Tsu'tey's P.O.V
Awakening to the jungle's song of the early morning, I expected to find myself curled up in cocoon, however, I instead found myself blissfully curled up next to Mia. As reality sat in, and last night events came to rest in my mind, I found there were absolutely no regrets to what I had just done; to what we had just done.
Mia had come here an outsider, a dreamwalker, but gradually she made a place for herself within our home. She had became a friend, a sister, and a daughter all in a short amount of time, but most of all she had now become my mate, or as her culture put it, my wife. There was no turning back from here. We would have to take the consequences with dignity, whether they be good or bad. I was in love with this woman who lay here beside me. My heart, that had closed long ago after Sylwanin's passing, had opened up, and why? The reason was because of this beautiful, smart, headstrong woman who had fought tooth and nail to become one of the people; this woman whom had faced her fears and her faults. This woman who had fallen in love with, of all people, me, and even if her soul didn't truly lie right here at this very moment, I knew that somewhere her true self had the same smile on her face just as her Na'vi self now held.
Carefully moving my hand I let it run through her soft light brown hair. I let myself breathe in her scent of the same sweet blossom that still, through all that we had done last night, stayed attached to the two braids woven together at the back of head. Ever so gently I let my hand caress her smooth skin, as I placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. It seemed to me as if nothing could ruin this morning, however I was sadly mistaken.
My ears perked up hearing the sound of a tree crashing down nearby…and then another, and after that then came its twin. Carefully sitting up as I placed Mia into a comfortable position, I stood and looked around trying to see what was going on, but as far as I my vision would let me look, I found there was nothing to be making those noises. All I could see were the trees and their white limbs as they swayed with the breeze.
Suddenly came the roar of a machine; a machine I had heard once before. The same kind of machine Sylwanin had destroyed, and been shot down by the sky people for doing so.
More trees fell, and the closer it got I was finally able to see that it was coming right at us. Looking back at Mia's peaceful form, I immediately went to her. I knew she would not wake no matter how many times I begged her, or shook her. So instead I swiftly picked her up into my arms, and by the time I stood the machine was almost upon us. Cursing angrily I started to run as fast as my legs would carry me.
Mia's P.O.V
Opening my eyes to the morning sunshine creeping in through the porthole next to my bunk, I couldn't help the grin that washed over my face. This morning I felt like a new woman. I felt like nothing could bring me down.
Last night had been life changing, not to mention magical and absolutely amazing. However lying in this bed, I found all I wanted to do was immediately go to my link bed and return. Not that there was anything wrong about being here in this trailer. Everyone was all smiles this morning; even Jake who was just pulling himself into his wheelchair next to, as of the moment.
Throwing back my covers I hopped up and made a beeline to the bathroom first. It felt like forever since I had gone, but by the time I was out and redressed into a pair jean shorts, and white tank I felt a heck of a lot better.
With one thing on my mind I began heading straight for Gorgeous, as I casually pulled my hair back into a semi-high ponytail to get it away from hanging in my face. Upon entering the room I noticed Jake down at the end with Norm, who was goofing off in his wheelchair, getting ready to link as well.
"Don't forget your phase intergration. No, no, the middle button" Norm warned Jake as he began to set up his link.
"JAKE, MIA YOU GOTTA EAT SOMETHING," Grace called coming around the corner with plates in hand. Groaning she didn't give me much time to get away from her before she forced a plate into my hand and ordered me to come sit and eat with them real quick.
Walking over I took a seat next to Norm as I began to literally inhale the scrambled eggs on my plate. However Jake was still getting set up in the link bed, which I instantly noticed was aggravating Grace.
"Don't make me force-feed a cripple," Grace warned with seriousness and a jokeful attitude all in one. I didn't really doubt that she wouldn't try to do it either though. Jake and I both still looked like sticks, and our health wasn't as good as it was when we had first gotten here. So Grace did have a right to be getting onto us about our eating habits, not to mention or full health.
