Chapter 4

The Vampire

~Tahno's POV~

I overheard Asami and Korra talking outside the school. I was walking outside when I heard them. I was quite a far distance away but I have really good hearing. I sat down at one of the tables and tuned in.

"He was bleeding, when I saw his blood, I…sort of grabbed his shoulders from behind. It smelled so good, I wanted it. I had to run away; I was scared I would hurt him or something."" I heard Asami say.

"His blood?" Korra asked.

"Yes, I don't know what's happening to me." She paused. "Maybe I am crazy."

I smiled wickedly to myself. So she'd had her first encounter with human blood. It didn't sound like she had tasted it yet though, it didn't matter. Sooner or later she would. The next part made me stop smiling.

"You think it has to do with what happened at the party? With Tahno?"

Why were they talking about me? Usually my victims didn't remember what had happened. Yes, I am what they call a walking blood sucker in the human world. I'm what they call a "vampire." I few of the things humans spread about my kind are true, such as we have super hearing and use compulsion. She shouldn't remember. I figure I made a mistake, and my compulsion didn't work on her. From what I've heard, it seems that they know a little bit too much about me.

~Asami's POV~

Korra talked me into going to the football game with her after school. I'm usually not into football, hence why I didn't know Iroh was on the football team. I don't know much about the game, but I know when they have scored a touchdown and I cheered along with Korra and the rest of the Fire Ferrets' crowd. Korra told me that Iroh was number 9 and Mako was number 14 on the team. (Numbers on their jerseys) I found myself watching Iroh most of the time, not being able to keep what happened with him off my mind. The Fire Ferrets' won.

After the game Korra dragged me down to the locker rooms, she wanted me to meet Mako. He was a tall guy with brown hair that kind of swooped forward in the front but looked like it was naturally like that. He also had amber eyes like Iroh. It just so happened that Iroh was standing next to him when we got there. Korra nudged me and whispered "Just ask him out, I know what happened before, but I can tell you like him." She said smiling.

She wasn't wrong, I did kind of like him. She and Mako started talking like old friends right away. I could tell she really liked him, and I didn't want to let her down. I put on a sweet smile, and flirted with Iroh a little.

"You guys did really good out there today, those Buzzard Wasps didn't have a chance. " I said.

"Those guys? We totally rolled them. They never stood a chance." He grinned.

"You looked really good out there." I said. I found myself blushing and tried to hide it by flipping my hair over my shoulders.

"You look pretty good yourself." I think I saw a faint blush on his cheeks too. Korra looked at me and I saw her face light up with an idea.

"You should come with us to the skating rink Saturday. We could do a double date." She turned so her hair covered her face and winked at me, wanting me to play along. It was Friday, so she wanted to go tomorrow.

"That sounds great." I heard Mako say. "I and Iroh will be there. Tomorrow, seven sound good?" He said not even giving Iroh the chance to voice his opinion.

"Sounds good to me." I said.

"Good! It's a date." Korra said happily.

~Tahno's POV~

Ever since I'd overheard Korra and Asami at lunch, I'd been keeping an eye on them. Not only was Asami figuring it out, she was sharing and discussing it all with Korra. I had also heard their conversation after the football game, a double date at the skating rink. A plan began to form in my mind. Oh they would have fun, I'd make sure of that.

~Asami's POV~

Okay I guess I was going to the skating rink with Korra and Mako, and Iroh… I mentally sighed after our date had been planned and I and Korra headed to my house. The 'hunger' I had hadn't bothered me at the game, but now it seemed to be on overdrive, as well as my headache coming back. I found some pain killers in my bathroom, grabbed a sandwich from the kitchen, and lay on my bed.

"Are you excited for tomorrow?"

"Not really, but I can't back out now." I wasn't mad at her; it would be good for me to have some fun. I really hoped that Iroh wouldn't ask me about that night. I don't even know what I would say. Iroh was really hot, and he seemed like a good guy. Part of me really wanted to see him again, but part of me wanted to avoid him.

"I know you're nervous around Iroh, but I don't think you need to worry about it."

"What if he asks what I was doing that night? What would I say? 'I think im turning into a vampire and I really wanted your blood?' I pulled a pillow over my face and groaned. Why was this happening to me? I just wanted to be a normal high school girl with no weird things happening. Korra didn't answer me for a minute. I wondered if what I had told her made her feel differently about me.

"That you had a weird moment and he doesn't need to worry about it. You don't need to worry about it either." She lay down next to me. "You're going to be okay, Asami. Whatever is going on we're gonna deal with it. Nothing weird or bad is going to happen tomorrow."

I hoped she was right.
