When we got to Hells Gate I immediately noticed the body's of the humans killed during the revolt at Hells Gate being burned in a pile. I let my anger fuel my

goal to get the human's off Pandora "I am no longer one of them. I am Jake Sully of the Omanticia, Turuk Makto, I am a Navi, and soon to be Olo'aktan of

the Omanticia clan. I will never let humans hurt my home or clan not as long as I breath." I thought to myself. As I told Tsu'tay my Turuk to land at the front

gate I yelled to the others "The only people here who are staying are Norm Spellman, Max Petal, and Janet Coman the only other is already at the tree of

souls. they are not to be harmed anyone else though if they try to rebel in any way or try to run I will allow them to be killed for the will not harm our planet

or clan's again. Lets drive them from our land and back to the stars!" the warriors around me hooped their approval. We landed in front of the front gate

when the humans saw me and the others they looked angry. I looked at them with hate at everything they had done. Then Parker recognized me he walked

up to me and said "Why did you betray everything you stood for? You were trained to protect your own species not some blue monkey's and no matter what

you do you will never be one of them. You are human and you will always go back to that every night. It will haunt you knowing you betrayed everything you

had to play something you will never be." While he spoke Parker's face just got redder and redder. After Parker had finished one of the warriors who I had

brought with me started towards Parker to make him pay for the insults he had directed at me I held up a hand to stop him and shook my head at the

warrior he bowed his head in respect which I returned then I turned back to Parker. I pulled my hunting knife from its sheath at my chest and held it to his

neck to make sure he didn't move, I let a growl into my voice as I said "That where you're wrong Parker after you are gone I will no longer be back to a

human body. If you think I'm human like you that is where you are wrong as well. I am Jake Sully of the Omanticia clan, mate to Niterie heiress to lead the

Omanticia. I am a Navi, body, heart, and soul. You listen and you listen well if and human sets foot on Pandora again I will personally come and kill every

single human standing. You go back to your dying world and stay there." I released Parker, I could see he was afraid now knowing I was not longer like them

and never truly was. When Parker tried to argue back I let out a sharp, angry, and intimidating growl and bared my teeth at him. He shut his mouth and

slumped in defeat knowing he had lost. I smiled inwardly to myself. I looked at the warriors surrounding me and said "I'll make sure the humans get on the

Vulkerie all of you my brothers stay around the perimeter of Hells Gate if any Tawtute try to get away kill them." the warriors bowed their heads and

started to span out around the perimeter of Hells Gate. I walked to the humans and called out "Norm Spellman, Max Patel, Anna Sully, and Janet Coman are

the only ones allowed to remain on Pandora the rest of you get on Vulkerie One and leave any who run or come back will be killed on sight and if any

human's set foot on Pandora again they will die as well. Now get moving!" as I ordered tem to get on the Vulkerie a few reached for their guns and aimed

them at me but before any of them could shoot their throats were slit by my hunting knife. Seeing I was not kidding the other human's got on Vulkerie one

that had been stocked with only enough food and supplies for a one way trip to earth for the Vulkerie was meant for space travel. Once all the humans who

had not been chosen to stay were on the Vulkerie and shut inside it took off to the stars and was gone. Soon after I spent the warriors back to the tree of

souls for I had to find my friends and tell them that they were free to stay under the one condition that was set before me and Anna they all agreed

immediately which made me smile at my friends "We have to get back to the tree of souls as quickly as possible. The warriors I stationed left four dire horses

here and flew back on the Ekran's of the warriors I had brought here today we will get back to the tree of souls on the dire horses. I will lead you there I

know the quickest and safest routes. All of you except Norm go out to the dire horses and wait for Norm and I there." They nodded and when they were gone

I turned to Norm who thought his Avatar was dead "Norm I know you think your Avatar is dead but this is not true it was wounded yes but no vital organs

were punctured. You can still do the same thing the rest of us are going to do. I have a favor to ask of you for you are the only one here I trust." I paused

then asked "Norm tonight will be the transfer for me but with my other body here, I need you to return here tonight and get me my human body back to the

tree of souls so all of this can be done. Will you do for me Norm as my friend?" Norm said he would and with that we all left Hells Gate for the tree of souls.

