Strange Visitor

"Enteindes tu mision, correcto Mara?" [You understand your mission here, correct Mara?] Sargent Sanchez said getting me in my suit.

"Si enteindo Sargent Sanchez." [Yes I understand] I responded.

"Bueno tu mejor. Ahora ve y hazme sentir orgullosa mi nina." [Good you better. Now go out there and make me proud my girl.] She said resting a hand on my shoulder. And then the bottom of the plane opened up. I looked and her and she nodded her head.

I walked up and took a dive down. Its wasn't a long fall but it went on for quite a bit. Once I hit the ground the mission had started and there was no going back.

So i ran. I ran into the forest where no one could see me. They wanted me to learn from the people, become one of them in a sense and then we could attack. From the pictures i have seen the Na'vi do not wear a lot of clothing.

So i ripped my shirt and cut some vines and leaves. Making a shirt like the women would wear. Then i did the same for my lower region. It feels very...open but it will get me to their village in one piece hoping they don't kill me where i stand.

And I wandered. I needed to find food for now. I could worry about shelter later. So i set out to find some.

It had been a half an hour when I found a creature that somewhat resembled a deer. I slowly walked up to it and then once I was far enough away i pounced on it, tearing my knife through its skin. Blood splattered everywhere.

It cried out until i took the knife and jabbed it neck over and over and over again. And once it was at its last breath i looked it in the eye.

My father was a hunter and had always said to thank the animal for its nutrition and to look it dead straight in its eyes, so it won't be alone. "Los onjos son las ventanas de alma Mara." [The eyes are the windoes to the soul.] He would say. I missed him. "Gracias." I said as it stopped breathing.

Dinner was delicious. And i made sure to use the pieces that would have gone to waste useful. Like the sinew, i could use that as a string for my bow and arrow once it was dried. I already had shaped its rib into a bow.

I got the rest of the meat out and put it into leaves so that I can eat it more with out the rest of the animals taking it. To i got them and climbed up into a tree putting the on the branches, along with the sinew and bow. And then once every one was done I dragged the deer to a unknown spot and raced back to my area for now. And climbed the tree once again and slept.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

It was morning now and i jumped down from my tree. I stretched and went to take a look at the deer carcase.

"Hola mi amigo. Veamos quien se comino el resto de ustedes." [Hello my friend. Lets see who ate the rest of you.] I said cracking my neck.

But when i got there he was still the same. "Maldicion! Ok vamos a moverte a un lugar mejor." [Damn it! Ok come on lets move you to a better spot.] I said and was about the drag the carcase when i felt something cold on my back.

And then there was a voice. "Who are you?" I scrunched my face. What? "I said who are you?!" He yelled making me flinch. I may be in this program but i never once was held at gun point! I've never even seen a gun! "Answer me right now!" He yelled again pressing the gun harder into my back. I let a tear roll down my face, i closed my eyes and let out a sob.

"Jake! She was speaking a different language. What if she does not understand?" A soft voice said. The was silence

"Fine." He said and the gun was lifted. Footsteps could be heard coming around me the right in front. I never opened my eyes. I was shaking.

"Hey." He whispered and grabbed my hands. I shook even more and tear were coming down more often.

"Por Favor no me mates." [Please don't kill me] I said. But he just put my hands down and pushed my hair back. I think he looked at my face. "Im sorry i scared you." I slightly opened my eyes.

"Quien eres tu?" [Who are you?] I looked up. He put a confused face on. "Quien eres tu?" I said again.

"You know what i said?" He asked. I just stared at him. What in the actual fuck what he saying? I think he wants my name.

"Mara. Mara Sanchez."

"Alright were getting somewhere. How old are you? You look 16." Nothing. "Your age. Ok I'm 3 and 6." He said holding up three fingers on one hand and then 6 together.

Age! He's asking for my age. I take my hands out of his and hold 1 finger and then 5.

"Wow. Okay. Netyri. What should we do with her?"

"Ask her where she came from."

"How do i do that? She doesn't understand english!"

"You are still like baby." The woman said and came to me. She put her hands on the ground and kept putting one back and fourth, from away and then back to the other hand.

What is she trying to convey? Maybe where I'm from?

"Aqui." [Here.] I said pointing to the ground.

"Here like on Pandora?" The man asked. I nodded.

"Netyri do you think she could be one of us I mean she doesn't have 5 fingers and maybe she doesn't know Na'vi but could she really be like us. Like you?"

"I don't know."
