The Devils Hair is White | Aonung

.5

Tsireya leads us towards our new Mauri as we all carried our things. Aonung refused to help carry anything so now him and Roxto just walked behind us.

Tuk giggles as she jumps up and down on the bouncy material beneath our feet. She stops when an animal comes out of the water and nudges her.

"Tuk let's go," Kiri ushers her forward.

"Just up here," Tsireya assured us after we've been walking for what feels like forever.

A child runs towards us with excitement and I immediately smile. But her mother quickly pulls her back, whispering no.

Rude

I brush it off and continue walking when Neteyam turns to the left and the long bow he was carrying attempts to swipe at my face.

I step back, stumbling as I do so and dropping one of the boxes I was carrying.

"Fucks sake," I curse, moving the things in my arms so I could pick it up.

I'm about to pick it up when a green hand reaches out and picks it up for me, placing it in my hands and walking away again.

"Dick," I mumble under my breath.

We finally arrive at a large Mauri and Tsireya stops in front of it. "This is for you, your new home."

"Yea this will work, this is great, it's nice right?" Jake asks excitedly.

We all step inside the Mauri, some of us more disappointed than others. Some of us being me. Neytiri sighs heavily as she drops the rug she was holding on to the ground with a thud.

"Alright everybody fall in," Jake asks us after we've put everything down.

"Family meeting, remember?" Neteyam grabs Lo'aks arm roughly.

"Come on, take a knee, let's go," Jake kneels down.

I sit between Tuk and Lo'ak, standing instead of kneeling because I can't be bothered.

"I need you kids on your best behaviour, I mean it. Learn fast, pull your weight, don't cause trouble, you got it?" He stares directly at Lo'ak.

"Yes, sir," Lo'ak nods and Neteyam chuckles softly.

"I want to go home," Tuk cries.

"Oh tuk," Neytiri says softly.

"Tuk, this is our home now," Jake holds her hand as he smiles softly at her. "Now we're gonna get through this, if we have each others backs, alright?"

"What does your father always say?" Neytiri asks her kids.

"Sullys stick together," they all say weakly.

"That's right, Sullys stick together. Now this time with some feeling," Jake smiles at us.

"Sullys stick together," They say louder.

I don't say anything, I'm not a sully so why would I?

"T?" Jake looks over at me, silently asking.

"Sullys stick together," I nod my head, smiling.

"Now go, Tonowaris kids are waiting for you," He stands up, smiling at us.

We all turn around to leave but Jake calls out my name, stopping me. I walk back towards him with a small smile on my face.

Shit

"Am I in trouble? Look I didn't know who his mum wa-,"

"Your not in trouble," Jake chuckles. "Who's mum?"
