"Let's go. We can run away from him. Forever."
"Run away? But what about mom? We can't just leave her!"
"He's right about you. You are a weakling."
Tarrlok quietly walked among the halls of the police headquarters. The normally busy place was quiet with hardly any signs of life. The increased assaults left the police's hands full. Almost every room Tarrlok walked past had papers everywhere. Everything seemed disorganized except the halls which remained pristine.
Behind Tarrlok were two policemen who each held onto the bound arms of a young woman in the middle of them. She held her head down as they walked and she seemed oblivious to the surroundings. She didn't even notice when they approached someone and started talking.
"What's the meaning of this?" Lin asked as she crossed her arms.
"She was arrested for suspicion of conspiring with the Equalists and for being out after curfew." One of the officers piped in.
"That's a load of balogna. Tarrlok, this has got to stop. We're running out of jail room and we can't arrest everyone just because you can't stop Amon. Do you even know her name?"
Tarrlok ignored the jab Lin lashed at him. "The only thing she'd tell us is that her name is Ja-Bol. Other than that, we have no information on her."
"And what exactly do you want me to do? Interrogate her?"
"Exactly."
"You're out of your mind. I don't have time for this."
"Gentlemen, can you excuse us for a moment." Tarrlok said as he turned around and grabbed Ja-Bol's arm as the officers released her. With a quick bow, they turned and started walking down the hall. "Lin, I won't tolerate your disobedient any further."
"And I won't tolerate you abusing your power and the people of Republic City. This has gone far enough, now release her. She's done nothing wrong."
"You'll do as I say or-"
"Or what? You're going to throw me in jail? I'm so scared." Lin rolled her eyes. "I don't have time for this. You deal with this on your own." She turned her back to Tarrlok and took a few steps away from him before he spoke again.
"You don't seem very appreciative towards the person who let you back in the police force." That stopped Lin in her tracks.
"What did you say?"
"You think the president just decided to let you back in because he had a change of heart? No, you were let back in because I allowed it. You're allowed to do these things. Don't you get that I'm in charge? If I want to use you as bait for Amon, I can and I certainly wouldn't hesitate to do so. Or maybe Tenzin's family would make nice bait as well. Or maybe even your sister. What I say goes Lin, so cooperate with me and there won't be any problems. Simple, isn't it?"
Lin's balled her hands into fists. She was tense and her face didn't try to hide it. She wanted to wipe that smirk off his face when she turned around to escort the young woman to the interrogation chambers. "You have some nerve. Don't think this is over."
Relunctantly, Lin had sat down with the girl in one of the rooms. They were seated across from each other with Lin slumped back in the chair with her arms folded while Ja-Bol was slumped forward with her blank eyes glued to the floor. Sometimes a tear drop or two would escape her eyes.
"Look, I'm going to keep it simple. Answer my questions and I'll let you go free. Deal?"
Silence.
"What were you doing out late last night?"
Lin was greeted with more silence. She sighed. She'd be trained for this but it didn't keep her from being impatient.
"Are you or were you ever affiliated with Amon and or his equalists?"
Ja-Bol continued to stare at the floor.
"I don't have time for this. Whatever you're crying about, you need to get over it. At least long enough to answer these questions. You're making things difficult for you and me. I'm going to have to end up putting you one of those cramped cells with a bunch of strangers if you don't cooperate."
"I don't. Remember."
"What?"
Ja-Bol sniffled as she shook her head. "They took my memory. I don't remember."
"Can you tell me what little you do remember?" Finally, they were getting somewhere.
"I...There...There was a man and..and he.."
Lin's face suddenly grew softer and Ja-Bol found her kneeling next to her with a soft hand rubbing her shoulder. "It's alright. I'm the police. The only thing I want to do is help you, not hurt you. You can tell me."
Ja-Bol wiped her eyes. As she spoke, she tried to keep her voice from cracking. "He..was spreading my...um..my legs and..my pants were...gone."
