Say Her Name (Neteyam x OC)

Peacefully I sat there, sipping juice out of a fresh, sweet fruit.
I was enjoying my time here on the vegetated shore, even though I knew it wasn't gonna be long until I had to get back.
After all everything edible here wouldn't last me for me very long.

Being here for a few days all on my own gave me a lot of time to think about things.
The more I thought though the more the questions in my head multiplied instead of vanishing.

Neteyam had been so nice to me since the beginning and he didn't seem like the type to deceive someone so majorly. But then again there were people like Ao'nung who were just too good at manipulation.

So, was Neteyam using me? I wouldn't know for what he could possibly use me. But then again, why'd he be so excessively nice? Why'd everything gone so perfect the last few days?
And most importantly, why'd he like someone like me? As the eldest son of Toruk makto?
There had to be something going on I didn't know of.

My head was aching from all the thinking.

Just as the sun set, I cozied myself on my self made tree lounger and started drifting off to sleep.
Suddenly I was awoken by weird sounds of splashing in the water and...
People?

I shot up in surprise to see multiple Na'vi men enter the shore.
Ugh, I was caught. Too bad.

I decided to surrender myself.
As I walked up to them, the Na'vi men clicked their tongue cautiously as they tried to make out the person that stood infront of them in the darkness.
"It's me, Yui'Ki"
They nearly jumped on me as they dragged me away.
"A little bit more gentle please" I said, rolling my eyes.
Soon I was taken away on an ilu.

I wasn't ready for all the drama when I was back, especially with my mother who had no right to be upset with me.

And Neteyam? I had to be a little more cautious. I trusted him too blindly and our relationship was just too good to be true, honestly.

I was welcomed by many judgemental stares as the men dropped me off and quite frankly, I returned their stares.

"What?" I asked a girl looking me up and down and shot her the most agressive glare I could. She instantly looked away.

"Yui'Ki!" My mother yelled. Just as I expected my mother to hug me or to apologize she did something that no one expected.
She grabbed my hand with such a force, I felt my skin bruise under her touch.
That would surely turn purple.
I groaned in pain as she dragged me away.

Just as I shamefully followed my mother who still refused to let go of me, I met eyes with Neteyam who looked at me disappointed.

Why was he acting like the victim here? Or wait, let me guess, he's showing his true colors.

I hated this place.
And I hated these people.

When me and mother entered our room she slapped me hard across the face.
I felt the shock of a lifetime as I never expected her to behave like this.
My eyes teared up in pain and I hissed at my mother aggressively.

"You ruined our already awful reputation! You took every last bit of respect the people had for us! Now everyone really thinks you're a curse!" She screamed at me so loudly, I squinted my eyes in discomfort.

I teared up. Maybe I had gone too far. But then again, I was just tired of everyone treating me like I freaking murdered someone.

I looked down apologetically but I knew now it was too late. She was right, I took every last ounce of respect anyone ever had for us with my dumb actions.

My mother was still screaming at me but I only heard a sharp ringing in my ears.
"Shut up!" I screamed at her uncontrollably.
"If you hadn't cared so much about what the others think of us we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place!"
My mother looked at me in surprise.