Finally it was time for the mind transfer for me. My sister Anna was still in critical condition which worried me but Niterie assured me that Anna would be fine

it would just take a while for her wounds to heal. As I mentally prepared myself for what was to come in only a few minutes Niterie said "I will not leave your

side ma Jake. I will be the first thing you see when your eyes open." I held Niterie in my arms for the last few minutes before the transfer knowing there was

a chance that I might not come back. When Mo'at said it was time I kissed Niterie passionately trying as hard as I could to convey all my love for her in this

one kiss breaking away I said "I love you Niterie. No matter what happens nothing will ever change that." without another word Mo'at lead me to the front of

the tree of souls I could see my old body was already lying there in a position I had to mimic. Mo'at gave me some type of tonic that put me out instantly and

my human body did not even wake up do to the drought effecting both body's. At first everything was black but then everything turned to a beautiful forest

tat looked a lot like Pandora's just more beautiful and exotic then a beautiful female voice spoke it seemed to come from all around me it was soft as it said

"Jakesully you have protected Pandora and all the clans to the best of your ability against the sky people and what they tried to do to my children and the

lands I made for them. You suffered a great deal at their hands but yet I can tell that you feel sorry for hurting so many of them. Why?" She had asked why I

felt this way and I knew this was my rest for Eywa to see if I was worthy of being a full Navi body, heart, and soul. I answered her truthfully I just hoped she

would be pleased with my answer "Eywa, they may be cruel and trying to kill and take anything they wanted which is wrong for any species in this universe

but that does not stop me from knowing that each and every sky person had a family. It also does not stop me from honoring their death because even

though they were in the wrong all the Navi and human's who died fighting for what they believed and every death whether human or Navi should be

honored because it is the right thing to do. Even though I honor every human and Navi death it will never deter me from my course to protect the clan's and

Pandora itself from any human that tried to destroy it. This is my home now I renounce the human race except the ones who fought to protect the Navi for

they had the same reasons I did. The Omanticia are my family now and I will defend them till my last breath and last drop of blood and my body. That is my

honest answer Eywa and I stand by it." I finished my answer and waited in silence for her verdict then Eywa said "You answered like a true Navi Jakesully

even though you were born human you have always had the soul of a Navi. Before send you back there is someone who wishes to talk to you." I was

confused when I hear two familiar voices behind me one female on male. I spun around to see Grace and Tommy standing before me. Tommy spoke first

"Jake you have done so much here, more than I ever could have. I have never been prouder." "Thank you Tommy I am just sorry you never got you chance

but I am glad you found peace within Eywa." Tommy dipped his head and told me he looked forward to watching who I would become in the years that

followed. "Jake, when you came to Pandora instead of your brother I took you as a threat but after seeing all you have done I am very proud of you. You will

make strong leader for the Omanticia for the Omanticia clan and a good mate for Niterie. Good luck Jake." with that everything faded I could feel my

breathing, hear the Omanticia stop their chanting at Mo'at's order I felt a hand on my cheek and on my chest. I knew it was over. I opened my eyes to start

my life as a true Navi. As she had promised Niterie was the first person I saw and what a beautiful sight she was and she was all mine. I sat and stood up

beside her quickly as I looked out at our clan. Mo'at's voice rang out loud and clear behind me as she said "Let us rejoice for we once again have an Olo'aktan

and the sky people are gone." everyone in the clan's surrounding the tree of souls cheered and hollered in happiness. A great joy filled my heart when Mo'at

told me to address the clan as the new Olo'aktan I turned to the clan and said proudly holding myself with dignity as I had seen from the past clan leader

Niterie's father and said in Navi "As Olo'aktan I swear to you that I will defend this clan and Pandora from any threat until the day my spirit returns to Eywa."

it was a simple speech but a good one. The Omanticia started to cheer. I knew that all would be all right now.

After my mind transfer I buried my human body as Mo'at told me to do. Once that was done I walked among my clan and all the other clan's that had

gathered with us to fight the sky people only two day's before. Through out that time many Navi who were thought to be dead stumbled out of the forest

badly wounded and weak but alive. it shocked me when I wished that Tsu'tay would stumble out of that forest. Even though the man had tormented and

tried to kill me on more than one occasion in the end he fought with me and in the end respected me and I respected him. t pained me to think he would not

be coming back. After walking among the clans for hours getting congratulations and exchanging pleasantries. Everyone was bedding down so I decided to go

see my sister because I had not seen her since returning from Hells Gate earlier in the day. I walked through the healers area watching as they tried to save

those who had come out of the forest in the past few day's since the battle and as I passed each warrior I thanked them for standing by me and for their

sacrifice. Finally I made it to where my sister Anna was in her privet area they had set aside for her because Mo'at took care of Anna personally because of

how bad her injuries had actually been worse than they first appeared but thanks to Mo'at and Niterie tending to her Anna's internal bleeding from the

