So... I'm back! Sorry it took so long, I've been on other sites lately and I haven't had ANY time to write. Then I began this, and I'm on chapter 5 now. Haha! So let's see where this goes.
Here it is. Hope you enjoy. :)
Hi, My name is Kairi Sullivan.
I'm 13 years old and I live with my mom, because I have no dad... well as far as I know.
I'm 4'7" at the moment, shortest person in our class, and I have these brilliant emerald eyes, not to mention that I'm a brunette and my hair has a reddish tint to it.
I have no clue where I got these traits though, because my mother, Lacey Donovan, is tall, about 5'11", and she has beautiful white blond hair, and sparkling blue eyes.
It's times like these when I wonder what my dad looked like; well I guess I'll find out soon.
My mother was shot in a bank robbery the other day. So they did DNA testing on me, and the results are supposed to come back today.
Until then though I'm stuck in a stupid foster home.
At this moment in time though I'm in school.
"Who knows why we began to invent technology? Anyone?" My teacher is asking us.
I raise my hand of course because I know exactly why, and although Mr. Laurner looks hesitant he has to call on me, because I'm the only one who has my hand raised.
"Yes Kairi?" He finally says.
"Because we're all a bunch of retarded boring people who wanted the world to be gray." I reply simply. The class bursts into laughter.
"Kairi..." Mr. Laurner warns, but I don't care I'm so tired of this.
"Oh did I mention that the world used to be full of beautiful colors, like we read about in books, like it is on Pandora! I think it'd be wonderful if we could once again have a planet like that instead of this boring planet. All we see around here is gray! It's so dull! I bet half of you don't know that a sunflower was yellow, and that roses weren't just red but yellow, and blue, and purple too!" I continue on standing up.
"Ms. Sullivan." Mr. Laurner tries to get me to sit down but I ignore him.
"And I also bet half of you don't know that white stood for purity, black was for death, and purple was a royal color. Red stood for anger and hate, and sometimes passion and love, blue was a calm color, but also a sad one, and yellow was a safe color, but a happy one as well. Why do you think we wear black to funerals? Or purple on president's day? Green was a lucky color. Luck of the Irish! That's why we wear green on St. Patrick's Day! All I'm saying is that we could do so much better than how we live now. Look at Pandora and how beautiful it is!" I continued.
"All that's on Pandora is a bunch of blue retarded brutes that wouldn't give up the damn unobtainium that would help us even after we tried helping them!" one of my classmates said with no mercy in his voice whatsoever.
"Helping them?! You call trying to destroy their home helping them?!" I shouted, outraged by my classmates ignorance. "I think you need to pick up a dictionary and re-read the definition of help, bub! Helping is when you change something for the better, and I seriously doubt they are doing much better after stupid Colonel Quaritch destroyed their god-damned home!" I shouted at them. I always knew they were idiots, but I mean come on!
"Ms. Sullivan!" Mr. Laurner shouted at me, I finally looked at him. "That is enough! Take your seat!"
"You know, I don't think I will." I replied before walking out of the classroom. I had my stuff already and from there I ran. I ran as far as I could, out of the school and back to my foster home.
"Kairi, aren't you supposed to be in school?" Mrs. Duben, my foster 'mom', called seeing me enter the house. I rolled my eyes.
"You told me not to hit anyone, so unless you wanted Mr. Laurner and half of my class on the ground with blood coming out of their noses, I thought it best to come back." I told her, being careful not to call this place home.
This wasn't my home. It never would be.
"You're results are back." Mrs. Duben told me. I instantly grabbed the envelope out of her hand.
"You're father is a man named Tom Sully. But..."
"He's dead." I finished for her, scanning the letter. Tears began to form in my eyes as I looked up at her in disbelief.
"Oh but don't fret, my dear, your grandparents were notified and they are coming to get you." Mrs. Duben told me.
Then there was a knock on the door as if cued by her telling me.
Mrs. Duben answered the door, and I instantly knew, this was my real family.
~*~A Week Later~*~
"Kairi!" My Grandma called me. I looked up from her collection of pictures of my dad.
I now knew what my father looked like, and why I looked like I did.
"Yes Grandma?" I replied as she made her way into the living room where I was at that moment.
"Would you like to see where your father went to school today?" She asked me softly sitting next to me. I know my face lit up from the smile that formed on hers.
"More than anything." I replied.
Which is how I ended up here.
The Avatar Training Facility.
