She lifted her head up and Bolin was frozen in shock as he saw the glow in her eyes and the way her body stopped moving.

A sense of dread filled the air as she stood up and stared at him, unblinking. Then, suddenly, without warning, she raised her hands and crossed her forearms together, the water following her movement. The water raised behind her like a curtain and flew over her head and rushed towards Bolin, turning into icicles.

Instinctively, he raised his hands, making the earth come up like a shield as the icicles shattered against his wall of earth.

"Do not step any closer." He heard her say in a voice that was both hers and not hers.

"What is going on?!" He said, lowering the earth back to the ground.

"Do not mess with my daughter of the moon. She is under my protection and will continue to be under my protection until I deem she is safe."

"I don't understand! Is this some kind of joke?" He asked in surprise and disbelief. What the spirits was going on?

"I assure you, young earthbender that this is no joking matter." She said as she commanded the water to lift her up in the air.

He was completely and utterly confused but he knew one thing. He was in danger. In danger by the girl he was falling in love with.

He frowned then. Aylin was not a violent person. She was kind and gentle and yes a little nervous but he knew, knew that this was not her. This was not his Aylin that made him smile at the mere thought of her. This was not his Aylin who made him feel complete when he was around her.

He knew something was the matter the moment he saw the horror in her eyes when she ran away from the arena as if it were a poisonous komodo-dragon. His instinct to make sure she was alright made him run after her, to make sure she was not harmed.

He didn't know it was she that she was running away from.

"Leave before I make you." She said as she stared at him through unblinking glowing eyes. Eyes that used to be sea green.

"Who are you?"

"I am Princess Yue, the moon spirit."

"Why are you bothering Aylin?" He asked angrily as he stepped closer to her but immediately a wall of water that turned into ice stopped him.

"I am merely protecting her. There is danger coming to Republic City and I have to protect what is mine."

"I can protect her! I can do it!"

She laughed then, but it was lifeless laugh. "You cannot even protect yourself from Amon and his Equalists when they came for you."

He looked at her sharply then, surprised confusion evident all over his face.

"Hey, that was not my fault. I was..."

"I do not care. I only care for my people. Aylin is special to me."

"Why? Why is she so special to you?"

She frowned then as she stared at him, making him fidgety. "She is...of blood..."

"What? I so don't get this."

"You, earthbender, are not meant to get this. Only she but she resists me. Now leave, I have some duties to take care of."

"Not until you give me back Aylin."

"I am she and she is me. We are one and the same. Now, leave before I make you."

Bolin knew he should have left when he had the chance but he couldn't just leave her like this. "Aylin! Snap out of it! Wake up!"

"She cannot hear you."

"I don't care. Aylin! Aylin!" He said, stepping closer but she had raised the water in front of him and it turned into icicles that just touched his body. One more inch and he'd be cut.

"DO NOT COME CLOSER." She said angrily now, her eyes glowing even harder and the water behind her and under her began to churn violently.

"Aylin! AYLIN!"

"She can no..." She gasped and clutched her stomach now, her arms crisscrossing each other.

"No, do not resist me." She kept gasping and grunting heavily as she held herself tightly, almost as if she was keeping herself together just by holding her body together.

"No..." She said and he saw the change in her. He saw the icicles turn into water before splashing on the ground harmlessly. He saw the water underneath her, lowering her to the ground as it headed back to the ocean.

She looked up and he saw the glow in her eyes was going back to normal.

"Bolin..." She murmured and he took in a sigh of relief before rushing to her but as soon as he was 5 feet in front of her, the water exploded behind her and her eyes and body glowed so bright, he screamed in surprise and covered his eyes.

"LEAVE!" She said but he didn't move. He lowered his arms to see her entire body glowing like the moon, her eyes glowing so bright, it was humming.

Then, she raised her hand and he felt his muscles tense and move without his telling so. His arm jerked and moved and he tried to grab it with his other arm but something seized control of that arm and he felt violated.

"What...what..." He kept trying to say but his entire body was seizing and jerking, forcing him to walk back and it hurt, spirits it hurt him as he tried so hard to gain control of his body but it was hopeless.

"Leave and do not come back." Her hands moved rapidly, his body following her hands and he knew then with a sickening horror that she was bloodbending him.

Before he could think, she raised her hands up in the air above her head in an arch and he felt his heart race and the blood in his veins going slack as she forced the oxygen in his body to lower by bending the water in his blood.

He grunted painfully until the edges of his vision went black and he passed out, saying only one name.

"Aylin..."
