As soon as we unlinked, Tom and I went to Jake's link pod as they opened it up. Unfortunately, he was passed out and not responding and it would seem he was still connected to his avatar.

"Jake!"

Grace called waving a flashlight through his eyes but of course, he still remained unresponsive. I pushed Grace away and began pounding Jake by the chest.

"Wake Up You Bloody Son Of A Bitch! You Can't Die Like This!"

Tom and the others blinked until I gave Jake a very hard blow in the chest did he seem to respond and coughed. Blinking, his hazy eyes went to us, crowding around him.

"What's going on guys?"

He asked weakly and I growled "You did a stupid stunt by running off to play cat and mouse with a black kitty and an equally stupid stunt by not responding and scaring the shit out of us!" Jake blinked as he sat up. Grace immediately held him by the shoulder.

"Is the avatar safe?" Jake looked at her and grinned "You wouldn't believe me if I told you" We all raised our brows, wondering what Jake meant.

~oOo~

We were all stunned, well I wasn't that stunned, to know Jake was now living among the natives, The Omatikaya, He said they wanted to study him seeing that he was the first ever warrior dream walker they had encountered.

This caught the attention of a man named Miles Quaritch and Selfridge. When Jake was called for them, an unsettling feeling went through the pit of my stomach.

Tom, noticing the distress look on my face became worried "Is something wrong Emmy?" I shook my head "It's just that, remember the bullet holes and the stains littered on the school house, I don't trust the people around here anymore" Tom nodded in agreement.

"Norm thinks that too but without knowing what happened at the school house, we can't be too sure what really happened"

I nodded before my direction went to the door where Jake had gone through "I have a feeling they are discussing on what to do now after this situation" Tom's eyes darkened.

"An opportunity like this should never be wasted so they're pinning for our brother to move them out? Is that what your stating?"

"Just a theory though I can't be too sure. What we do know is that they will risk life and limb to get those rocks"

~oOo~

After a few hours of sleep, I woke up to find Trudy telling me to head to the link chambers. I saw Jake and Grace with Norm. Grace was swiping pictures of some of the blue Na'vi. They probably must be important.

I yawned and headed towards them. Tom appeared moments later. Jake didn't have time to wave or greet us since he was already preparing himself to the link pod.

Before he fully got in, Grace held up a picture of a beautiful female Na'vi "Neytiri" Jake said softly earning raised brows from me and Tom from his sudden change of tone.

"She'll be the next tsahik, they are to become a mated pair"

Tough luck brother, looks like that woman's taken already.

Jake nodded before asking "So whose this Eywa?" Norm looked at Jake in shock "Whose Eywa? Only their deity, their goddess made up of all living things. Everything they know" Norm answered waving his hands and speaking to Jake as if he was repeating a lesson to a completely idiotic student.

"You'd know this if you had any training whatsoever"

"Well, whose got a date with a chief's daughter?"

Jake asked and Norm stuttered a but before shaking his head "Don't worry Norm, you'll get your chance, soon enough" I encouraged "I wonder how soon is " soon" for him" Jake mumbled and I glared before Grace's voice came.

"Neytiri was my best student, she and her sister Sylwanin"

We looked at her "So Jake's got a date with two Na'vi princesses? Lucky bastard..." Tom grumbled and I jabbed him in the chest before Grace flatly spoke "Sylwanin's dead" We didn't say anything but we also didn't look at Grace in the eye.

"Alright let's go, village life starts early" Grace said, pushing a few buttons on Jake's link pod. She turned to give Jake a serious look "Don't do anything unusually stupid" Jake chuckled.

"Grace you must know full well that Jake is the epitome of doing something stupid"

"And you my sister is the epitome of recklessness and having a big mouth"

I gaped as he winked at me and closed the lid. That male I swear...

"Alright you two, I'm gonna need both of you on something" Grace said, gesturing to Tom and I. We both looked at one another in confusion before following Grace.

~oOo~

Trudy dropped us off in the jungle before flying away, saying she needed to gas up her baby leaving us in the hands of the Pandora jungle.

"Well, let's get those samples before night falls and the last thing I want is to have another predatorial encounter"

Tom said and I nodded before we trekked through the forest to find the things we need. It wasn't that hard though, Grace had literally pinned down the locations.

