Heyo! So, I've sort of been teasing you with Korra slightly changing here and there (blame the game The Wolf Among Us for giving me that idea xD), but that ends here. Korra will fully change and what happens when she does will be epic! As you have read in the last chapter, she has white fur. And I have an idea on what to do with her eyes, but that might not happen since I didn't think about it until just now, four chapters in. But we'll see!

...

~Korra~

Even with all the White Lotus members stationed around the island, it shouldn't of been so easy to escape. I had grabbed my hood and changed into a pair of black sweatpants. I had to leave Naga on the island. What would I do with her in the city? She wasn't very happy about it, but I promised her I'd bring her back a treat or something. I hugged her goodbye and made my way silently down to the shore of the island. I stood just at the edge of the water and began bending the water, turning it into a sturdy ice raft. I stepped onto it carefully and propelled the raft forward towards the city. The luminous glow of it became brighter and brighter the closer I got. I smiled, hoping to myself that I wouldn't be late.

It was only my luck that the Pro-Bending Arena was diagonally across from the island so I wouldn't have to search for it. I jumped onto land, disintegrating the ice and straightening my clothing. I tugged my hood further over my head and started up the slope to the building. I finally reached the door after breaking into a run and pushed it open, stepping inside.

The inside was beautiful despite that it was actually an arena. I gazed as I passed closed door and staircases. The only open room I'd seen so far looked like a training gym. I couldn't help but walk inside. There were dumbbells, nets with bendable earth disks, punching bags, treadmills. I wished Tenzin had more stuff like this when I was training.

"Hey!" a voice said. "What are you doing in here?!"

I looked behind me. A short guy with a mean looking expression was glaring at me from the entrance to the gym. I panicked.

"Uh, I'm sorry!" I said. "I-I got lost and-"

"Yeah, sure! That's what all you teenagers say!" he said, stomping up to me and putting his finger in my face. "I'm tired of you teens thinking you can just sneak in here and do whatever the hell you want! I want you out of my arena!"

"What? I didn't do anything!" I yelled back, my ears twitching under my hood.

"There you are!" another voice said. I would know it anywhere. Asami. I sighed in relief. "I was wondering where you got off to." She walked in and laughed, looking at the shorter man. "Sorry, Jai, she's with me."

He didn't stop glaring at me, but he grunted. "You better keep up with your friends, Miss Sato." he said. "They're becoming a nuisance. Always sneaking around here."

"I'll keep that in mind." Asami replied. She looked at me. "Come on."

I followed after her, glancing back to see the guy lifting and moving the dumbbells with earthbending. I made a face and caught up with Asami. "Thanks." I said, smiling.

"Hey, I should be able to return the favor of you saving me." she said. "Now we're even."

"Sort of, I saved you twice." I said.

"True." Asami agreed. "But I still got you this time."

"Fair enough." I said with a laugh.

A few moments of silence passed awkwardly, and I found myself watching the way Asami walked. Call me perverted if you want, but it was mesmerizing how her hips moved with each stride. I laid my ears flat against my head gingerly. They still ached from being stuffed under my hat earlier that day.

"So, why did he call you Miss Sato?" I asked, trying to distract myself.

Asami blushed. "My father and I are kind of well known around here. He actually sponsors the Fire Ferrets."

"Really?" I said.

"Yeah. It, um, sort of happened when I was dating Mako." she said.

An immense jealousy rose in me. "You dated Mako?"

"It didn't last very long." Asami said. "Less than three months." She shrugged. "I guess we just grew apart. But he's still my best friend." I hadn't even realized we'd reached our destination until Asami opened the door next to her. "Guess who I found." she said.

Mako and Bolin turned around and smiled at me. They were dressed up in red, orange and white uniforms. They had helmets on. Bolin approached me first, throwing his arm around my shoulder. "Hey! Glad to see you made it on time!"

"Thanks for inviting me." I said, smiling.

"No problem." Mako said. "It's not every day we get a new friend." I grinned.

"Where's Hasook?" Asami asked, looking around.

"Late as always." Bolin said. He walked up to one of the benches and laced up his shoes. "I don't even know if he's gonna make it."

"This is the third time." Mako said.

"Who's Hasook?" I said.

"He's supposed to be the waterbender of our team." Mako said. "We want to kick him out, but we don't have anyone to replace him."

Just as he finished speaking, another guy walked in with a gym bag over his shoulder. He was wearing the same uniform. "Sorry I'm late." he said, putting his bag down on a bench.

