One

I've been watching this woman for months and she doesn't even know that I exist. I follow her at night and believe me, I know how that sounds, but this is my mission. Even if she has no idea what I am or what she is. I will keep her safe because that is my reason for being. The seer told me that this woman is important to me and that she is also important to the world. So, I'll keep watching her and saving her from the things that go bump in the night, even if she remains clueless.

So, here I am in this dirty alley with rain pounding my body with my gauntlets and hidden double blades inside of it, trying to stop the attack on her tonight without her even knowing. Hopefully, I can get this done and watch a movie. But, these things never go as planned.

The seer told me that tonight would be the night that they'd make their move. Just my luck that they would find out who she is during the worst storm of the year. Just my luck that she'd want to go work out late at night during this storm. But, I can do nothing about that or my hunger that's threatening to overwhelm me. Stress has made me need to feed quicker than usual and the last thing that I need is to not be able to focus.

I sense their energy, but I still can't see them. Melting into the shadows, I slip into the night, searching for the source of the negative energy. Bingo. They're in a parking garage one street over. Time to make my move. I run around to the back of the structure and with my awakened power, I leap to the third level and slide in between the cars. They're spread out among the ledge, watching and waiting for their chance to pounce. I don't give them the opportunity. With a flash of speed, I unleash my blades from my gauntlets, one blade on top of my hand and two on the sides. I ram my right hand in the back of his head, right into his brain. He drops immediately and the other two turn at the sound of the fallen body.

With a growl, my fangs drop and I know that my eyes are burning bright red as I clash with the other two. I slip under punches and slice whenever I get the opportunity. Demons are sturdy creatures and it's going to take more than a few cuts to slow them down. One places a kick into my midsection and I hit the ground. I slice at a leg and connect, nearly severing its limb. He howls in rage and grabs me by my throat, lifting me up. Big mistake.

With all the force I can muster, I slam my blade into his eyes and he drops me. Just as my shoulder hits the ground, I see the other one leap off of the garage and to the ground below.

Towards her. Towards the woman I'm supposed to save.

Shit. I pop up in a flash and grab the demon by its neck. He's unconscious, but alive and I waste no time in sinking my fangs into his flesh. I hate the taste of demon blood, but it gives me the boost that I need. Even with the few wasted seconds, it's worth the extra juice. After I feed, I drop the demon to the ground and slam my boot into its throat, making sure he's dead. Then, I step over to the ledge and track my target. With a growl, I find her speeding off into the night just as she walks out of the bar and past the alley where I was keeping watch.

I leap off the edge and land silently on the ground, the rain causing my white tee shirt and leather jacket to cling to my body as I sprint after them. Dodging cars, I allow my blades to slip back into my gauntlet sheath and try to pick up the pace without causing too much commotion. But, there's nothing that I can do about my blood red eyes. My emotions are on the brink and being a young vampire is not always easy.

The demon reaches her before I do and pulls her into an alley I curse and speed up as much as I can with humans on the street. They know nothing about awakends and I have to do my best to keep it that way. I don't want to have to kill innocents just because I made a stupid mistake and exposed myself. Once I reach the alley, I am impressed to find that she's struggling against the demon. The beast has her large bat like wings out and is trying to fly into the gate that she just made above her to take her victim back to her world. I refuse to let that happen. She'd be lost forever.

With another burst of speed, I release my blades again as I slam into both of them. The only way to get her free is to knock her away. The short haired girl hits the ground with a grunt and doesn't get up. I silently apologize as I attack the demon. We clash and her power threatens to overwhelm me. Her wings are powerful and with razor like claws on the end, I find myself dodging more than attacking. That is going to get me nowhere. With a burst of air from a flap of its wings, I'm sent into the brick wall of the alleyway. My head connects with stone and lights flash before my eyes. No matter, I'll heal the blood dripping from my head wound in a matter of minutes. I just have to finish this before then.

"The girl is ours. Walk away vampire and you shall keep your life," the demon says, speaking to me as if she swallowed rocks for dinner.

"She is no one's to claim," I snap as I attack again.

We fight and I kick, stab, bite, and scratch whatever I can get my hands on. I jump over her diving attack and slash down with both of my blades, ripping her raven colored wings. She howls and tries to fly away, but it's too late for that. With another slash, I cut her throat. Then, I say the only spell that I'm capable of doing and the body disappears in a blue flame. I'll have to go back and dispose of the other bodies once I get her safely in my car.

Above me, thunder claps and lightening illuminates her face. I smile. I've always thought she was beautiful with those ocean blue eyes, determined gaze, goofy smile, and caramel skin. She's pretending to be unconscious, planning her escape. But, I can hear her heartbeat, the panic rhythm, and it takes all my willpower to not make her my prey. No, not her. Never her. I step forward, and then hesitate, testing to see if she'll run for it. When she doesn't, I flash to her side. She jumps and I grab her.

"I'm sorry. I'll explain it all to you later, I promise." Then, I slam my hand against a sensitive chakra point and knock her out.

Finally, she awakens and I smile at her, trying to look as non threatening as possible.

She looks around at her surroundings, fearful and unsure of what to do. But, to my surprise, she doesn't try to run. Maybe she knows that she'll never make it anyway. It doesn't matter that I'd never keep her as a prisoner. Never.

"I'm sure that you have a lot of questions, Korra. And don't worry; I intend to answer them all. When I'm done, you will be free to leave if you so choose. You have my oath of that."

"Who-Who are you?" she asks, heart beating rapidly.

I drink in the sound and flip my wavy dark hair behind my shoulders. "My name is Asami Sato and I'm a vampire. You, Korra, are the Avatar."

Notes: I don't want to call this a crossover because I won't be using any actual characters from my book, but I did base this fic off of the world that I created in The Unmaking. So, this is a modern AU, urban fantasy korrasami fic. I really hope that you like it. I'm very excited to write this. If you have any questions about my supernaturals or as I call them, awakends, please ask.