"Grace, I don't want…" however Grace wasn't having none of it as she reached over, and pressed the big red button on the machine, which almost immediately shut the whole thing down, "HEY!"
"Just do what she asks, Jake. It won't kill you," I spoke through a mouthful of eggs. Looking over at me with a playfully scowl he picked up the plate and started to scarf down as much as he could at a time, while Grace took a seat beside him to make sure he ate all of it.
"Okay," she warned at one point when she noticed he had trouble swallowing. Slowing down he finished off the plate, and took to downing the rest of his water right about the time I did. As I stood up, he handed his plate to Grace replying hurriedly, "Here. I'm done. Let's go." Shaking my head I walked off as Norm started to set Jake's link back up for him. Doing the same for mine I heard Grace reply motherly, "And when was the last time you took a shower?" Speaking up for him I replied, "Probably when we were at Hell's Gate." Giving me a look Jake replied, "I don't need a shower."
"Jesus Marine," Grace mumbled as she punched some buttons on the computer screen above him. Getting the final touches set for my machine I jumped on in, but not before Grace came striding over to reprimand me some too.
"And when was the last time to you washed your clothes. Your dirty clothes are a pile high in the corner next to your bed," Grace replied as she looked over my machine to make sure I had gotten everything right.
"I will tonight. I swear," I promised as I pulled the net down. Before I could get the hatch she turned to me and warned, "Be good."
"Ain't I always," I smirked as she rolled her eyes and shut the hatch for me. Relaxing, I closed my eyes and let my thoughts drift away. Before I knew it I was traveling through the tunnel of neon lights back to my avatar.
However, upon arriving, I found something seemed wrong, and as I opened my eyes I realized why. Instead of lying next to Tsu'tey he was instead running through the jungle with me in his arms.
"Wh-what's going on," I mumbled still half-in, half-out of it. Stopping immediately, he looked down at me, and it was then that I saw the fear and anger in his eyes. Letting me down carefully he spoke furiously, "The machines…they're destroying the forest."
"Wait…WHAT," I asked, and it was about that time I heard them, as a tree came crashing down near us. Screaming in fright, I found myself backing up into Tsu'tey.
"Come on, we need to get out of here," he called over the roar of the bulldozer's engine, and the crashing of nearby trees and plants. Taking my hand roughly he began to drag me along with him as we jumped, or ducked under the plants or limbs of the trees. Running across the same large root I had came across last night we made our way back to Home-tree.
Halfway there though, we ran into a group of warriors as they urged their direhorses forward toward us. "What is going on," one of the female warriors asked fearfully looking at Tsu'tey.
"The sky-people have brought their machines and they are destroying the Tree of Voices," Tsu'tey informed them as a fellow warrior jumped off of his steed and motioned for Tsu'tey to take him. Without taking his hand out of mine he pulled me with him while he linked with the creature. After helping me onto the direhorse, he jumped onto the animal's back and turned to the warrior who had been gracious enough to let him take it.
"Go back to Home-Tree and tell Eytukan what I have told you," Tsu'tey ordered him, but the boy was still staring between us curiously, as well as the rest of the group. Noticing this Tsu'tey became even angrier, "GO, NOW!" As if coming out of a daze the young warrior backed up, nodded, and then took off on foot back to Home-Tree.
Turning to look forward, Tsu'tey ordered the direhorse on, and just like that we were heading back to the one place we had just barely escaped. Wrapping my arms around his waist to prevent myself from falling I tried not to look at the others, but I could feel their hot stares burning into the back of my head. I knew what they were thinking. It wasn't hard to figure out.
"What's she doing with him?"
"Why was he holding her hand?"
"What made him bring her?"
"Why didn't he make her return with the boy?"
