My whole life I have felt out-of-place on earth. My parents loved me of course but it seemed like they were too busy with trying to save the slab of concrete we call earth.
My mother and my father were scientists, botanists to be exact. They studied plants for a living really exciting stuff, and that's not even the best part. I was born with Violet eyes and Pale almost glowing white hair.
Everywhere I would go all throughout my childhood and even now almost 18 I still get looks of disgust. Now add in the fact that I'm a lesbian and I could probably be put in a museum. That's why I asked my parents if I could be Home-schooled.
If it wasn't for our family friend and my teacher, Grace Augustine I never would have made it through. Grace taught me all I need to know. She was obsessed with the Na'vi so every day when she would come over to teach me she would teach me all about the Na'vi, their language, their way of life, everything she possibly could.
By the time I was ten I could speak full Na'vi and I excelled in all my classes.
When I had turned eleven Grace told me they had started a new program called the avatar program. It was where humans could travel to Pandora and become an avatar through these remotely controlled bodies. They would take your DNA and some of the natives and create an avatar.
I was amazed until Grace told me she was leaving to go to Pandora. I was of course happy for her but she was my only true family. I had started calling her Sa'nok (mother) because of how I only saw my parents once a month. I was struggling to hold in my tears while she told me it would take 6 years to get there. I was yelling at her telling her I would be 17 by then and that's when she said ''I want you to come to Pandora when you turn 18.''
I was shocked. I hadn't even thought about going but then I realized that I had no purpose here on this broken rock called earth. My parents knew rarely anything of me except my name, lor'syulang. My real name is Loren but I was given a second name by Grace. It meant beautiful flower.
I answered with ''I guess I will see your old ass in Pandora?''
She gasped and said ''We do not swear 'eveng!'' for a second I thought she was serious but then I saw the twinkle in her eyes and she started chasing me around the house.
Next thing I knew I was saying good-bye to the only real mother I have ever known. It felt like everything I had was being taken away from me and all I had left was Pandora.
I started working harder if that was even possible, I trained hard-core to be a warrior, I practiced every day and every time I beat all my opponents. Everything was going good until a week before my eighteenth birthday when I got a call. I had answered the phone with an annoyed ''hello.'' since I had just been asleep.
''Hello is this Loren Mitchell?'' a deep voice replied
''Yes how can I help you?'' I asked
I heard a sigh on the other end of the line, ''it's your parents, John and Michelle were mugged and during the mugging they were killed.''
(Loren POV)
That's I how I got here. I was standing with two other men; we were just watching the bodies of my parents turn into ash inside the machine.
I finally asked, ''What do want me to do?''
One man stepped forward and said, ''We can arrange it so that you come to Pandora on the next flight out a week from now and you will put in the avatar program. It will only take two years to get there now with the increased technology, now all we need to know is if you want to go or not?''
I stood up tall and started walking out but not before I said, ''I will see you in a week boys.'' Once I got outside of the building I couldn't stop the tears. I had no one left anymore, no one but Grace and now there was nothing binding me here, nothing stopping me from leaving. This was no longer my home.
