After playing around I made new friends: Na'tsuey, Talika, Amhelu, Dalue' and of course, La'ki. I was exhausted by the end of the day. The twilight arrived and painted the canopy red and orange. The kids asked to stay more but the elders refused to let them stay. In a matter of minutes there was nobody left at the RDA apart from me, Parker and the scientists.
I walked with my feet dragging while I looked amazed a twilight that I have never seen, the golden rays illuminated the windows in the small windows in the wooden cot, where a bunch of avatar trainees stayed. I was brushing my hair and remembered about what I missed about the Earth... smoothies, football.... hot dogs.... and old classic jokes from Chuck Norris, they had been around a little while, I remembered my grandpa always used to tell me those every single night. I let my self fall to my bed and curled up in a ball. I saw how the twilight melted into the night, and the stars appeared in a matter of seconds. Slowly, I fell asleep.
"wake up lazy bum!" someone said.
"hmm... leave my alone" I mumbled.
"Aw! Come one!" said a really familiar voice.
"La'ki?" I questioned.
"yes! Wake up! Lets play!" she answered happily.
"okay..." I set my feet on the floor and sat up lazily.
I went over the bathroom in the enormous hut. I looked into the mirror and brushed my teeth and my hair, cleaning my face and put on some clothes, a pair of short jeans, that went loosely on me and a plain white shirt. I got out of the bathroom and all of my friends stood waiting me.
"want to go outside the RDA to play?" asked Dalue' exited to play.
"yeah, sure" I said without arguing thou I would have totally argued with that, going outside? Sure...
I walked outside and the powerful rays of the sun illuminated the whole RDA giving me a better glimpse of the whole edification. Everyone rushed with Jake, the guy I met yesterday. He greeted all the kids with big hug from everyone. They talked to him in the weird language again. At first he frowned but then he accepted.
"we can go to the forest but we have to take his son" Mentioned Talika.
"who is his son?" I asked.
"his son is Te'tsan, he is kinda of a rough kid, you know... mean kinda like..." whispered Na'tsuey.
"okay...." I whissperd back
Te'tsan appeared out of no where. He looked 1 or 2 years older than me. His eyes where golden and big, he had 5 fingers as I did. He had very straight features and somewhat cute, his hair had a couple of braid with colorful beads in it and he looked at us like he didn't want to know anything about us.
The colorful leaves collected on each branch of each tree. As we walked the worn off path that directed the RDA to the new Hometree. I looked marveled by the beautiful colors in the forest. It was an explosion, everything was rare and exotic. I looked at the tree tops that had rare animals and fruits in them. I gazed marveled at every single thing in that forest.
"do you like the forest?" Asked La'ki.
"Its beautiful, like in a dream..." I whispered.
I stayed in silence, I wanted to feel the beat of the forest on my blood. I felt the vibration of the earth on my feet and the cool breeze of a spring morning on my face. I took a deep breath, letting the pure air fill my lungs and let the air out slowly.
"Aw! C'mon! It's only a forest!" protested Te'tsan in a perfect accented English.
"Okay, you just ruined you moron! I was enjoying the forest!" I complained.
"Marie, look the hometree!" shouted Na'tsuey.
I looked toward where Na'tsuey finger pointed. It was a beauty. A huge tree raised hundreds of feet above my head, it was enormous. It seemed like everyone of the Na'vi lived in that tree. It was amazing. Living in a tree it would be like living in a tree house, where my brother and I used to sleep to watch the stars, but we stopped doing it because the air started to be extremely toxic to humans.
"wow!" I exclaimed.
"isn't a beauty, well this belongs to my dad, the king of the Omaticayan" bragged Te'tsan.
"shut your mouth" I spitted back.
From now on, I kept myself away from Te'tsan, he was egocentric, arrogant, mean and a complete douche bag. Every time he open his mouth was for hurting my feelings, and made me feek even more down. I don't even know what I did to him! He is just plain mean.
"What now! What are-" bragged Te'tsan.
"Ah! Knock it off! I didn't come to the hometree to get insulted by some kind of big blue douche bag! I don't get how can your mother had created you!" I stomped really mad tired from all his comments and walked from where everyone was gathered. I walked furious back to the RDA by my self.
