Here is chapter 4 as promised.

Review and tell me what you think.

You'll find some unfamiliar scenes in this chapter, but that's because I bought the extended version of Avatar and I'm trying to include them all.

So enjoy!


We ended up stopping under a canopy of leaves as Jake sharpened a sapling he had sharpened into a sharp point.

We then slowly walked back through the forest.

Once again I wished that Tommy was here. He had studied to become a scientist. He would be able to guide us through the forest to where we needed to go. I was just a doctor/diplomat.

Neytiri's P.O.V

I silently watched the two dream walkers as they passed by as I crouched on the large limb of the tree. The male was cautiously walking forward full of tension. I looked at the female who had the longest hair I had ever seen and saw she was just as stressed as the male. With my bow and arrows in hand I silently climbed to my feet and knocked an arrow. I slowly pulled back the bow string and took aim at the male when something stopped me. A pure spirit floated down and hovered over my arrow. It only stayed long enough to make sure that I understood the message then slowly floated away.

These dream walkers were not to be harmed.

Silently I started following them silently. Eywa had chosen them for something. That's the only reason she would have stopped me.

Amber's P.O.V

Night quickly came upon the forest.

It was then we heard the howling.

"Damn it. Jake were being hunted by a pack of viperwolves."

Jake quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it around the blunt end of his stick then tried to light it on fire with his matches.

"Jake you might want to hurry up." I told him as I heard the wolves come closer.

Finally Jake lit his torch. He pushed me behind him and waved the torch around revealing our followers that had surrounded us.

They were small black like creatures with glowing green lights, but they were no doubt lethal hunters. I could see their sharp teeth and claws.

"Come on! We don't have all goddamn night! Come on! Come on!" Jake shouted at them.

Of course due to Jake's taunting they attacked.

One jumped at Jake and he hit it with the torch.

I then saw a viper wolf prepare to jump at him from behind and shouted a warning to him, "Jake! Behind you!"

He turned and stabbed the wolf with the sharp end of his stick.

I was then tackled to the ground by a wolf.

It scratched me pretty badly in the arms when I heard a yell that wasn't Jake's.

The viperwolf went limp in my hold. As I threw it off me I saw an arrow in its back. Dead.

I caught sight of our savior. It was a female Na'vi.

She was swinging her bow around gracefully as she hit the viperwolves with it yelling.

She was then suddenly tackled by one. She rolled on the ground till the wolf was under her then stabbed it with her knife.

She then leapt for her bow and hit more viperwolves with it. Finally they backed away as she growled at them her tail whipping through the air.

She glanced at me and Jake coldly then she reached for the torch and threw it into the river while Jake yelled, "Hey, wait. Don't!"

I looked around in amazement as the plants around me slowly started to glow blue and purple and got brighter. It was almost like I was in a dream.

Scoffing in exasperation Jake walked into the river to retrieve his stick as I watched the Na'vi closely as she walked silently over to a badly injured viperwolf.

It was gasping and whimpering in pain. She put her knee on its throat then slid her knife into her heart, ending the creatures pain.

I listened silently as she blessed the viperwolf's journey to Eywa in Na'vi.

Jake then started walking towards the woman while I tried to stop him but he only shrugged past me.

"Look I know you probably don't… understand this but uh…" He crouched down to her level, "Thank you."

The woman just ignored him as she continued to bless the wolf.

"Thank you…that was pretty impressive." Jake repeated as she pulled her arrow out of her kill.

The woman then looked at him. I could see anger in her eyes.

"We would've been screwed if you hadn't of come along," Jake chuckled as he realized we had survived somewhat unscathed."

I could tell she understood him.

She then started walked away. She looked me in the eyes as she passed me. I could see was she was surprised at the sadness in my eyes. I knew what she had did hurt her in some way.

If we hadn't come walking around in the forest they would still be alive and I knew that's why she was angry at us because of it.

She then quickly walked away.

"Hey, wait a second," Jake called to her as he got up and followed her with me right behind him, "Hey where you going."

