Chapter 11

Enid's POV

I feel numb. I can't feel my body but I could feel something' s wrong with me.

I opened my eyes, squinting because of the bright lights above me making me almost blind. I adjusted my sight with what's around me. I was in a room. A white room. And I was at the center, laying on a bed with wires of sort attached to me.

I sat down, my head spinning, only to find out that in front of me was a glass wall and behind it was the most unpleasant sight I've ever laid my eyes into. The two famous families in Metkayina Clan; Sully's and the Chief's with masks hanging around their necks.

I growled as soon as my eyes met Jake's. I looked at the needles pierced onto my skin, the white robe, and a sling where my right arm is resting. Using my other hand, I removed the needles from my body, to learn that they were very deep. I didn't feel the pain probably because I have anesthesia but the blood dripped down. However, that's my least concern for now.

"You should have not taken that off, you're still weak, Enid." Jake talked to me and it just made my blood boil, hearing his voice.

Wobbling, I went to the glass and look at them. "Let me..." I stopped knowing that my throat was dry and my voice was hoarse. "Let me out of here fuckers."

"Enid, please, lay back. Don't hurt yourself even more." Tsireya stepped closer with her worried innocent face. The closest friend I have outside the forest, Tsireya. She's been sneaking to meet me everytime at the cave where Anashe lives. That cave has a small hidden tunnel that leads to the ocean itself. Beside her was the Na'vi who shot me.

I gave him a deadly look. "You're dead..." my voice was breaking as I turn to that man. "You're fucking dead to me."

Tsireya held the man's arm as if urging him to do something. I realized it was the boy she always tells me about. Lo'ak. He looked at me. "Look, I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry I shot you, I thought you were killing my dad."

"I was. You interrupted me." I glared at him even more, noticing something on his bare forehead. "You penis face."

His eyes widen as he looked at a woman beside her. "Kiri, did you teach her that?"

"What? No!" she defended.

"No one's gonna kill anyone." Tonowari, the chief meddled between us. Beside him was his wife, Ronal holding a child beside her as her stare pierced through me.

"She must be exiled from here, she's a demon." Ronal suggested out of nowhere.

"Wait, no, no." Jake went in between them. "She lives in the forest for years, she didn't do anything that harmed you."

"And we're not gonna wait until that happens." she argued back.

"Look, I know she looks like a threat to you, but she's just a child and she's a sky person, she won't be able to find home."

"That's gonna be her problem."

"She's alone. She's harmless." Jake defended.

"She stabbed you--"

"Mother." Tsireya interrupted again, taking the courage to speak. "We can't exile her. We've already done so much pain to her."

Ronal arched her eyebrows. "What is it that you mean?"

She bit her lip and looked at me but didn't ask for my permission over anything. "Our people made her life miserable. We killed her parents when she was a child. She didn't do anything nor her parents. Exiling her isn't a good idea. And my conscience will not take it anymore."
