I woke up early, ate my breakfast and linked up with my avatar while the others were snoring their asses off. Grace had slept in where Norm was sleeping because a certain "male" was sharing a bed with a female pilot.

Waking up in my nivi, I smelt something strong and masculine next to me. With my senses slowly sharpening, I held back a startled scream to see a familiar warrior's face very close to me.

Tsu'tey...

How?!

What?!

Shit?!

Thoughts swirled in my mind as Tsu'tey slept away. How can he sleep at a time like this?!?!

My brain wracked up what had happened that I ended up sleeping here with Tsu'tey but my mind was in mush of the booze I just had last night.

Damn drunkenness!

I scooted away from Tsu'tey for me to move away but his arm shot out and held me in a vice grip. Fate really must have given me bad luck.

I bit my lip and watched his facial features. His scowl was gone and a serene look was present on his face and I found myself entranced.

This was the male that pushed me to the limit, the male that made me go wild with rage, and the male that I - HOLD IT! I'm treading dangerous steps here, I can't fall in love with Tsu'tey or any male in the Omatikaya. I'm a tawtute, a sky person and Tsu'tey's enemy.

I sighed, looks like I wasn't going anywhere in the meantime. I closed my eyes and just take in the sounds of the forest in the morning.

~oOo~

Back in Site Sector 26, Tom and Jake had recently woke up and saw their sister's link pod already running. Tom yawned and ate his breakfast while Jake took out a Na'vi language book and began to read.

"I didn't take you to be the nerdy type" Tom joked but when he saw the seriousness in Jake's eyes, he knew something was up.

"Is something wrong Jake?" Jake looked at his triplet brother and opened his mouth to answer when he shut it again "I think its best if Emmy were the one to hear this" Tom nodded slowly.

"Well, you can talk to her in your avatar form, she's linked up"

Jake nodded and munched down on his meal before wheeling himself to the link pod and linking himself in.

~oOo~

Jake shot up from his nivi and walked towards his sister's hammock only to find something that might just plague his mind for hours.

"Sis!..."

Jake whispered harshly, making the avatar in front of him open her eyes and looked at Jake pleadingly. Jake waved his arms wildly as he gestured to Tsu'tey's arms around his sister

"Don't even..."

Emersyn growled out. Jake shut his mouth and the two siblings froze when Tsu'tey was showing signs of waking up.

Emersyn gestured Jake to meet her below and a hesitant brother walked away, glancing back every often at his sister.

~oOo~

I waited for Tsu'tey to actually wake up but all he did was shift and go back to sleep. Are you kidding me?! The sun I almost up and I could hear some Na'vi start their daily chores.

"Tsu'tey...hey Tsu'tey!" I called and shook him "SKXAWNG!" I screamed and his eyes shot open and his hand went up to choke my throat.

"Ack! Its me Jerk!"

I managed to force out before his hand let go and Tsu'tey scrambled up and out of my nivi. He glared at me and I glared back "What the hell was that for!" I snarled.

"Why did you scream in my ear?!"

"Why were YOU sleeping with me!"

By now, almost all Na'vi were hearing Tsu'tey and I screaming at each other and calling bad names from English to Na'vi.

Jake winced when Neytiri came over to him "What has happened?" Jake shrugged "Found Tsu'tey cuddling Emersyn, got herself upset" Neytiri nodded, looking up at the branches of Hometree where two Na'vi were arguing.

~oOo~

When Tom and Ni'nat were awake and had heard about Emersyn and Tsu'tey's argument, they had rushed to Jake and Neytiri who had a fuming Emersyn with them in a nearby lake.

"Who the hell did that jerk thinks he is?!"

Emersyn snarled, her hands clipped to the sides, obviously pissed till kingdom come. Neytiri had a pondering look in her face "Tsu'tey has never slept beside another female when Sylwanin died" The people around her grew silent.

"What do you mean Neytiri?" Jake asked with a concerned look "Before I was betrothed to Tsu'tey, he and Sylwanin were to become the mated pair and when she died, he promised that he will never sleep beside any female even me. His love for Sylwanin caused him to say that" Neytiri looked at Emersyn, who held a stunned look in her face.

Jake mustered out a "Thank god..." Before Tom glared at him. Emersyn sighed and walked away from Hometree. Ni'nat an Neytiri made a move to follow but were held back by Tom and Jake.

The boys shook their heads, they knew better than to follow Emersyn while she's in a bad mood.

~oOo~

I have no idea Tsu'tey had a past lover. I touched my chest where my suppose heart was beating, the nasty feeling was sprouting again only this time it was stronger.

I must be sick.

I trekked through the forest a little more before I heard the sound of Na'vi feet pounding across the dirt. To my surprise, I saw Tsu'tey walking and looked like he was waiting for something.

A shadow passed by and my eyes must have gone wide because a nantang suddenly came and held its tswin towards Tsu'tey who connected his. Looks like those two are busy talking. I took a step back but the creature noticed me and snarled.

"Who's there!"

