They were losing and the referee's were being paid off. The wolf-bats were doing so many illegal things, she felt like whipping their heads all together with a water whiplash.

She was seated a bit far from the Pro-Bending tournament and she could make out Bolin by his broad and muscular build.

She cheered silently when he got in a good swing or swipe and groaned when he got knocked back. Every time he got hit, it felt like a punch to her stomach. It was as if she could feel his hits so acutely.

The wolf-bats weren't playing fair. Anyone could see that. She admits that she was nervous coming but the forecast said the moon was going to be a crescent tonight and she knew from experience that a crescent moon wasn't as powerful as a half moon and half moon wasn't as painful as a full moon.

The Fire Ferret were losing however and she couldn't but wring her hands in nervousness. But she also couldn't help but feel a sense of impending doom. She looked up to see the sky clear and darkening. She felt herself relax but forced herself to be on guard.

Anything could happen tonight and her gut was telling her to be on the lookout but for what she didn't know.

She was really into the game even if she didn't completely understand exactly how the game played. When the final round finished and when Korra fell, she felt her body tensing and her hairs at the back of the neck rise.

Something wasn't right.

She suddenly heard electricity near her and saw the Equalists shocking one of Chief Bei Fong's officers and all around the arena.

Fear broke out in a cold sweat over her body. She looked to see Korra, Mako and Bolin being electrocuted in the water.

Her heart beat in a frantic race, hurting her ribs and she thought it couldn't get any worse until she saw Amon along with his followers taking away the bending of the Wolf-Bats.

Everyone around her was in a panic and the Equalists were suddenly in front of the audience, holding out their gloved hands that were sparking with electricity.

Her whole body was cold and fear was making her sweat. She was worried about Bolin and she had a strange sense to go see him but she knew she would be electrocuted if she moved.

Something tugged at her body and she frowned, slow dread began to grow in her stomach. Some part of her told her to look up and when she did, she felt the world fall away from her feet.

She was vaguely aware of Amon making his speech as she stared in horror at the sky.

The moon.

It was a full moon.

No.

No, no, no.

Oh, spirits.

How?

How can this be? She had made her calculations right according to her charts. The full moon wasn't supposed to be here today unless...

She thought of her calculations and the color left her face. She had messed up. She had miscalculated. She was still thinking of the year before not this year. This was the dragon year and the full moon was on different days.

Oh, no.

The full moon was there in the sky and she was trapped here between the exit and the Equalists. She was already feeling the unwelcome familiarity of pain.

Her heart began to race, her palms began to sweat and her body began to shake. It was coming, it was coming and she had to get out.

She had to get out. Now!

Her breathing was growing hard and frantic as her veins began to pulse with power from the moon. No, she had to hold out even it was hopeless.

Her heart picked up speed now, racing so hard, she thought it was going to burst. It was coming and she couldn't do nothing to stop it.

Please, she begged in her mind. Please.

She clutched her stomach as she bent, her breath coming out in deep gasping sounds as her body began to shake more violently.

She sensed warmth grow in her eyes and she knew her eyes were beginning to glow.

Do not resist.

She had to resist.

She had to or everyone around her was going to get hurt. She clenched her teeth so hard, she thought her teeth were cracking. She stuffed her hands in her hair as the pain intensified.

She was burning, now. She felt like her insides were cooking and her body began to throb.

"No, stop. Stop." She said through clenched teeth.

She heard rather than saw the explosion and she heard people getting up and run. She had to get out but she could barely move. Her body refused to move. It was frozen.

She was sucking in fast, heavy gasps to ease the pain but it kept growing and growing until she thought she was going to explode from it.

Do not resist. Let me help.

She ignored the soft voice and forced herself to get up and get out. She gasped as her body creaked with the locking of her bones. The pain was stabbing her everywhere as she started to run.

Her eyes were glowing now and she kept blinking so no one would see.

"Aylin!"

Bolin.

Oh, spirits! No!

She was running out of time. She had to leave and she had to leave now!

She ran, her whole body exploding with white hot pain as it stung and burned her insides. Once she was out by herself, she could accept her fate but not now.

Not when Bolin was so close.

"Wait, Aylin!"

She ran faster now, her body humming like the drums and her heart racing so hard, there wasn't a beat.

She ran until she felt the cool air from the outside but she didn't stop. She ran and ran and ran until she finally reached the wilderness and the ocean was beyond it.

Relief swamped her but dread filled her bones like ice when she heard his voice.

"Aylin! Are you okay?" Bolin asked, breathing hard as placed his hands on his feet.

What was he doing here?

"What-" She started to say but she couldn't speak. The pain was too much and the full moon was pushing through her walls, breaking them down painfully one by one.

"What's going on? Are you hurt?" He started to walk towards her but she stepped back, nearly stumbling over her feet. She wasn't going to hold out.

She only had a few seconds.

"You...have...to..." Spirits, even talking was killing her.

"Aylin, what's going on? You're starting to worry me."

Sharp pain made her gasp and forced her to kneel and clutch her stomach. "Get away!" She yelled as hard as she could.

Her body was locking itself. She couldn't move, couldn't if she tried. She was stuck and she had her eyes closed so tight, they were hurting now.

"What's wrong?"

The water behind her began to crash against the short unnaturally, as if the moon spirit was already bending the water as she got closer.

Do not resist.

She was breathing fast and giving gasps of pain as her body began to throb harder now. Her eyes were so hot; she knew the glow was increasing.

"You'll get killed!" She screamed as she forced herself to take a step back into the water. 10 seconds. She had 10 seconds.

"Aylin! Stop! Why are your eyes..." Bolin eyes widened in horror as he saw the glow in her eyes and the way she was in obvious pain.

"Aylin..."

"Go!" She said but it was too late. The moon spirit crushed into her body as she screamed and fell to the ground on her hands and knees.

Her body shook with the tremors of relief and the power of the moon. Her nails dug in to the ground as she heaved and her hair waved as the water crashed around her.

She was no longer in her body.

She was gone.