Thanator were healing fine it would be one or two days before she was up and walking again. When I reached her she was asleep I did not want to wake her

so I just sat next to Anna lightly brushing my hand through her hair as I always did whenever I was trying to comfort her or when I worried over her. I blame

it on my over protective older brother side of myself. I could tell she was having a nightmares I gently shook her to wake her up. Anna woke with a jolt she

looked around in panic then her eyes fell on me, she let out a strangled cry, tried to sit up, and nearly fell. I grabbed her and pulled her into my chest to keep

her from hurting herself but she struggled yelling that none of this was real was too good to be true. I let out a sympathetic growl next to her ear as I said

sternly "Anna stop struggling you'll reopen your wounds. You're ok all of this real, your wounds have just put you in shock. Everything is going to be ok."

Anna stopped struggling in my arm's and started crying into my chest. I rocked Anna in my arms as she cried soothing her "Shh, Shh it's ok, it's ok I'm

here." after a few minutes Anna stopped crying but I still held her we sat like that for what had to have been an hour give or take a few minutes before

Niterie ran in looking frantic. I knew something was wrong my eyes narrowed "What's wrong Niterie?" I asked firmly "Jake you will not believe this come with

me hurry." Niterie was smiling so this was good news so what was happening was not an attach which relaxed my nerves a little but it did not help that I did

not know what not going on. I had already laid Anna down when Niterie had come running in, I turned to Anna my hand on her cheek and said "You get some

rest Anna, I'll come back and se you when I can." before I left I kissed my little sister's forehead then left. I followed Niterie at a quick pace as I asked

"Niterie what is going on?" All Niterie said was a name of a man I never thought we would see again "Tsu'tay" my heart skipped a beat then picked up the

pace until Niterie and I were nearly running towards the huge crowd gathered. I picked my way through the crowd as quickly as I could with Niterie by my

side. When we arrived at the Center of the gathered Navi, I saw Tsu'tay on his back five bullet holes were on his lower rib cage and sternum but he was

breathing which was a blessing I kneeled down beside him, I shook him till his eyes fluttered open when they opened I sighed in relief then said in fluent Navi

"Rest easy Tsu'tay you are safe brother." Tsu'tay looked at me and weakly asked "Are the sky people gone? Is the clan safe?" "Yes the sky people have been

sent back to the starts, and all the clan's and Pandora are safe and so are you." Tsu'tay tried to talk but before he could get a word out I cut in saying "We

will talk later brother right now you need the healers you have been shot multiple times the bullets have to come out or you have an even greater chance of

dying. I am about the only one here who can remove the bullets without causing any further damage and the only way only way to get the bullets out is with

a knife." I paused then asked Tsu'tay "Will you trust me Tsu'tay enough to let me do this, to save your life?" Tsu'tay nodded his head when some warriors

came forward to lift Tsu'tay off the ground and move him I spoke sharply "No do not move him he had already made extra damage by walking here if we

move him it will kill him." Niterie jumped in saying "But Jake if Tsu'tay does not get help he will not make it." "If I do not get those bullets out now they will

cause irreparable damage to him, if we move him without removing the bullets and bandage the wounds immediately before we move him it will kill him. I

have the knowledge to get the bullets out without causing him anymore damage trust me I had to do this exact same thing to myself a few times in my past.

This has to be done or he will have no chance but if I do this it will give him a fighting chance to survive." Niterie nodded I turned to Tsu'tay and said

"Brother, you have heard everything that will give you a chance at surviving, though it will be painful I promise you this no more harm will come to you than

what those bullets have already done." Tsu'tay nodded that he was ready. I pulled my hunting knife out of it sheath at my chest and as I did I reviewed my

training the military had given me on such matters then I carefully dug my knife into the bullet wounds one after the other the whole time I concentrated to

give Tsu'tay as little pain as possible while getting the bullets out without causing any more damage. After many long minutes the last bullet came out of

Tsu'tay left side as I was getting the bullets out I noticed all the bullets had hit bone not vital organ's had been hit or ruptured in any way. After I had the

bandages wrapped tightly around Tsu'tay abdomen and lower chest I told the warriors to take Tsu'tay to the healers but to make sure to be careful lest