~*~Norm's POV~*~
"Hey guys!" I greeted my former teachers and classmates as I entered the Facility.
"Hey Norm!"
"Man, how've you been?"
"How've the Na'vi been treatin' ya?"
Various questions were all thrown at me, and it made me smile.
"I've been doing great! The Na'vi consider me one of their own now, and I'm planning on becoming a full time Na'vi once I return." I told them all.
"Is that even possible?" My teacher, Lassie Runder, asked me.
"You heard of Jake Sully, Tom's brother?" I asked them. They all nodded, "Well he's already done it. He is no longer human." I told them with a smile.
"Speaking of the Sully brothers. Did you hear that Tom had a daughter?"
"You're kidding." This was some valuable information in my opinion.
"Nope. She's thirteen, just moved in with Annie and Tanner about a week ago. Her mother died in a bank robbery about a week before that," someone told me.
"They're planning on coming to visit today. Evidently the girl wants to know as much about her father as possible, and from what Annie say's she's just like him, looks and personality." Mrs. Runder told me.
"Speak of the devil's." Someone else muttered, I turned to see the main door open and in stepped a young girl who, like they said, looked just like Tom, except in girl form I guess.
Mrs. Runder took me by the arm and pulled me out of the workroom with her towards them.
"She wants to learn about her father, and you knew him the best out of all of us here." She told me before we entered the room where the girl and her grandparents were standing.
"Oh my, look at you!" Mrs. Runder cooed running up and giving the girl a hug. "Annie, Tanner, welcome back." Mrs. Runder smiled at the two elder's. They looked so much different from the last time I saw them which was twelve and a half years ago at least.
"It's great to be back." Annie told her when Mrs. Runder hugged her. I then stepped forward and Annie and Tanner's eyes widened to the size of golf balls.
"Mr. And Mrs. Sully, It's great to see you again." I told them smiling, but the smile didn't help the fear I brought as only I stepped out. That's when I realized they were expecting me to tell them that Jake had died as well. "Jake sends his best. He decided to stay on Pandora." I quickly said. The fear automatically disappeared from their faces and smile's appeared instead.
"Kairi, this is Norm. He worked with your father while he was in the training program." Annie told her.
"Not to mention I've had the pleasure of working with your Uncle on Pandora." I told her with a smile. Her eyes widened.
"Uncle?" She asked me. I looked at Annie and Tanner confused.
"Your father's twin brother? Jake?" I tried again looking back at her. She raised an eyebrow at me before turning to her grandparents.
"My dad has a twin brother?" She asked them. Tanner sighed.
"Yes, but your Uncle Jake is on Pandora, and we don't know when or if he'll be coming back." He told her.
"Actually that was the point of my trip back to earth." I began. Annie and Tanner immediately looked at me, the fear back in their eyes. Kairi also turned to me her eyes filled with wonder and curiosity instead of fear. "Jake has decided to stay on Pandora, until he is to pass. In fact, he has become one of them. By this I mean his spirit no longer inhabits his human body, but his Avatar body, and it will from now until he dies." I told them proudly. "He has become Olo'eyktan of the Omaticaya Clan." I informed them, their fear turned into pride quickly.
Then I remembered what I had brought back.
"Oh! Jake wanted you guys to have," I paused a minute to dig through my backpack before pulling out a chip and holding it up, "this." Then I held it out. Annie immediately took it and examined it. "It's his video log. Also Mrs. Runder, I brought back one with pictures on it. Don't ask how I got them, all I can say is that it wasn't easy." I told her pulling another one out.
"Well then, let's go check it out." Mrs. Runder said taking the chip and making her way into the lab.
~*~Kairi's POV~*~
As we entered the lab I looked around a smile coming to my face seeing the pictures of Pandora.
"Lets see these things." The lady called Mrs. Runder said as she inserted the chip into a computer. The first picture came on screen and I cocked my head to the side as I examined the picture.
"I got that our first day there. Jake wanted a picture next to his Avatar." Norm explained and my eyes grew wide at seeing My Uncle Jake for the first time, even if he looked just like my father. Mrs. Runder switched the picture and gasped as a lady with red hair and a lab coat appeared on the screen next to someone who I could tell was in power.
"That's..." She began but Norm cut her off.
"Dr. Augustine. She became very fond of Jake and I but Colonel Quaritch shot her and in the end her wounds were too much." He sighed in distress before Mrs. Runder switched again. Another lady with black hair and a pilot suit on came on the screen.