"Oh no..."
"Then a man. I..I think it was man. He, he had a mask. Then..there was yelling."
"Is there anything else?"
"These..people. There were..three,..three of them. They put me on my knees and..one of them..put her hand on my forehead. I..I guess I blacked out."
There were few times when Lin showed her soft side and this would be one of them, but she didn't mind it for this situation. She was more concerned with helping Jab-Bol than worrying about people talking behind her back about her "soft spot".
"Well first thing's first, let's get you to a medic so you can be checked over."

To say Tarrlok was annoyed was an understatement. He'd been pacing outside of the clinic within the Police Headquarters. He wanted to see that girl in jail. Everyone was the enemy until proven innocent but Lin was too busy helping out the enemy. He spent the last 10 minutes thinking of how he was going to lash out at her. He wanted to storm into the room and cause a fuss but he had to keep his composure and cool down before he did something rash. His thoughts were interupted when Lin emerged from the sliding door.
"What exactly do you think you're doing?" His voice was laced with venom but Lin wasn't surprised nor was she scared.
"I'm doing my job. And what are you doing besides harming innocent people?"
"Your job was to interrogate her and put her in jail for breaking the law. Or did you forget that your job is to enforce the law?"
"This woman did nothing wrong. She was assaulted and the healer says her chi was recently blocked. Whoever did this to her took some of her memory away as well. She barely remembers anything within the last few months."
"So she was involved with the Equalists, or at least, encountered them."
Lin opened her mouth to say something but the healer emerged from the room Lin was previously in. She was holding a clipboard with a pen in one hand. "Ms. Bei Fong, I have some good news."
Lin and Tarrlok's attention were now focused on the female healer, who seemed to be a little nervous about it.
"Um, well. We found no forced entry, or any um, evidence of any type of entry at that."
"That's great to hear."
"Forced entry? Let me see that." Tarrlok walked over to the healer and snatched the clipboard out of her hand, making her jump and retreat back into the room with Ja-Bol. "So, she has you believing she was sexually assaulted."
"She's not lying, trust me. I can spot a liar a mile away."
"Well in any case, she'll get over it. Lock her in a cell and be done with her. I suspect we'll have more criminals coming in so don't waste anymore time on her."
"I'm not turning my back on her. I'm not like you, Tarrlok. I know where my duty lies and it's to Republic City. Making half the city suffer because you're too incompetent is not helping the rebellion situation at all."
"Oh, save the hero talk. You talk as if you became a police officer just to help people. We all know your mommy issues drove you to get this job just so you could get a little attention from her, which obviously didn't work."
Lin's eyes narrowed at Tarrlok. He dealt a low blow at her and she wasn't having it. "You have some nerve. You walk around like you're the baddest thing Republic City has to offer. If I have mother issues then you have even bigger unresolved father issues. Your father couldn't teach you anything about being a man, that's why you hide behind your little Task Force. It makes you feel bigger and stronger, but if you had to go toe-to-toe with Amon he would wipe the floor with you and you know it. You're just as weak as you are ignorant."
Normally Lin was ready for any attack and could feel a person about to make the wrong move, but Tarrlok caught her by surprised when he slammed her into a wall with his hand gripping her shoulder. The anger in his eyes bore into hers and gave her a deep satisfaction. She had gotten under his skin and she liked it. She never broke eye contact with him.
"Listen here, and listen well Cheif Beifong, if you still want to be called that, you'll do exactly as I say. The next wrong move, the next wrong thing you say will be your undoing. I have been more than cordial with you and I am done. I want to see that girl processed and booked in a cell by tomorrow."
Lin said nothing, only letting her eyes pierce his as she shoved him away from her body, then turned around and returned to the healing room.

Meanwhile
"I am SO hungry!" Bolin cried.
"You said that five minutes ago!" Mako said in annoyance. The gang had been flying on an air bison for a few hours now. Mako was upfront, holding onto the rein while Bolin and Asami were sitting in the large saddle.
