Hey everyone! Sorry for the very long chapter but I didn't have internet and it took awhile to get it where I was. And guess what? I'm in my temporary home and I started my new school. I still have kids stare at me but I'm doing fine. Coyotes are really annoying though. And I promise you that I will not going looking for them. If I got hurt, I know that all of you will be very upset. And I'm rambling again. Sorry. The chapter is kind of short but I tried to keep it within what I usually do. And I tried to keep Tsu'tey not too OOC and in his character so please let me know if I did an okay job on this. Please review and tell me what you think! Epic parts! Enjoy!

~oOo~

My student was a skxawng.

Sar'tan and I ran back to the Home Tree after Celene took off. When we arrived I was there long enough to see Celenesully disappear into the forest. When she turned her head right before she did our eyes met. For a second, everything stood still. In her eyes I saw determination, courage, and strength. But there was also fear, loss, and regret. There was a feeling in my chest and a voice in the back of my mind telling me that my student was in danger. She was saving the life of another and replacing it with her own.

No.

"Celene!" I tried to call after her but she was already gone. The feeling was fear and it was scraping against my spine. The tight feeling in my chest began to grow. I ran over to Mala who was over by Neytiri now and took her by her shoulders. Tears fell freely and I gently shook her to look at me. "Mala, where did Celene go? Did she tell you? Answer me!" I shook her more firmly this time but she gave no answer. "Answer me!" I hissed at her.

"She said that she will be back. She said to be strong." Mala looked up at me with fear filling her eyes. "She is going to die, isn't she? Celene is dead!" She began to cry harder and I gave up.

"Tsu'tey calm down." Neytiri said behind me, taking the small child in her arms. Mala shook her off then ran towards the forest. Her mother held her back but Mala started to scream Celene's name towards the forest like she would reappear. Dus'key started to scream Celene's name now along with all the other children. Even though Celene has only been here a short while she already affected the children. Her not being here, the thought of her dead caused so much pain. Their parents tried to calm them down but they would not stop calling for her. I finally turned to Neytiri but instead of seeing her normal yellow/green eyes I saw only white. They were the same white color I had grown used to seeing. The same white color that was full of joy and happiness whenever they were around the children. The same eyes that would be full of determination whenever the owner was practicing or trying to show me better. The white color faded back to normal and I began to miss that color.

"Do not tell me to calm down! My student is out there, not yours!" I yelled at her.

"We will find her. I will get the other hunters and we will –"

"No! I will go myself." I turned around and stormed off to collect the things I will need when I got and search for her. I went and grabbed medicine, wrappings, a few pieces of fruit, and extra arrows. I placed everything in a small bag that I threw over my shoulder. When I reached for my bow I noticed that someone was standing behind me.

"Tsu'tey?" I looked over my shoulder to see Mo'at.

"Do not stop me." I told her flatly.

"I am not." She was quiet again before she spoke. "You should not form attachments like this Tsu'tey or anything else. I came to remind you that you already have a mate."

"I know but you cannot ask me not to care for my student you placed under me. She risked her life for Mala. The children will not stop crying unless she is home or I bring her body back." I told her. I knew from the moment I saw her that she would affect everyone she encounters. Even me. I slung my bow over my back and walked past Mo'at.

"Celene Augustine."

"What?" I asked her.

"Her real name is Celene Augustine. Jakesully told me when he asked if Grace Augustine could come and be allowed back in. She is the daughter of the mother who couldn't protect Sylwanin. Do you still care for you student now that I have told you this?" the tight feeling appeared in my stomach but it wasn't fear. Thoughts were spinning in my head and I saw two faces. But one of them stood out the most because I knew that the one face was still alive.

"Yes." Then I left. When I got to the tree line I didn't hesitate in tracking her footprints. I followed her footsteps and the Thanator for a while. Some went in different patterns, trying to throw the attacker off but still I followed. But then….the Thanator stopped chasing Celene. I stopped….examined the tracks again and found that a direhorse had jumped in; Celene's footprints were long gone. I sat down on a root to think. All the things I could think of sounded wrong. This didn't make any sense. First Celene's footprint where here and now they're not. I looked up to see that the day was setting and I didn't have much time left. I reached a dead end.

"Eywa if you can hear me please. Help me find my student." I placed my face in my hands and closed my eyes. "Help me find Celene." I whispered to her.

Whack!

"Ow!" I looked up to see whatever wacked me in the back of my head. When I did I found a white prolemuris looking down at me, tossing a nut up. "Go away. I have no time for you." I turned around. Then I felt another thing whack me in the back of the head again. I stood up and looked at it. It was still in the same spot but this time it had a smirk on its face.

Smirking? When you animals smirk?

"What do you want?" I cannot believe that I am actually talking to it. The prolemuris smiled and jumped down next to the tracks where the Thanator was chasing the direhorse. It pointed to it and started to jump up and down. "You want me to follow these tracks?" I asked it. The prolemuris nodded and began to follow the tracks. "I guess that is a yes." I grabbed my bow I placed next to me and began to follow it. I didn't know what made me follow the prolemuris but I had no choice. If this creature knew where Celene is then I had nothing to lose. But if it was just taking somewhere then I would be losing time. I hope I can find her.

~oOo~

I knew this was a bad idea to follow this thing. The prolemuris was getting me nowhere. I've been following this thing around and there has been no sign of Celene anywhere. The tracks keep going and going but I still haven't found her.

Whack! Did I mention that, that thing loves to throw things at me?

"Stop throwing things at me!" I yelled at the thing but I got thrown another thing at me. This time when I looked at the thing it was jumping up and down and pointing to the cliff ahead of us.

No.

I ran ahead of the thing and continued till I reached the cliff. I reached all around but I saw nothing. Only the footprints of the two remained were that of the direhorse and the Thanator.