Tsu'tay was with the healer's I turned to Mo'at and asked "What happens now, Tsu'tay was trained all his life to be Olo'aktan, I doubt he will relinquish it

easily so I ask again what happens now?" Mo'at replied "Eywa was clear Jakesully you are the Olo'aktan of the Omanticia now and Tsu'tay will have to abide

by the will of Eywa." I dipped my head in understanding then said "I should speak to him first alone once he is recovered enough. He has lost much since the

sky people came and even more once I showed up here. He has lost much on my account and even though we had our differences in the past I have always

held respect for him. Before the battle he seemed to begin to accept my presence here. I just hope that when he finds out what Eywa has decided that he

does not try to kill me though I can hold my own against him I do not want to have to resort that to make him understand." then Niterie piped up I could

hear the anger in her voice "I am going with you Jake you are not going to face him alone you are my mate Jake and you are not going to go to Tsu'tay alone

if he decides to fight you I am going to be by your side just like I was before!" I could tell Niterie was still pretty Pissed off about what happened before the

destruction to Hometree when the RDA had unlinked me forcibly he tried to cut my throat Niterie got him off of me my Navi body before he could and she

guarded me until I relinked right before Hometree was destroyed. It mad e me smile about how protective she was over me just as I was protective over her,

but I knew this was something I had to do alone. I took Niterie aside, cupped her face in my hands, put my forehead to hers, while looking in her eyes , and

quietly enough only she would be able t hear me "My dear Niterie, you have always been protective over me since the day we mated and even a little before

then I feel the same way towards you but this is something I have to do on my own. I know your instinct is to automatically protect as is mine but I need you

to trust me, just as I trust you. I know you can defend yourself and anyone who needs help but I need you to let me do this on my own. I can defend myself

as well as you now because of you." After I finished what I was saying and I kissed her lips gently then pulled away awaiting her answer she spoke as quietly

as I had "Ma Jake it is not you I don't trust. It is Tsu'tay I do not trust not with his hate towards you. If you think you have to this alone I don't like it but I

will abide by it." "Thank you my love." I said with a reassuring smile. I promised myself that I would go and see Tsu'tay tomorrow on account of his wounds

he would not be able to do much damage to me even if he tried to kill me. I walked around the tree of souls checking on each individual clan making sure

each clan was safe and secure. When I was sure everyone was safe I went to where Niterie had made a place for us to sleep it was a very privet secluded

area but not to far just incase anything happened we could get there in a short amount of time. Niterie was already there waiting for me but this was the first

time since we had mated four days ago that we could be alone but this time we would not have to be afraid of the sky people coming to kill us. I was behind

Niterie she had yet to notice I was there usually no one could sneak up on her but she trained me well, well enough that I was the only one who could sneak

up on her and she would be none the wiser. Niterie knew I had fun pranking people in the past now I only reserved my playful side for her an my sister but

mostly for Niterie. I smiled and snuck closer until I was right behind her. I grabbed her shoulders and yelled "Gotcha!" Niterie jumped straight to her feet and

spun around to face me at the same time. when I saw my mates scared face and laughed. Once Niterie got her voice back she asked "Jake why did you do

that, I could have hurt you?!" "You know I have a pranking streak especially with you in privet. Plus you trained me to damn well no one else can sneak up

on, I am the only one who can. You should know that by now." I said and pecked her on the lips. We laid down together my arm was wrapped around her till

my hand rested against the small of her back, her head rested on my chest while her left hand traced the toned muscles on my stomach. It was late in the

night we had yet to fall asleep we had been silent this whole time until Niterie broke the silence "What are you thinking about ma Jake your are never this

quiet unless you're brooding on something so what is wrong?" I chuckled lightly kissing her hair "Nothings wrong I was just thinking how a strong,

independent, smart and beautiful Navi woman like you ever fell in love with a man like me." My mate chuckled to "Well at first I thought you were annoying

and a curse on my life for how you always embarrassed yourself. But as time went by your quirks and charm became sweet and endearing the more I was

around you the more I fell for you. When you were excepted into the Omanticia and I took to you to the tree of voices I knew many fine women existed in

the clan it hurt me to think you would choose another, than you chose me I was actually shocked a little but overjoyed. Even though I knew my family and

