The wrong star

Enemies

I fall down and hold onto some piece of railing.

I hope Miles is helping Kiri and Tuk get out, if not I'm going to be mad as hell.

After thinking about what part of the ship I'm at, I decide that I'll have to get in the water and swim so I can get back to the deck.

So I take a deep breath before lowering myself into the water. It is cold but manageable.

There are fewer voices now, only the red light of the sirens that sometimes touches the water and its sound. I go around and find a part of the boat sunken enough so I can climb back up.

"Spider" I whisper as I go inside, walking from wall to wall so I am still protected.

I hear yelling and then shotguns and I don't know what's going on now. I recognize Slovich's voice as he screams in fear and then something shuts him up.

I climb up the structure to be able to see.

This place is a blood bath.

I notice Neytiri's arrow and I smile.

They're here, I can help them.

I get down and get my axe out. I walk with stealth and listen carefully to the soldiers steps, they'll always be a little louder than ours.

I turn the corner and encounter one of them, before he can scream I slash his throat and catch him, lowering him to the ground so his body doesn't make a sound. I turn my axe and drive the tip into his skull, dead.

I turn it around again and keep walking, another one is coming, this time behind me.

I get ready and run towards them, he seems confused to see me but it's too late to react when my axe has reached him.

Some more gunshots are heard close to the area where I lost my cousins and Miles so I walk towards it. I notice Jake is hiding in another corner, I'm about to approach him when I notice a soldier that's about to do the same.

He points at Jake and I throw my axe at his head. It's a nice shot.

Jake turns when he listens to my axe hit the wall and notices the death soldier.

"Anatuat?" he asks.

"Jake," I salute him.

He doesn't look that great, but I think I might look similar.

"Are you hurt? you're covered in blood," he says looking me up and down. I look down too.

It's true. I've ruined Miles's jacket. Now it's red as my hands.

I shake my head and laugh a little.

"Fuck" I whisper.

Jake wants to ask me something but then I see him run away. He kills one more soldier that was about to get to Neytiri.

I follow them and stop there.

She looks savage, she doesn't look bad like Jake, instead she looks... scary. Lost, she's here but she's not and she's more deadly than she's ever been.

I fear that the only thing that could drive her this way is my cousin's death.

Jake goes to her and she just shakes him off, saying she's fine. Then I notice Tuk at the distance, she's still cuffed.

"Dad!" Tuk yells happily when she sees Jake.

I get a little closer.

I'm about to talk to her and ask her about Kiri when Miles comes out of somewhere.
