Home - Jake Sully (HIATUS)

Three

Early in the morning, when the villagers were still dreaming in their own little safe haven, the Sully household was already bustling with activity.

Just like any other family field trip, Jake woke them up earlier than usual and told everyone to pack up things that they had still lying around in the pod and immediately put it outside the marui to tie them up to the ikrans.

Time like this brought forth Jake's military training, Tawn dared to say annoyed her to no end.

She didn't like it when Jake nagged on her and rushed her to get things done. Sometimes out of spite, Tawn would deliberately slow down her movements just to rile Jake up. However, it would always backfire since she would end up in a very compromising position with Jake.

Tawn was packing framed pictures that is sitting on top of a makeshift table that Jake and Neteyam made on one fine afternoon.

Tawn smiled sadly, tracing the frame of the picture. Her index finger tracing over the shells and flowers that sat on top of the wooded frame, she remembered this was Tuk's creation.

She gazed at the picture of Neteyam and Lo'ak standing beside their tsurak with big smirks on their faces. This was the day they finally became metkayinan warriors.

Tawn couldn't believe how big they were getting. Both men had their father's physique, making them more buff than the usual Na'vi men. Tawn giggled slightly when she remembered what Tsireya once said to her, she told Tawn that some girls created a group dedicated in watching the boys train as a warrior.

A group of peepers.

The memory elicited a slight huff of air from her.

The next photo Tawn picked up was of her and Jake. It was one of her favourites, she made the frame herself, and she used beads and pearls to decorate it, creating a beautiful pattern with the combination.

She remembered that moment, it was Kiri's idea to take this candid picture of them. When Tawn learned about her pregnancy, she told Kiri before everyone else, and she came up with the idea of taking a picture of Jake's reaction to the news.

She could clearly tell the look of surprise on his face. His bright yellow eyes were wide in shock and disbelief, and his mouth was agape showing his fanged bottom teeth. While hers held excitement, her smile was covered by her hands, and her cyan eyes were sparkling with happiness.

Tawn put the photo on top of Lo'ak and Neteyam's carefully on the small basket she had prepared for the journey.

The next photo was of Kiri and Tuk holding Jake's hands at the beach. She remembered this day. They were having a picnic that one sunny day. Spider and Tawn were in charge of guarding the food, Lo'ak and Neteyam were racing one another on their tsurak and Tuk, Kiri, and Jake were making another sand castle.

When they were done, Jake, Kiri and Tuk stood there watching Lo'ak and Neteyam race and then Spider had the idea of taking photo of the three of them. He explained it would be so cool because the setting sun would make a silhouette out of the three of them.

If Tawn was honest, she didn't understand a thing Spider told her, and that was why she told spider just to take the photo, and the result was something she had never seen before.

"Do you need help, Mom?" Neteyam asked from behind her.

Tawn smiled at her oldest son, "You don't have to."

"I want to," he said, sitting beside her and packing some decorations into the empty bag that lay beside Tawn.

Tawn chuckled at him, scooting over to make space for her oldest child. Tawn and Neteyam packed their things quietly. Occasionally, Neteyam would point out some old pictures he had forgotten about, and Tawn would always listen to him recount the memory he had of that day.
