I groan at the impact of the blast that knocked me on the ground. I shake my head trying to get up and figure out where I am. I heard the clan cry in anguish, in fear. "My family." I cough trying to see through the smoke "Ao'nung."
"help." I hear a small voice call. I look around me to see Ao'nung his little sister laying on the ground crying.
"Asina." I call out for her. I crouched down and examine her for any injuries and to my relief she was okay.
"Neteyam." She holds her hands out for me as she saw it was me next to her. I picked her up and held her close to me.
"Asina where you with anyone? Where are your siblings or parents?"
"I ran off to dance with you." She sniffs throwing her arms on my neck.
"Hold on to me." I tell her as I searched through the Na'vi. I told those who were wounded and alive to get out of here. The aircraft came closer and the noise it caused muted my voice.
"I am scared." Asina whispers in my ear.
"I got you." I tell her placing my hand on her head to comfort her "I will protect you."
"NETEYAM." I hear a familiar voice, to see my brother and Tsiyera running at me. Both of them looking scratched but healthy and alive.
"Tsiyera." Asina cries as I give her to her sister, where she continued to cry.
"Have you seen the rest of our family?"
"You are the first one we found." Lo'ak shakes his head coughing
"Get her and yourselves to safety." I tell them "I am going to look for them."
"You are not going alone." Lo'ak grabs my hand.
"You have to get them to safety." I tell him "Please."
"Neteyam." He tries to argue and when I looked in his eyes, I noticed the emotion swivelling in them, the fear of losing me again.
"I will be fine." I tell him "Protect them for me please."
"You better come back alive." He grumbles not agreeing but doing what I asked anyway.
I nodded at him placing my hand on his head "I will, now go."

I watched them run to safety as I turned around and helped people stand up and run. During my search I ran into Roxto who was carrying an unconscious Kiri. "Roxto, Kiri." I yell but gasped as I saw my sister "What happened?"
"She hit her head." Roxto exclaims "But she is breathing."
I kiss my sister forehead before pointing in the direction Loak and Tsiyera had run off "Go that way you will find my brother, he is with tsiyera leading the wounded out of here."
he nods before running off "Be careful."
I turn around and called for my parents, for Tuk and for my boyfriend, but no one answered me. I looked up to see the aircraft flying above me, the wind the motors produced blew away the smoke and I had a clearer view of the situation we were in but I felt my breath falter as I saw Ao'nung laying on the ground motionless, Tuktirey was trying to wake him up while my mother and Ronal stood over him hissing at a few sky people trying to get closer. I was about to charge but I was stopped by my father and Tonowari. Who looked murderous themselves.
"Your siblings?" My father asks.
"They are save, as are your daughters Chief Tonowari. Loak is leading them to safety" I tell them before looking at my dad "Kiri is hurt but Roxto is taking care of her."
"let's get this over with shall we." My father growls as the three of us charge forward.
