a/n: hey yall!!! sooooo, i'm excited about this next chaptire and i hope u will likee it!
i was asleep on that ship for 6 years. i didn't age a day, i stilled looked like i was 14. even if was supposed to be 20. it was so cool, cuz i got to float and stuff. a lot of the ppl on there was from the military or scientists. when we landed i had to put on an exopack. (on Pandora, the air can kill u. it is full of poisin and things that can kill us. my dad told me that.). I still felt self consciuss about my eyepatch. i was took to go to a room where there was a lot of ppl from earth and they were waiting for something.
a man named colonel quaritch began his speech, "ladies and gentleman…you are not in Kansas, anymore, you are in PANDORA…." he made me feel nervous. idon't think I will like him.
As I left the room i followed a nerdy guy and a guy in a wheelchair into a big laboratory, place. they said their names was norm and jake. The norm guy said he heard about my dad's death and that he felt bad for me, the jake guy told me that I wasn't alone. his brother was murdered. we all saw our avatars, well almost all of us. Norm and jake had ones that looked just them, but mine was already out of her cannister. I hoped she wasn't defected. i heard a lady screaming at people about cigarettes, it was dr. augestine. dr. augestine spoke to the nerdy guy first and asked if his navi was any good. they had a short conversation in it and from the looks of it, norm had a lot to learn. then, it came to me and jake, she spoke to me in a somewhat cold way. Like norm, she said my dad was a good man and that she was sad to hear that he was gone. I fumbled with my eye patch as she went on. She then got mad at jake, he wasn't a scientist, he wasn't even a scientist's daughter! We all separated after that. we would join grace on an expedition to Pandora, later on.
i share a room with a woman named, Jacee Li. Jacee is twenty six and she works on developing the avatars. she very quiet and she works late hours, so we barely speak. And when we do, its usually about boring stuff like the time or when dinner starts. were basically strangers.
it was now time for us to link with our avatars! jake and norm were already in the laboratory room with dr. augestin, while I walked in last. i was scared. norm jumped in his avatar chamber and closed his without effort. jake got in, with a little help with dr. augstine, although he was about to mouth off before she closed his. i was mine turn, then. dr. augastine directed me to the last one and i did whatever she told me to do. as i layed down, she told me to clear my mind and close my eyes as soon as she closed it. and I did. I did not want her to get mad at me.
as I tried to blank my mind, I couldn't stop myself from wanting to think about my parents and my brother. i wanted to make sure I remembered their faces. After that, I officially was able to clear my thoughts.
I woke up in a hospital like room with a lady poking a light in my face and clicking her fingers in my ears.
"can you say something, angelique?"
"say something," I replied. i sat up, slowly, and I noticed that jake and norm were already beginning to get used to their new bodies. but I also noticed that they were bigger than me. i looked down the front of my hospital gown. apparently, I was smaller in more ways than one.
"why am I so small?" I asked, they told me that started growing mine three years after theirs, they thought I would prefer an avatar that was closer to me in age. My hair wasn't as smooth or straight as theirs, it was very thick and unruly, like a lion's maine. they were about to have me do more tests, but jake got too excited to walk again and norm had to chase after him. they (the avatar doctors) left me to my own devices. Which prompted me to run out as well.
Dr. augestine is much nicer as an avatar. She doesn't yell and the smoke smell doesn't exist in her clothes, anymore. She was friendly. She handed me a purple fruit. I have now decided it is my favorite food. i like it better than algae. as I sat on my new bed, I wondered if life was going to be like this every day. i hoped so.
