Korra's Heir (An ATLA/TLOK Fanfiction)

Home (Part 2)

When Hope opened the door to her room, her jaw dropped. Despite the fact that it had no decorations and was painted a disgusting cream color, she couldn't help but stare. The room contained a bookshelf, a king bed, and pink curtains. Even with the objects inside, the room was larger than her old apartment. But where would her parents sleep?

"What about my parents?" she asked Nori, who had accompanied Hope to her room.

"Your parents will not be joining you here. For security reasons. You have to understand that we can't just let anyone in. They will be visiting you here, but they cannot stay."

Hope's heart nearly stopped. What was she going to do? She had never spent a night away from her parents, let alone who-knows-how-long she would have to stay here.

"Now go to sleep, it's late and you're probably tired."

Because she was tired, Hope slept soundly that night. She forgot where she was, and when she woke up, she started to cry. Her life would never be the same anymore. She would have given anything for her old life. This beautiful new room was just a lavish prison.
