Epiphany Of Eywa {Avatar & Avatar TWOW}

The wind takes us.

Eyve's POV:

Anabelle hadn't moved for a few minutes, her chest was steadily rising and falling in both bodies. My eyes flickered hundreds of times to her human self hoping it never stopped breathing. 

If I die in that body, I die in both.

Her words would replay in my mind like a broken record. I struggled to keep myself calm. Although somehow I managed to stay quiet while everybody sang in harmony. Their hums did nothing for my unsettled mind. 

But the exact moment I watched her perfect blue eyelids flicker open, it was like everything stopped. 

No more panic, no more stress. Just Belle. That was all I felt. 

Her human body shifted and twitched slightly. I was unsure whether it was gone or not. But then she sits up abruptly and my eyes fill with tears. 

She glances around like something was coming for her and when we lock eyes, sobs escape her lips. Not before I saw relief overcome her. She crawls to me before completely throwing herself into me. 

I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her as close as I can while stroking her back. She scratches at my back like she was still dying and digs into my skin.

Her entire body was shaking.

"Belle, calm," I try to tell her and furrow my brow when she doesn't.

"Anabelle." I say sternly and pull away from her holding her face in my palms. "You are okay, I am here," I tell her.

Looking at her face made my heart ache.

Tears were steaming down her face, her nose was red and her eyelashes were clumping together with tears. She sniffles.

"You're okay," she sobs and looks at me like I was some kind of miracle.

I go along with what she said, "I am okay."

She nods and repeats her words over and over while she looks into my eyes. She begins to slow her breathing and I smile.

Her eyes flicker behind me and she crawls away from me slowly.

My hands don't leave her until I cannot reach and even then I cling on until the last second.

I watch as she moves to Neytiri and Grace and pulls them to her suddenly.

Their contrasting reactions make a smile smear over my face. Grace embraces her immediately and strokes her hair while Neytiri becomes stunned.

She stays there for a few seconds before awkwardly hugging Belle back.

She whispers something to the pair I couldn't make out and I decide to hang back.

Neytiri just smiles at her words and Grace tears up slightly.

The trio pulls away, and all I see Neytiri say is 'you are one of the people'. My heart leaps.

She truly was. She was no longer burdened with two lives. She could now wake up with me, fall asleep with me and spend every single hour without worrying whether her other body was okay.

I saw how it affected her everyday. She was tired, complaining about negative situations in the Biolab.

But now that was gone. And now she was all mine.

People would finally see her as a Na'vi. Even if she had obvious physical differences, she was mentally, emotionally and spiritually one of us now.

That was all that mattered.

She calmed down not long after that, but I still felt worried. She promised me over and over she was fine, but I took her to a corner far away from the people. We walked for 15 minutes before we sat down and I instructed her to sit in front of me.
