It was Wokan and the rider was my brother. He was the only Na'vi who wore Human clothing that wasn't apart of the RDA.
I dived and raced infront of everyone. Mesh'la felt my sense of anger and frustration, she too felt the same. I landed on the ground next to the fallen Ikran.
I slipped off Mesh'la and went over to Wokan who was groaning from pain. His breathing wasn't good, he was going to die. I tear drop fell down my cheek as I touched his neck. He hissed as he turned to me, then relaxed as he seen it was me.
"Tsleng zong fkeu tukru." I said as I rubbed the dying Ikran. (Eywa save mighty warrior.)
I heard sounds of grunting but not from Wokan. I turned and looked around to see my brother, trying to lift himself up.
I heard the other Ikrans close, i quickly ran to Norm. "You don't have much time, they will find you." I say as I came from behind him.
He quickly turned around to see me. "Tarya, your alive! We were searching-"
"Shhh..Don't tell me anything." I hushed him. "You must leave before they spot you, I am safe so is spider."
"Go brother, Run far from here." I say to him.
"Wokan he's-"
I turned to look behind me and noticed the Ikran's chest wasn't rising and falling.
"He is gone brother, Eywa will protect him now, just as I will protect you."
The trees rustled as the wings of the Ikran blew the air towards them, that was when I watched my brother run of into the bushes, leaving his blade behind. I picked it up and placed it in my pocket before the others would see. I heard the clicking of a gun reloading behind me as I stood still.
"Turn around with you hands in the air." Fike's voice announced from behind me. I scoffed and did as he asked. Wainfleet came behind me and practically circled me. I turned my head and gave him a deathly look.
"Clear." Lyle announced but they still had their guns aimed at me. I didn't fear their guns, they would know that by now.
Miles and spider came around the corner and Miles did not have a happy look on his face. "Lyle, Fike!" He yelled. "Put the guns down."
"Sorry Sir." They both said in sync.
I put my hands down as they backed away from me. I smirked as Fike and Lyle didn't like being told off by their superior. Spider was beside Wokan, with a hand beside where wokan had been shot. While everyone searched for the rider, I went over to Spider as he looked at me with worried eyes.
I traced the beautiful Ikran's markings with the tip of my finger. "It is wokan, isn't it?" Spider whispered to me, as I slowly nodded back. I tried to hold back tears as I squeezed my eyes shut.
I heard Fike, lyle, Z and zhang talking behind me as they had finished their search for the rider. "Great shot, I mean look at the beast." Lyle exaggerated.
I let out a sort of accidental hiss. "This is sad, and sad only." I said with anger and frustration in my voice. "you do not celebrate the death of someone's brother." I almost yell as I turn around and stand up straight to the group.
Z stepped forward and looked at me with a sort of 'Don't start something' Look on her face. "I knew you were like one of the Na'vi or whatever but c'mon." Lyle scoffed in a mocking way.
The men beside him chuckled at his mocking. He had managed to get himself closer towards me and I turned my head to restrain myself from hitting him but I couldn't. With the built up anger and frustration my tail was no longer under my control, and lyle noticed this.
"Oh shi-"
Before he could say anymore, I brought up my fist and punched him in the face. I felt two strong arms pull me back as Z held back her mate from reacting. I looked over to Spider who was giggling away at the whole situation. Lyle put two fingers on his eyebrow and looked at blood on his fingers.
"You know how to throw a punch, Princess." Miles said as he restrained me from behind.
I took in a breath in and out before saying anything. "Alright let go." I say to Miles as he held me with quite the force.
"No more hitting my men." He tells me, but not in an angry way, with patience.
I rolled my eyes. "No more hitting your men." I sigh as he then finally let me go. "Unless they deserve it." I smirked.
I had calmed down since the whole Wokan's death and Punching lyle. I was sitting alone while eating the food we had hunted, I'm pretty sure I scared everyone away, even Z. Spider was feeding the Ikran so I placed my food down and went to go help him.
As I walked over, I stopped myself as I heard Miles and Lyle arguing. I hid behind Branch and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"What you said was wrong." Miles told him.
"Your not seriously taking her side?"
"You know damn well she could've killed all of us but she decided to teach us and protect her own." Miles retaliated. I took in a breath and felt relief? no... Understood. "Given that choice in that situation none of us would do something like that." I smiled to myself knowing that he was actually defending me. "Go apologise."
"How am I supposed to know where she is?"
"Ask Z-dog then the kid."
I heard Lyle stumble over and Sigh but I chuckled knowing Miles probably shoved him. I stayed until Lyle had gone back to the Mauri before stepping out from behind the tree, not knowing Miles was only a few steps away. "Wainfleet is looking for you, but then you already know that." Miles said with a smug look on his face.
I rolled my eyes and mentally slapped myself. "You have good sense of your surroundings, you would make a very good hunter." I say, trying to get myself out of the situation. He wasn't buying it.
I let out a fake groan and he chuckled. "I don't want to see Lyle unless he was planning on losing an arm."
