzin listened carefully, listening to the mutters that accompanied the footsteps.
"…..I need to test it out but it should be ready to go."
"That's why we're here. We can test it on our favorite prisoners."
Tenzin whispered to Lin. "It's Amon's second-in-command and Hiroshi."
"I noticed."
The cell door slid opened and in stepped the Lieutenant and Hiroshi Sato. Hiroshi had a bag in his hand which worried the pair.
"Now how exactly does this work?" The Lieutenant asked.
Hiroshi set the bag on the ground and pulled out this strange device. It consisted of a wire connected to a black box the size of a fist. At the other end of the wire, it split into two wires which were connected to two black, circular pieces. Hiroshi placed the black circles on each side of Lin's head.
"What do you think you're doing?" She demanded.
Hiroshi clipped the black box to Lin's tank top.
"What is this?" She asked.
"Now once you have everything in place, all you need is this." Hiroshi pulled a remote from his pocket with several buttons on it. He pressed the smallest button and the box on Lin's shirt beeped. Suddenly her body jerked as electrical pulses coursed through her body.
"Ah!"
"What are you doing to her?!" Tenzin yelled.
"You can control the intensity with just the remote. You also have control over several boxes at once. You can be in the next room and it'll still work. This is a step towards inventing a device that you can permanently put on someone." Hiroshi smirked.
"A most impressive invention. I'm sure Amon will be happy to see it." The Lieutenant said.
"I am quite happy with it. Mr. Sato, you never fail to please me." Hiroshi and the Lieutenant turned to see Amon standing in the doorway of the wooden cell. They stepped aside to allow him to walk closer to the prisoners.
"Amon, I was just on my way to tell you about some intel I've recently learned. We have reason to believe the Avatar..." The Lieutenant was cut off.
"…Is still in the Earth Kingdom." Amon finished. "She's still safe, for now."
Tenzin's head perked up. "You know where Korra is?!"
Amon turned to walk out of the cell. "Let's just say, I've sent her a personal message."
AN: In case there's any confusion, Amon sent the message in Korra's dream.
