TW:MENTION OF SUICIDE (for a threat not actually going to) figured I should add this just in case

"Oh y/n" Quaritch said through the mic.

I paused hearing him. "No," I heard neytiri yell.

I ran over to the edge if the forest to see what was going on. My stomach fell and I felt every inch of pain in my leg when I saw what was happening.

Neteyam was being held at gun point and knife point by two fake Navi humans. I felt a knot form in my throat.

"Quaritch," I said in a deeply angered voice, "let him go,"

"You know the deal here," Quaritch said, "you for him,"

"No, love," Neteyam said, "it is not worth it,"

Of course it is... of course he is. There is no way I could live with myself if I let him get hurt. I slumped feeling like this was a war we'd lose. I sat my head on a tree letting my anger build.

"I'll kill all of you," I said into the mic picking up my head and checking an arrow.

"Now sugar, you know that won't stop us," Quaritch said back, "next time we won't be so kind to keep him alive"

"Ahh," I screamed hissing.

"Times a ticking, you better make a choice," I heard through the mic.

All the sullys are staying quiet, we will get through this right?

"I'm sorry Jake, and Neytiri," I said softly into the mic standing back up from my slump. "I didn't mean to let you down,"

I walked through the edge of forest and slowly limped forward with my head hung low.

"Ma y/n," neytiri said quietly.

"Y/n, no! Do not surrender yourself, you will be tortured," Neteyam tried to plead with me.

I looked at him with sorrow in my eyes. "I'm sorry, I cannot let you get hurt,"
"Can I at least say goodbye," I asked Quaritch.

"I'm a nice guy so why not, but if you try anything there will be consequences," he said pushing the gun into neteyams head.

I turned to Jake and the rest of the family there and walked to them.

"I was not meant to be toruk makto, I'm sorry for my failure," I told Jake standing in front of him and looked him in the eye as tears started to swell knowing this would be the last time I saw him.

Jake pulled me into a hug, "you did not fail y/n, you are toruk makto," he squeezed me. "We will find you a way out just hang in there," he whispered in my ear so quietly I could barely hear.

Jake pulled out of the hug and put his hands on my shoulders starring in my eyes and nodded.

I could feel the tears getting heavier still feeling as if this was the end of me with the sullys.

I turned to neytiri who also had tears in her eyes. I gave her a hug, "you are a wonderful mother and thank you for taking me under your wing," I said with the tears finally falling.

Neytiri wrapped her hand around the back of my head and held me close, "don't give up or lose yourself, you are toruk makto, strong, smart, we will figure something out," she ended pulling us back apart. She kissed my forehead, "you are a daughter of mine, now until forever and I am honored with your sacrifice".

Last was Lo'ak, he was looking between his brother and I. I could tell they were trying to plot something. I grabbed Lo'aks hand and shook my head no. Loak looked at me with pleading eyes and I shook my head no again.

Lo'aks eyes started to get teary as well and I put my hands on his shoulders and our foreheads together. "You annoy your brother for me, and protect your sisters," I said slightly shaking him trying to make him smile.

"Y/n I can't tell you not to go but I can't tell you to go, you know they will torture you," Lo'ak said.

"I know, but I can handle it." I said making eye contact with him. I gave him a quick tight hug and turned to Neteyam.

Walking over to Neteyam I could see the hurt in his eyes.

"Don't do this, I lost you once I can't do it again please" he tried to bargain with me.

"Love, I can't lose you either this is the one way we both can stay alive." I looked into his eyes closing the gap between us.

I grabbed his face and kissed him longingly like it would be the last time. Chances are it may be the last time. I don't know if I'll ever see him again.

Neteyam kissed me back passionately holding my face like he was thinking the same thing I was.

I slowly pulled away and kept my hands on his face as he did to me. "Until we meet again my lover boy," I said with my voice cracking but smiling. "I see you,"

"Until we meet again love, I see you," Neteyam said putting our foreheads together.

Our moment was quickly ended with my being yanked away and Neteyam shoved towards the rest of sullys.  As we were pulled apart we grabbed each other's hand for a last second of touch.

Our hands slipped away from each other and there was a cold feeling in my hand.

"Alright, you've said your goodbyes," Quaritch said.

I pulled back for a second, "this ends the war right" I said and earned a nod saying yes from him, "because if I get a whiff that the war isn't ended or restarts I will kill myself and ruin all your research," I said sternly

"Wow girl, that's a bit extreme," he said smiling, "we've got her, head out," he said into his on mic.

Slowly we heard the war around us coming to a halt. "See," he said pulling me.

I turned one last time to see the Sullys. They were holding Neteyam back from coming to free me. After he realized in this moment there wasn't anything that could be done he fell to his knees and just watched as I got dragged away.

Quaritch put me on a plane and hand cuffed me to a seat. I gave him a death stare the whole way to wherever we were going.
