4:44 am | third day of the week | quiet. peaceful. | everyone's asleep. | lo'aks pov |

soft sleep.
suddenly waking up to the sound of what can only be described as someone being killed. screaming, terribly, awful, screams.
we all wake up, dad lighting a quick fire. mom grabbing tuk, making sure we're all okay. frantically looking around at eachother, waiting for dads signal to go out of the hut. my heart is pounding into my back.
the screams don't stop. they sound never ending.
cloud.
"dad! dad, what if it's cloud?" i yell to him.
"stay here, everyone stay." he commands.
the first one to go out. mom being rocking tuk back and forth, kiri under her arm. i hold on to neteyam, the first time in a while.
we hear people yelling. suddenly, everything goes quiet. no people. no screams. nothing.
i look to mom.

"lo'ak and neteyam go make sure your father is okay." she whispers.
we sneak out.
holy shit.

sleeping and cuddling with neytiri i suddenly hear the worst screams ever. making sure it's not her or anyone in this tent, the screaming get more and more intense. i hold neytiri, then suddenly see tuk and kiri about to cry.
lighting a fire to keep everyone warm, as well as to see them.  neytiri goes with them, the boys looking at me. waiting for my signal to go out. but it might be too dangerous. this is the part of parenting i hate.

i have to make the ultimate call.
they're staying. we've lost enough.
"stay here, everyone stay." i command. the boys sitting back down.
walking out to see what's happening, all the other dads running out as well.
it sounds like someone is being hurt so badly.
following where the other people go it dawns on me, we're going to clouds hut.


holy shit.