"Yea, well, I'm still hungry."
"You wouldn't be hungry if you hadn't of dropped all the food while we were flying." Mako replied.
"Well I said I was sorry." Bolin pouted as he rested his folded his arms on the edge of the saddle and put his head down. It was silent for a few minutes before Bolin spoke up again. "Hey, you think we could milk the bison?"
"Bolin, we are not stopping the bison so you can milk it. This bison likely isn't even producing any milk." Asami said. "And in any case, there's a town about coming up in about an hour, we can stop there to stock up on some food."
"You know, Tenzin told me he tried to milk a bison once." Bolin said as he scratched his chin.
Mako raised an eyebrow. "He did?"
"Yea, he tried to milk Appa when he was a kid."
"But..Appa's a male. The males don't produce milk." Asami said.
"Yea..he found that out the hard way."

Tarrlok was standing in front of his bathroom mirror. He didn't even bother turning on a light or lighting a candle. The only light was the moon shining through one of two small windows. Tarrlok stood in front of a wooden basin that was next to the door. Across the door was a toilet and next to the toilet was a wooden bathtub. It was a small bathroom but it got the job done.
'How dare she defy me. I am not weak. I'll show her, I'll show everyone. I'll find the Avatar, squash the rebellion, and rise my way to the top of the political ladder.'
As he stared in the mirror, he could see visions of his younger face flash before him. The innocence in his eyes was permanetly gone and replaced with pain and sorrow. Leaning forward, his hands gripped the sides of the basin as his staring grew more intense. The visions of his younger self was gone and replaced by his father. That cold face and unforgiving eyes.
"I made you what you are..."
"No..I am not like him."
"Your job is to destroy the Avatar and avenge me."
He wasn't destroying the Avatar. Maybe he was using her for his own personal gain but that wasn't killing her. It was a completely different situation. He was going to make the Avatar do her duty. He was doing the world a favor. She could rid the world of people like his father and Amon, she just had to follow his command without question or hesitation. He wasn't controlling her, she was suppose to do it anyway. He was nothing like his father.
"I'm not like him at all. He controlled everyone with abuse. I don't abuse. I don't control anyone. I don't!" His fist slammed into the mirror, breaking it into pieces that fell into the basin. He didn't even notice that he was breathing heavy, or that blood was running down his hand and wrist. He stumbled backwards and landed on his behind with both hands now clutching the hair near his temples like he was going to rip them out.
"Why...Why did it have to happen to me? To us?"

The next morning in the Earth Kingdom
Korra, or Katak as she was now calling herself, Chung-Hee, and Eun-Hee had began their journey to the mysterious swamp along with Korra's new canine companion. Their choice of transportation was a giant rhinoceros beetle, much to the dismay of Chung-Hee who argued over getting the camelephant but settled for the beetle since it could carry more of their things. They were 3 days into their journey and only a day or two away from the swamp.
"You know, riding in a giant rhinoceros is a lot more comfortable than I thought. Katak's even been sleeping the whole ride." The male firebender said as he looked over at the sleeping Avatar, who had curled up in a ball and fall asleep across from the twins. Her dog, which she had discovered was female and decided to name Nunu, was curled up next to her but wide awake panting and relaxing.
Eun-Hee had her eyes closed and her arms crossed across her chest. "Are you sure she just doesn't sleep a lot?"
"Well..that could also be true, but I like to think the gently swaying and breeze helps calms the nerves and mind. It's so relaxing don't you think? You can just slow your eyes, feel the slight wind in your face, rock to the motion of the beetle and-"
Korra had suddenly leaned over the saddle of the beetle and vomitted.
"Nice going, you got her sick with your none-sense!"
"Hey don't blame me, she's been sick ever since she tagged along."
"Your cologne probably makes her nauseous."
