Hey everyone and welcome back to another chapter! After my long vacation I am back and ready than ever! I have a request if anyone is able to take it on. I want a Na'vi picture of Celene so I can show everyone and I would love for everyone else to see it. So, without any more delay I give you a new chapter. I hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except my Oc's and the Masters. Everything else does not belong to me.

"Celene you man taker!" The Na'vi woman screamed as she came right at me with the two other Na'vi women behind her. The one that is screaming at me is at least a head taller than me with common black hair, dark green eyes, and she wore warriors clothes with daggers attached to her thighs. "How dare you take my Sar'tan away from me!" She screamed. I backed away from her and placed my hands in front of me as a of sign surrender.

"What are you talking about? I don't even know you!" I said to her.

"My name is Saige. Sar'tan was supposed to me my mate! I planned on asking him but he plans on asking you. Mo'at has already agreed. How could you take him from me!" Saige said.

"I don't want Saige. I don't even like him. I don't want a mate. I have enough going on in my life and a mate is not going to be part of it for some time." I said to her. Saige stepped back a little ways from me then shook her head.

"But he has all ready asked…you must accept." Saige muttered then fell to her knees. So we're stuck. It was quite for a while before one of Saige's friends spoke up.

"She can challenge you!"

"What? What do you mean challenge? I've never heard of a challenge like this." I said to her.

"That's because it's not common for someone to challenge for a mate. Usually, the pair asks together with fewer objections. Since you haven't accepted you can challenge in front of Sar'tan." She spoke. I smiled and grabbed Saige's shoulders.

"You and I fight, well…fake fight, you win and Sar'tan becomes your mate. He sees just how beautiful and strong you are and I'm sure he'll be impressed!" My stomach fluttered at the plan. Either it works or it fails horribly and I wind up as Sar'tan's mate, eww. Saige nodded and we came up with the plan. I will go to Sar'tan, pretending not have heard a word of his asking, and when he tells me whatever Saige will come and challenge me. We fight, she wins, I'm free, and she get's the man of her dreams! Perfect plan!

Once the plan was set the three Na'vi women left, leaving me with Junko to practice more on whatever he wants me to do. Lately, I've been climbing trees, jumping, flips, jumps, and everything that has to do with Prolemuris. He said that by the end of tomorrow I should be ready for my test and on to my next teacher. I'm making great time.

"I think you might have your test early." Junko said when I jumped down from the tree.

"Do you really think so? I mean, acrobatics are second nature to me but do you really think that I'm ready?" I asked him. Junko gave me a monkey look smile then climbed up on my shoulder.

"I wouldn't doubt it for a second. Now, you have a plan about to be in action. Go get them!" Junko cheered then took off into the trees of Pandora. I shook my head then made my way towards Home Tree. Some of the children said hi to me as I walked by and so did some adults that I've gotten to know. I walked up the winding trunks that led to the upper sections. A little ways away I saw Sar'tan, Mo'at, and Tsu'tey standing together and talking. Saige and her friends were also standing a ways away talking to themselves. When they saw me they nodded and I nodded back then started to approach Sar'tan.

"Celene! I was about to come looking for you. I have something to ask." The light in Sar'tan's eyes shone brightly. Deep down I feel a bit guilty that I have to crush his heart but he's not the one for me. He'll be a lot happier with Saige as his mate. I have things I have to do…

"What?" I asked oblivious to his question.

"Will you be my mate?" Sar'tan took my hands in his then held them over his heart. Way to make me feel even guiltier.

"You want me to be your mate?" I still can't believe that this is even true….

"No! I challenge Celene for Sar'tan's mate!" Saige shouted then marched over to us. Sar'tan pulled me behind him and hissed.

"No, I won't allow you to come between Celene and I! She's mine!" He hissed. I shook my head and stepped forward.

"I'm not that trained as you but I accept the challenge." I said with a smirk. Saige met me in the middle of the area and already we've drawn quite a crowd. We circled each other and in the corner of my eye I can see Sar'tan smiling at me and Tsu'tey looking just as unpleased as before. In the back of my head and heart there is this lonely pain. The kind I felt when my mom left for Pandora all those years ago. But this….this felt much deeper, more personal.