She didn't answer, she just kept walking and ignoring us.

"Wait up," my brother cried out as he tried to maneuver through the plants in his way, as he reached out for her arm, "Just, hey, slow down. I just wanted to say thanks for killing those things…."

And that was the worst possible thing he could ever say to a Na'vi.

She turned around and hit him with her bow before I was able to smack him knocking him to the ground while I just looked at him, "Ah, damn!"

She stabbed at his shoulder with her bow keeping him on the ground.

"Don't thank, you don't thank for this. This is sad, very sad only," she said with anger in her voice.

My brother just held his hands up in defense.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Whatever I did, I am sorry."

She backed away from Jake and shook her head as she held pointed back at the viperwolves bodies.

"All this is your fault. They did not need to die."

"My fault! They attacked me. How am I the bad guy." I kicked Jake in the side silently begging him to shut up, he just yelped then turned to glare at me.

The woman pushed him back to the ground with her bow shouting, "Your fault! Your fault! You're like a baby, making noise, don't know what to do."

"Easy, shhh. Fine. Fine." Jake slowly pushed the bow away and climbed to his feet holding his hands up in surrender.

"If you love your little forest friends, why not let them kill our asses?" My brother asked her as he pointed back to the dead wolves.

"Why save you," she asked trying to understand what she meant.

I didn't blame her. Even I had a hard time understanding him.

"Yeah, yeah, why save us?" Jake asked her again.

All of her anger and irritated look drained out of her eyes as she glanced at me and my brother with some sort of kindness in her eyes.

"You have a strong heart…no fear."

Before I could feel anything from her statement that irritated look came back to her eyes.

"But stupid… ignorant like a child." She directed that statement at my brother.

On that note she turned and began to make her way through the forest path.

Laughing Jake looked at me his eyes begging me to argue on that point to prove that he wasn't an idiot. But I just looked at him in exasperation as I started to follow the woman. My brother followed after me then ran past me toward the woman as I tried to keep up.

"Well if I'm like a child, then… Look maybe you should teach me."

I was following close behind when I heard her reply.

"Sky People cannot learn. You do not See."

"Well then teach us how to see," I asked her finally taking part in the conversation as I saw what Jake was trying to do.

"No one can teach you to See." She replied to me with less anger in her voice.

"Whoa," my brother said as he looked down from the large branch at the ground which was very far away.

"Look, come on, can't we talk? Say, where'd you learn to speak English. Dr. Augustine's school?"

Jake then slipped sending the torch falling to the ground. The woman and I quickly grabbed my brother and steadied him.

"You're like a baby." She told Jake once again and muttered a few Na'vi curses under her breath which I heard causing me to smile when I heard what she said.

She looked at me in embarrassment when she realized I had heard and understood everything she said.

Grinning in amusement I just said, "I must agree with you on that," then laughed which caused her to smile at me.

"We need your help," my brother begged her causing her to look back at him with a certain look in her eyes that I couldn't identify.

"You should not be here," she told us as she waved her hand in front of my brother's face.

"Okay, take us with you."

"No! Go back." She then started to walk away but we followed her.

"No," Jake replied stubbornly though I felt the same way.

"Go back."

She then looked up with surprise in her eyes causing my brother and I to look up as well.

Slowly these glowing white squid-like creatures floated toward us.

I stood still as they approached me, but my brother had other ideas.

He flicked on away from him causing the woman to grab his hand in anger, "No!"

I looked down at myself and saw the creatures slowly landed on me covering my whole upper body.

I looked at Jake and saw that the creatures were doing the same thing to him.

The woman looked at us in amazement.

"What are they?" Jake and I said at the same time

"Seeds of the Sacred Tree. Very pure spirits."

We were now completely covered by the creatures when the suddenly started to float away.

"What was that all about?" Jake asked her.

She started whispering in Na'vi then looked at us, "Come," she told us, "Come," she repeated as she grabbed my hand and pulled me along with her with Jake following us close behind.