However, I didn't bring this up to Tsu'tey, because the closer we got to our destination, the angrier he started to look. His lips formed a tight frown, and his eyes were mere slits as his body tensed underneath my hands. I was still in shock though. I didn't really know how to feel about what was going on, but as we broke through the forest's edge, that all changed.
The moment my eyes met the familiar site of the barren, scalped ground; the moment my eyes saw the fire burning hot and bright, as smoke rapidly rolled up high into the air, I knew. Deep down I began to feel the anger, the betrayal. Deep down I felt the sadness, and the guilt. Even now as I felt the hot tears pouring from the corner of my eyes, and the hand placed over my mouth as I tried to cover a sob, I felt hatred. The same hatred the Na'vi warriors were all feeling at this very moment.
Tsu'tey, who sat in front of me, was trying to hold it all in, and keep calm. However you could tell all he wanted to do was scream out in anger; probably even knock off a few of the soldiers in the distances with the borrowed bow from young boy who had given up the direhorse for him.
Scanning the destruction the RDA had caused, I noticed two familiar people huddled at the forests edge together. Jake was holding Neytiri, as she cried for the scene that lied before her eyes. Knowing Jake hadn't been awake long enough to get here in time to see this, my eyes narrowed on him. He and Neytiri hadn't returned to Home-tree last night, much like Tsu'tey and I.
As my hand tightened on Tsu'tey's waist from the anger at this new discovery he turned his head in the direction mine faced. The moment his eyes landed on them, I knew that he understood what was going through my mind. Jake and Neytiri had not stayed out here because they had just fallen asleep. They had stayed out here because of the same reason we had.
Forcing back his emotions the best he could, which wasn't very good, he turned the direhorse around and began to head back to the village.
I dared not speak to him the whole ride back, or even when we arrived. However he didn't leave my side. From the moment I jumped off the direhorse, and all the way though the gathering crowd he stayed beside me. Yet the moment he saw Grace he took my hand and pulled me over to her.
"What's going on? What has happened," Grace questioned frantically as she looked at me with fear.
"Stay here," Tsu'tey ordered me while ignoring Grace's question, before he turned and made his way forward to go speak with Eytukan and Mo'at.
"Everybody is saying that there are bulldozers tearing down the…"
"It's true," I whispered cutting her off as I continued to watch Tsu'tey speak with the two.
"What," Grace asked astonished as I finally turned to her and mumbled, "It's true." Letting it sink for a moment, I then went on to say, "Tsu'tey and I saw it ourselves. The RDA is out there right now tearing down the jungle, and heading this way."
"Oh god," she said still in disbelief.
"Grace, everything…all of it… they destroyed all of them," I whispered as I choked back a sob. Taking me into her arms others began to crowd around me as questions flew. They had heard, and they wanted to know more; however Eytukan silenced them as went on to explain what had happened himself. Pulling away from Grace's arms, I barely heard him say they were readying for battle, before the Na'vi war cries erupted through the room. Warriors grunted and yipped from up front, as Eytukan went on to say, "Tsu'tey will lead the war party."
Cheers erupted from the crowd, as Tsu'tey riled them up while swing his bow high in the air above him. Pulling away from me immediately, Grace made her way through the crowd to front as I followed. "Stop please,"Grace begged making some of the Na'vi settle down, while she went on to say, "This will only make it worse." She was right too, however because she was not really apart of the people this did not go for her well. Tsu'tey, angry at her outburst and still upset from what he had seen earlier, thought to be an idiot, and bring it up.
"You do not speak here," he said pointedly as he waved his bow at her. Coming to stand beside her my eyes narrowed on him as I spoke out, "But I do, and what she speaks is true. All you will do, by doing this, is anger them. You can not go up against them Tsu'tey they will kill you, and everyone else out of revenge if you hurt even one of them. I know them, I've been apart of them for most of my life. Doing this will only bring a massacre." Hissing at me for my outburst at him as well, he went on to say, "Then we will strike them in the heart." Those words were definitely a crowd pleaser.