Tsu'tay would be angry I did not care anymore. I had found my other half and that was what mattered to me. We choose each other and at that moment I

knew I was breaking tradition but I also knew I would break even more than that if it meant I could stay by your side. That is a woman like me fell for a man

like you." she paused for a moment than asked me the same question and I answered "I fell for you the moment I saw you Niterie I know that now. You were

like no one else I had ever met. You were exotic, strong, headstrong to boot, smart everything I always wanted in a mate but I knew that I had to prove

myself a friend to the Omanticia and you first. I did everything I could even I made mistakes along the way and they were big mistakes I admit but it worked

out in the end, I became one of the clan in full tonight, I got to be with the woman I love, and with everyone's help we rid Pandora of the sky people and now

everything will be ok cause there is will be peace and I have everything I will ever need right here with you and our clan." we stayed up half the night talking

then after a while Niterie fell asleep in my arms. I stayed up all night thinking on how to best telling Tsu'tay everything that had Occurred and how Eywa had

chosen me to lead the Omanticia as Olo'aktan not him without him trying to kill me and forcing me to injure him worse than he already was just to get him to

submit. I listened to the gentle rise and fall of Niterie's breathing which helped calm my racing thoughts. I watched the starry sky slowly lightened into day.

When the clan's started to wake I knew it would be a few hours before Niterie would be a few hours before Niterie would wake because the only ones up this

early ere the early risers and if I knew Tsu'tay he would be awake even though he would be confined to a bed. I kissed Niterie lightly enough it would not

wake her and told her I loved her, though she was asleep she must have understood because she whispered that she love me as well. I smiled and got

untangled from Niterie's arms I made sure she was in a comfortable position then headed to were Tsu'tay was in a privet area in the healers area of the tree

of souls. Before I walked over to Tsu'tay I took a deep breath to steady my nerves and then walked forward to get this over with. I rarely spoke in English

anymore unless I was talking to my sister or one of the Avatars, anyone I spoke completely in Navi which is what I was doing now with Tsu'tay as I asked "I

see you Tsu'tay, how are you?" Tsu'tay did not look at me as he said "The pain I ma not crazy about but thanks to you Jakesully I will live. I hear you are no

longer a dream walker but a full Navi congratulations. You have proven yourself a better leader than I could ever have been given my temper and hatred. I

overheard the others in the clan's talking about Eywa choosing you as Olo'aktan and after seeing all you have done for our clan and Pandora. I feel that if

there is anyone in the clan that can lead better than I can it is your brother." I was taken aback at how quickly Tsu'tay had excepted everything and I had not

had to say a word "Thank you brother I appreciate your praise. I was expecting you to do what you have done since the day Tsahik let me stay to learn, you

either degraded me or tried to kill me. That is what I have come to expect of you even though I have come to respect you I never expected the same in

return." this time Tsu'tay looked at me dead in the eyes as he said "I may not have like you in the beginning but after you showed up here on a Turuk, got

the clans together, and then drove out the sky people from Pandora you have earned my respect and I will follow you loyally just as I had done with Etukan."

After he said this I had an idea that might bring some good "Tsu'tay you trained hard from a young age to be Olo'aktan I on the other hand have no idea on

the finer points of being Olo'aktan are." I paused then asked "Etukan had you helping him so you could learn so will you help me as an advisor of sorts to

help me learn what I need to know." Tsu'tay said he would once he recovered his strength "Before I go brother, there is something you must know. There are

four other dream walkers here three of the you know that Norm, Mat, and Janet they are friends of mine Mo'at told them they could stay if they did the

transfer and they agreed to it so did the fourth dream walker. The last dream walker is more than a friend to me she is my younger sister she is also in

critical condition but like you she will live. But I warn you Tsu'tay they will not be treated the same way you treated me when I first came here. If I find out

that you have treated any of them especially my sister they way you treated me I will personally kick your ass am I understood." "I swear this you now

Jakesully I will personally make sure none of them are mistreated or harmed in anyway especially you sister. I will never let anything happen to her." I was

shocked at his last sentence he it puzzled me but I let it go for now. I bowed my head to Tsu'tay in respect, thanked him and left to see you my sister Anna.

