The Fight

~TyLee's POV~

Jet grabbed me by the arm and yanked me towards him. I squirmed and tried to pull away but he was too strong. He pulled me closer, looking at me with his red eyes.

"Let me go!" I cried. He smiled creepily and opened his mouth. I saw his teeth, and his fangs. He licked his lips.

"Why would I do that? You look so good." Jet said, talking to me like was something to eat. I whimpered remembering thats probably exactly what I looked like to him. I pushed against him desperately, but he didn't loosen his hold. I screamed as I felt his teeth graze my skin, and he bit me.

It didn't hurt. It felt good, like Asami said hers did when Tahno bit her. The feeling was indescribable. I felt myself drifting away. I forgot that I was scared for a moment then remembered I was being bitten by a vampire. I tried moving away from him but I couldn't. Thankfully, even though his bite felt good, Jet stopped biting me as someone ran into the hallway.

~Asami's POV~

Things weren't going downhill for our group yet. Everyone was still in the gym, still dancing, still having fun. I tried to relax as Iroh and I took a break from dancing to get a snack and a drink from the tables set up on the side of the gym. There was a bunch of different junk food and different types of fruit lined up on a table with one of those fancy looking bowls full of punch in the middle. I picked up a paper plate and put some grapes and a few chunks of watermelon on it as Iroh got us both a cup of the red punch.

We sat down a one of the few tables set out to the side and I ate and we talked about random things together. Iroh told me that us girls had done a great job helping decorate the gym. We actually didn't do much decorating but I took the compliment anyway. When we were done with our punch he held his hand out to me.

"May I have this dance, Miss Sato?"

I laughed and took his hand. He led me out onto the dance floor as a the song tempo slowed down once again. We danced looking into each other's eyes and I smiled, a lot. Iroh was really something. Even with all the things I had to worry about tonight and the stress it was putting on me inside that I tried my hardest not to show, he could still take my mind off of everything. I got lost in his eyes as we danced and he smiled back.

"You look so beautiful tonight Asami. I mean you are always beautiful, but I swear I was frozen just like Korra joked around when you girls walked down the stairs."

I blushed and rested my cheek to his. He pulled back and then kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back.

We danced until the song ended. I was so happy. Mako and Korra walked over to us. The three of them started talking. I looked around and I didn't see TyLee or Haru anywhere. Then I heard something pierce through the music. A girl was screaming. I looked around quickly and heard her scream again from the hallway.

It was TyLee.

I ran towards the gym doors and into the hallway. A guy had ahold of TyLee, and Haru was laying on the ground. I smelled blood, and quickly noticed that TyLee was bleeding. I felt my eyes change red. He paused and looked at me, his eyes were red and he had blood running down his chin. This guy was a vampire, and he had just bitten TyLee. It had to be the guy who was threatening her and most likely who Ozai wanted me to kill.

I crossed the distance between us fast as I could and grabbed the guy's arms, digging my nails into his skin and making him release her. TyLee stumbled backwards and ran over to Haru. I pushed their attacker forcefully to the ground. He looked up at me surprised.

I slammed my foot down onto his stomach, the heel of my shoe breaking through his skin. The guy yelled out in pain and grabbed my leg pulling it out from underneath me. I quickly got to my feet as he did and tried to hit him, he dodged and landed a blow to my chest. I stumbled backwards and he grabbed me by the neck and lifted me off the ground.

"You must be Asami, I'm Jet. Nice to meet you." He said sneering. I kicked at him and ended up hitting him in the groin. He let me go in a howl of pain. I smirked, even male vampires have that weakness. I took that moment to grab him and threw him against the wall. He fell to the ground then jumped back on his feet. He jumped at me and tackled me to the ground. My head hit the floor hard and I saw my vision blur for a moment. He punched me in the face.

"You're weak, hard to believe you are the dhampir everyone's talking about." He said as he hit my face again. I grabbed his fist as he went to punch me again and squeezed it till I heard the bones crack in his hand. The pain distracted him momentarily and I took that moment slam my other fist into his jaw as somebody pulled Jet off of me.

~Zuko's POV~

I was dancing with Mai when I heard it. I heard screaming outside the gym. I quickly told my date and we ran into the hallway. When we stepped out of the gym I saw TyLee on the ground kneeling over Haru and Asami shoving some guy to the ground.

TyLee was leaning over her date. I ran over to her and saw Haru unconscious on the floor. She looked up at me as I got over there. She had her hand on her neck, as she tried to wake him. When I looked closer I saw she was bleeding from her neck.

