It's early in the morning. Almost everyone in the village are still sleeping. There are only few who are aware. You are still unconscious in your tent. Kiri is putting something on your wounds to make them heal faster. She just finished. She took piece of cloth and some water, in a bowl, and started removing some blood and dust from your face. Neteyam got in the tent.

Neteyam - Good morning sis.

Kiri - Morning Neteyam.

Neteyam - How is she?

Kiri - Still sleeping.

Neteyam - Why don't you go and get some sleep before mom and dad wake up. I'll take care of her.

Kiri - Ok. There's still a little bit of dust on her face. Can you remove it?

Neteyam - Sure.

Kiri - (gives him the piece of cloth) Thanks. See you later.

Neteyam - Sweet dreams little sis.

Kiri left. Neteyam finished cleaning your face and sat down.
After about an hour:

Ingo - (half conscious, with closed eyes, whispering) Cairo...

Neteyam looked at you. You didn't say anything and he looked away again.

Ingo - (half conscious, with closedeyes, whispering again) Cairo...

Neteyam looked at you, this time sure you said something.

Neteyam - Hello?... Can you hear me?

Ingo - (half conscious, with closedeyes) Cairo... please...

Neteyam got next to you. Started gently rubbing your shoulder to wake you.

Neteyam - Hey... Open your eyes.

At this moment Lo'ak entered the tent.

Lo'ak - Hey Ki-. Oh hey bro. I thought Kiri was with her-

Neteyam - Lo'ak go get dad and grandma! She's waking up!

Lo'ak - Ok, I'm going.

He went to wake them.

Then you opened your eyes fast and gasped for air. You were in panic and didn't know where were you.

Neteyam - (he try to calm you down) Hey, hey, hey! It's ok! You're safe! I won't hurt you!

Ingo - (in panic) Where am I?! Who are you?!
(Then you felt a lot of pain in your arm and leg, where you were shot) Aahh! It hurts!

Neteyam - Hey look at me. Look at me!
(You lookat him with tears in your eyes, becauseof the pain)
Calm down and breathe slowly. You are safe.

You start to calm and relax.

Neteyam - You ok now?

Ingo - (nodded) (said quietly) Thank you...

Neteyam - No problem. What's your name?

Ingo - Ingo. Yours? 

Neteyam - Neteyam. You have pretty name.

Ingo - (smile at him ) Thanks. How long have I been unconscious?

Neteyam - Only a few hours. We found you last night.

Ingo - Ok.

Before you can say something else Jake, Neytiri, Mo'at, Lo'ak, Kiri and Tuk came into your tent. And started asking questions at the same time.

J- Who are you?
N- Where are you from?
K- Do you have any pain?
T- You are pretty!
L- Where is your family?

They were too loud, talking too fast and asking too many questions. It was too much for you. You grabbed your head with your uninjured hand and shut your eyes closed. Neteyam looked at you and saw that it was too much for you.

Neteyam - GUYS!

They got quiet and looked at him.

Neteyam - Look!

He pointed at you. They saw you and immediately understood what he meant.

Kiri - Ok. Everyone out! Dad you can stay.

Kiri sat down next to you and Jake was standing in front of you, as everyone else was leaving.

You opened your eyes.

Ingo - Can Neteyam stay too? (You asked shyly)

Neteyam was surprised that you wanted him to stay.  He turned around and looked at Jake. He nodded and Neteyam sat down on your other side...