Turning to Grace I gave her a look as if I was saying; 'I gave it my best shot.' Then I turned my gaze to look over the riled up crowd. Spotting two familiar figures just entering into the mess I breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe now we might be able to get some reasoning.
"Tsu'tey! Don't do this," Jake called out over the Na'vi's cries. The crowd became silent as Tsu'tey's anger remained. Striding over to my brother he absentmindedly placed his bow and arrows into the hands of Atan'eko.
"Listen. Brother…"
"YOU!"
Just like that Tsu'tey was shoving Jake to the ground. Rushing forward I began to help Neytiri pull him back with the best of my strength. Keeping my hands upon his arm as Neytiri and I let him calm, I softly whispered calming words too him, but it did no good. He was angry with Jake for speaking out against him. He was angry at him for just being here for that matter. Tsu'tey had never liked Jake, but what he spoke next even surprised me.
"You mated with this woman?"
"Oh shit," I heard Grace speak from two feet behind me. As the shock slipped into me that this was why he was angry with him, I let my hands drop from his arms as my own anger began to build. It was then that Jake noticed the look on my face, and realized what had happened between us as well.
Noticing a figure walk forward I looked up and found Mo'at standing before Neytiri asking sternly, "Is this true?"
Without skipping a beat, Neytiri replied proudly, "We are mated before Eywa. It is done." Hearing this though didn't help the situation. Breathing in deeply, with hurt in his eyes, Tsu'tey turned and began walking away; then again, that was until Jake spoke up once more, "Brother, please. Do not attack the sky people. Many Omaticaya will die if you do." Slowly turning, with his hand on the hilt of his knife, I saw it coming before he even spoke the words.
"You are not MY BROTHER!"
Then with a swift move he pulled out his knife and lunged at Jake, bringing me back into the real world and out my shock. I watched in horror as Jake simply took hold of his arm and swung him to the ground.
As he fell into a nearby Na'vi, he didn't stay down for long as he jumped back up and readied himself for another attack. However Jake was just as angry now as he too pulled his knife and stood ready, "AND I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY!"
Trying to rush forward to stop this madness, I found both Neytiri and I were stopped by Eytukan who was trying to keep order during all of this. Growling in anger I split away from Neytiri to see if maybe by splitting up one of us could get in there, but Mo'at was right there holding me back. Turning my eyes back on Jake, I watched in fear for both men, who meant more to me that life it's self, battle it out.
Throwing down his knife, Jake went on to say, "The enemy is out there, and they are very powerful!"
"Listen to him, Tsu'tey. He knows what he's saying," I spoke out, but he would not listen as he kept his narrowed eyes on my brother's.
"I can talk to them," Jake tried to reason, but even in my mind I knew it wouldn't help. Sensing this as well, Tsu'tey cried out angrily as he came at Jake again, "NO MORE TALK!" Jake moved out of the way in time, but as he turned so did Tsu'tey as he swung his knife. Catching Jake above his right shoulder, both Neytiri and I cried out, "TSU'TEY," as if we were reprimanding a dog, or a pet. However Tsu'tey wasn't some misbehaving 'pet.' He was an angry warrior. Then again, it was all we could do though as we were held back from the fight.
Coming back up from his crouched position from where he landed, Tsu'tey readied for another blow. However Jake caught his shoulder with this right hand, and reared back with his left before landing a heavy blow to Tsu'tey's right cheek. Then, not finished with him, Jake raised his leg and kneed him in the stomach, before rearing back and giving one finally blow to his left temple.
Just like that, Jake proved what Na'vi was the better fighter, as Tsu'tey fell to the dirt beneath him. Swiftly sitting back up as he wiped his lip, he turned his furious gaze upon my brother. I dared not reach a hand out to him as I stood beside Mo'at. Instead I listened as Jake voiced to the crowd, "I am Omaticaya. I am one of you, and I have the right to speak."