"Not sorry enough to come on time." Bolin said under his breath. Asami and I tried not to laugh.

Hasook didn't answer. He opened his bag and took out his helmet, putting it on and fastening the strap under his chin. He caught sight of me and raised an eyebrow. "Who's she?"

"I'm Korra." I said. I already didn't like this guy. "Nice to meet you."

"Yeah..." he said.

"Five minutes, Fire Ferrets." a man said, looking inside before leaving.

"Let's get down there." Mako said.

The three of them headed for the gate at the edge of the room, opening it and stepping onto the platform. The platform lowered them out of sight.

"Shouldn't we be going to join the audience?" I asked Asami as I headed for the fenced end. I leaned over, peering down at the arena's stage.

"No, we can stay here." Asami said. "I'm usually with my dad in the sponsor boxes, but he couldn't make it today."

"Oh." I said.

She joined me, also gazing down at the stage. She was standing awfully close, close enough for our shoulders to touch. I could smell her perfume again. My hands tightened on the railing. Bolin, Mako and Hasook walked onto the arena floor, lining up at the edge of the red half. The other team emerged on the blue side, also lining up in the middle.

"Who are they?" I said.

"The Golden Temple Tigerdillos." Asami said. "They're not the best, but the firebender on their team is insanely good."

"I bet they can take 'em." I said as the teams got into fighting position.

"Round One!" the announcer called. A bell rang, and the bending fight started."

All I saw at first was large cloud of dust from broken earth coin and flashes of fire from in the middle. One of the Tigerdillos flew backward out of the cloud and there was a loud buzz as he landed in the second zone. When the dust finally dissipated, I saw water flying and fire. Bolin flipped up an earth disk and it headed straight for the waterbender. It got him straight in the gut, sending him into the second zone.

Only the firebender was left in the first zone. He was throwing fire left and right. Mako cleanly dodged the shot, but Hasook wasn't as lucky. With a strong blast, he was caught in the side and thrown off the arena's edge. He splashed in the water.

"He'll be back in the next round." Asami said.

Mako and Bolin held their ground long enough until Bolin was also knocked out of the match. Mako ceased his firing and seemed to focus more on his footing. With two in the second zone and one in the front, he was really outnumbered. Still, he kept dodging what came at him. In only a few minutes, the Tigerdillos were lacking in performance and their fighting slowed. Mako took his opening and took all three of them out. The crowd roared.

~time skip~

"That was awesome!" I said when the matches were over. "I don't get why Tenzin didn't want me to come here, this is the best thing I've ever seen in my life!"

Asami laughed. "Let me guess, you snuck out."

I blushed. "Uh, yeah. I kind of had no choice. I wouldn't of made it here otherwise."

The platform raised with Mako, Bolin and Hasook on it. Bolin and Hasook were still slightly damp from the first round.

"You did more harm then good out there." Mako said to Hasook. "You almost cost us the match!"

"Get of my case, alright?" Hasook snapped, grabbing his gym bag and leaving the room.

"Anyway," Bolin said. "Korra, what did you think?"

"What did I think? What did I think?!" I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "That was amazing!"

I let him go and he laughed. "Thanks." he said. "What do you say we go out and celebrate?"

"How about a no?"

We all turned to see a woman standing in the doorway. She was in a police uniform, had gray hair and two faded scars on her face. She looked at me, her face annoyed. "Are you Korra?"

"Uh, yeah." I said.

"You're coming with me back to Air Temple Island." the woman said. "Tenzin isn't very happy with you."

"Who are you?" Asami asked.

"That's none of your business." the officer said. She pointed at me. "You, let's go."

I looked at the three of my friends. I hung my head and headed for the door. Damn Tenzin for ruining my fun. "I'll see you guys later." I said.

"Good luck." Bolin said. I would need it.

I followed the woman out of the room and down the hall. "Did Tenzin call you?" I said.

"If I'm here, what do you think?" she said. Man, she had a worse attitude than Hasook.

We didn't speak after that. She led me outside of the building to a police car parked right in front. "Get in." she said. "And put on your seatbelt."

I climbed into the passenger seat, doing as I was told and pouting as I glared out the window. The officer got in the driver's seat. She did the same and started the car, pulling away from the building and out of the parking lot. Neither of us bothered to speak. The silence was deafening. At least ten minutes had passed before I heard anything. But it wasn't coming from her. It sounded more like a yell.

