part 3

When Akaia woke up the first thing she did was go and visit Mo'at as she promised. The Tsahìk observed the wound and performed tedious tests on Akaia to ensure that she was healing properly. After a hour of being poked and prodded her grandmother had finally declared that she was doing better then she had thought.

"Does that mean I can ride Sar'zoo now?" the Tsahìk rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Nope. Not yet, I have tasks I need you to help me with." Akaia sighed as she stood from the ground.

"What do you need grandmother?" Mo'at turned and chucked Akaia a woven satchel.

"I need you to collect some Yarra root, for my
ointments." The Tsahìk said as she turns back around observing her copious amounts of herbs and ointment.

"But grandmother, Yarra root grows near the battlefield. You know my father doesn't allow us to go there." Mo'at giggled and turned back around to face Akaia.

"Well I guess it can be our little secret."

Akaia had only been to the battlefield once before. That was when her and Neteyam had stumbled upon it while exploring. When they got back they were lectured for the whole day.

Akaia skilfully jumped from branch to branch
with hustle in her step. She needed to be back before eclipse. As she was approached the old battlefield she had tried to recall were abouts the Yarra tree was located when she heard voices.

"Kiri!" Akaia's head snapped towards the sound which happened to sound remarkably like Tuks voice but it couldn't be Tuk, right? She should be no where near this place and neither should Kiri.

"Kiri!" Another voice which sounded like Lo'ak spoke. Akaia hissed as she jumped off the branch she was standing on and began looking for them.

The voice's got closer as she climbed through the trees and roots.

Suddenly the voices became more hushed which made it harder for her to hear. She growled as she continued searching for them.

She heard a rustle in the bushes to the left of her where she could see tuks crouched body besides Kiri. Akaia tuts before climbing down the tree and and making her way over to them.

Kiri notices Akaia before she reaches them. She rushes over to Akaia with a finger on her lips signaling her to be quiet. Akaia looks at Kiri in utter confusion as she crouches besides Tuk who wraps her arms around Akaia's waist. Kiri points to what she was looking at previously.

Akaia's eyes widened as she sees the dream walkers rummaging through the wreckage of a battle suit. They weren't just any dream walkers though. They were military, carrying guns with bulletproof vests. Panic started to seep through her veins as she looked around for Lo'ak.

"Kiri, we need to go. Where is Lo'ak we need to leave." She whispered frantically as her eyes search the bush for her youngest brother.

"He and spider went up ahead to get a closer look." Kiri winced as Akaia hissed.

A rustle in the bushes next to Akaia put her into panic mode as she unsheathed her knife and got into a fighting stance ready to protect her sisters.

"Woah! Chill sis its only me and spider!" Akaia exhaled in relief and grabbed both of there arms pulling them close to her.

"We need to leave now Lo'ak, im not playing around this is extremely serious." she said as she gripped his arm.

"I know, I know I just gotta call this in to dad first." He said as he snatched his arm back from her.

"Okay I understand, but we should get to a safer position Lo'ak."

"We are fine here." he said reaching up to his com to contact dad. Akaia rolled her eyes.

"Devil Dog, This is Eagle Eye, over." Akaia leaned closer to loak to try and hear what her father was saying as she left her com in the Tsahìk tent by accident.

"Eagle Eye, send your traffic."

"I've got eyes on some guys, they look like avatars but they are in full camo and carrying AR's. There are six of them; over."

Akaia exhaled slowly as she began bouncing her leg. She was scared. Not just for herself but for her family. She looked around frantically to make sure no one was sneaking up on them.

"Whats your pos over?"

Lo'ak inhaled before turning on his com. "We are at the old shack."

Jakes reply was quick. "Who's we?"

"Me, Spider, Kiri, Akaia and," Lo'ak paused "And tuk."

Akaia felt Tuk tuck her head into her stomach, Akaia sighed as she fiddled with the girls hair.

"Son, you listen to me very carefully. Pull back right now and do not make a sound just get the hell out of there. Move, copy?" All of the siblings plus Spider silently begin to move.

"Yes sir, moving out."
