꧁Forest Girl꧂ // Aonung

꧁12꧂

I saw Jake, Tonowari and many others, in front of the ship as I landed on it. I jumped down from Arokh and he quickly flew away. Lo'ak, Tsireya and Tuk were tied up against the railing and I quietly hissed.

Worries were all I got but on the flight here I suddenly was all braver and I didn't know why. I felt so strong all of the sudden, like I could take Quaritch, Sydok and Lyle at once. I've never felt such a feeling before.

I was creeping around, trying my best to not get caught. Hopefully, Aonung is not mad at me that I pushed him away, but I couldn't take him with me. „Let's go buttercup." I heard a voice say as I got pulled by my arms.

Seriously? I was better at this once. I turned around and aimed my knife at him. It was Lyle „Put that down little one." He told me warningly. I didn't put it down, why would I?

„Wanna test me, alright." he said as he rushed towards me. I moved and he didn't caught me. Didn't expect that, to be honest. But then another one came up and grabbed my knife away from me.

I closed my eyes, I'm screwed but that's not important. More important is that my siblings make it out safe. Lyle grabbed me and carried me towards my siblings. He tied me up in between Lo'ak and Tuk „Seriously, setting up your own daughter?" Quaritch asked Jake and I hissed at him.

Lo'ak just shot me an ‚seriously' Look. „What's up?" I asked shrugging my shoulders with a smile on my face. „Ah not much, just being fucking tied up." He hissed at me and I went silent. He had a point.

Suddenly the panic came back as my adrenaline went down again and I was just left with my siblings, unable to do anything now. „You're wasting time, jake and I'm not patient." Qauritch said as he put a gun behind my head.

Lo'ak hissed at him „No!" I heard tuk say but I kept being quiet. If one of us needs to die, it's me. I'm not gonna let Lo'ak or Tuk die, neither Tsireya. „You killed your own race, good women, good men, I'm not gonna hesitate on killing one of your children." He told jake and Unfortunately I believed every word he said.

„I'm coming." We heard Jake say and I frowned my eyebrows. I carefully watched him, what is his plan? What is he about to do? After a bit of time, he started swimming towards us, all alone.

No, no, no. More and more panic entered my head as I saw him coming nearer. „No." I heard Tuk whisper. If I could, I'd hug her right now „Everything's gonna be fine." I whispered at her.

I didn't even believed myself so I won't complain if she also didn't. Jake is gonna die if he comes over all alone. I was thinking about what to do, how could I get out of these? I need to- „What?!" I heard a voice yell.

I looked up and saw Payakan, jumping on the ship. My jaw dropped and I couldn't believe what I was watching at that moment. Suddenly all the Metkayinas started rushing towards the ship along Jake and the ship started moving around because of Payakan.

Chaos was all over the ship and no one paid attention to us. „Teyam!" Tuk yelled as she looked up at her older brother. My jaw dropped even more as I saw Aonung, right behind him.

Neteyam untied Tsireya and then Tuk and Aonung walked towards me. He put the knife against the tie and pulled it apart. I rubbed my arms „I'm sorry." I told him and he nod at me. „It's alright, you're safe." He whispered and I nearly cried at his words.

It's alright, you're safe. Anavari, focus. „Who's the mighty Warrior, come on say it?" Neteyam asked Lo'ak and me as he laughed which Made me smile. Seeing Neteyam laugh made me so happy „get tuk out of here." Neteyam told Aonung who nod.

„Vari, come with me." he said to me but I shook my head. I can't, I can't leave them alone. I'm sure they can take care of themselves but still.

„Vari-„ „Go, I'll be safe." I interrupted him and he sighed before walking off. I need a pause, I need to breathe! Looking at Neteyam, I felt so much relief and I couldn't explain why. I wrapped my arms around him, embracing him.