Tsu'tey smoothly stood up as he fiercely wiped the blood that had poured from his nose away from his lips. Keeping his eyes trained on my brother he didn't make another move to attack him, instead he let him speak reluctantly.
"I have something to say…" turning his eyes on Neytiri and me, he finished, "…to all of you." I felt my chest tighten as the memory of him and Quaritch surfaced in my mind. Is that what he meant? Was he going to tell everyone the truth, about him… about us? Closing his eyes he took a deep breath. Calmly opening them, he centered them on Neytiri as he mumbled, "The words are like stones in my heart."
Norm's P.O.V.
After everyone had linked, I went to work on the things Grace had left for me. Trudy had flown back early this morning so there wasn't much to do other than that. However, as I was working on one of the many plants Grace wanted me to identify, I noticed a change in the sounds around me. The wind sounded like it was picking up, much like the same way it sounded right before Trudy would land her helicopter.
Feeling a surge of happiness that she had arrived back early I jumped up from what I was doing and headed to the window. Yet as I looked out I felt my blood run cold. It was not Trudy who had returned.
Instead I watched as the RDA made their way out of the helicopter, and up to the shack. Freaking out I immediately raced to the door, but it was too late. Quaritch was already storming into the trailer as his predator-like eyes scanned the rooms for the link beds. I knew there was something going on, and there was going to be trouble from that very moment.
Rushing forward I tried to stop him, reason with him at least, "Sir, I'm sorry. No, no, no! Hold on! You can't interrupt a link in progress!" However this angry fool wasn't having any of it as he fiercely shoved me into the wall behind. Then storming past I didn't have much time to yell out, "IT'S VERY DANGEROUS," before his soldiers came storming in through the door behind me. Trying to fight back, they had me on the floor within mere minutes as Quaritch made his way forward toward the link beds. Pressing the red button on Grace's first he preceded on heading over to Jake's.
"WAIT," I cried out as I tried to stand up, but the soldier was right there holding me down ordering, "Stay down sir." I knew Mia's was right behind theirs, so at the moment she was safe, however Jake and Grace were in danger. Maybe seeing them go down she'd realize that something was wrong and get them and herself out of harms way in time.
Pressing Jake's button next I heard the sound of the machine go down right before I heard the hatch open and Jake's voice yell out angrily, "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN MIND?"
"You crossed the line," was all Quaritch said before I heard skin hit skin, "Wheel this meat out of here." Wainfleet, standing behind Quaritch, came forward and snapped cuffs onto Jake's wrists right as Grace called out from her now open link bed, "Jake! What the hell is going on here?"
Instead of answering her question, Quaritch began to search, and I knew exactly whom he was searching for. Struggling against my bonds and the grip the other soldier's hand on me, he made his way toward us. Without even asking he followed the sound of the running machine.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT! SHE MIGHT BE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION," I yelled out angrily as he turned around and smiled, "Good, one less savage I don't have to worry about." Then, after those words, his hand came smashing down onto the red button.
Tsu'tey's P.O.V
I watched in anger as JakeSully tried to prove himself in front of the people; tried to convince them that the sky people would listen. They would never listen; they never had. They had taken from us for years, and now it was time we fought back. Yet as his words carried over the crowd, the people began to listen, and take what he said to heart.
I watched with anger and disappointment as he turned his eyes upon Neytiri; listening as he told her the words he had to speak were like stones in his heart. I was not angry that he had taken my promised. I was angry that he had done it so thoughtlessly. I was furious that now he could be chief, instead of one who was much more qualified than him. I was not angry because he took Neytiri, I had my woman, but when I had spoken out I knew I had upset her. I could see it in her eyes when I had turned away from them. Yet still she worried for me, even now as I turned to look at her.
