Reawakened (Neteyam x Fem reader)

Chapter 66: His gem

POV: First person, Y/n

"Why are you still here," I asked Quaritch. After I decided to sleep, I ended up back in the same forest with Quaritch.

"Hard to make a decision," he simply replied.

I hummed, "what do you think of what would your group do, without you," I walked closer to him.

"Nothing, I'm their Colonel," his pressed his lips, "can't do anything without me, even Lyle,"

I nodded and decided to look around to avoid the awkward conversation.

"How's the boy," Quaritch asked. Seems the 'boy' he's talking about is Spider.

"His face has become more downwards... Jake and Neteyam now knows," I replied, still looking at the forest.

"His wife is going murder the both of us,"he laughed, "man, what am I going to do,"

"What will they think of me, all of them... What will they think once I make my decision to... take a side of my so-son, his home," Quaritch asked staring at me, trying to find answers.

I smiled at him, "You know your allies and enemies very well, you will think what they think of you," I tilted my head.

He nodded his head, pleased by my answer, "will Spider be happy of the change," he asked again.

I scoffed, "I just told you, you have think of what they think," I crossed my arms.

"...."

"...."

"Well- I'm walking, Bye buttercup," Quaritch got up and left to walk in the forest.

"What's buttercup," I whispered among myself, turning to the other direction. Walking in the forest too.

I wriggled my fingers and legs, opening my eyes to look up at a Marius. Slowly getting up I saw Ronal sitting, breastfeeding her child. She didn't notice me yet.

I groan when a headache hit me. She heard this and turned my direction. Getting up she poured water into a bowl, "drink it slowly ," she said.

I took it and drank it slowly, "when did we get here," I asked with a raspy voice.

"Not that long ago," she replied, "rest here for a while, do not go on any physical activities," she got up, holding her child.

I hummed and looked at the sun and sky. When you're around the ocean, you can see the skies better than the forest.

Ronal took her leave and left me alone. I sighed, I was just in the forest walking, how did I came back without knowing?

POV: Third person

Ronal came in the Sully's Marius, giving the Oel ngati kameie sign, "She's awake, but is in needed of rest,"

The family was having there lunch, while Neteyam gasped and stood up, "Can I see her," he asked Ronal.

"You may but please don't be so loud," with that announce Ronal left their home and to hers.

Neteyam was ready to walk but his mother stopped him, "finish your food first, Neteyam. You are not leaving with an empty stomach,"

"Our lunch just started Neteyam, you will wait. Y/n is not going anywhere," Jake added on.

He groan and went back to sit down. His siblings laughed at his desperation.

"Someone's anxious," Kiri smirked, nudging Lo'ak.

"Tell me about it," Lo'ak looked at Kiri and giggled.

He hit them with his signature side eye, glaring at his younger siblings.

"So Neteyam... how was it? Were you scared? Were you starving? I'm so sorry that they had to feed you that demon food," Neytiri shook her head, pinching her son's cheek a bit.

Neteyam's face did not show any fear but a smile of sunshine, "it may seem shameful... but I had a great time,"

His mother eyes furrowed and so did his
family, with confusion. They were wondering. Wouldn't you be terrified being hunted by the sky people? What made it a happy time?

"What do you mean," his mother asked.

"Well.. throughout the kidnapping and hiding, Y/n was there to protect me and care for me...she was the one who made the escape plan. She was the one who got me fruit when I was hungry. She was the one who carried me when I was tired. She was the one who healed my wounds. She was the one who brought back funny and happy memories of my childhood. She was the one who I went fishing with. She was the one who painted my nails. She was the one who scolded me when I got shot...," he looked straight into his mother's eyes, "She is the one who saved me, reawakened mother,"

Neytiri's eyes spilled tears and grinned at her son's love for Y/n. And was grateful that Y/n had saved Neteyam's life. She hugged her eldest son. He hugged her back.

His siblings jaws dropped. Surprised how much fun he was having in the forest with Y/n. They were grateful too though. That Y/n was able to save him. That Y/n had given him a great time in the forest. For during Neteyam's death, one of his last words were 'I want to go home.' Neteyam seemed to find his peace in Y/n. His home. His pandora. His universe. His gem.
