Korra's POV

I wasn't scared. I was terrified. I was trapped in a circle of fire along three other people in different circles. I looked over at Jules, the leader of a new pack not far from Republic City. All of the wolves were young, from twelve to fifteen years old. When I had howled for help after Lin was…murdered, she had shown up later, leaving her pack for the mean time to help us against Amon. I hated to have her blood on my hands.

Tahno was completely freaking out, yelling about how he didn't want to die. Under different circumstances I would have reminded him he was technically already dead but I didn't blame the guy for being so hysterical.

"Is everything ready?" Amon asked.

Hama shook her head. "You need a Beta and a hybrid."

The cursed werewolf nodded thoughtfully before grabbing Tarrlok by the neck. "Will he do?" His witch grinned and nodded. The younger brother struggled against his hold as he brought him closer to us, just as he was going to drop him, Azula showed up.

"I got you a Beta," she stated, dropping a girl close to us, another circle forming around her. "Tarrlok could still be useful." Azula added, grinning cruelly at the younger of the brothers.

Amon chuckled before looking at Tarrlok. "Don't worry, little brother, I wouldn't have sacrificed you either way," he said before releasing him.

I looked over to Mako who was pinned to the ground by an electric net, Asami right next to him in the same position. He looked up at me, his eyes full of fear. Fear for my life. He tried getting up again only to be electrocuted. Amon had made sure neither of them would be able to intervene.

The monster turned to look at me. "I'm sorry, Alpha," he said. "But I need a hybrid."

"NO!" I yelled.

He stopped his advance towards Asami and chuckled before shaking his head. He was toying with me, and I hated it.

"Don't worry, love," Amon said. "I have a backup."

Azula left and quickly came back, dragging his Lieutenant. Earlier he had asked for some of my blood and I had reluctantly complied. Now I knew what he had used it for.

"Do you have the moonstone?" Hama asked. Instead of answering her, Amon pulled out the soft stone from his pocket and handed it to her. The witch smiled wickedly as she took it. "Do you remember everything you need to do?"

He nodded. "I remember," he assured.

Hama dropped the moonstone inside the cauldron and began muttering an incantation. Sounded like a bunch of gibberish to me but I knew that those muttered words were sealing all of our fates. Amon took off his mask, tossing it aside before heading over to Jules. The werewolf looked over at me, her eyes reflecting how scared she truly was.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you get rid of him," she whispered. "Promise me you'll take care of my pack, please." I thought about telling her that I wasn't going to make it out of this alive but I knew that wouldn't make a difference to her.

So with a nod, I said, "I promise."

The circle of fire around her disappeared and her gaze shifted to Amon. Her eyes narrowed and she quickly morphed into a wolf, intending to fight him. Brave girl. But he was too fast. With one move he snapped her neck and the wolf fell lifeless onto the ground. I bit my lip, holding back a sob. How could anyone kill their own kind?

Amon next headed over to the Beta, who didn't put up much of a fight, too injured to try. He dug his hand into her chest and pulled out her heart, tossing it aside as he had done Lin's. I felt my blood boil at the reminder. He moved over to his Lieutenant whose eyes reflected both fear and anger.

"I dedicated my life to you!" he shouted.

Amon nodded. "And that is why you are part of something more than you," he said before pulling his heart out as well.

Tahno looked over at me, his expression full of fear as Amon approached him next. "Look, Tahno," I began. "I know we weren't the best of friends but…I'm sorry."

He actually managed to give me a small smile. "No hard feelings, Uhlpha," the Vampire said with a wink. "I know what to do."

His circle of fire disappeared and he threw me another smile before running over to Hama and sinking his fangs into her neck. She cried out but Amon was next to him in a wink of an eye, plunging a stake into his heart. Tahno's face showed pain as he fell onto his knees, half dead. The monster went behind him and ripped off his head, killing him.

I fell onto my knees, feeling guilty and useless. I had watched three people die and couldn't do a thing about it. I covered my face with my hands, trying to control my emotions, refusing to cry. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction. I looked up and saw my circle slowly fade away.

"It's time," Amon said, holding out his hand. The angel of death beckoning me to mine.

Without a word I stood, heading over to the cauldron. I heard Asami call my name but I didn't reply. I didn't know what to say that wouldn't sound like I had accepted what was happening.

Mako let out a growl, fighting against his restraints, trying to help me. I shook my head at him, my eyes sad. I loved him and he loved me, but…I had to end this. I had to end the war Amon had started, even at the cost of my life.

'I love you', I mouthed to him. I saw his eyes water at this, fighting even harder to rid himself of the net.

When I reached the cauldron I looked around at the bodies that were lying before me. I couldn't help but feel guilty for this, even though I knew who the real culprit was. All of this had happened because of me. I had practically walked right into his hands.

Amon looked at me, a smirk on his face. "Thank you, Korra," he said, moving to stand behind me. I felt his hands caress my neck.

I felt my blood boil at this. "Go to hell," I answered. What could I say, defiant till the end.

He chuckled before sinking his teeth in to my neck. I flinched a little. At first, I couldn't feel what was happening. But as it continued, I started to feel weak, my body not able to support itself. Amon wrapped his arms around my torso to support me as he drained me of life. My vision began to blur. Soon I couldn't feel anything. No regret, no pain, no guilt. Nothing. Just a numbing sensation that accompanied the darkness.

Eventually, even that disappeared.
