I'm back everyone and guess what? I got the extended addition of Avatar! YAY! Now I'll be able to use the extended scenes in the story now. A quick update because I felt bad for leaving all of you faithful readers hanging. So I made this chapter kind of like of like a filler but the end is a cliffhanger. Hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except my OC's.

Warning: Bulling for this is a flashback of Celene's past.

oOo

When I was little I remember growing up without a father. It was just my mom, my grandmother, and me living in a three room house on the Second Level of Earth. We weren't rich but we were able to live there, thank to my mom. Anywhere else below the three levels is worse than anything you can imagine. Crime is at almost half of the world troubles, oxygen is scarce to those who can't afford to buy it, and money…is the only thing people care about. Preserving the human way of life is nothing but a myth now and the only thing they really try to change is how far you can get done before you die. My grandmother and mother tried to make a change but it seemed to me that it was worth nothing. I watched from young eyes as the world began to die slowly. I wanted a change even though I was different from other humans. When my grandmother explained to me what I could do I saw myself as a freak. I wanted nothing more to be the same as everyone else but a few short years later I realized that my difference was just what Earth needed. They needed a hope…

"Grandma, why do the animals want me to help them?" I asked my grandmother after we came home from the zoo early. When we came to the plant eaters the voices in my mind were so loud that I almost passed out. My grandma had to quiet the voices and take me home.

"The world is dying Celene. The animals cry out to those that will listen, and you Celene, just happen to have a gift to hearing them. Your life will be full of obstacles that you must overcome." My grandma came outside into our big garden with a try in her hands, my cat Jay following right behind her. On the tray was her homemade tea, small cupcakes, and a bowl of milk for Jay.

"Why was I born with this? I never wanted them and all the kids make fun of me at high school. I'm a freak." I said refusing the tea cup she handed out to me. She placed the cup down and sat in the chair next to me.

"You are not a freak. You are a human with abilities that people would give anything to have. You are special, you are unique, you are Celene Augustine and you are my granddaughter. You are the kind of person that everyone will look up to one day. You'll show people that there is a life worth fighting for and you'll give them hope. Never doubt yourself Celene for there came a time when you have to look deep inside to find the answer your looking for. " She said to me. I turned to look at her, her eyes held those words she just said. She was right and I was acting like a baby. I wiped the tears that had fallen from my eyes and began to drink the tea she made.

"How many more years till I get to see mom?" my mom had left for Pandora a year ago and I still hadn't heard anything from the ship or her.

"Four more years Celene and until then you just have to wait and just hope your mother made the trip, which I'm sure she did." My grandmother said and took another sip of her tea.

The next day when I went to school I had one of the worse days of the month. It started when they were sold out of breakfast and the lunch aid didn't even bother to check to see if they had another. Then during my AP science class I had my beakers break and acid spilled on my book bag. Then after school…..

"Hey freak!" I turned around and met face to face with a rock the size of my small fist. I yelled at the contact and placed my hand where I felt the blood run from my face. I saw at least five of the high school kids coming towards me with smirks on their faces, predators ready for the kill of their prey.

"Look what we have here. Our little freak has come to play." One of the older one's spoke. I pressed hard against the wound, trying to stop the blood but my head hurts so bad that I couldn't think straight.

"Aww what's the matter freak? Got a headache?" another one asked in a mocking tone. I felt a hand grab my hair and drag me to my feet. "Let me help you with that." Then there was another hit to my head only I was released to roll back towards the tree that was behind me.

"Come on freak get up! Show us those freaky powers of yours." I looked up at them, my voice was lost and I could no longer stand up.

I screamed with everything I could before the world went black….

I woke to someone rocking me slowly as the wind gently blew past me. Soft whispers sang comforting words in my ears; a calming tune hushed me to sleep. I felt safe and secure in whosever arms I was in. I wanted to stay here forever….

"Celene wake up, it's time to go home." My grandmothers' voice made me open my eyes to find her. That's when I realized that the tree I was trapped between was holding me like a child. The branches held me softly, rocking as gently as it could. The leaves were soft, the voice was silenced, and the pain from the beating came back harder than before.

"Grandma, how did I get up here?" I called down to her.

"It seems that when you were in extreme danger nature must've heard your cry for help. After they took care of your attackers," my grandmother kicked something that groaned that when I noticed the bodies of the high school students that had attacked me were now on the ground out cold. "they picked you up and tried to make you as comfortable as possible until I arrived."

"How do I get down?"

"Just tell it too. And don't forget to say thank you. If it wasn't for this tree you would've been in worse shape than you are now." She told me. I whispered to the tree to put me down and how I was alright now. The tree lowered me slowly to the ground before shaking its leaves then going still. "I told you were special. Now you have proof. Come, let's go home." She took my hand and led me away from the parking lot of the school. I looked back at the tree and inside my heart I felt sadness. I wanted to go back and rest under the shade, feel the wind against my skin, listen to the branches and leaves talked in my ear, and feel the arms surround me again. I wanted that feeling. I wanted it so much…

The feeling of belonging there.

Celene….

Celene wake up….

Celene darling follow my voice….

I was dreaming again. I was in a forest and I was running. I wasn't running from something I was running towards something. A child's laughter came from everywhere and I tried to follow it. Everywhere I turned the laughing would be there….

Until I found the little girl.

She was playing with Pandora's version of Earths' butterfly. Her white hair fell freely around her shoulders; white eyes were captivated by the swirls of the insect. But the child wasn't human and she wasn't Na'vi either…she was both. She had the ears of the Na'vi but her hands and feet each had five digits. She skin was the mixture of both blue and pale skin. She was a mix of both worlds. Perfection in anyone's eyes who looked upon her.

"Oh, hello, I didn't see you there." The girl turned towards me with a smile on her face. "Are you lost?" she asked me.

"No, I'm looking for someone actually. Maybe you could help me." I told her. The little girl kept smiling at me, her ways of saying continue. "I don't know her name but she's Eywa's daughter. Do you know where she is?" I asked her. Her smile never faltered but she did turn and started to walk away.

"Follow me." Then the girl took off.

"Hey!" I ran after her, trying to keep up with her but that little girl can run. All I had to follow was the white hair that trailed behind her. She knew something and I need her to tell me. Lately things were more confusing than ever before. All I wanted was answers and it seems to me that the one's that I'm looking for are further away than I thought.

"Come find me!" the girls voice called ahead. I quickened my pace, remembering what Sara'bas taught me. As I turned the corner, something stopped me. I looked down to see that I was standing on an edge, one more step and I would be falling.

Celene….

I turned around to find nobody there. All there was is the forest I had just ran through. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it was going to jump right out of my chest.

Celene wake up….

Celenesully you need to open your eyes…..

The voice mad my head hurt so badly but underneath all the pain I could feel a….a connection to the voice calling me. I could feel all the emotions the voice was carrying. Worry, concern, anxious, tired, and love. There was love there, just a small amount but it was just enough for me to notice. I backed away from the edge and walked back into the forest to follow the voice that was calling me.

Celene wake up! Please open your eyes…..

Hear me!

Listen to my voice….

Come back to me….