"Did you hear that?" I said, my ears perking up under my hood.

"Hear what?" she said.

"Leave me alone!"

My ears twitched again in worry. That voice...no... How could it be if I'd just left?

"You have to turn around!" I said.

"What are you talking about?" the office said.

"Someone is in trouble, I can hear them!" I said.

"I said leave me alone!" Asami!

"Look, kid, I don't know what you hear, but-" I never heard the end of her sentence. I undid my seatbelt and opened the car door. At the count of three, I jumped out. I rolled onto the ground, landing back on my feet and immediately breaking into a run back to the arena. I heard the officer trying to bring the car to a halt; the tires screeched behind me.

"Get back here!" she yelled.

I ignored her, letting the heat that was filling me spread out as I ran.

~Asami~

Okay, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to leave the arena by myself. But what was I to do? Mako and Bolin lived there and my satomobile was in the shop. It wasn't like I lived far, and I've walked these streets hundreds of times. So who would honestly expect to be ambushed by three masked guys wielding weapons?

They came out of nowhere. Literally. They had on masks with goggles on them and staffs in their hands. Two in front of me and one behind me. I stopped short.

"What?" I said, glancing between them. "Who are you?"

The guy behind me raised his staff and electricity buzzed at the end of it. "You're coming with us."

I backed away from the rod in his hand. Ever since I was seven, my dad had me in self-defense classes. I knew how to protect myself. But this was three on one with electricity on their side.

"Leave me alone!" I said defiantly when one of them grabbed me by my arm. I yanked my arm away and kicked him away in his stomach.

"So, you wanna do this the hard way?" the first guy said. His electricity rod buzzed louder and he ran forward, aiming for me. I ducked under him, sticking my leg out and tripping him. "I said leave me alone!"

The first and second guys got to their feet and the third one came at me. I readied myself to fight again when he stopped. I heard the sound of heavy footsteps behind me and a shadow casted over us. This creature landed between us and I stumbled back. It was...a giant white wolf. It was bigger that the police wagons they put multiple criminals in.

"What the hell is that thing?!" one of the guys yelled.

"In the way." The first guy said. He lit up the rod. "Let's fix that."

The wolf growled, lowering it's head and preparing for defense. It's ears were alert and it's tail was straight out, rigid. The guy with the rod ran at it, the electricity crackling. The wolf raised its paw and swatted him, knocking him into the nearest building. He grunted on impact and crumpled to the ground.

This can't be happening, this can't be happening! I thought as this whole thing unfolded out in front of me.

The third guy pulled out something from one of his pockets and waved it around before throwing it at the wolf. They were wires of attached rope. They caught the wolf at its front ankles. The wolf fell forward, roaring in anger and fought with the ropes. I didn't know when the second guy moved, all I know is that he came up behind me, covering my mouth with his hands and locking my arms behind me. The wolf clamped its teeth down on the ropes, breaking them and getting to its feet.

"Be a good wolf and stay down." the third guy said, going for his own rod.

The wolf didn't let him. It charged forward, headbutting him and ramming him into the wall. He, too, fell to the ground when it backed away. The last guy was dragging me to a van that just pulled up. The wolf looked at us and growled again. It ran straight for us. I closed my eyes, sure that this thing would run me over and crush me, when I felt a strong breeze of air separate me from the third guy. I fell to the ground and looked back. The wolf lunged, pinning the man to the ground. It bared its teeth.

I thought I was going to witness this guy get murdered by a large wolf. I thought I was going to see him get eaten. But the wolf huffed and backed off of him, staring him down. The guy took a few seconds before scrambling to his feet and running for the van. The back doors opened and he jumped inside. The van drove away.

Silence. Pure silence. That's all I could hear besides the jackhammering sound of my heart in my head. It was my turn. This wolf was going to attack me now. This was it. It turned its head...and looked me in the eyes.

I didn't know if I was floating or falling, but everything seemed to disappear from around me in those brief two seconds that we locked eyes. They went from fierce and angered to sad and caring. That shouldn't of even been possible to notice. Even in the faded lighting of the street light, I could see its eyes soften, going from dark to a much lighter shade. I blinked once, and it was gone. Nothing but an empty space before me. And I knew that no matter how much I would try to think of something else on the way home, those eyes stuck in my thoughts.

Those eyes.

Those damn blue eyes.

...

Aaaalrighty, then! My longest chapter by far, and most likely the only one for a while. But that was insane wasn't it?

Thanks for reading!