"Okay, that's everything" Tom said zipping his pack as he started to signal a chopper to get us out when I jabbed him for attention.

"What? Is it a Thanator?"

Tom asked, eyes darting back and forth and when I shook my head but pointed to the direction of a floating white creature. It had the structure of a jellyfish but it was full of tentacles.

"Oh My Gosh!"

Tom gasped as two more appeared. I held out my hand as one landed. The other two landed on Tom's shoulder.

"What are these?"

"The Na'vi called them atokirina and in English term those are wood sprites, very pure spirits. They are usually around sacred places forbidden to us. I wonder what they're doing here"

No wonder, they have this calming effect around them. I watched as they danced around before floating away.

"Some Na'vi consider it a blessing to find those near here"

Tom said before they floated away and my ears twitched suddenly and I tensed. Grabbing Tom by the hand, I pressed my finger to my lips.

"We are being watched"

Tom's eyes widen as he looked around for any possible threat. Hearing movement from above, I barely had time to push Tom away and jump away before a blue figure with four fingers and toes jumped in.

"Tom Run!"

I screamed as Tom darted away but was stopped by another Na'vi. Tom gasped once he realized he was being gagged and bound with a knife at his throat.

"MMPPHH!"

I snarled before charging towards the Na'vi blocking my way, kicking my shoes off my feet, I ducked down as the Na'vi's blade swiped at me and I proceeded to swipe his legs, making him tumble down.

I pounced on the startled Na'vi holding Tom, who ducked at the last minute, and choked the Na'vi before throwing him away from the two of us.

Grabbing a Na'vi knife, I sliced the bounds of Tom as several more Na'vi appeared with arrows pointing at us.

Bringing the knife in front of me, I crouched down, shadowing my brother from underneath and hissed at them. Literally daring them to shoot.

The hesitated for a moment before Tom spoke in perfect Na'vi "Be calm, we bring no harm with us. We're simply passing through" Tom calmly spoke. The Na'vi eyed us for a moment before one spoke.

"You come with us Jakesully. Neytiri will give you your punishment for wearing sky people clothing and bringing dangerous people to our lands"

I blinked in surprise. We were near the Omatikaya territory? Shit!

"You people got this all in a mix match. This is Tom Sully, my geek triplet brother"

Tom quickly said that in Na'vi though in a less harsher way than I did. The Na'vi stared at us for a full blown minute before one spoke.

"I do not believe it until I take you to Neytiri"

I hissed again for good measure before I saw a tall, lean Na'vi come out of the shadows. His face was stoic and a scowl was present on his face.

"Tsu'tey"

One Na'vi greeted. I know they said his name in Na'vi but I know his face from the pictures Grace showed Jake. That scowling faced person is Tsu'tey, the best warrior of the Omatikaya and the next Clan Leader.

I glared at him, keeping myself close to Tom should in case they attack. I just hope Tom still remembered the basic defence skills mom taught us.

"What are you demon doing here? Why are YOU here?"

I think the YOU was directed to Tom since Tsu'tey was glaring at Tom full force. I scowled and spoke "Leave us alone, we were just gonna leave" I said through gritted teeth which Tom quickly translated.

Tsu'tey's scowling face didn't waver, it only seemed to intensify "We take Jakesully with us" This guy spoke English?!?

"My name is Thomas Sully, I am Jake Sully's triplet brother and this is Emersyn -"

Before Tom could say my surname, I glared at him to shut up, I don't trust these guys yet. Tsu'tey made an advance towards us and I tensed up as he got closer.

By Na'vi structure, he was close to being physically fit and was oddly handsome but that didn't deter me from killing this guy if he does anything funny.

An atokirina suddenly danced itself in front of me and the Na'vi gasped with the exception of Tsu'tey since his eyes just widen.

I watched it dance across my blade and I hesitantly lowered it down. The atokirina slowly flew away and I made a mistake by watching it because the next thing I know, a heavy pressure was on my neck and I blacked out.

Tom's screams was the only thing I remembered before blacking out.

Note to self: Never let your guard down even if a spiritual creature makes a dancing appearance in battle.
