When Asami had been locked inside the small opening by Korra she thought that the avatar was walking straight to her death. But when she heard the countless screams of men moments later followed by the obvious sounds of bending being used she didn't know what to think.

"She can't take them all on I mean she's the avatar but she still only has one good arm. Hopefully the noise will attract the police and they can help." Asami said pacing along the barrier.

On the other side of the barrier a different story was happening. Korra had rushed the nearest guy grabbing him by the throat and using him as a shield from oncoming blasts before throwing him into another guy before bending flames from her mouth creating a wall of fire. Two men avoided the flames and rushed her from both sides, but Korra saw them coming and waited for them to get close before slamming her leg into their knees shattering them before using earth pillars to shoot their broken bodies hurdling over the flames.

"Is this all! come one use your bending send for more fighters! ignore your pain and fight!" She said extinguishing the flames with one hand as she moved closer to a group of eight terrified thugs. One of them freaked out and tried to run but Korra only smirked and raised her hand and the man went stiff and was just as easily flung into a tree before she turned to the others.

"What kind of monster are you!?" seconds later the man felt his entire body being crushed as his two slabs slammed into him.

"And then there were six." Thinking of nothing else but survival they all sent two streams of fire straight at her. She only smiled and raided herself ten feet on a earth pillar before sending pieces of it as spikes into their arms and legs. When she jumped off she found only three were standing.

In her entire life Korra had never once enjoyed hurting people or her darker self, but these men had attacked her and Asami when they were on a date so they deserve everything that happened to them. Two men pulled out knives and moved in front of their leader.

"Run boss we'll hold her off!" not even bothering to say thanks the leader ran full speed into nearby trees as his boys rushed foward. With a stomp a block of earth rose up hitting one in the chin and with a spin kick a chunk broke off and was sent into the side of the other. Korra then moved to the fallen foes and picked up one by his throat before sinking her teeth into his neck and letting the blood flow into her mouth before throwing his lifeless body to the ground as she moved to the other one.

"Please have mercy you're a good guy so you're supposed to arrest me." But Korra wasn't listening to him or anything else. All she could feel was anger and hunger so instead she encased her hand with earth making a spike before plunging it into his chest.

His last words were noting more than bloody screams. But as her anger and hunger subsided she looked around at the carnage and devastation she had caused the men and most of the area and felt nothing but disgust.

"What have I done? I only wanted to protect Asami... oh crap Asami!" she runs back to where she has sealed her girlfriend only stopping for a second at the realization that she thought of Asami as her girlfriend and with both hands destroyed the barrier freeing Asami.

"Asami are you alright?" she asked as she reached her only to get slapped moments later.

"That was for sealing me in here!"

Korra touched her cheek and looked to Asami's now furious eyes.

"I deserved that." What she didn't deserve was the kiss that came moments later as Asami nearly tackled her in a hug.

"Don't ever do that again! Do you have any idea how worried I was about you? I lost one person I care about to the triads and I don't want to loose another."

Korra just smiled softly and pulled Asami closer.

"It's alright Asami I'm fine."

"Fine? you're covered in blood! we have to get you to a healer!"

"Asami... this bloods not mine in fact I don't think they even touched me."

Confused at this Asami gave Korra's body a pat down to try to find a wound but when she didn't find a single cut or burnt flesh she became confused.

"Korra I know you're the avatar but how can you take on twelve guys and not come out without a scratch? I heard screaming and cries of pain."

Korra couldn't bring herself to look into Asami's eyes knowing that moments before she had caused the screams as she broke the bones of her attackers without a second thought.

"Korra there's something you're not telling me and I hate when people lie to me so if you don't want me any angrier please tell me."

"Fine come by the temple tomorrow morning and I'll tell you everything and if afterwards you don't want to be near me again I'll understand."

Whe the sound of sirens filled the air Korra took off not wanting to be here to answer questions. Not stopping when she reached the dock she jumped off and used her bending to ride the waves all the way to the island only slowing when she saw lights in her her room. She climbed in through the open window where Katara was waiting.

"Korra you had better have a good reason for sneaking into your room this late and" her eyes widened when she say the blood on her clothes and the red stains on her mouth.

"What happened?"

"Well we went shopping and she showed me around the town which was fun. And then when sunset came she kissed me and told me she wanted to go out again."

"Well that's good news at least but please tell me that's not her blood on your clothes."

"No! we ran into some thugs in the park when the sun went down and I sealed her inside a tunnel then... I dealt with them. When it was over she slapped me for doing so and she'll be by tommrow to get some answers." Korra looked up at her mentor who had gone quiet during the story.

"So you're girlfriend will be by tomorrow? You seem more worried about that then anything else."

"Yeah well those guys were scum who got what they deserved." Katara noticed the coldness in her voice as if she thought nothing of what she had done.

"I take it you don't need the potion then?" Katara had already guessed that Korra had fed on at least someone tonight and took solace in the fact that it had been attacker and not Asami. She just worried that if these attacks kept up then Korra would get a craving for fighting and bloodshed something Katara had tried to steer Korra from during her training.

"I just want to be left alone for a while If that's okay."

Katara nodded as she helped Korra out of her bloody chothes so that she could clean and repair them later. As soon as Korra was alone she colasped on the bed as her mind raced on what she would tell Asami tommrow.
"If I tell her what I am she'll either be afarid or hate me. But if I don't tell her she'll get angry that I'm lying to her. How do I tell her that I'm a monster."

As she pondered on what to do she felt a coldness spread over her body similar to what she felt a night but different. When she opened her eyes and looked around she saw her room was completely covered in a black fog that seemed to envelop all light.

"You're only a monster if you believe you are" A voice stated from her left causing her to jump out of the bed only to see a young man with silver eyes with a scar just below his left eye.

"Who are you?"

The man looked taken back for a second but then shrugged as if it wasn't the first time this had happened.

"The names Jiaya and I was the first dark avatar so I'm kind of an expert on what you're going through."

"But I've never been able to reach any of the past avatars so how why now?"

"That's not exactly true if anything the dark avatars are more connected than others."

"Huh?"

"Your visions are memories of our darkest moments. Normally a avatar can only do that in the avatar state but you see our memories every night, but as for why now well I just came to offer some advice. When you meet the right person they won't care what you are and when that time comes you won't feel the need to hide what you are."

Korra didn't understand what he ment by that and when she was about to ask he smiled before turning into a bat and flying into the fog before it all vanished as fast as it had appeared.

"Well at least now I know I'm not a failure at my spiritual side." But it didn't really help with what she was going to say to Asami in a few hours.

When Asami finally did arrive Korra took her hand and guided her back to her room where she took a seat on the bed and crossed her arms over her chest.

"So Korra is there something you want to tell me?"

"Well it's a long story but it all started with the first avatar..."