As I walked I thought about how Tsu'tay and my sister were a lot alike and what Tsu'tay had said about my sister. "If he comes on to my little sister in a

romantic way which I doubt will happen but if it does it would take all of my self-control to not go after him,." I thought to myself with a laugh. When I got to

where my sister should have been I found she was not there. I instantly started to worry. After finding her missing, I found the closest healer and asked

where my sister was. The healer said that Anna was given a clean bill of heath and was able to go and said he had sent someone to inform me just minutes

ago. "Do you know where she planned to go?" I asked feeling relieved that Anna was ok but that relief turned into anxiety when the healer said "She said

that before she went to find you, she had to go see Tsu'tay she would not say why." "Thanks you for the information my friend." the healer bowed his head in

respect which I returned in kind then left to go back to where Tsu'tay was but this time when I got there I his a little so I could see what was happening

between my sister and Tsu'tay. I was close enough to hear what they were saying it seemed that Anna had gotten there seconds before I did. Anna said

"How are you? When Jake said you were severely injured I've been so worried." My mouth hit the floor with what Tsu'tay said and did next. Tsu'tay cupped

me sisters cheek affectionately and said "My clan may have needed me to fight for them and I was happy to do so for I would do anything to protect them.

But what kept me going, what gave me the strength even though I wanted to give up because of the pain was the thought of seeing your face again." Anna

smiled and said "I just hope Jake does not find out if he does he would be furious. Jake always had been over protective of me even at Hells Gate. Even

though he could not use his legs anymore because of his spinal injury he still intimidated and punched the person till they ran away. I just hope he does not

doe the same now I care about you to much." Tsu'tay smiled which was something I had never seen since I had met him as he said "Ma Anna, Jake could not

pull me from you unless he killed me." that was all I had to hear to know what I had to do. I stepped out from my hiding place which startled them Anna

started to say something but I held a hand up to silence her as I asked Tsu'tay "Is that what you said about my sister that you care about you so much that

only death could tear you away from her." I must have been glaring at Tsu'tay with enough force that made a Thanator look like a kitten because Tsu'tay

cringed but kept his voice even "Yes Jakesully, I care for you sister more than anything and I will protect her as you protect Niterie. I will protect her until my

last breath even from you." Then I turned to Anna "Anna do you truly care for Tsu'tay as much as he seems to care for you? Would you protect him as

Fervently as he said he will protect you even if it is from me?" "Yes Jake I do care for him as much as he cares for me, and I will protect him just as he would

even if that means from you Jake and nothing you can say will change my mind." I sighed and shook my head while looking down but when I looked at the

two again I smiled at the fact they cared for each other and said "I wish you would have been up front with me not force me to spy on you just to figure out

what was going on. After seeing how much you care for each other which surprises me on you end Tsu'tay not so much Anna's. I can see what you say is

true by looking at you so even though I am fighting not to let my over protective, older brother, I am going to kick you ass right now side out right now, you

both have my blessing." I passed for a second then said to Tsu'tay "Do not make me regret it Tsu'tay or you will get the hell kicked out of you not just by a

friend but a pissed off older brother." Tsu'tay nodded. I shook my head then turned and left them alone still fighting the urge to scare Tsu'tay away from my

sister. I wondered aimlessly around the tree of souls thinking about all the changes in the past months since I had first came to Pandora, on how my outlook

on life had changed to much, and how I had changed in so many ways. I was snapped out of my thoughts I heard my name called I turned towards the voice

to see Niterie running up to me, When she stopped before me it her a minute to catch her breath, when she did she asked "Where have you been I have

been looking all over for you?" "I did not mean to worry you. I went to see Tsu'tay this morning he already knew everything and he accepted it he even said I

was worthy or everything including be Olo'aktan." I told her. Niterie had a Knack for knowing when I wasn't telling her something, I could never hide

anything from her no matter how hard I tried. "Jake what are you hiding that is causing you distress?" I sighed then said "My sister and Tsu'tay are in love

with each other. What surprises me is Tsu'tay would even fall for my sister considering how much can't stand dream walkers. I mean look at what happened

when I came her, he was degrading and insulting me all the time and tried to kill me a couple times. the time he started to show me respect was when I

showed up here on Turuk. So I guess it confuses me on how Tsu'tay could have hated me so much until I proved myself, Then my sister shows up and he

falls head over heals for her. Plus Ann is my little Sister it make me very protective and I don't want to here to get hurt." by the time I finished telling Niterie

what had me so on edge I could not looker her in the eye with how vulnerable I felt I had been speaking in English because I did that with her when I was

agitated at something but at this moment I switched to fluid Navi as I said "I sound like a moron right now." "No you do not ma Jake. I actually agree with

you that it is strange that Tsu'tay would change so quickly I think there is more to that story than their telling you. Plus any older sibling worries about the

younger one and sometimes are even more protective than the parents are." I wondered how she would know how protective an older sibling can get but

