chapter 4

present day (na'teya pov)

i arrive back to my hut trying to hold my tears in, i never thought i could feel so alone in the world until i lost both my parents and my home.

the pain and sadness was overwhelming, i felt like i was suffocating. i tried to keep it together, but it was becoming too much. my heart was racing, my breathing was shallow and i felt like i was going to die.

i felt ty'wrens arms wrap around me and bring me into his chest.

"it's going to be okay, you've still got me and i'm not going anywhere" he whispers

"it's not fair, i didnt mean for this happen" i sob

"i know, i know it going to be okay, tsmuke (sister)"  ty'wren assured "im going to be with you every step of the way, you won't be alone"

i pull out of the hug to look at him

"what? no you can't, you have friends and duties here, you can't just leave" i cried out

"you're crazy if you think i am leaving you to travel the forest on your own, you know what is out there and who is looking for you, family always comes first" he stated

i looked at the ground and fiddled with my thumbs, "we have to start packing then"

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

i finished packing and all my bags were on zuri, i was tightening the ropes holding my bags went i went to hold my necklace my mother made me. it was gone.

"ty'wren i forgot something i will be right back" he nods as i run back to the tent looking for the necklace when i sense a presence behind me.

"na'teya you cannot leave, you just can't" za'tary said softly

"i don't have much choice za"

"please don't go teya, i- no we need you" ze'i sobbed

ze'i and i always had something between us since we kissed at a party with the other teenagers of the clan when we were 15. we decided to push away for our friendships sake and za'tary since she always had a crush on him. but sometimes it felt like their was something there.

i was about to reply but my brother cut in "we are going to another village, it is where my dad is from before he met my mother and joined the kekunan clan"

"what village" ze'i asks

"the omaticayan village" he replied

"why?" i asked

"jake sully lives there, he knows about the sky people better than anyone. if we are in danger by the sky people, he will know how to keep us safe" ty'wren explains

i wasn't fond of jake sully. he was the one who brought the war here. my parents loved him however so i was willing to give him and his family a chance. except lo'ak.

between last night to now i had grown to dislike lo'ak sully, im don't know why since my parents death wasn't his fault at all.

i just couldn't blame myself for there death, it was to painful. if lo'ak hadn't of been there making all that noise i would've never been caught.

i wanted to object, i wanted to speak my mind. but i knew that being with jake sully and his family would keep ty'wren and i safe.

"hurry up, it is almost eclipse. say your goodbyes and meet me at the ikrans" ty'wren orders

i nod and turn to za'tary and ze'i and walk over bring them in for a hug, i wanted to cry but i didn't.