"Where are we going?" Jake asked her.

She didn't answer. She just kept on walking.

She jumped over a stream with me following her.

She looked back at my brother and said, "Come," when she saw he was far behind.

As we walked on the purple moss I realized everytime I stepped on it a ripple of light would glow then disappear. I looked at it in awe.

"What's your name?" I asked her. But before she could reply something came flying out of the forest and caused my brother and I to fall off the branch and fall to the ground.

I untangled what had tripped me and jumped to my feet and saw direhorses with Na'vi on their backs come running at us.

They stopped and aimed their arrows at us. Jake and I tried to run the other way only to come face to face with more arrows. We were surrounded.

Suddenly the woman Na'vi jumped down and started yelling in Na'vi, "Calm people, calm."

One of the male Na'vi on the direhorses climbed down gracefully and detached his braid from the horses attnas.

"What are you doing, Tsu'tey? He is my captive." The woman growled angrily at the man.

"These demons are forbidden here. I will kill them as a lesson to the others." He told with just as much anger in his voice as the woman did.

"There has been a sign. This is a matter for Tsahik." The woman ordered him.

"Bring them," the man told the others as he climbed back onto his horse attaching his braid back to the horses attena.

"What's going on?" Jake asked the woman when we were both grabbed roughly from behind and were pushed to follow after their leader with the woman beside us.

After a short time we approached this very, very, very big tree.

We jogged into the tunnel of the tree's roots.

Na'vi people were everywhere. They pushed at Jake and I till we finally stopped in front of an elder Na'vi whom I guessed was their chief behind him was this spiral column of tree roots that went all the way to the top of the tree.

"Father," she said as she greeted her father in the Na'vi way, "…I see you."

The man then walked towards us looking at us with ice in his eyes.

"These creatures…why do you bring them here?" her father asked the woman.

"I was going to kill them…but there was a sign from Eywa." She told him.

"I have said no dream walker will come here. Their alien smell fills my nose."

This statement caused the Na'vi to laugh.

"What's he saying?" my brother asked me but the woman told him herself.

"My father is deciding whether to kill you."

"Your father, it's nice to meet you, sir," of course Jake being Jake he started to walk toward the chief when all the Na'vi cried out in alarm as they grabbed him.

"Step back." A voice halted them. I looked up and saw a woman walk down the spiral column and walk toward us

"I will look at these aliens."

"That is mother. She is Tsahik. The one who interprets the will of Eywa," she whispered to us

She then examined my brother and me by touching our braids and tails.

"What are you called?" she asked us in heavily accented English.

"Amber Sully and this is my brother Jake Sully," I pointed to Jake.

She then took out this sharp piece of bone that was being held by her headrest and pricked me with it and ran it over her tongue, then did the same with Jake.

"Why did you come to us?" she asked us loudly so all the Na'vi could hear.

"We came to learn," I told her with sincerity in my voice,

"We have tried to teach other Sky People. It is hard to fill a cup which is already full," Tsahik answered us as she looked at Jake and I.

"Well my cup is empty. Trust me. Just ask Amber here, or Dr. Augustine. I'm no scientist," my brother chuckled.

"What are you?"

"A healer and a diplomat. I travel between villages teaching them and also learn from them as well."

"And you, what are you," Tsahik then turned to my brother.

"I was a Marine. A…warrior. Of the Jarhead clan," my brother answered.

Hearing what clan he had put us both under I just shook my head. I'd have to thank Grace for putting that word in his head.

"A warrior. I could kill him easily," Tsu'tey said as he approached Jake.

At this comment my ears pinned to my head and I growled at him.

He advanced toward us only to be stopped by the chief.

"No, This is the first warrior and diplomat dream walkers…we have seen. We need to learn more about them." He announced in a loud voice.

Tsahik then looked at her daughter.

"My daughter…you will teach them our way…to speak and walk as we do."

"Why me? That's not fair-" the woman said when her mother waved her hand in front of her, silencing her daughter. This caused her to growl in annoyance.