Niterie answered the question without me even having to ask she looked sad while she asked "Did I ever tell you how I survived the massacre at Grace's

school?" I told her he had not so she continued "My older sister she jumped in front of a gun pointed at me ready to shoot. She shielded me from the bullets

all I could do was watch as my sister died before my eyes. After the barrage of bullets had ended she fell to the floor, told me to run, and then died. Grace

grabbed my arm and pulled me away I struggled against her trying to get back to my sister. Grace got us back to Hometree safely then the school was closed

down. After we were sure the tawtute were gone from the area we returned there one last time to gather the dead and bring them back to be buried. I

helped in the recovery of the body's but I especially helped with recovery of my sister's body. When my sister was buried I took it upon myself to be as

strong as she was and be what she was supposed to be. Originally Tsu'tay was betrothed to her but when she died I took her place in that as well. So I know

all to well what an Over protective older sibling will do to protect the younger sibling." I could see the tears running down her face I whipped the tears away,

tilted her head up so I could look her in the eyes, then gently said "I didn't know. I know you probably miss your sister very much I know I miss my twin

brother. She would have been proud of you of that I am sure. I know you will see her again one day." I kissed her forehead as she smiled thanking me for

my comfort. Niterie hugged me tightly and I embraced her just as hard I whispered in her ear "I love you Niterie, rest your mind knowing that you are the

only woman that ever caught my heart." I could feel her smile into my chest she pulled away and pecked me on the lip three times. Then I saw a

mischievous glint in her eyes and knew she was planning something I crinkled my forehead as I said "What are you planning?" she laughed flashing her sharp

teeth saying "I have an idea on how to get our two lovebirds to tell us the whole story." I knew she meant Tsu'tay and Anna I asked "How?" "Well Tsu'tay I

have known him since we were children, he will tell me anything I want know. Anna is your younger sister she knows that if she makes you mad it will not

end well so she tells you everything if you ask. So if I talk to Tsu'tay privately and you do the same with Anna some where close by and we will get them tell

us the whole story then after you and I will compare what they had told us. Then we will know the whole story." I laughed as well it was a good idea but I

could not help but say "You may have been the one training me but I s taught you a few things in the process, either that or I am rubbing off on you." she

smiled and said "You have no idea the things you have taught me ma Jake." a while later after we had made sure everything was going according to plan

around the tree of souls I asked Niterie "Where will the clan go I do not think they will always want to live here at the tree of souls so what can we do?"

Niterie thought for a few minutes I started to think she would not answer me then "I don't know Jake you are Olo'aktan now that is your decision alone to

make I give all the advice I can but only you can make the final decision on what to do." I thought on how to find a new home for the Omanticia clan then an

idea came to mind though I hated the fact that it would involve going back to Hells Gate I grudgingly told Niterie my idea "The only way I think of finding a

new Hometree for the clan is, though I hate to say it, is go back to Hells Gate and there are machines there that have a layout of all of Pandora and a

detailed layout of every inch of it including the biggest trees in Pandora. There are also machines there that can narrow down the search just by putting in

things we are looking for that would make a good new Hometree. Though I hate the idea of having to go back there I think it is the only way to find anything

otherwise it will take a lot longer to find a Hometree I do not see another option." Niterie said nothing only nodded I knew she hated the idea as well later

after we had a small meal to keep our energy up we started our plan to get Anna and Tsu'tay to tell us everything. We found them together Anna had taken

it upon herself to take care of Tsu'tay until he was at full health again. Every time I saw them together it made me want to claw Tsu'tay's eye's out, I knew I

had to keep my peace between Tsu'tay and myself no matter my feelings about the situation. Niterie went in first while I waited outside close enough I could

listen to what she said "Anna Jake is waiting outside he wants to speak to you alone. I will stay and watch over Tsu'tay." Anna said ok and came out to me. I

took my sister by the hand and led her to a small area close to the healers, we sat down on a high root that was protruding out of the ground. Once we were

seated I turned to Anna and I let the big brother come out in force as I said firmly "All right Anna there is more between you and Tsu'tay then you are telling

me, I have known Tsu'tay for almost a season now and I know how much he hate's dream walkers and humans I know that from experience, So to have

Tsu'tay take so much a liking to you within a short period of time is not possible so tell me the truth and all the truth now." She sighed and said "All right,

