JAKE carries Grace's human body, lightly in his arms like a child.
Jake walks through the crowd to the dais, followed by Norm,
who carries Grace's avatar.
"Look where we are, Grace." Jake taps graces shoulder gently
Her eyes flutter open. She looks up wonderingly at the Mother Tree.
"I need to take some samples." She smiles warming,
diverting her gaze over to the girl who walked silently beside jake
"Lin..." Lins eyes shot over to the weak voice that called to her
"Grace..." Lin walks around jake and next to where graces head lay on jakes bicep
"He-hey...grace, your going to be okay" Grace let out a small chuckle,
slowly reaching out to grab Lins hand "thank you...Lin"
the younger girl held onto her hand and let a few tears
drop down her cheek before dropping the ice cold hand gently.
Mo'at directs them to lay both bodies among the roots on the altar-rock.
Mo'at touches Jake's shoulder and he steps back.
"The Great Mother may choose to save all that she is"
Mo'at's hand indicates Grace's AVATAR
"in this body"
Lins hand made it's way his shoulder and massages it.
He turns around, his worried expressions
softening and he puts his hand on top of hers.
"Is that possible?" He asks Mo'at
"Possible, yes. She must pass through the Eye of Eywa and return. But Jakesully she is very weak."
Lin leans down and kisses his forehead before stepping back.
Jake kneels next to Grace, taking her tiny human hand in his.
"Hang on, they're gonna fix you up."
Grace being barely conscious. She grips his hand.
"I-always held back. But you gave them your heart.
I'm proud of you, Jake." Grace looks over to Lin and Neytiri.
Jake feels his throat close with emotion.
Grace's eyes blaze with intensity though her voice is faint.
"Help them. You do whatever it takes. You hear me?"
Jake smiled softly and began to stroke her hair
"I will."
Grace looks up to Jake and smiles
"I'm with her Jake...she's real"
Grace Shudders, as pain shoots through her.
She exhales a last shuddering breath and goes STILL.
"Grace...grace!"
He sees the roots falling away from her human body.
Jake turns hopefully toward her AVATAR but the
roots are falling away from it as well. It sleeps Vacant.
MO'AT stops the chant. She crosses to Jake and kneels with
him, touching his shoulder.
"Her wounds were too great, there was not enough time.
She is with Eywa now." She whispers
Lin stares at graces bodies. She hopped that grace would live,
she really did care for her even after everything.
She watched as Neytiri removes Grace's mask and gently closes her eyes.
Jake stands slowly, barely holding it together.
Lin comes to him and he sees the despair and hope conflicting on her face
He puts his hand on her neck and pulls her forehead to his and kisses the tip of her nose
"Im sorry..." she whispers whilst her tail wraps around his leg pulling their bodies closer.
Another death
Caused by the Sky people...