"Celene! Celene can you hear me?" I called for her but there was no answer. "Celene?" I tried calling again but again there was no answer. I quickly turned around and caught a nut that was about to hit me in the back of the head. I looked to see the prolemuris pointing over to something. I heard a groan then ran over to it. I moved the bush out of the way to see they person I thought I'd never see again. "Celene." I cradled her in my arms and gently shook her. "Celene wake up. Open your eyes and look at me." When she didn't answer, move, or even make a sound I knew something was wrong. I looked up at the sky to see that it was getting dark. I need to get somewhere safe before the sun sets.

Whack

I was really going to kill that thing. I turned around and the prolemuris was still there. It moved its hands like it wanted me to follow it. Again. And who am I to judge this thing. I quickly picked up Celene and followed the thing.

We arrived at a cave that was not that far from where I found Celene. I laid her down and started to check for any injures but I found none. I shook her again but she didn't move or make any sound at all.

"Celene wake up. Open your eyes and look at me, you have to wake up. Celene!" I placed my hand on her forehead but quickly pulled back. She was cold. Really cold. I took her in my arms and drew her close to me. I had to keep her warm without a fire to give us away in case the Thanator was around. "Please wake up." I whispered in her ear but she was getting colder.

Night fell and still Celene hasn't woken up. The prolemuris was still here and to me, it looked like it was scared for Celene too. It sat next to her while I kept an eye on the entrance. Every time I look back I couldn't help but feel a tight knot form in my chest. In the back of my mind I know a way to see if she was okay but that was for mates only. I know my place but….Celene. There's something about her that I can't my eyes off. She impresses me with her determination and her love to laugh but she was silly and childish. The children were easily taken with her along with a few others but when I heard Sar'tan talking about her I got this feeling….why am I feeling this around her and why do I….Dear Eywa I hate this feeling! I'm promised to another and I feel something for this Dreamwalker!

Whack

"If you hit me with another thing I will –" I turned around but all my eyes saw was Celene gasping for air and shaking. "Celene!" I took her in my arms but she wouldn't stop shaking. I kept calling her name but she wouldn't respond. I knew only one way I had to find out what was going on and I can't believe I was going to do this. I had to save my student….

I took my queue and connected it with Celene's….

Every memory Celene had flashed through my mind. That's when I saw, not Na'vi people, but Sky people. Celene was a sky person but there was pain. So much pain and I watched as a small child was shun for what she was. Her powers were not under control but I saw an old woman teach my student how to control. I saw my student smile whenever she got something right or whenever the woman patted her on the back. My student started to grow and I noticed how beautiful she turned out. I watched as she learned our language and studied things about us. She was smart, determined, caring, brave, and deeply involved in what she believed in. Then I saw what she saw when she came here. A man was courting with her and that made me mad. I saw how happy her mother was and the friends she had. They didn't care what she was, they loved her for it. And when she met us….her whole life changed. The children made her feel welcome and this was her new family. And me…so many feelings for me. She felt the same way I felt about her and our emotions mixed. We mixed together….we're bonded.

For life.

"Celene. Celene wake up. Wake up and show me your eyes." I whispered in her ear.

"Tsu'tey…" she muttered very so quietly. I looked down to see her eyes slowly open. I detached our bond, already missing the feeling and yet feeling guilty I did such a thing. Celene could never choose a mate for herself and I disobeyed tradition. But it was too late to do anything.

"I'm here Celene. I'm here." I patted down her hair and held her tightly against my chest. Her breathing returned to normal and I could fully see the color of her eyes looking at mine.

"Tsu'tey….where am I?" Celene asked me.

"In a cave not far from where I found you." I told her. "If you do anything like that again I'll kill you myself." I chuckled and so did she. Her smile was faint but it was her smile.

"Can I sit up?" she asked me. I nodded and slowly sat her up. She rubbed her eyes and looked next to her. Her eyes widened when she saw the prolemuris sitting next to her with a smile. "Not you. You're next?" she asked it. The prolemuris nodded then went towards the entrance of the cave. Celene turned back towards me and patted me on my head. "Thank you for coming after me. You really didn't have to but it was thoughtful that you did." I growled and took a hold of her by her shoulders.

"You're my student! All the children were crying because they saw you disappear into the forest with a Thanator after you. I came after you because you're my student. You're my responsibility." I told her. Her eyes narrowed and she staggered to get up.

"So I'm just a student to you?" I tried to help her but she slapped my hands away. "I can do it. You're student is strong enough to stand on her own." she said harshly. I guess that was the wrong choice of words to use.

"I didn't…..I'm sorry." Celene stopped and gave me a look like she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "You're more than a student to me."

"A friend?" she asked with a slight smile.

"Yes. A friend." At least that will get me some time to come up with a way to tell her the truth. Oh Eywa, why did I do such a thing?

"Fine. A friend. Now help me back to Home Tree. I have little children who need cheering up." I could tell there was laughter in her voice as she leaned most of her weight against me. I took her arm and placed it around my neck as I took a hold of her waist.

"Yes. Let's go home." I told her with laughter in my voice as well. I looked over my shoulder at the prolemuris who still sat on the ground. "You too." The thing smiled again then ran ahead of us. Something deep down knew Celene was keeping something from me but I learned too much about her already. When she is ready to tell me everything, that's when I'll tell her the truth. I just hope things will go smoothly from here on out.

~oOo~

How was it? Tell me the god honest truth. If it's bad I will rewrite this chapter as something different and try again. Did I get Tsu'tey's character right or did I make him OOC? Please let me know! I'm really sorry if it turned out wrong. I swear I will do it over if it really is that bad! So click the button and let me know!
