Yawne tìrey
Prologue
(Note, due to the limited about of the Na'Vi language available at this time, this fan fiction is told in English.)
I was always under the impression that Eywa was the light of the flame, was the soul of everything pure, and the reason for our existence. I never thought I'd ever come to contradict that claim. Because of who I was, I was chased from the place I called home, by the very people who I loved, the very people who I thought loved me. If Eywa created everything and everyone, why was I born like this? I couldn't help what I felt, and everyday I had to come to terms with my feelings. Although, you probably have no idea about anything I'm saying. Well, maybe I should start my introducing who I am… Or who I was…
My name was La'Ki; I was daughter of 'Ola Moktal' and 'Yeha' of The Nakxit tribe. I was originally intended to become the Clan Matriarch. Although, this never happened... I suppose it was inevitable with the feelings I had bottled up inside at the time. Just thinking about everything that went on in my life at that point makes my heart thump like rain on a wet and windy day…
Chapter One
Yawne always managed to make me laugh, I suppose it was one of the reasons why I fell in love with her. Unlike most of our tribe, Yawne was different to every other clan member, her eyes were unique, one iris was a beautiful blue, almost the colour of the ocean, and yet, her other iris was an amazing green, deeper than any other shade I've ever seen. And her smile, just seeing it brightened up my day. Although, that all changed…
*flashback*
"La'Ki?" whispered Yawne quietly to the sleeping Na'vi teenager, "La'Ki, wake up, there's something I have to tell you!" Yawne looked anxious as she said this, her eyes gleaming and a smile clearly on her glowing face.
La'Ki turned and yawned loudly, stretching her long slender tail and legs before turning to the hammock directly next to hers.
Yawne continued to smile at La'Ki and leant forward to gently whisper in her ear.
" I know something you don't know!" La'Ki looked at Yawne anxiously and then relaxed as the grin on Yawne's face returned. "I know who your mate is going to be."
La'Ki's face grew into one of confusion, her emerald green eyes glowing under the shock.
"Who is it Yawne? You have to tell me. Please!" begged La'Ki grasping her friends arm.
Yawne smirked slyly, and then jumped from her hammock and landed softly onto the soft earth below. Looking back up to the now bewildered La'Ki, Yawne shouted "You want to know? You'll have to catch me La'Ki!" And then, as expected, Yawne started an immediate sprint in the direction of the hometree.
Scowling now, La'Ki sat still, and then sighed. This was going to be a long day.

Yawne giggled as she ran, she was sure La'Ki was right on her tail, and sure enough within seconds of that thought Yawne found herself on the ground with a very pleased La'Ki sat on top of her, grasping both of Yawne's arms.
"So… are you going to tell me who I am supposed to be mating with yet? I mean it really isn't any of my business…" growled La'Ki sarcastically
Yawne looked at La'Ki amusedly, before giggling loudly.
"I heard Anyu will be your mate, apparently your father thinks he'd be an amazing leader…"
To this La'Ki growled, her face turning to one of disgust. Her grasp on Yawne's arms grew slightly stronger, causing Yawne to look at La'Ki confusedly.
"Anyu? You're joking, Yes of course you are… They wouldn't expect me to mate with… With Anyu? I don't even like Him! I hate his guts!" To this Yawne hissed, it was common knowledge that Anyu really liked La'Ki, and yet she always refused to let him talk to her, let alone befriend her. Pushing La'Ki from the top of herself Yawne managed to flip herself on top of La'Ki and grasped both of her arms, completely mirroring the position La'Ki had her in moments ago.
"You won't even talk to Him La'Ki! How can you hate someone you don't even speak to?" La'Ki was struggling now pushing Yawne away, trying desperately to get free from the Young Na'vi's long blue arms. Yawne just growled loudly and pushed La'Ki back down, "Tell me La'Ki, why do you hate him so much?"
"He's just not my type!" La'Ki replied angrily.
"How can you say that, you've never even had a decent conversation with him!"
"Listen, He's just not my type, can we leave it at that?"
"No La'Ki! I want to know the real reason why you won't tell me, and I'm not going to let go until you tell me!"
La'ki's eyes started shimmering with tears and her chest heaved up and down rapidly.
"I… I just don't want to talk about it Yawne, please don't make me talk about it. Mother told me to ignore it, but I can't."
"You can't what La'Ki? I don't understand—"
Yawne never finished her sentence, as she found a pair of lips pressed firmly on hers, it was chaste, and yet passionate at the same time, but almost as soon as it happened, it was gone again… La'Ki was now crying hysterically, her beautiful face covered in dirt from the ground they were both on, and tears from her eyes. "Don't you understand? He's not my type, I don't love him, I don't love anyone like him. I don't—"
Yawne let go of La'Ki's arms, and stood up slowly, her eyes showed both anger and confusion. Before La'Ki could say anymore Yawne had sprinted off further into the deep tropical land surrounding them.
*
The journey to hometree after that kiss occurred was the worst moment In my life, I really didn't know If I could trust Yawne not to tell my parents, especially my mother. My mother knew about my feelings toward other female Na'vi, it had only developed recently in my fifteen year life. She simply told me to ignore it, and not act on my feelings and that Eywa would take those evil feelings away… Eywa never took them.
*
La'ki gently pushed the gigantic leaf in the front of her to gain a view of hometree, thankfully everything looked normal, Yawne was now sat near the tree, simply looking at the cold hard earth below her, her eyes still holding the confusion they did moments earlier.
La'Ki walked towards Yawne, and sat down on the rock next to Yawne, who was on the floor.
"Look, I'm sorry if I frightened you, can we just pretend it never happened?" La'Ki said hopefully.
Yawne seemed to consider this before sighing.
"But it did happen La'Ki, you kissed me!" she whispered furiously at the Young Na'Vi woman. "You kissed me…"
La'Ki just looked down at the ground miserably, and once again opened her mouth.
"I'd do it again you know…" she said softly. "I've wanted to do that for a long time."
Yawne looked at La'Ki in the yes for the first time since the kiss, In La'Ki's eyes she could see hurt, despair, but also a glint of happiness she hadn't seen in La'Ki's eyes before.
"So, you want to mate with me? Is that it? You want to perform "Tsaheylu" with me?" La'ki could hear anger and confusion in her voice, although Yawne's face didn't show that, instead it showed tenderness, love. La'Ki just stayed quiet, and looked at the grass swaying gently on the ground below her. "La'Ki, Please answer me, I won't be angry about the answer."
La'Ki turned from the ground to look at Yawne, she gently placed her hand on top of Yawne's head and gently started to stroke her hair, gently moving her hand down to where Yawne's queue was located, where her hand lay, gently holding on the queue.
"If it were up to me, I would have already have performed Tsaheylu with you by now."
