I do not own avatar. sorry for not mentioning that before. I am sorry, I have no intentions of getting sued. the only character that I own is Marie Rouge. the other characters are based on the other people in the movie.
The next couple days were long and boring when it was time to leave I just wanted to run away from that room and go to the forest. Sadly I had to be fed with pills whenever I did physical exercise or I had pain. During the first week after the accident I barely looked at Te'tsan. Every single time our gazes met he would lower his head and look at the ground, and I would just look away and mind my business. Sometimes I would go to the hometree and play around with La'ki, Na'tsuey, Dalue', Talika and Amhelu. Talika and La'ki would braid my hair and put colorful beads on the braids and play dress up. With Na'tsuey, Amhelu and Dalue' I would plain Na'vi and Skypeople. As the time pas, we went to school together, while all of my friends learned english I was taught the language of the Na'vi. It was complicated, but at least I could communicate better with my friends. After school we would play around with the Pa'li, or Direhorse.
As the months passed the years passed, until I was 16 years old. Parker and I moved with the Na'vi couple months ago, so the Na'vi would trust Parker. For me Parker was the father I never had, and lets just say I never met my dad. I lived with my mom and brother, but my mom died when I was six, so my brother had to care about me. Now Parker takes care from me, sometimes he would stay up late with me when I would cry on his shoulder from having a terrible nightmare. He would be by my side every time I got sick, and when I scraped my knee or I fell from a tree (it happened before, trust me, it hurts) he was there to take me to the doctor. Ever since we started our training he was by mi side when I was sore, pulling wet rags over my muscles when he was even sorer than me.
It was dinner time and Parker and I always ate dinner by the small river near the hometree. This time we had fruit with some cooked meat, sometimes the Na'vi eat it raw (gross!). As we sat, we gazed the twilight together, this was a family silent moment, kinda of a ritual. I looked my self at the river's reflection Parker spoke.
"So, what's going on with Te'tsan?" asked Parker.
"he is a douche bag" I answered immediately.
"Aw! C'mon! He is a hell of a nice guy!" complained Parker
"Yeah! Right! He is the one that made me fall that night! I still remember!" I took a bite of my food
"I sometimes think you guys should mate"
the food that I swallowed got stuck into my throat, I choked on the piece of meat. quickly I fall onto the river and I drank some water, taking a big gulp of water and a mouthful of air.
"you're joking right? I was thinking more with Na'tsuey" I said after gasping of air.
I pulled all my hair back, the bouncy curls were a mess and the normal human style clothing was getting ruined (I am not running around half naked with no bra).
"Yeah right, I bet you guys will make a cute couple" laughed Parker.
"In your dreams! Te'tsan is the most annoying living thing in the universe" I mumbled climbing out of the river.
"Take my jacket, you will freeze" He handed me his nice sweat jacket.
I took the jacket and covered my shoulders with it, slowly I realized it wasn't that cold, it was barely summer. I remembered Parker used to take my to the beach during the summer and have our own human time when he cooked pizza and eat it around the bonfire, sometimes we would take La'ki with us, thought her mother didn't really like the idea.
"look there comes your most beloved Na'vi" he said when Te'tsan walked by our side.
I rolled my eyes, ignoring his greeting and muttered a "get lost" he grumbled and walked away.
"Aw! Isn't that sweet?" laughed Parker.
"shut up, and get a girlfriend" I grumbled.
"I'm not allowed to mate, anyways I'm to old, so give me some grandchildren" he joked.
"ha! Nice one" I laughed.
"I am serious with the grandchildren thought, if you don't pick a mate by next year I'll have to pick him for you, even thought we are 'human' we have to follow the Na'vi traditions" he spoke so serious he scared me.
Slowly we gazed the sunset together, finished our diner. Slowly we made our way up through the hometree to our hammocks. Which were distant from the other hammocks, but they had amazing views. We gave each other a good night and went to sleep.
The dawn broke, lighting my face with the soft warm of the sun, slowly I covered my eyes and rested for a bit in the hammock. Slowly I woke up and got out of the hammock, reaching into my "care bag" where I had my shampoo, brush, tooth paste and tooth brush. I took a morning bath in a pond that I discovered not so far from the hometree and brushed my hair and teeth. Since today I had training, I had to quit the normal clothing and put my native clothing. The cloth bra atached around my torso with a simple knot and a weird thong thing, that braided on my tail. Slowly my hair dried leaving the curly hair behind and combed. After I took some breakfast and ran towards the training ground. There all my friends waited for me.
