"Terina. Terina. No. No. No no no. Please. Terina. Please great mother." I felt a body shake me so hard that i could hear all the bones in me vibrate.
"Is she breathing?" I heard another voice.
"I told you boys to go home." then another voice.
I shot up and head-butted Neteyam in the face.
I groaned and held my head in agony.
"Thank you great mother." He sighed in relief and pulled me closer towards him into a hug, I looked past him and saw Jake and Lo'ak both with the same relieved expression on his face.
"Are you hurt?" Jake asked.
"No." I shook my head and Neteyam pulled away from me.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm-"
"I don't think she's okay."
"I-"
"She's not."
"I am o-"
"she's looks in pain."
"NETEYAM."
There was silence.
I let out a huff and looked at him.
"I am fine."

"How could you be so stupid?" Jake hissed as we arrived at the mountains.
Kiri immediately rushed over, examining the wounds of her brothers before turning to me and hugging me tightly.
"Sir. It was my faul-" Neteyam started and Jake cut him off.
"Damn right it is. You're the older brother, start acting like it."
"It's not his fault it's mine." Lo'ak tried to explain.
"You shut it." Jake hissed.
"It was my fault. I said I wanted to see." I tried to take the blame but he shook his head.
"You three are the worst, always taking the blame for each other."
"Kiri. Baby girl. Please, go help your grandmother with the wounded." Jake sighed, defeated as his children refused to listen to him.
"My brother is wounded." Kiri responded as she looked at Neteyam.
"And so is Ter." Lo'ak added.
"So are you." I spun around and held up his arm, revealing a gash on the side of his waist.
"Please." Jake groaned.
"Neteyam is wounded." I tried to tell him.
"Guys-"
"Jake, your son is actually bleeding." Neytiri stated, giving me a look that made me stifle a laugh as we both rolled our eyes at Jake.
"Mother I'm fine." Neteyam mumbled.

"OW! OW!" Neteyam hissed as my grandmother applied some paste to his wounds.
"Mother I'm fine." I mocked him and he turned to me with a glare.
"Shut up." He snarled at me and Lo'ak hit him right where his wound was.
"Don't speak to her like that."
"I was just joking bro." Neteyam looked over at me in concern and I gave him a smile, assuring him I knew he was just playing.
"Teri." I looked over to Kiri, who had finished healing a warrior and was now gesturing for me to come over and be healed.
"I'm okay." I told her.
"Go." Neytiri hissed and pushed me forward abruptly but I knew she only meant to do it with care.
I groaned and sat down in front of Kiri, letting her take care of me.
"You always have the most scratches." She scolded me softly, dabbing some paste onto my back.
"It's because I'm the best warrior. Aren't I?" I shot my head to Jake, who was stood at the door, arms crossed and he gave me a smile, agreeing with me.
"Of course Ter." He chuckled.
"You have those skills from your mother." Neytiri grinned and i look at her, more alert than I've ever been.
"Really?" I asked.
"Your parents were great warriors Teri." She nodded.
"That's why you're so great." Kiri spoke from behind me.
"Still have nothing on me." Lo'ak gave me a nudge and Kiri hissed at him.
"Hey. I'm working."
"Will she be fixed doc?" Lo'ak smirked at me and I flipped my middle fingers up at him.
"Dad!"  He pointed at me and Jake threw his head back in laughter.
"There." Kiri patted me and I thanked her.
"Rest up for tomorrow, I'll take you to hunt." Jake nodded at me.
"Why does Ter get to hunt?" Lo'ak groaned.
"Because I can actually catch food, Lo'ak." I smirked and felt a skin on skin connection with my face, I hissed at him.
"OW!"
