HOME | Neteyam

Bonus

The Na'vi boy named Neteyam dropped unconscious on the ground, gasping for air, as his poisoned wounds slowly kill him. Enid was gritting her teeth, furious that there's a possibility that there will be a dead Na'vi burried in her home if she let this man die.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck." she continued whispering, sweats dripping from her forehead. She tried to take the man's arm but even just a single arm is too heavy for her, what more his body?

She have to get him to the lab.

She stood up and thought of a dumb and resourceful way. Using her lips, she whistled and called her Direhorse, Caloy. It took a little while before he arrived. Enid took some thick vines around.

She wrapped the vines around the horse's waist connecting them to the vines wrapped around Neteyam's ankle.

This will not gonna go well...

She tapped Caloy's back to walk, dragging Neteyam with his foot while he whimpers in pain. Everytime he would bump his head on some rock, she would wince and pretend that she didn't see anything.

Better than nothing, better than nothing... She tried to console herself continuously.

"Tsireya, have you seen Neteyam? He didn't come home last night. That never happened." Jake frantically approached Tsireya, hoping she knows because he has asked almost everyone who's close to Neteyam. He's in the verge of asking the chief to have a search for his son.

Tsireya felt her hands tremble. She have seen Neteyam entered the forest yesterday before she can even call him back. But right now, she have to make a very effective excuse because her best friend's life is at stake.

"Um, what? I thought he told you?" Tsireya answered trying to hide her shaking lips.

"What do you mean, Tsireya?"

"Neteyam said he's going back to your former home in the forest because he said he's already nineteen and he have to find a mate. He said he can't find any fine woman here that he likes so he went there to search instead."

Jake's jaw dropped but his worrying eyes melted. "He said that?"

She nodded. "Yes, yes."

Jake slowly looked around, thinking about his eldest son. "That's my son." he said proudly to himself imagining what he would say and brag to Tonowari about this.

It's been days since Enid has been shot and still unconscious inside Norm's lab. Neteyam was kept in their Pod with guards outside the door.

Today, Neteyam was inside with his parents while they prepare their foods. They were quiet and he's thinking about Enid; how she's doing or when will she wake up.

Then there's something that he remembered. Something he badly needed to ask to his parents.

"Mom, can I ask you a question?" Neteyam asked.

Neytiri was chopping some meat. "Of course, Neteyam. What is it?" she answered. Her mate was just listening quietly.

"I know this is a bit weird but do you really think I have good facial features?"

Neytiri looked away from her work to look at her son. Jake was surpressing his laugh by the sudden question of his eldest son. "Yes, son. Of course you do. Many women's eyes here are glued to you."

He smiled. "Um, am I adopted, mom?"

This time, his parents entirely dropped their works. "What made you think you are? No, you're not. You came from my womb. What's with these questions?"
