"What's going on?" Jinora asked Bolin. Bolin shook his head.

"Look, Jinora, I was going to tell you, but I just couldn't," Bolin replied.

"I still don't know what you need to tell me," Jinora said, close to tears. Bolin moved to put an arm around her, but Jinora moved to the other side of his bedroom, away from his arms. She came in after breakfast, demanding an answer. It was up to Bolin to give it.

"Something happened to me, I just wasn't ready to tell you," Bolin said, shaking his head. Jinora turned away from him.

"I know at you have that spirit thing, but I don't see what that has to do with," Jinora's voice dropped, "the dream." She blushed. Bolin shifted on his feet, trying to find something to say. He didn't want to tell her what was really going on, but Bolin didn't have a choice.

"I know that this is hard for you, trust me, it was hard for me too, but I need you to trust me. Can you do this?" Bolin asked. Jinora signed and sat down on Bolin's bed. Bolin joined her, and this time she didn't move as he put his arm around her.

"Bolin," Jinora asked a few moments later. Bolin looked down on her. "Is the spirit... is the spirit the cause?" Bolin stayed still for a few seconds before answering a simple, "Yes."

Jinora signed and paused, before answering, "That's what I thought."

"Are you scared?"

"Yes, but i'll be fine." Bolin didn't want to say that he didn't believe her, he could didn't want to hurt her. Something told Bolin that he only make it worse. He wasn't in control of himself, and he didn't want to hurt anyone he loved.

What if he did hurt someone? What if he lost control? What if he-

Stop, he told himself, Stop. Jinora looked up at him, and all of his worries disapeared.

"Julie, come over here," Verrick said. He stood next to the scientist hold the test tube containing a sample of Bolin's blood.

"I figured out how he did it," Verrick said, getting a dirty look from the scientist next to him. Verrick sighed. "Fine he found it out, but I helped!" The scientist rolled his eyes and went back to work.

"Who did what?" asked Julie. She never asked questions, but now was different, she didn't know what he was planning on doing.

"Bolin, he's half-human, half-something, and I need to know what. With this, I could be the most powerful man in the world," Verrick said, spreading his arms.

"Have you figured out what's in it," Verrick asked the scientist. He shook his head. "It'll take a lot long than a few hours, sir," the scientist replied. Verrick got a evil glint in his eyes that Julie remember, but didn't at all miss.

She remembered that face. When Mako came to talk to them, he had that look. A few days later, both him and Julie where put in jail. Nothing good came with that look.

Julie had other things to do than listen to Verrick argue with the scientist, so she left. Walking down the hall, she thought to herself, do I really need this job, I could work for someone else, do something else.

But what would Verrick do to her if she left? She knew more about Verrick's company than even Verrick himself. No, if she left, Verrick would make sure she didn't talk to anyone, and she couldn't risk it.

For now, Julie sucked in a breath and walked down the hall to get Verrick some coffee.

"Come on, Bolin, are you ready?" Mako asked, running down the path. Bolin smile and followed him, forgetting all of his trouble for a few minutes. Mako was going to practice with Bolin for the first time in a while. They hardly saw each other, and Mako found he was missing the small things that they used to do.

The two boys walked down to a small arena on the island that the airbenders and White Lotus used to train. Mako and Bolin stood on oppiste sides of the ring facing each other. Each trying to remember the others weakness. Mako started the match with a blast of flame that Bolin quickly ducked and sent a block of earth his way.

The match was almost like pro-bending practice, but without Korra. It was going great, Bolin found himself smiling, happy for the first time in a long time. Korra came down with Asami to watch the two, both sitting on a rock, talking to each other softly.

Bolin, you miss me? Ben Dan asked. Bolin groaned inwardly. He almost thought he got rid of Ben Dan, or at least for the day. Bolin, you thought I left you? I'm hurt, no really, I am. My heart is broken.

"You don't have a heart," Bolin replied in a hushed voice.

"What was that, Bolin?" Mako said, pausing for a second to wipe the sweat starting to form on his forhead. Bolin shook his head.

"Nothing," Bolin replied. I would hardly call myself nothing. Ben Dan said. To prove his point, Ben Dan took control of Bolin's arm, thrusting it forward, sending a rock dangerously close to Mako's head.

Mako quickly duck, not even bothering to said a counter attack. He stood up and shouted, "What the hell, man." Bolin wanted to yell back, but couldn't, Ben Dan taking control of him. Korra and Asami jumped off of where they were sitting and down to the arena. Korra tried to hold Bolin's arms, but Bolin shook her off like a fly.

On the other side, Mako took fighting stance, preparing for the worse. Bolin wasn't being blood bent, he could tell that, but the question was, what was happening to him?

Bolin sent wave after wave of earth to Mako, some he barely missed. Mako backed up and up, running out of space before he would hit the rocks.

Everything was happening so fast, Mako barely know what he was doing, he was dimmly aware of himself shooting fire in Bolin's direction, hitting Bolin in the chest. Mako didn't notice until the earth stopped, then he finally allowed himself to open his eyes.

The first thing he saw was Bolin lying on the ground, Asami and Korra next to him. Mako rushed over and looked at where the fire hit his brothers chest, burning his clothes, burning his skin.

"Is he-" Mako stared, his voice to heavy to continue. Korra looked at him, he could see in her eyes what see couldn't say. That his brother was dead, he killed his own brother, the one that he promised himself after his parents died that he would protect. But now, Bolin was here, and Mako was never going to see him again.