"Oh I see, you're just trying to pin her sickness on me. Well maybe she got sick eating your horrible noodles the first night she stayed with us."
"I'll have you know that I am an excellent cook! Mom even gave me the recipe herself."
"Tch, she'd be disappointed that you can't even make noodles right."
"You have some nerve, you couldn't even boil water without catching something on fire."
"Hey, that was one time!"
Their argument was interupted by the sound of snoring. They had looked over at Nunu first but found she was awake, then their eyes fell on Korra who had apparently fallen alseep while still leaning over the edge of the saddle.
"You know, I'm starting to think her sickness and frequent sleeping might be tied together." Chung-Hee said as he began to rub the bottom of his chin as if he were in deep thought. His serious face suddenly turned into a look of excitement. "Wait a minute, I think I'm getting some facial hair!"
Eun-Hee rolled her eyes and flicked a flame towards her twin's face, causing him to fall over with distraught. "Gah! You almost singed my facial hair!"
Neither of them noticed the twisted, almost pained look on Korra's face as she slept.
"Hello? Is there anyone here? Somebody? Anybody..." Korra found herself surrounded by darkness. She couldn't even see her hands in front of her. Everything felt so cold and empty. All she could do was cry out for someone.
Regret filled her as she heard a cackling behind her. Spinning around, she found herself face to face with Amon, or at least his mask. She wanted to run away and hide but her body wouldn't move. She was paralyzed as her eyes stared into his. They looked sinister but they had..something behind them. What was it?
She didn't have time to ponder the question as she found herself on her back, naked, with Amon thrusting between her legs. His mask was off but she still couldn't see his face as it was buried in the crook of her neck. What sickened her wasn't the fact that he was inside her, but the fact that he was holding her, embracing her like they were lovers. She felt his lips on her neck. She wanted to smack him, kick him, scratch, bite him, something violent but she still couldn't move.
All movement ceased and for a second, she thought he wasn't breathing until she heard soft sobs against her neck. He was crying?
"Why? Why are you the one crying?" She asked.
He peeled his face from her neck. His face was dark and covered by shadows but she could still see the tears trickling down his face. "I'm sorry." She heard him whisper, before he slowly disintegrated in front of her.
There was she was. Alone again. She couldn't stand the darkness. It felt cold and unforgiving. But something was in the distance. A light? Korra found herself walking towards it and each step made the light brighter. She heard a deep yet feminine voice speak to her. It was soothing.
"Light is creation. Darkness is the space necessary to create."
"Huh?" Korra was close enough to touch the light. She extended her arm out to touch it.
"Within the darkness shall come a new light." The words echoed through her mind as she touched the warm light but the second she touched it, a burst of light flashed in front of her. The sound of a newborn baby wailing filled her ears.
And his.
Amon's eyes snapped open. His entire body was covered in sweat yet he was cold. There was a pounding sensation radiating through his head. His eyes lingered on the ceiling before he sat up in his bed. The sun's rays hit his body like a burst of warmth. Wait, the sun?
"I slept through the night?" Normally he was up before dawn. Even still, he felt worn out and drained as if he hadn't sleep in the first place. "Tired or not, I have a job to do."

"Katak. Katak. Hellooo, are you in there?"
"Will you shut up, you sound obnoxious. Can't you see she's already waking up?"
Korra's eyes slowly opened. Everything was blurry; All she could make out was two figures standing in front of her. From the voices, she knew it was Chung-Hee and Eun-Hee and judging by their tone of voice, they were arguing again.
"W-What is it?" Korra asked as she rubbed her eyes, getting rid of the blurry vision. Looking around, she saw they were still in the beetle but it stopped moving. Korra noticed a canteen was held in front of her face.
"You've been sleeping for a while and you haven't eaten or drunk anything." Eun-Hee motioned for Korra to take the water, who eagerly started to gulp it down.
"And we're here!" Korra heard Chung-Hee bellow as she swallowed the last few drops of water.