I heard Tsu'tey call out sharply and I signed before emerging from the trees. I grinned and waved at the two. Tsu'tey glared "What do you want?" I winced "Sorry for yelling in your ear and having that argument. But still, what would a girl feel when she sees a male next to her?!"

I know I was rambling and Tsu'tey and the creature eyed me before he spoke "I apologize too" I could see how much Tsu'tey doesn't like apologizing earning chuckles and rumbles from me and the nantang.

"Care to introduce me to your friend?"

Tsu'tey looked at the creature before answering "This is an old friend of mine, Sylwanin and I met him injured and nursed him back to health" At the mention of Sylwanin, my heart twisted painfully again.

I smiled and slowly patted the creature who purred. Tsu'tey coughed to get my attention and he spoke "We must go, it is almost time for us to hunt" I grew confused, we were going to hunt?

Hunt what?

~oOo~

Sturmbeest Stampede is just a lot like an elephant stampede.

Neytiri let out a call which made other Na'vi respond. There were hunters on pa'li and ikran and Jake was with Neytiri while I was with another Na'vi hunter. I watched from above as some pa'li riders tried to hit their arrows and spears on the sturmbeests but their hides were too thick.

I watched with wide eyes as one Na'vi fell down when a sturmbeest slammed itself on his pa'li thankfully, both were unharmed. Tsu'tey swooped down and eyed the sturmbeests running.

Jake and I watched him as he ordered his ikran to glide down and he hit the breathing hole of a sturmbeest and it fell down. Pure power and co fidence radiated from within him and I caught sight of Jake scanning the sturmbeests.

Neytiri and I watched him as he ordered his ikran to swerve right and pulled his bowstring back and aimed it to a running sturmbeest in front of him. Seconds later, the sturmbeest fell with a loud roar and Jake pumped the air.

"Hell Yeah!"

"Hell Ya!"

Neytiri responded back, raising her bow and I grinned. Nice way to impress the girl Jake. My thoughts were cut off when the hunter beside me called "You must shoot now!" I nodded and saw Tsu'tey staring at me with an intense gaze and I bit my lip and looked down to find a kill.

I saw a pa'li rider about to get hit in the back by a sturmbeest and I immediately ordered my ikran to swoop down behind the pa'li rider and in front of the sturmbeest. The hunter made a confused sound but I notched my arrow and drew the bowstring back.

I quickly twisted and aimed at the breathing hole of the sturmbeest and fired. The sturmbeest fell and I heard Jake call out "Nice One Sis!" I grinned and gave him thumbs up. The rider gave me a grateful smile before I soared up to find another sturmbeest to kill.

~oOo~

When the hunt was over, a few riders had gone back with the dead sturmbeests to clean up for tonight's dinner. Jake and I were the only ones left along with Neytiri. Tsu'tey had gone back to help and had let me go with Neytiri and Jake.

We were Stone Cold Aerial Hunters, Death From Above. The only problem is...you not the only one.

A shadow loomed over us and Jake looked up to see a large ikran (actually, it was too huge to be an ikran) dive down with its talons raised.

"DIVE!"

Jake yelled and we barely managed to escape its talons as we dived through the trees and tried to lose the creature. A similar creature burst through and blocked our path.

Jake and Neytiri headed right while I headed left. The creature up front turned to me and almost snapped my ikran's tail in half. I cursed and tried to wrack my brain up for an immediate escape plan when I saw the long and large vines up ahead.

I ordered my ikran to dive in and I was relieved that the creature was too big to fit through. It gave a frustrated roar before flying away. I saw Jake and Neytiri laughing their hands off and I landed beside them.

"Glad to see got still alive"

Jake grinned and I have him a look "As if a 6 foot tall ikran could kill me" I joked. We stayed for a while just to make sure the two won't return before bounding away to Hometree.

~oOo~

Neytiri had explained to us that the two creatures that almost made a midday snack of us were called Toruk or Last Shadow. Tom had been disappointed he never got to see one because it was rare for a toruk to be seen flying around.

I was just on my nivi to change my Na'vi clothes when Ni'nat appeared, looking a bit inside and nervous. I raised a brow "What's wrong Ni'nat?" Ni'nat bit her lip before asking.

"What does Tom see in females?"

I blinked, clearly not expecting that question "What?" Ni'nat sighed and asked again "Does Tom have a tawtute mate?" I blinked again. How am I gonna explain this to her without breaking her heart?

"Lots of tawtute females want him" I said bluntly making Ni'nat frown before I spoke quickly "Tom has not looked at a tawtute female since he is busy being a...singer" Ni'nat's eyes brighten before they darkened.

"What's wrong?"

"I have fallen in love with Tomsully..."

Oh No! I am not going to get involved in some romance drama!

"But I think he doesn't love me"

I blinked then patted her "How will you no if you never said those words to him?" Ni'nat but her lip "What shall I do Emirsensully? I am...afraid" I sighed. I am not use to emotional women.

"Don't be, usually it would be Tom who would be coming here"

This made Ni'nat chuckle and smile. I grabbed her hand and marched forward to the place were the Na'vi were gathering.

"Let's go and get your man!"
