NÌNRRA CROUCHED BESIDE A SCARED KINÄ AND PLACED A HAND ON HER BACK. "Everything will be okay, little sister. I will protect you." Nìnrra soothingly spoke to the young child. Kinä nodded at her words and looked unsure but hopeful. Nìnrra saw Nì'awve coming over and after a small smile, she walked away.

She walked over to a nervous looking Neytiri and grabbed her shoulder. Neytiri turned around and threw her arms around the girl. Their tails wrapped around each other in comfort. Nìnrra pulled away and looked at Neytiri with a fond look,"Come, I will braid your hair. Jake will awake soon." Neytiri nodded at her words and they sat on the ground.

Nìnrra gently pulled the flower from Neytiri's hair and began braiding. She used extra care and attention, she finished the braids off with some beads. Neytiri placed a sweet kiss on her lips before walking away to watch over Jake. Nìnrra adjusted the bow on her back and strode over to Eytukan. "I see you. What are our plans for an attack?" She questioned and ignored Tsu'Tey's irritated look.

Eytukan motioned for them to sit down. Nìnrra pulled her bow off her back and sat in a crouch. She listened to Eytukan speak and input her opinion every once in awhile.

Upon hearing Neytiri's urgent voice, Nìnrra immediately stood up and looked to her for any danger. When spotting Jake awake she walked over to him and held his cheek. She pressed their foreheads together. "I'm okay, rara. But I have something important to say." Jake whispered and squeezed her shoulder for comfort. Nìnrra nodded at his words and moved to stand on the other side of him.

Jake turned to Eytukan and urgently spoke, "Eytukan,  I have something to say." Nìnrra's tail swished around anxiously and she glanced at Grace who urged them to listen. "Speak, Jakesully." Eytukan spoke. Jake stepped forward at his permission, "A great evil is upon us. The Sky People are coming to destroy Hometree." At his words Nìnrra tightened the hold on her bow worryingly.

The surrounding clan exclaimed and whispered at his words."Look, tell them they're gonna be here soon." Jake told Neytiri who translated his words. Nìnrra moved to stand in between Jake and Neytiri to comfort them both. She put her bow on her back and placed her hands on their shoulders."You have to leave, or you're gonna die." Jake continued.

Nìnrra's ears stood at the news and her tail curled around her thigh. "Are you certain of this?" Mo'at sternly questioned. Jake breathed heavily before speaking, "Look they sent me here to learn your ways so one day I could bring this message and that you would believe it." Nìnrra felt her heart drop at his words.

She dropped her hand from his back and felt her vision blur for a second. Her heart felt like it was chipping away and her ears dropped. "What are you saying, Jake? You knew this would happen?" Neytiri whispered and grabbed Jake's shoulder. She searched his eyes for any indication that he was joking. But she didn't find it. Instead she found guilt.

When Jake tried to put his hands on the girl's shoulders, Nìnrra scoffed and shoved his hand off. "All this time. You stood here and looked us in the eyes while you lied to us! You mated with us! Is that how far you're willing to go?" Nìnrra's anger and betrayal showed clear on her face as she shouted at him. Neytiri grabbed onto Nìnrra's arm for support.

Jake's eyes watered at her words and he blinked them back."Please, Nìnrra. Look, ag first it was just orders, and then everything changed." Jake desperately tried to convince the two hurt girls but it was no use. Nìnrra had moved away but still kept a hand on Neytiri. "Okay? I fell in love. I fell in love with the forest and with the Omaticaya people."
