When I arrived back at the camp I headed over to the sully kids and my siblings eaves dropping on the conversation in the tent. I crept over. I touched Kiri's back to let her know I was there. She turned to me and put her finger over her mouth, telling me to be quiet. I nodded and leaned my head closer.

"I cannot you cannot ask this, I cannot leave my people" Neytiri shouted, sounding like she was going to cry. 

"He's targeting our family, and the Kekoah's" Jake replied, sounding scared. 

"You cannot ask this!" Neytiri yelled at him. What were they talking about. I was so confused. "This is our home!"

"He had our children. He had them under his knife!" Jake said, starting to raise his voice. My heart started to breathe faster. He isn't talking about leaving. Was he?

"My father gave me this bow as he laid dying! He said to protect the people!" Neytiri said.

"Quaritch has spider! And that kid knows everything, he knows our plan! Our camp!" Jake started to yell a bit. 

I had enough. I left the tent, tears again forming in my eyes. Etayna followed me.

"We're not leaving are we (Y/n)?" He asked me. I just shook my head and brought him in for a hug, Kau'i running up and joining us. After a minute or two I heard Kiri start crying. I ran up to her, her brothers already hugging her.

"We aren't leaving... are we?" I said hesitently.

"Kiri nodded crying. I put my the back of my hand to my mouth, prevent any sounds coming out of my mouth as tears fell from my face. 

"(Y/n) what's happening?" Kau'i asked me, holding Etayna's hand. I looked at her with tears falling my from my eyes and nodded. "No.. no no no we can't leave! This is where we grew up! I can't leave!" She said also, crying, as Etayna started crying also. It was a mess. The 7 of us kids huddled into a group hug, all crying.

When the group hug broke, I grabbed Kiri, Kau'i, Lo'ak, and Neteyam and dragged them to the side. "Even if we are leaving, we have to be strong for Etayna and Tuk. I don't think Neytiri, Jake, or my mom want this either. Just be strong," I said as my eyes burned from the tears. I started crying again. Neteyam hugged me, this time as a real comforting hug. I hugged him back as I sobbed into him. Kiri went over to Tuk and Etayna, as Kau'i and Lo'ak hugged.

"It's going to be ok, we're going together," Neteyam said.

"Even if we weren't... going to be together," I breathed out with some sobs, "I'd still go with you," I cried out, hugging him again. He made me feel safe.

I looked up and saw my mom walk into  the tent. A couple minutes later the parent's came out and called us up in.

"'upxare," My mom breathed out, holding tears. Etayna came running to her, hugging her. 

'Upxare means meeting. We all went up in a group, with Neytiri and Jake in the middle, my mo behind.

Neteyams hand was around my waist, holding me close, as my head was on his shoulder, both of us facing his parents.

"Listen guys.. this will be hard on you but," Jake started to say.

"We know! We hate this idea!" Tuk screamed out storming away into her tent. I put my hand over my mouth to try and stop crying as Neteyams thumb started moving on my waist, soothing me.

"Tuk.." Neytiri said, tears falling out of her eyes also, following her.

"I'm sorry guys, we don't like this, but it's what we have to do," Jake said.

"We understand sir," Lo'ak said, Jake smiling at him.

"Yeah we get it, it's just hard for us," Kau'i chimed in.

"What she said," I replied.

I felt Neteyams head nod. Neytiri walked out of the tent, holding Tuk's hand. "I'm sorry for yelling dad," She replied crying.

"It's okay Tuk, come here," Jake said holding out his arms, as Tuk ran into them, him picking her up kissing her cheek. "This is for our safety," He said, as my mom picked up Etayna, soothing him.

That night we packed our stuff. I brough my dad's bow and arrow, and his knife. We all gathered as Jake elected Tarsum as the new olo'eyktan. He pretended to stab Jake, as we all walked out. Jake, Neytiri and Tuk, Kiri, Neteyam, Lo'ak, Kau'i, Mom, Me and Etayna.

We all left, some of us crying. I wasn't. I needed to be strong. All of our Ikrans were waiting for us. I got on Nala, with a little jacket to keep my warm, I put on my flying visors. Etayna got on with mom, and Tuk got on with Neytiri. We all left. It was going to be a long flight.

I looked back as we flew farther and farther. Tears falling out of my eyes again.