"It's the guy who's been sending me texts! He's a...he's not normal."

Just as she said that, the guy grabbed Asami and knocked her off her feet. Both of them got up and Asami tried to hit him as he grabbed her throat and threw her against the wall. I saw both of their faces as the guy grabbed her by the throat, they both had red eyes.

As the two fought, the guy got the upper hand on Asami and got her pinned to the ground and was punching her face. I had to do something, he had the upper hand and she was losing. I grabbed the guy by the back of the head and ripped him off of her. I slammed him face first into the nearest wall. The wall cracked open from the impact. The guy fell to the ground and didn't move. TyLee, Asami and Mai stared at me.

I told TyLee and Mai to run and get help. TyLee just sat there for a moment, looked down at her date who was still unconcious on the floor, and then blinked then got up and ran into the gym along with my date. I saw Asami's eyes when I looked back to her. Her eyes widened in panic when she realized I'd seen her eyes, and she looked away as they changed back to normal.

The guy who I'd just slammed into the wall jumped up and turned on me. I punched him in the face and grabbed him by the neck. He hit me in the gut causing me to let go. I coughed up blood. Asami grabbed both his arms from behind. I reached over and grabbed his head with both hands and snapped it to the side, hearing a series of cracks come from his neck.

Asami stared at me at me in shock and dropped Jet. I stared back and looked down at my own hands, surprised at what I'd just done.

~Asami's POV~

Zuko had just broken Jet's neck. He looked to be dead since he was no longer moving. I stared at Zuko in shock for a few seconds.

"You..." I said. "How did you...?"

He didn't answer me and wiped the blood on his chin off from where he's spit some up when Jet hit him. He then turned and ran into the gym. I took the moment to kick my shoes off, pick them up, and grab Jet's body and speed run out of there. I didn't know what I was going to do with him but it definately wouldn't be a good thing for someone to find a dead guy in the middle of a high school hallway.

I kept thinking about what just happened. Zuko broke the wall when he slammed Jet into it. I guess that's possible for a human to do but snapping his neck like he had? No, I think you'd need a lot more strength to do that. He'd done it with what looked like no effort at all as well. I couldn't help but wonder how he had the strength to break Jet's neck with just his hands.

More than that, he looked fine after the fight was over. For someone who had spit up blood from being jammed in the stomach, it didn't seem to have really affected him. He had also seen my eyes when I was fighting Jet. I was going to have to explain that to him now, or else compel him to forget it. He hadn't paniced like anyone else would have. The look on his face wasn't even surprised. I hoped he didn't tell anyone about me.

My thoughts went back to the body I had in my arms. I ran out across town as fast as I could into the woods outside Republic City. I can run faster than any human is able to follow with their eyes, so I wasn't worried about being seen by somebody. I know this because I tested it with Korra because we were both curious. I took all the darker alleys I knew about on the way just in case.

I dumped Jet on the ground and paced back and forth. What was I susposed to do? Bury him? If I wasn't smart someone would eventually find him. I heard something nearby and instantly looked around. I heard somebody breathing and saw movement to my left.

"Who's there?" I called out, ready to defend myself if needed. To my surprise Tahno walked out from behind a tree. I let my guard down a little.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I should ask you the same thing." He looked down to Jet's body on the ground then raised his eyebrows at me. It was dark outside, but that no longer mattered with my vampire sight, I could see him clear as day.

"You brought a body into the woods? What are you going to do with it?" I opened my mouth to say something but couldn't find the words. Ozai had told me to burn him after I killed him tonight. I didn't have anything to do that with.

"I don't know. What should I do?"

"Well for starters, you need to get rid of it. I suggest burning him to ashes but you don't seem to have anything with you to do so." I sighed then nodded and he continued. "I'll take care it, go back to the dance." He told me.

I didn't know what else I could do so I did as he said, taking off with my vampire speed once again to the high school. I had blood on my dress as well, not much luckily but there still was. I stopped in the girl's bathroom when I got there and wiped as much of it as I could off.

It was a good thing I had a red dress on in the first place. I hoped nobody would notice. I cleaned off my right shoe which also had a bit of blood dried on it from when I stomped on Jet's stomach in the hall. I fixed my hair since it was messed up from my running and the fight then left the bathroom.

This was going to be a mess telling Iroh where I had gone. I really shouldn't have left him like I did.