"Ahh, Trudy Chacon, bravest and smartest pilot of the fleet. In the end, She was shot down and killed in the explosion, but I'm sure she knows she did not die in vain." He said with admiration. I looked up at him with curiosity before the screen was changed again and a picture of an Avatar came up.
"There's Jake, The first day we went out. The idiot wondered off and was chased by a Thanator that day. But that was a good thing, in one way. He met Neytiri that day."
"The princess of the Omaticaya clan?!" Mrs. Runder asked with surprise. Norm smiled and nodded before Mrs. Runder changed the picture once more, and this time a lady came up but she didn't look like she was human, or even an Avatar. She was full Na'vi.
"That is Neytiri, who by the way is your aunt now." He said smiling at me.
"Aunt Neytiri." I smiled at the sound of it. "She's beautiful."
"Yes she is. Kairi, do you mind if I speak with your grandparents and Mrs. Runder for a moment. You can look through the rest of the pictures if you want." He asked me I nodded and immediately began looking through the rest of the pictures.
~*~Norm's POV~*~
"What is it, Norm?" Mrs. Sully asked me as soon as we stepped out of the lab.
"She seems so into it. And knowing Jake, he'd love to meet his niece, not to mention that she seems to want to mee—"
"Where are you going with this Norm?" Mrs. Runder asked me with skepticism in her eyes.
"I think she should come back with me." I spit it out.
"What? No!" Mrs. Sully shouted.
"I think it's an amazing idea." Came Kairi's voice from behind them. I looked up to see the girl standing with the door closed. She was really sneaky.
"I should've known you'd be listening, but Kairi, It's dangerous. You're only thirteen!" Mrs. Sully argued with her.
"I want to go." She said with narrowed eyes and when her grandmother tried to retaliate she just continued. "I want to leave this boring colorless place. I want to become a part of the Omaticaya clan, and I want to meet my aunt and uncle. I want to see Pandora. It's the best opportunity I've ever had! I have no more life here. My mom is gone, and she was the only thing I had. I know it was her fault that I never knew my dad, because she told me that she left him and never told him that she was pregnant with me. Now I have the opportunity of meeting and living with the closest thing to my father, his twin. Please?" She asked tears building in her eyes.
"We could make her an Avatar, and by the time we got there, not only would she be of legal age but her Avatar would be fully matured." I added. She sent me a thankful look before looking back at her grandparents pleadingly.
"Fine." Mrs. Sully sighed before turning back to me. "I'm making her your responsibility, Norm. Make sure she's safe." She told me before giving Kairi a hug and kiss.
"If you're going back with him then you must stay with him. Kairi, you take care of yourself, and know that we will always love you, even if we've only known you for a week." She nodded as tears began to leak from her eyes. She then turned to me.
"What must I do?"
~*~
'Transmission Established,' my computer said and then Jake appeared on the screen.
"Oel ngati kameie, Norm." Jake greeted.
"Oel ngati kameie, Jake." I replied with a smile. "Look I'm bringing someone back with me."
"What? Who? Dude Neytiri will freak if I give you permission to bring just some random person..." Jake began to ramble.
"Jake! Shush! She's sleeping!" I shushed him looking back to make sure Kairi was still asleep. Thankfully Jake hadn't woken her up.
"Who, Norm?" He asked again, calmer and softer this time.
"You're going to freak when you hear this. She's your niece. Her mom never told Tom about her, and she wasn't even a year old when we left for Pandora. But her mom was shot in a bank robbery about two weeks ago, and she seems so fond of Pandora already. Your mom told me about a little fit she had in school the day she moved in with them, evidently she went off about how we were all just boring retarded people who wanted to kill the land, and about how our planet used to be beautiful, and she made a reference to Pandora during her rant. She seems wise for her age." I told him. He smiled.
"Just like Tommy." He said fondly. Then with a sigh the big blue version of Kairi's uncle sighed. "Alright. Bring her, but I cannot promise that Neytiri will like this idea."
"Kairi saw one of the picture's I got of Neytiri. She seems fond of her already, even before she's met her. She's excited to get away from here. I'm certain of that." I told him with a smile.
"Let's just hope Neytiri's the same way. Do you have a picture of her?" He asked me. I nodded and sent it to him. "She looks just like him." He mumbled.
"Yeah she does. But hey I need to go. I'll see ya in about six years." I told him with a smirk. He nodded and I turned off my computer.
This is just the Intro but... Yeah.
