The Moon From The Stars

The Questioning

Y/n's pov:

"So...what were you doing at the old shack?" Jake was sat in front of you. He had gotten you to sit back in the chair so you could talk face to face.

"Why is colonel Quaritch back?" He asked moving his head down to look at you. You had your arms resting on the legs. Head down so he couldn't see you.

"We aren't here to hurt you, we just need answers." He said placing a hand on your shoulder.

Answers? Not going to hurt me? By keeping me as his prisoner? you thought to yourself. You slowly lifted your eyes to the man giving him on of the biggest death stares you could muster

You had become a pro at them after your years on earth living with gang members. You were always in danger and from time to time you were kept hostage. The kidnapper would ask you questions and you would just stare at them, much like you were with Jake now.

"Kid please..." You let out a quiet sigh. You shook your head, lifting up your arms to rest your throbbing forehead in them. "why is quaritch back? We-"

"I don't know!" You snapped. Your eyes were shut tight and the headache grew larger with every second that passed. "I don't know, alright."

After a few seconds of silence between the 2 of you, you slowly lifted your head to look up at the man. His lips were pushed into a thin line. He sat on the edge of his chair arms resting on his legs much like yours were just a minute ago.

"Look I'm 15 years old...they don't tell me shit...Would you?" You asked. The man lent back, rubbing his eyes. You could see he was under a lot of stress at the moment.

You licked your lips and looked around the room before continuing. "If I knew I would tell you..." You took a breath through the mask. "They... they don't trust me enough to tell me their plans."

The man tilted his head and lent forward. "What do you mean?" His words were fast.

"They have known since they recruited me that I always thought they were the bad guys. The RDA. Humans fucked up earth, so now they find another beautiful planet and try to fuck that up too." You said with a bite in your tone.

You were upset and Jake could tell. You were upset that you had been taken. Upset that you couldn't help the Na'vi more. And upset that you weren't sure as to what would happen to you.

The man nodded and looked to the ground as though he was thinking. You watched his eyes dash from one spot on the ground to another till he looked up at you with a very small smile. "Do you know why a certain 15 year old girl is an avatar and here on Pandora?" He asked trying to be as nice as possible. To try and calm you down.

You let out a huff. "The RDA needed someone who could take teams out on missions and help them. Someone who knew about the landscape and what lived there." You pointed to yourself as Jake nodded. "I was on the streets and I was sick. I was going to die. Why wouldn't you go for a second chance at life of the planet you loved more than yourself?"

The man let out a scoff before standing up. "Get some rest." He said tapping your knee before turning around. "Norm can you show..." He stopped himself. And looked back to you. "kid, what's your name?" He asked.

"Y/n" you said plainly. You watched him nod before heading to the door and continuing his talk.

"Can you show y/n where she can get some sleep?" He yelled out before walking out without another word. You saw Norm put a thumbs up. Telling you he would be there in a minute.

You stood up to stretch while you waited. That's when something caught your eye. Or someone. A long haired boy with beautiful eyes.

"What?" You asked standing to face the boy and crossing your arms. Neteyam came out from where he was hiding. "Were you listening to all of that?" You asked. He just gave you a stare. An angry looking one.