Tsahik then walked back to us looking us in the eye saying, "It is decided. My daughter will teach you our ways. Learn well, Ambersully and Jakesully. Then we will see if your insanity can be cured."

I bowed my head in respect and thankfully Jake followed my example.

The woman Na'vi then took us and led us down the spiral column then separated us so we could change out of our torn and bloodied clothes.

She handed me a loincloth and this top that was similar to the one she was wearing. It had several flower-like petals and one of them was used to barely cover my breasts.

She then braided my floor length hair. The braids ended at my waist where my other thick braid was. Then she handed me a cloth which I covered my scratches with.

She then went to retrieve Jake.

He looked at me with awe.

I just shook my head laughing and pushed him to follow the woman as we headed back up the spiral column and came back to where we were before.

Now all the villagers were in a circle around the great bonfire crouched down eating.

She led us towards her parents I was careful not to step on anyone's tails then she pushed on our shoulders making us crouch down like the others. This little girl leaned forward so she could smile and look at us. I just smiled back when the Na'vi next to her pushed her back into her position.

The woman then returned with food in her hands and gave us some. It wasn't until then that I realized how hungry I was.

"Thank you." My brother and I told her at the same time.

"You know, we don't even know your name." Jake told her.

"Neytiri te Ckaha Mo'at'ite," she told us quickly that I didn't quite hear it all.

"Again, a whole lot slower?"

"Neytiri."

Jake of course mispronounced his name calling her, "Neytili."

"Neytiri," she repeated to him enunciating the word.

"Neytiri. It's nice to meet you, Neytiri. It's nice."

"Yes. It is nice to meet you Neytiri." I told her.

I then unwrapped the leaf that was holding my food and saw these shrimp like things. What was inside…well let's just say you didn't want to know but I just started eating it.

Because of my sensitive hearing I was able to hear what Neytiri's mother and father and Tsu'tey were talking about.

"These aliens try to look like people, but they can't." Tsu'tey whispered.

"Your mom likes me. I can tell," Jake whispered to Neytiri.

I almost laughed when I heard Mo'at say about him, "He seems dim. And his eyes are to small. The girl is quite knowledgeable,"

Neytiri motioned for Jake to eat more.

Of course Jake then told Neytiri, "These rock. What are they?"

"Teylu. You call them beetle larvae."

This of course caused Jake to stop chewing as he digested this information.

"That's some damn fine teylu. It's like grandma's taylu."

Neytiri then smirked at my brother then put some more teylu on Jake's plate.

I could see the challenge in her eyes as she looked at Jake.

Of course Jake accepted the challenge. He then took a handful of it and ate it.

Mo'at's whispering voice stopped me from laughing, "Neytiri will test this "warrior." Hey may learn nothing, but we will learn much."

"You speak truth. We must understand these Sky People if we are to drive them out." Mo'at's mate replied.

This sent a sense of uneasiness through me. Jake might not had realized how delicate our situation was, but I did. He probably thought we were one of the family now, just like that.

After dinner Neytiri led us up a few levels where hammocks were attached to the tree.

I jumped down in one then followed Neytiri's example and pulled the edge of the hammock, causing it to slowly close up like a cocoon.

Sighing I closed my eyes and returned to my body.

I once again opened my eyes to darkness inside my coffin.

My body hurt everywhere. Slowly I made my arms move to open the chamber letting air come in.

"Amber. Amber, are you all right," Grace's familiar voice asked me.

"Yeah. Could you help me up?"

I groaned as I sat up and felt Jake take my hand as I climbed to my feet.

"Ok. Now tell me where your Avatar's are," she commanded us.

I let Jake tell the story. I was too tired to say much of anything.

Finally after some checkups Jake and I were allowed to leave the science wing and return to our room.

I collapsed on top of the covers and fell asleep the second my head hit the pillow.


Phew! Another one done.

Review and tell me what you think of the story so far.

I'm going to take a short break, but I will update another chapter Thursday.

See you all soon!