However our gaze was suddenly broken as Dr. Augustine's eyes rolled into the back of her head, and she collapsed to the ground in front of us. "GRACE," both Neytiri, and Mia called out as they dropped to their knees immediately to see what had happened. Yet as Mia looked at her, she realized just what had happened; as did I when she looked up at me with fear. Turning her eyes onto her brother, her simple look silently answered his question. Looking between the two I couldn't help, but remember what Mo'at had once told me many moon cycles ago. Twins, or triplets in Mia and Jake's case, would share a bond within side their mother. Triplets were gifted by Eywa, as Mo'at had once explained. Even after birth, some continued to share that bond. So as I looked from Mia to Jake, I couldn't help but wonder if maybe they did unknowingly.
Becoming anxious he started to speak, "Okay. Look…I was sent here to…" but that was all he got out as he eyes rolled into the back of his head right before he collapsed to the ground beneath him. That's when I took my opportunity, as I ran over and pulled him up by the hair on his head. Holding a knife to his throat I spoke out to the crowd, "You see? It is a demon in a false body." Then as I went to cut his throat someone came out of nowhere and jumped onto my back as they flipped us off of him. As we tumbled I righted myself and turned back around, knife in hand, to the person who had dared to attack me. That's where my eyes found a hissing Neytiri, and a steaming Mia. Neytiri had been the one to attack me as she now sat crouching over Jake's body with a knife aimed at me. Mia however stood in front of her as she yelled out angrily, "NEVER THREATEN TO KILL MY ONLY FAMILY IN FRONT OF ME!" Then she came at me with her fist. She landed one blow before I caught her in my arms. The only reason why she had not tried to struggle was because of what had happened to Grace, and Jake, had now just happened to her.
"It looks as if your mate, is a demon in a false body too, Tsu'tey," came a familiar voice as he spoke out from the sidelines. Turning I caught Atan'eko's face, before the crowd became silent. Hearing this Mo'at stomped toward us as she ordered Atan'eko to come forward.
"Is what you say true," Mo'at demanded looking between the two of us as I placed Mia onto the ground carefully.
"I saw them myself last night at the Tree of Voices," Atan'eko blabbed proudly at his findings. He was getting what he wanted; vengeance.
Turning on me, instead of fury in Mo'at eyes, her look was sadden disappointment, "Does he speak true?" Looking between her disappointed expression, to Atan'eko's proud smirk, and from there to Neytiri's shocked look, it was all I could to close my eyes, lower my head, and nod.
Biting her lip, she closed her eyes and sent a prayer to Eywa for her help and guidance. Turning her back on me she walked away. She walked past Neytiri, past Eytukan, before turning around and saying to us, "Take them, and put them where they can rest." With that she left without another word. Looking over at Atan'eko, I found him slowly walking away looking just as happy and amused by all of this as ever.
Forgetting my bow and arrows that he had placed at my feet, I crouched down and moved my hands under Mia's legs, and back, before I lifted her into my arms. Carefully I stood and made my way past Neytiri as she had some nearby warriors help her do the same. The moment our eyes met, any understanding we had before was broken. We had both gone against what we had been taught. We had both fallen for someone we shouldn't have, and we were both going to suffer the consequences now. Even though we both had done the same things, even for the same reasons, whatever thought of reasoning was banished from our mind, because in our own worlds…we had betrayed one another. We had betrayed our people.
Mia's P.O.V
Hearing Jake's words I knew exactly what he meant. He wanted to tell the truth. He wanted them to know who we are, however right as he was about to Grace came crashing down in front of my feet.
"GRACE," both Neytiri and I called out as we dropped to the ground next to her. Looking her over it didn't take long for me to figure out what happened. My lungs froze, as everything in my body numbed over. Looking up at Jake with wide eyes, it didn't take him long to figure out what had happened.