Tsu'tay and I have a bit of a history. About a week before you showed up on Pandora I was out in the Pandora wilderness on my own against Grace's

objections. I had been sneaking out for a while so I had gotten very good at it and I was always in this body do I could be less noticeable. The reason I had

been sneaking out was because Tsu'tay and I had been meeting up he had been teaching me things about the Navi and I taught him things he could use

against the RDA when the time came. After a while we became more than friends we started to fall for each other I just never expected that any of this would

happen but now it has. Now you know everything I hope you are not mad or try and go after Tsu'tay." I shook my head at her then said "I am glad you found

someone who cares for you just as much as I care for Niterie. I just want you to be careful I do not want to see you get hurt especially by Tsu'tay." Anna

smiled and said she would be careful "All right lets get back I think that Niterie will be getting tired of Tsu'tay's antics by now." Anna looked at me confused I

laughed as I said "Tsu'tay always has some sort of complaint or antic he pull's when she is around it is just how he is sometimes." Anna laughed too then we

started back. Niterie was outside already but she looked worried I knew by the look in her eyes that something had happened while I had been talking to

Anna I told Anna "Anna wait here do not come over there till I call you do you understand." she looked confused but agreed I ran over to Niterie I slid to a

stop in front of her and I let the worry seep into my voice though I tried not to "What's happened?" Niterie looked at me with tear filled eyes her voice shook

as she said "One of Tsu'tay's wounds has become infected and it has gotten really bad. He started seizing Mother and the other healers are working to save

him but his chances are low they highly doubt he will survive this time." I pulled Niterie into my arms saying "Tsu'tay is strong if he can a fall of over eight

thousand feet with five bullets wounds and then walk half way through the forest to get here and survive he can pull through this. He is the strongest son of

a gun I know he will fight I know he will." Niterie was crying in my arms I held her there till she had stopped I did not let her go as I said "I do not know how

to tell Anna I have to restrain her to keep her from running in there. I am sure he will pull through against the odds stacked against him he always has from

what I have seen." I broke away from Niterie but I kept hand in mine and I beckoned my sister over. When she was in front of me I could hear the worry in

her voice as she asked me "What is wrong with Tsu'tay, please what is wrong with him." "Anna, you knew when he got here he had grave wounds. They were

mending but one of the wounds became badly infected I do not know why no one caught the infection but while you and I were talking he started seizing.

Mo'at and the healers are doing all they can but his chances are very low." Anna gave out a strangled cry she tried to run into the healers area but before she

had gone more than two steps I grabbed her by the arm she struggled to get away I was stronger than her though thanks to all the training I received from

Niterie and the military she is strong but she was never as strong as I was. I grabbed her around the abdomen as she struggled to get away I wrestled her to

her knees as she screamed through her tears "Let me go I have to see him please let me go!" as I restrained my little sister I said into her ear a calmly as

possible "Anna listen to me if you go in there now you will only get in the way and possibly cause Tsu'tay more harm. He's strong he will fight even with the

odds stacked against. I believe in him so must you. Just give him the strength you have by letting Mo'at and the others help him." it took another few

minutes of consoling and telling her that Tsu'tay's life was now at Eywa's mercy and all we could do was wait for her to stop struggling in my arms. When she

did stop struggling before I let Anna go I asked her "If I let you go will you stay here and not try to get in there?" Anna nodded but said nothing so I released

her. I took Niterie aside while keeping an eye on Anna and asked her "Niterie, my sister really needs my support right now, would you mind if I let her stay

as close to you and I as possible it could comfort her and me greatly?"' Niterie smiled and said "Of course she can stay as close as she would like. She is you

younger sister and since you are my mate I consider her my younger sister as well. Anna needs us right now and I will do whatever I can to help her and you

through this." I kissed Niterie and thanked her then we returned to Anna I sat beside her and said "Anna, Niterie and I were talking and I know you need me

right now so I want to keep you as close as possible in case you need me." "Thank you Jake you have always been there for me." Anna said Niterie put her

hand on Anna's back and said "Anna I know you have not known me for long but as I told Jake, you are his little sister and since I am mated to him I

consider you as my little sister as well. I will do everything to help you and Jake through this, helping you and Jake will give me some peace of mind as well."

Anna smiled at Niterie though the smile never reached her eyes as she said "Thank you Niterie you do not know how much that means to me." Niterie smiled

back. We sat outside the healers area where they were slaving away to try and save Tsu'tay's life, Niterie and Ann had fallen asleep but I stayed awake to

watch over them and to make sure that in case Mo'at or one of the other healers came to give me news on Tsu'tay's health which never came.