The the bright sunset shone thought the the canopy of leaves. Everything turned in a shade of dark orange, I could see Hell's gate from where I was so I rushed to RDA as fast as I could. The small twigs cracked under the stomp of my feet against the grown, making cracking noises and waking up all sorts of animals in Pandora. I stopped to catch my breath and I heard a small growl. I looked up and saw a group of shiny blue eyes. I looked terrified at the animals that appeared slowly out of the moon's shadow. The animals didn't sound happy, neither was I. Slowly, I crept backwards and step on a twig. The small wolfs growled even louder and I screeched and ran as fast as I could. I could feel the wolfs were at my heels, catching up with me. I screamed even louder that before. As I ran I looked straight forward,I was about 100 feet from the RDA. My lungs screamed for air and my tight felt like jello. The tree branches that collected under my feet seemed like they wanted to made me trip, and they made it. I fell brutally at the floor, causing deep wounds on my arm, legs, neck, face and tummy. I tried to get up but I was stuck on one of the tree roots, as if like the tree branch curled upon my foot. I closed my eyes praying upon my death. I was dead scared, until a felt a really warm feeling around me.
"Ahhhhh!" someone screamed.
a body fell on the sky a torch on hand. He stood with his back on me and scared the wolfs away with a weird hissing sound. The smell of smoke surrounded the scene. Slowly the wolf retreated and the Na'vi turned around.
"Te'tsan?" I said surprised.
"Look, I am sorry, after you left my parents arrived and Dalue' told them what happened and they grounded my and told me to go find you and...." he putted his hand on the back of his neck, apologizing.
"I don't care, I hate you and I don't wanna know anything about you! Go away! I don't want to see your face!" I screamed.
"not even a thank you!" he complained.
"why? You don't even deserve one!" I got onto my feet, cleaned my shirt and limped toward the gate. That open automatically. I could feel Te'tsan's gaze on my back
I limped slowly to where the corner of the hut was. I sat there and started to sob. The tears made that my naked flesh on my face burned, the drops of blood fell from my leg. The wet sensation of the blood filled my shirt and my head hurt a lot.
"Marie?" someone whispered.
"Who is this!" I shouted.
"calm down, its me, Parker... what happened?" He walked to the door of the hut.
"Te'tsan made me angry and I left the home tree, and on the way home I tripped really hard" I sobbed.
He looked at all my wounds horrified.
"What! You can't go around the world like that! We have to go to the nursery before something gets infected!" he spoke in horror.
Rapidly Parker took me in his arms and ran to the nursery, by the time he crossed the door of the RDA I fainted.
"Is she okay? She seemed really bad yesterday"
"She is doing okay, but she will need some rest before she can walk"
"will she run again?"
"yes that's for sure, just her body had some really serious scratches"
"such a relieve..."
Those familiar voices talked on the background, making me focus on the pain. The upper right arm, by right side of my thorax and both of my legs screamed in pain. It was that kinda burn you get when you have naked flesh exposed to lemon juice or something that makes it light scent of latex gloves, rubbing alcohol, Iodine and burned cloth filled the air in the room. I made an effort to open my eyes and see what was going on. And eventually my efforts blossomed their fruit, I opened my eyes slowly. But it wasn't that easy, I felt like I had to bench press 500 pounds with my eyelids, and they felt like sand paper when they rubbed my eyelids. I felt the pain arise from my wounds, like someone poured lemon in them. I let out a small grumble out and a yelp from the pain.
"I guess she is recovering faster than I thought" said the doctor.
I looked at the doctor, and beside the doctor there was Parker. He looked worried at me. His eyes brighten when he saw me that I was awake.
"Hey baby, how you're doing?" Asked Parker.
"Not so good, kinda in pain" I mumbled.
"Normal, the effect of the morphine faded" Spoke the doctor.
The doctor crouched his back and he took a small flash light from his pocket and flashed my eyes with it. After he noted down something at the clipboard he was caring and followed to record my pulse.
"I guess she will have to stay a couple days more and she can leave, just make sure she take's it easy" said the doctor noting down something in a sheet of paper, ripping it out and handed to Parker.
"just make sure before you leave pass thought the pharmacy and ask for this drugs, it will help with her pain" and then he left.
Parker took the paper, folded and putted on his pocket. Slowly he turned around facing me, sat on the small chair on the corner of the room while the sounds of the IV filled the room.
