AVATAR- THE DEEP SEA

little main character moment

It was a cold rainy night. I was running through the forest as my mother pulled me harshly. My tears had dried a long time ago with the harsh wind hitting my face.

"Mom" I try grabbing her attention but she wouldn't even look back. We keep running through the dark forest.

I could hear hooves following us. I knew they were soon going to catch up to us yet my mom kept running, determined to get away.

I start to cry. I am exhausted and scared. I have no idea what is going on but my mom won't answer any questions. She only tells me to keep running. To keep following her.

The sound of hooves is getting closer. I knew we have no time left but she won't stop.

My mother doesn't even look back, she just keeps going.

I hear men shouting behind us.

I start panicking. My breath shalow as we keep on running as fast as we can. I knew I was slowing my mom down yet she didn't complain. Not even once did she turn around to yell at me to keep up. I wish she did. I wish she got mad at me that day, it would have made it easier for me to hate her.

Would have made it easier to deal with the loss.

But she doesn't. She keeps running.

Suddenly I see where we are headed.

A big tree stands infront of us. I guess that's were my mom wants to seek shelter.

We're almost there. I could see some men waiting for us with weapons.

We keep running until I finally see a bridge.

Right before crossing the birdge my mom pulls me infront of her to protect me.

The sound of men shouting behind us is getting louder but for now they're still in the forest.

We're halfway across the bridge and I see the people waiting on the other side beckoning us to keep going.

I get off the bridge first. I quickly look back to make sure my mom is still following me.

She's right behind me and about to get off the bridge.

An arrow hits her.

Right in the heart.

I stop running. I stop breathing. I stop everything.

This isn't real.

I don't understand.

My mom wouldn't do that. She wouldn't leave me. She's not like that.

Yet there she is.

I see her body stiffen as she struggles to breathe.

She falls off the bridge and I run towards her.

I can't control the tears streaming down my face.

I try to hold her. Try to get her to sit up but her body is limp.

I cry her name out but again she doesn't respond.

She just looks at me. But I can't exactly see her expression because of all the tears.

I keep yelling for somebody to help her.

I keep yelling for her to wake up. She doesn't answer.

She's just smiling. While she looks at me.

I hold her head in my hands. I shake her body trying to get a response out of her.

I don't even realise her heart has stopped beating.

I just sit there with my mothers head in my hands.

My throat hurts from all the crying but I keep calling her name. I keep calling hoping she answers me.

Suddenly I'm being pulled away. I feel someone grab me under my shoulders.

I struggle. I can't leave my mom. I have to help her get up. We need to keep running.

But I'm too weak against the person.

I soon lose sight of my mom but that doesn't stop me from calling out.

I'm struggling harder now. I've never been anywhere without my mom.

There are so many questions I want to ask but I don't know which one first.

I'm put over the persons shoulder.

I try to get away but my body is too weak. I'm tired and I'm aching all over.

The last thing I remember are bright yellow eyes looking down at me before I pass out.
