Nightfall approached thereafter. Leaving us to stand in the dim forest with only the glow of a few plants to help aid our sight. As we were being held roughly by the Avatar, we looked off into the distance at the sound of a Na'vi call sound. It was my mother, I could recognize her call a mile away.

Kiri began to chant to Eywa in hopes of us all coming out of this okay. I quietly joined in on her chants. The soldier holding both Kiri and Spider were getting pissed at Kiri's supposed 'ramblings'. He told her to shut up over and over. Before he was about to shout at her once more he was shot in the head by a flying arrow. The arrow in which I instantly recognized to be my mother's. The commotion caused the soldiers to release Kiri and Spider before shooting off into the trees to try to neutralize my mother.

"Lo'ak!" I heard my mother scream. Lo'ak seemed to have gotten the message as I watched him pull the pin to one of the soldier's smoke bombs and bite harshly into his arm, causing him to release him and Tuk. They quickly scurried off into the distance.

In the midst of the chaos, I took the opportunity to swing my body weight and cause the two soldiers that were watching over me to fly over my back and over me to hit the ground. I grabbed the knife out off one of their holsters and stabbed them both deeply before twisting and pulling it out. I ran in the direction towards the tree line, the direction I last saw Kiri and Spider run to.

I heard their leader taunting my mother as I gazed from a distance.

"Why don't you come on out, Mrs.Sully? We have some unfinished business, you and me." He stated before my mother retorted.

"Demon! I will kill you as many times as I have to!"

"You and the corporal have been pretty busy, haven't you? Got yourself a whole litter of half-breeds. And that eldest girl of yours, she's a handful. She looks and acts just like you, she killed four of my men... I won't lie. I enjoyed beating the shit out of her." I hear him respond to my mother. I can only imagine the look on my mother's face right now. She probably wants to pounce on the man and tear him limb for limb.

I quickly move back to catch up with Kiri and Spider as I see the soldiers closing in on my location. I run through the branches and I spot them and catch up to them.

"Come on, you two. stay close, okay" I say. Spider looks at me with a look of warmth as he sees me also protecting him as well as Kiri.

The soldiers shoot up into the trees in our direction. A missile hits the branch we were on shortly after. The blast sends Spider off the side towards the left and I get sent to the right. Kiri is the only one remaining atop the branch. As I'm rolling, I manage to halt myself with a nearby trunk, scratching up the palms of my hand to do so. I hear my sister Kiri yelling above me.

"Spider...Sylwanin!!" her voice fades off into the distance right after.

I stand up and surveil my surroundings as I see the forest flashing with the light of firing bullets. I duck down low so as to not meet my end by a stray one.

Despite me being able to stop my tumble, I can now feel a sharp pain traveling up my right ankle and radiating all the way up to my knee every time I apply pressure onto it. I can't stop to soothe myself now though.
I rush forward through the forest as quickly as my body will muster, but not before alerting two soldiers behind me.
I manage to avoid all of their bullets. Just as I thought I was about to lose them, I feel a new sting in my shoulder. I quickly look down to see a hunting knife buried in my shoulder all the way down to the hilt. They must have got me when I turned to look at them and the knife must have hit me head-on.
