Korra's Heir (An ATLA/TLOK Fanfiction)

Betrayed

When Hope leaned down to empty the wastebasket in her room, she spotted two letters. On one, she recognized the handwriting as being similar to Nori's handwriting. The other looked official:

𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘒𝘢𝘥𝘭𝘪𝘯,

𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮,

T𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳

Hope gasped. The date on the letter meant it had been mailed exactly a week ago! Nori was in danger!

 And worst of all, Kadlin, the trustworthy, hardworking sentry, had betrayed the White Lotus and was in on the plot to kill the person closest to her.

Hope's eyes flashed for a moment and harsh wind swept around the room, but she quickly calmed down. There was no point in being angry. She could still prevent this

As if on cue, Nori showed up. She was wearing travel clothes and carrying a suitcase. She waved goodbye at Hope. Hope sprinted to the young woman she considered family and explained the peril she was in. Nori's eyes grew wide, and she dropped her suitcase.

"We have to go. Now. If they find me here and find out you know the plot against me, we will be in danger and might even die. Luckily, I'm all packed up." Hope heard someone's Satomobile stop in front of the building, and Hope quickly gestured out the huge window in her room. Nori nodded.

Hope earthbent a small pillar from the yard right outside her window. Both of them stood on it while Hope lowered it onto the ground. Nori held Leo, whom Hope had gotten close to. Then, they quickly escaped the place Hope had known as home for nearly six months. By the time Kadlin answered the door and let Contact #783 in, Hope, Nori, and Leo were long gone.