"well, I see everyone is here, so the training will begin" directed Jake, the trainer.
Jake was a bunch of things: Toruk Makto, ex-avatar driver, sempu, Olo'etycan, and trainer. Damn boy! Those are some mad skills!.
"today I have a council meeting, with the elder. I will pair up everyone with a trainer today. I will hear no complain from anyone, if I hear trouble from you consequences can be harsh" I suddenly muted Jake's voice, I was to lazy to listen but I just waited to listen for my name.
"Marie, with Te'tsan" I felt my stomach churn.
Everyone gave my a surprised look, everyone knew to not mess with me and Te'tsan, but this time Jake touched my nerves. I didn't complained, nor roll my eyes, that was just simply immature and childish. Te'tsan walked up to me, even thought he was 5 inches taller than me, I that didn't intimidated me.
"Te'tsan, I expect good things about you, and Marie, be comprehensive, I paired you with Te'tsan for a reason" said Jake
I looked away from Te'tsan, graving my bow and arrows. I didn't even look at Te'tsan, he just was a moron. With the feelings of a brick, and a stone-head.
"Get your stuff, we're training on the open land" he said coldly.
I just got my stuff and followed Te'tsan. We walked for at least half hour until we arrived to a great plain. The tall grass grew until my low waist. It was green and there was no trees apart for a 20 feet tall tree in the middle of the plain. I reminded me of an African plain. But it was greener and it had more animals. Everywhere I looked there was an animal or two. Mostly Pa'li. Te'tsan made a whooping noise and a big Pa'li came out of nowhere.
"We're going to train how to ride a Pa'li" He spoke softly, as he stroke the Pa'li's skin.
I dropped my stuff to the floor, near where he left his stuff. I walked moving my hips with a great swing and my chin high. He tried to look away. But it was a fail. I made Tsahaylu with the Pa'li and got onto it's back. Even thought I never rode an animal I wanted to look professional.
"you never rode a Pa'li" stated Te'tsan.
"I never rode a Pa'li" I stated.
"Well, since my dad paired you with the best Pa'li rider in the whole clan, you will learn from me" he bragged
"See! That's why I hate you! You are such a bragger and a brat!" I said
"Well get used to it, its my nature" he laughed
"One reason more why I want to mate Na'tsuey" he instantly froze on his place and looked back at me
"Well nice one, My father and Parker were thinking about mating you with me" he smirked a stupid smile on his face.
"Yeah, over my dead body Te'tsan Sully" I spitted back.
"Now I understand where Rouge comes from" He whispered.
During the whole training our arguments were endless. We always fought for something. Either he wont shut up or I would keep complaining he was the worst Na'vi on the face of Pandora. Every single time he tried to teach me something it would turn out to be a torture. Endless, I don't get how in the world could Jake have a kid like this one!.
"Okay, I think we are done for the day... pretty much" he posed his hands on his hips and dropped his head forward.
"That means you're done with bragging and complaining right?" I said with a glimpse of hope.
"I complain because you provoke me"
"And I get provoked because you are around!" I shouted getting of from the Pa'li.
"Huh! You think so? Look, I am trying to get along here but you are so... such a bitch!" he shouted back.
"A bitch huh? Well you are a douche bag, ignorant, a child, brat, and still, and still, the rest of the clan loves you! You are the most arrogant person I ever met! And if they are mating us together, I swear for God and Eywa, it will never happen, and if it does, is over my dead bodies" I spitted.
Quickly I grabbed my stuff and walked away. I could hear Te'tsan grunting about what a bitch I was and he wished he never met me.
I walked thought the forest and it was getting dark, I could hear Te'tsan's footsteps following behind me. I grunted and whispered wishing that they had never paired me with Te'tsan.
Once in the hometree I went climbed up to my hammock. I brushed my hair and put on some real comfy clothes. A pair of broken jeans and a tank top. I brushed my hair and dried the tears that they were about to fall out from my eyes. Today was the worst day ever.
"Hey baby, is everything okay?" I heard Parker walking towards me.
"Te'tsan is a jerk" I said coldly.
"I have some bad news" sorrowed Parker
"May be not so bad as my day" I whispered to myself
"Honey... I have to chose a mate for you. It seems the clan can't wait anymore. Jake is getting too old for ruling the Omaticayans. They decided the best female in the clan is you. You are mating with Te'tsan. Its for your sake, my sake, Omaticayan's sake." he talked while holding my hand
My response was walking away. I didn't want to know anything about anyone now. I climbed down to the patio where Na'tsuey was waiting for me.
"I heard the news" said Na'tsuey.
