Death and Regret part six

Tsireya helped the two boys get Ma'yan on the ilu, Neteyam was still searching for a gun wound. Why doesn't he check if Ma'yan is alive? You may ask.

That's because Neteyam is afraid, he doesn't want to At least not right now. His heart and mind are already racing due to ma'yan being unresponsive "Let's go" They swam looking for something they can put ma'yan down "Dad!" Lo'ak called out to Jake "Ma'yan got shot and he's not responding" an anxious look rose on jakes face "Shit." He quietly yelled as he got onto his animal.

They found a rock far but not that far, Neteyam picked up ma'yan and laid him down. Jake put down his weapon and noticed Ma'yan had two gun wounds on his leg. He slightly turned him over looking for a wound in the back there was none.

But that's when he noticed something dripping from the small boy's head. Blood. Jake took a deep breath and removed the boy's long hair away from his forehead.

And there it was, the wound that ended his life. "No.." Neteyam's tone was shakey "No no no" he put his hand over the boys  heart. Heartbeat not found. Neteyam felt numb, then Neytiri came. "What's going on?" She said while she got off her Ikran when she noticed Ma'yan laying down and blood coming out of his head and him not saying a word. The realization came to her as she dropped to her knees.

There was silence, no one said a word until Neteyam burst out crying, he tried to keep it in but he couldn't any longer. He was tired of showing no emotion he hugged ma'yans dead body "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't forgive you I regret it all" he said crying, Neytiri just froze, she lost a piece of her best friend, her best friend's son. She promised to protect him at all times. She treated and loved him as her own. And now he's gone, just like his mother.

She felt like she was going to have a heart attack, Jake quickly comforted her but it didn't help.

Lo'ak just stared at the wound on his best friend's head. He also regretted everything, he didn't know what emotion to feel.

Spider didn't know Ma'yan that well anyways, he was just glad that it wasn't him.

Tsireya felt incredible guilt, she saw Ma'yan as a brother. She cried holding his hand.

Neteyam cried louder that's all you could hear, "it should've been me, it should've been me"  he repeated multiple times while still hugging ma'yans body. There was now blood all over him but he didn't care.

Neytiri held ma'yans other hand, "Oo my boy, my boy I shouldn't have let you come" she spoke to him even though he was gone "you brought great happiness upon both families you were the only piece I had left of your mother and now the both of you are gone" she's voice was also shakey.

She tried comforting her older teen but he pushed her away "Don't touch me!" He yelled at her he didn't mean to but his head was a mess, Neytiri didn't react as she knew how he felt, losing someone you loved "I'm sorry Ma'yan I'm so sorry, I should've forgiven you it's all my fault I shouldn't have told you to come"
