Aftermath

04

Korra managed to go though the whole night without having another nightmare.

When she woke up though, she was alone in the room. Asami wasn't spotted anywhere.

"Asami..?" she said in a quiet tone.

No response

Korra started too feel anxious. The wheel chair was metres away from her and she couldn't scream. She needed someone to bring it to her but she didn't know how to call out for them.

So she was overthinking endlessly, only scaring herself.

"I can do this.." said Korra, reassuring herself.

The moment she tried getting of the bed, she fell straight onto the ground.

She forgot about how her legs were. Completely numb. Which means they were useless.

She didn't feel the pain of her hitting on the ground. Actually, it made her more woke.

Korra was stranded on the ground. Her arms weren't as weak as before but they were still weak. So she just lied down on the hard cold floor.

She put her hair in a low pony tail, since it was getting everywhere. Something she could do alone.

And then she returned to lying down. It wasn't as comfortable as the bed but she couldn't do anything about it. The more she was lying down, the more tired she felt. Even she's been sleeping a lot lately.

One more time, she tried to scream. "Asami." but it came out quieter then before.

"Guess this is my life now." sighed Korra

Couple minutes passed but it felt like ages for Korra. She was patiently waiting on the floor for Asami to come.

A feeling of joy rushed through her when the door opened. In came the heiress, dressed up and all ready for the day.

"Korra?" Asami said looking at the bed.

"Down here." mumbled Korra.

Asami looked on the floor and yelled. She quickly went to the girl and helped her up. "How did you get here?"

"I woke up alone. Thought you left. So I tried to get from the bed to the wheelchair alone, but I couldn't." said Korra.

Asami felt guilty. "I'm sorry.. I was getting ready."

Korra knew that she made Asami sad. "No. Don't worry about me, you can do your own things. It's not your duty to look after me."

"Well I want it to be my duty." countered Asami.

Korra shrugged. "Fine by me."

"Okay.. let's get you ready. Today we will be going for a walk. Just me and you." then Asami realised she might not be comfortable. "unless you want to invite someone else.. it's fine by me." she mumbled.

"No, I just want you." said Korra.

Asami blushed again at Korra's straightforwardness. "Oh.. okay."

Asami took her to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and then realised that she needed to help Korra shower.

"Do you need help showering?" asked Asami.

Korra nodded. "Yeah probably."

Asami turned on the water for the bath, since she realised Korra is physically incapable of standing up and showering. She took of her clothes like the previous day, but this time she wasn't a blushing madness. She managed to compose herself.
