💕Avatar One Shots 💕

9: The trainer

Your POV:

I was new to living with the Omaticaya as an Avatar and figuring out my way around was harder than I expected. For a while my routine on pandora was collecting samples and studying the chemistry of the forest but it became clear I needed to bond with nature to really understand it. Jake Sully was a legend, he was an avatar that revamped his life and was true Ometicaya. I had large shoes to fill and it was clear and while I thought I could learn by observation it was not working. I was clumsy and still trying to trust my body to know how to move through the forest.

It had been another long day as we all sat down for dinner, and I looked over to see Jake looking at me with curiosity in his eyes. We had never talked but he shared an empathy with me that many others could never understand so we remained cordial but never anything more. He gave me a slight tip of the head in acknowledgement as his mouth remained pressed in a line, I gave him a small smile in response and he quickly averted his gaze. Embarrassment flooded my face as I returned my attention back to eating. I finished my food before preparing to rest and leave my Avatar body in a safe place. As I was walking I saw sets of bows and arrows meant for training new hunters set aside a large stump at the base of the home tree. I took a nervous glance and saw that no one was really close by and it would be a good opportunity to practice in private. I walked towards the bows and picked a smaller one that I could hold comfortably in the palm of my hand as well as a set of bows with blue feathers jetting out the end.

I had to decide which tree would become my new target as I saw the perfect canvas about 20 meters away. I draped the sack of arrows on the ground and plucked an arrow out as I was getting used to the feel of the bow. I connected the arrow to the bows and drew my arms and shoulders back preparing to launch. I took in a breath and let the arrow fly towards the tree, only to be met with the disappointing sound of the arrow wheezing behind a tree and getting stuck in the earth. I let out a huff of frustration before shaking out my arms and getting ready for another attempt.

"You have weak form," I heard from behind me and I recognized Jake's signature judgmental tone. I turned my head around and saw him lean against a tree and watch the way my body moved. He gave me a little smirk before looking down at the ground and slowly walking towards me. Jake was hot, seriously hot. Something about him drew women in, his mannerisms, his looks, his charm, and I've heard he's pretty impressive in bed. It was hard to focus as he continued to walk towards me, once he was closer he began to circle my body and inspect every inch of my posture.

"You know I'm still learning," I reminded him gently, in fear of how he would react if I became too assertive. He chuckled sarcastically as he stopped circling me and positioned himself in front of me.

"Draw back your bow," He demanded, clearly ignoring the fact that he disrupted my solo training session. I was terrified of him so of course I complied. I face my body perpendicular to the tree and draw my arms back again. Holding this position was straining on my arms and back as he took a glance up and down my body, ultimately deciding what the biggest flaws were. He migrated behind me as my eyes were still locked on the tree and I forced myself to take slow breaths so as to not give away my nerves.

"Push in your stomach," He reached his arm from around my back and placed his hand on my stomach and pushed in hard. I immediately reacted against his touch with a shudder as I pulled my stomach back.

"You're hunched over," He removed his hand from my stomach and placed both of his hands on my shoulder pulling me back hard again and forcing my posture upright. I let out a small grunt in surprise as he continued to contour my body. He moved out from behind me, satisfied with my form then facing the front of my body.

"Raise your arm," He hit the underside of my arm, drawing back the bow as I quickly reacted, raising my arm to a position he believed was better. He gave himself a satisfied nod then gestured with his hand towards the tree I was aiming at, implying I should shoot. I released the arrow and felt it fly through the air hitting my intended spot.