Becoming anxious he started to speak, "Okay. Look…I was sent here to…" but that was all he got as he eyes rolled into the back of his head right before he collapsed to the ground beneath him. That's when Tsu'tey took it as his opportunity to run over and pull him up by the hair on his head. Holding a knife to his throat he spoke out to the crowd, "You see? It is a demon in a false body." If it wasn't worse enough as it was, my blood began to boil at him revealing our secret. Slowly my body lost its numbness, and was instead replaced with anxiousness. The shock on my face turned to anger as my lips formed a thin line. Then after he had spoken those words I watched as he went to cut Jake's throat and that's all it took for Neytiri and I to lunge into action.
Jumping onto his back Neytiri flipped him off as I came to stand in front of my brother hissing and growling angrily, almost daring Tsu'tey to come at me. As the two tumbled onto opposite sides, Neytiri came to crouch over my brother with a knife in hand, while Tsu'tey stood a few feet with his own knife at the ready, but as his eyes met mine, wonder replaced anger, which only fuel the fire burning bright inside of me. No one threatens my family and gets away with it; absolutely no one. I had never stood for it, not even when I was in high school. Any girl or boy who had put my brothers through hell you find me right there cussing them out, or throwing my fist at them. It hadn't happened a lot though, unlike when it came time for them to protect me, but it had happened a couple of times. This time was no different.
"NEVER THREATEN TO KILL MY ONLY FAMILY IN FRONT OF ME," I screamed out angrily before I charged at him while rearing back my fist. As he went to catch me I sidestepped him and landed my fist right at his nose, before suddenly everything went black, and I was being hurled through the bright neon colored tunnel.
When I opened my eyes I was lying in my machine, but something was different. It wasn't making any noise, and from the lack of lights I knew at that moment it had been turned off. What had Norm done? Was there a glitch in the system, but as I opened the hatch, and came face to face with Quaritch, I began to feel that same anger I had toward Tsu'tey, start to boil just for this man before me.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO? ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE," I screamed angrily as I stood and went to punch him, but unlike my Na'vi body, this one was feeble, and because it was feeble Quaritch managed to grab my wrist and twist it. My body turned following the movement, and even though I knew it was only going to be sprain it still hurt like hell as I yelled out from the pain.
"You're under my rules girly, so raise your voice one more time to me and I won't hesitate to break your arm," Quaritch warned me before letting go, however that wasn't the end off it as I turned my gaze on Norm. He must have seen the angry determination in my eyes, but before he could warn me I twisted, raised my leg, and kicked Quaritch right in his lower back. This brought him off of balance enough to piss him off. Turning on me, I didn't have time to get away before he pulled his fist back in one lightning fast move, and brought it forward right into my left eye. Just from impact I felt the world around me slowly start to fade, before I saw nothing but pitch black. However I heard his final words as spoke, "Wainfleet, get her bound, and outta here now!" After that I was gone.
I hope I spiced up this part of the story a bit. I had some trouble writing this chapter though. I guess because I'm more of a drama person than action. Hopefully I'll improve really soon. Anyway I bet you all are hating Atan'eko right now aren't you. Trust me when I say I am too, and I'm the one that wrote him LOL. Awwwe but you gotta love how Mia stood up for her brother though. My favorite part out of this whole chapter was when Mia kicked Quaritch. I just had to put something like that in, because I just really hate that guy. Either way, I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll try to get another one up as soon as I can.
Thanks for all the wonderful reviews. I did love hearing from you guys-…Diamond-Rose Sisters… Emmalime… Som Skxawng… and Ryle Culler.
Also, a thanks to those who are either to busy to review, or can't find the review button like me at times LOL. I know you guys out there love the story too, because I look at my stats; so thanks for reading the story and giving me as much encouragement as the reviewers to continue writing.
P.S. I named this chapter after the song that gave me inspiration for this part of the story. The song is 'Hurricane,' by 30 Seconds to Mars feat. Kanye West. If you want go onto YouTube and check out the song, because it's really cool. I think there's an avatar music vid with the song too. (I wish I could make one them. I would so love to make one for this fanfiction story.) Either way thanks for reading guys, you are all wonderful.