Next thing in knew I was on my back, thrown halfway across the area. I guess Saige started while I was in my thoughts. Perfect timing in her case but for me it hurt like shit. I got to my feet and managed to duck and doge out of her way. She landed a few punches and I landed a few punches but hers seem a lot more personal. We fought for what seemed like hours but it was only a few minutes. I guess I need more training with Tsu'tey now…

Then I was on the floor…

"Will you surrender?" Saige hissed.

"I will…I will!" Saige got off me and marched towards Mo'at. I rubbed my arms and reminded on my knees while they talked. Saige's friends came over and said thank you to me then went over to Saige herself who was standing next to Sar'tan. He didn't even bother to look at me and that hurt.

"You're a fool." I looked up to see Tsu'tey staring at me. I glared at him and got to my feet. When I did I turned and walked away. Behind me I could hear Tsu'tey walking behind me so when we were along in a secluded place where no one could see us did I turn around to face him.

He then kissed me…

His lips were warm and hard against mind. Harsh and demanding it felt so good to have them against mine. His hands pulled me against him, our bodies meeting contact in a blaze of heat. My arms wrap around his neck and tangle my fingers in his hair. Those lips of his tasted so good I couldn't help but let loose a small moan. The feeling in my heart was replaced with joy, happiness, and a warm feeling. When his lips left mine to travel down I couldn't help but grip those strong shoulders of his.

"Tsu'tey…" He didn't respond and continued to kiss and suck at my neck. "Tsu'tey….stop…we need to….stop." He didn't listen but he did realize my neck to place another hot harsh kiss on my lips. It made my knees feel weak but this felt wrong no matter how good it felt. I took a good hold of his shoulders and shoved him away, then slapped him across the face. "Tsu'tey what the hell was that all about?" Tsu'tey stood there stunned with his hand in the cheek were I had slapped him. He opened his mouth to say something but instead a scream was replaced. We both turned out heads and ran towards where there was a large group crowding around. "What's happening?" I asked one of the Na'vi people.

"Mala's up there!" The Na'vi woman next to me pointed up to where there was a small Na'vi child crawling across a branch towards a purple flower. Junko was sitting next to it but Mala appears to not see Junko. Junko spies me and smiles. Oh shit…this can't be my test! Junko nodded then walks over to Mala then gives her a light tap. She falls but catches herself, screaming. Why you little….

I pushed people out of my way and started to climb the outside if Home Tree without anything to catch me if I fall. They called me back but I continued to climb. I could feel my body start to feel lighter and more flexible as I climbed. I grabbed the easiest things that came naturally to me and quickly made my way up towards Mala. I could feel my body stretching in till I looked down at my small hand. I had turned into a Prolemuris. When I reached the branch I locked my legs around the branch and turned back into my Na'vi self.

"Celene! Help me!" Mala called. I reached out for her hand but the wind was a bit strong. Mala reached across and our fingers lightly touch.

"Jump! Jump towards me and I'll catch you!" I called. Mala nodded then took a deep breath. Then she jumped towards me. My knees locked around the branch as my arms embraced he small body against mine. She clung to me tightly as I slowly made my way down towards everyone. When we were safely on the ground Mala looked at me and smiled.

"Thank you for saving me again. I seem to get in all sorts of trouble." Mala said and gave me a hug. What was weird for me is that she didn't question my transformation into a Prolemuris. None of them did. Once everyone was settled I went and started to look for Jake, ignoring Tsu'tey at all costs after what had happened between us in the small enclosed area.

When I did found Jake he was practicing with his bow a few ways away from Home Tree. When I approached him he turned and gave me a smile.

"Hey Celene, how's life as a Na'vi? We haven't talked much since we started training with different teachers." Jake said. When I didn't say anything he placed his bow on his back and came closer towards me. "Celene is something wrong?"

"We need to talk Jake. It's about what you know with Selfridge and Quaritch about bulldozing Home Tree down?" Jake's face fell as he faced me. This was now or never.
