Iszak Sully

TIKYON'S POV

I let my eyes flick around the open around that surrounded the fire pit, taking in the faces of all the Na'vi that were present; before they looked back at Iszak. Iszak was grinned, her teeth flashing in the firelight as people around her complimented her on how brave she was going up against the Thanator.

Ninaht sat next to her on the ground, laughing and giggle while Na'vi boys and men flirted and interacted with them. Jake and Neytiri sat close by, but more to themselves than out in the open. Mo'at stood behind her daughter and son, listening to Iszak and Ninaht, and sometimes joining in on their conversations. Leaving me, Maciiron and Alixan to stand by ourselves, close enough to hear what was being said but not close enough for them to bring us into their conversations.

The clan was gathered around the huge bonfire that was built in the middle of Kelutrel, (Every member of the clan could fit in this room, sitting down and still have room to move around). They were telling stories and enjoying small talk, not like other nights when Mo'at would conduct the spiritual ritual of the night.

I glanced around again counting the number of Na'vi there. I counted only 53. I realized that many of the hunters were out on a hunting trip the only reason why I wasn't on it is because I had to watch and 'babysit' Iszak. The number of women who weren't there were most likely to be sleeping in their alcoves or hammocks.

"Iszak!" I flinched as Tang-nari *Wolf-eye*, the clans youngest and most annoying hunter yelled. "You have done it again!" he smiled walking towards Iszak so he could speak with her face to face. "You have done what no other sky person could have done, Jake that had no meaning towards you." He added as an afterthought. I bit my tongue to keep myself from yelling at him. He showed Jake and Iszak a lack of respect which both of them dissevered. My anger was even more when I saw that Iszak blushed and gave him a small flirty smile and patted the ground next to her.

As he sprawled on the ground next to Iszak, Ninaht laughed aloud with joy and pride gripping Iszak's arm, "Tang-nari *Wolf-eye* is correct, Iszak. You truly are a Na'vi! You prove your selves to us all the time. But no other time was like today. You have shown us that we made the right choice by making you one of our clan and in turn one of us as Na'vi!" Jake nodded in agreement as he pulled Neytiri's body close to his.

I glared at the pair, feeling my heart rip in two. Jake with his long muscular cobalt arms wrapped around Neytiri's petite form with his hand resting on her large child bump. He held her so lovingly, so tenderly, it made jealousy rush through my blood making it sing. I was not in love with Neytiri, I did not want her as my own…far from it in fact. I wanted that same love and feeling and whatever it was that they had together, with Iszak. But seeing as that portion of my life was going nowhere, there was little I could do, but long and wait for it and that day.

My disgust rose when Tang-nari *Wolf-eye* lay his head in Iszak's lap. Annoyed I pushed myself off the column trunk of Kelutrel *Home Tree* and turned to Maciiron.

"I'm leaving. I'll go tell JakeSully and Neytiri, but I'm going to bed. Sorry." I growled my voice low and hushed.

"This does not have to with the fact that Tang-nari *Wolf-eye* is flirting with IszakSully does it?" I shook my head. "Well it sure looks like it to me, because you've been glaring and hissing and gnashing your teeth for about an hour now."

Alixan looked up and nodded saying, "I thought you would break your teeth at one point. The sound was making me sick." He smiled. I rolled my eyes and glared at him and darted forward to playfully smak his arm. "But if you want to go 'Tokyo Man' go right ahead." The urge to smash his head into the column was overwhelming. So I walked away, towards Iszak and her brother.

"JakeSully, IszakSully, Neytiri," I said not looking directly at them, "Please you will have to excuse me and my rudeness for leaving early, but today has been busy and I am quite tired. I wish to sleep so I am on my way. All I wished to do is say 'good night'." I finally looked at the three. Jake had a knowing look on his face. He nudged his sister in the back, making Iszak jump.

"I'll go too! I'm really tired and I think some sleep 'll do me good." She grinned and literally pushed him out of her lap. Standing up she grabbed me hand and laced our fingers together. "I think I'll sleep in your alcove if that's okay, cause knowing Ninaht," she giggled at glance at the girl. "She'll be out way late and wouldn't wanna have to worry about not waking me up."

"It's true and what makes it worse is that you are no light sleeper!"

I smiled and walked away bringing Iszak with me, her hand fitting perfectly in mine. My whole arm was numb. I sort of wished that I could pull me hand out of hers but I couldn't and nor did I really want to.

"You seem happy." Iszak's voice made shivers run down my back and my scalp prickle. "I glad you're happy. You didn't seem happy when you left me standing in the woods though." I stopped short. Iszak not expecting this was yanked back and crashed into me.

"I was not happy when I left. Why should I be when you are 'rubbing it into my face' that I love you and you do not return my feelings?" I asked my voice harsh, commanding and rough. Just like the voice I used to command other Na'vi men. Maciiron always said that men listen to the voice of the commander more than the commander themselves.

Iszak drew back as if stung or bitten. "You think I don't love you? You… you…I-I can't believe you really think that!" she pulled her hand from my grasp. "Maybe leaving the fire wasn't the best idea. Maciiron and Alixan were right. They said not to tangle with you, but no…I had to be stupid." She whispered to herself.

Gentle as I could, even though I do not think it was gentle at all, I reached out and wrapped my hands around her wrists and pulled her closer. "Are you telling me that you love me?" I asked my face close and yet farther from hers than I wanted it to be. "Are you telling me that I really am just a skxawng, and just do not pay any attention to things around me."

Iszak laughed and smiled at me. I pulled her close hugging her. Only to step back as she screamed in pain.
