Little Mr Perfect

trouble awaits

He doesn’t want to get up when his mom wakes them for school it’s just going to be the same as always, so he stays in bed as long as he can before his mom drags him out of bed, he gets dressed und heads out with his siblings, their dad drives them to school this morning.

Halfway through the school day Neteyam gets the feeling that something bad is going to happen and makes sure his siblings keep close to him during lunch. Later on their way to class they hear shots ringing through the halls and two men walk around looking for someone, Neteyam recognizes the two and shoves Lo’ak and Kiri in a storage closet to hide them there. “Are you sure you got this right?”.” Of course I did, he said Sully’s kids are here”. Neteyam hears them talk und wants to run off as one of the guys grabs him by his braids and pulls him back ” Look at that, I told you, this is Sully’s oldest kid!”.” He looks just like his bitch of a mother”. Neteyam tries to get out of the grip but hisses in pain as the other pulls his hair tighter. “What do we do will him?”. “Take him with us, Quaritch will love this”. Sirens are heard outside, looks like the principal called the police. “ Well now Sully will know he’s back”. Neteyam bites down on the arm of the guy that holds him back, which causes him to shortly let go but the second he starts running he feels a sharp pain in his side after hearing a gun going off. He runs and manages to loose them by hiding in an empty classroom and the police finally arresting the two. “Fuck…”. He hisses in pain as he lifts his shirt to look at the damage, he only got grazed but it still hurts like hell, he takes some deep breaths to calm down before putting on the jacket he had around his waist. He heads out in the Hallways, meeting an officer that takes him outside to his siblings and family. Neytiri looks him over “Are you oke? Are you hurt?”. He just shakes his head “Thank Eywa you’re ok”. Jake looks at them, he is comforting Lo’ak and Kiri, who is crying.” Wh- Why were they after you ?”, he asks and Neteyam tries his best to hide his discomfort “Qu-Quaritch… send them…”. Jake’s eyes widen as he shares a look will Neytiri who hugs Neteyam tighter. After everything got sorted out with the police they head home, there the first thing Neteyam does is head straight to his room locking his door and patch himself up the best he can with the small first aid kit he got stored under his bed, then change into Fresh clothes. He unlocks his door after getting rid of the evidence that he’s hurt, he hears his parents fight downstairs.
He stays in his room till dinner. Jake sighs “Listen up… This will be a big change for you but we’ll be moving. It’s not safe here for us”. “But dad! What about our friends and Grandma…" Lo’ak interferes “Lo’ak … It’s for your safety, with Quaritch being out there none of us is safe here”, Neytiri tries to reason him, she doesn’t want to leave aswell, her family and people got refuge her after the war against Quaritch’s people 18 years ago, Jake was part of that before he deserted to safe Neytiri and her people after falling in love with her. Neytiri and her people come from one of the Indigenous tribes. Quaritch got severely hurt by Neytiri and Jake and now he’s after them for revenge. “It’s final… I’ll have to make a few calls but we’ll move in about a week”. They head to bed fairly early.

Jake makes sure that Norm accompanies the teens to school and drop them off and pick them up later just to be sure over the next days, they pack all their belongings in boxes and slowly the house gets empty. Neteyams wound got slightly infected but he keeps it hidden to not bother anyone with this. Todays the day they’ll head off to their new home, Norm is helping by driving the truck with their stuff. Lo’ak and Kiri are sitting in the back row while Neteyam and Tuk sit in the middle row. The first few hours go by pretty fast, the teens mostly sleep given that they started their journey early in in the morning. Neteyam hasn’t been feeling well due to leaving his wound covered and mostly untreated the whole time, during the drive the light fever he has gets worse und his cheeks flushed a little due to the fever his breath starts to get labored, Neytiri notices that he’s not doing good “Jake, stop at the next rest spot!”. He calls Norm und tells him hat they’ll take a break.
As soon as they stop Neytiri gets out of the passenger seat und gets Tuk and her car seat out of the car so she could access Neteyam better, Jake takes the other three a bit away from the car. “What’s wrong with tey?’, Tuk asks worried” I-I don’t know maybe he’s just sick”.

Neytiri checks on Neteyam, worried by the high fever, she notices a small spot with blood on his shirt, Lifting it up she spots the bandage he used to cover up the wound und it being soaked with blood, old and some new, he didn’t change it the day before, she takes it off to see the infected wound. She looks outside to spot Norm. Jake took the kids to the gas station to get some snacks and distract them a little.” Norm!” he gets startled by the worried yell, he walks over as Neytiri gets out of the car and lets him have a look at Neteyam ” Fuck… there’s not much we can do right now, get the med kit from the truck its underneath the passenger seat the least we can do is clean and dress he wound!”. Neytiri hurried to retrieve said item and hands it to Norm who opens it and gets some stuff out, he puts disinfectant on a clean cloth “Sorry Buddy”, he says and starts cleaning the wound which makes the boy hiss in pain but he remains unresponsive Norm puts fresh bandages over the wound, he gets out of the car to let Neytiri in the car with Neteyam letting the younger ones head rest on her lap. Norm tells Jake that Neteyam needs to get treated in the hospital, they switched up the seating arrangement so Neytiri stays with Neteyam,Kiri sitting in the front and Lo’ak and Tuk in the back. They drive as fast as possible but its still a good hour drive. Neytiri brushes her hand over Neteyams head as comfort, she gets more worried the longer drive takes.
