Chapter Thirty-Three - I Knew You'd Come

"Chris!" Vialo screeched, running straight into his arms. "I knew you'd come!" She cried, tightened her grip around Chris.

"Nick! Matt!" Tsovey cheered, running at the two men.

"Hey little one." Nick chuckled, rubbing Tsovey's back. "Are you guys okay?" He asked nervously. Tsovey only nodded in response, before jumping over to Matt. Nick let out a sigh of relief before looking over to Sakire who was still in shock. "Sakire, are you okay?" Nick repeated, taking hold of her hand.

"Yes...I am alright." Sakire replied meekly. She looked like she was about to cry and or pass out.

Nick smiled lightly, and made his way in front of Sakire, engulfing her in a warm hug. "Let's get you guys home, okay?" Nick suggested in a calming tone which seemed to help Sakire relax a little bit.

"Yeah." Was all Sakire could say, before falling into Nick's arms.

Vialo stayed in Chris's arms for a few moments, before reluctantly pulling away. "What about them?" Vialo questioned, looking back at the six extremely nervous natives behind her.

"We're here for all of you." Lisa replied, walking into the small, cramped room. "So, these are your Na'vi friends?" She questioned, with a kind smile. "It is nice to finally meet you." She added.

"It is nice to meet you as well." Vialo replied in kind.

Lisa let out a soft chuckle, before looking over at the group behind Vialo. "Do you speak English?" Lisa asked.

"A little bit." Amirä replied, holding one of the younger males' hands tightly.

"There is a lot that I would like to explain, but we sadly don't have the time. We need to move quickly if we are going to get you guys out of here." Lisa exclaimed. "It will be stressful and scary, but you have a lot of people behind you. Our goal is to get the nine of you out of here." Lisa paused, giving the room a sincere smile. "Are you ready?" She questioned. Amirä looked at her for a moment, analyzing Lisa. As if she was trying to make sure there was no deceit in Lisa's words.

"Amirä?" Vialo exclaimed, gaining the older woman's attention.

"Okay." Amirä agreed, looking back at the group surrounding her. "Ayoeng zene kivä." She ordered. Her brother was about to speak, but instead just sighed in agreement. Amirä turned back towards Lisa and nodded. "We go." Amirä proclaimed.

"Alright." Lisa agreed, and with that the group ran out of the armory through the secret passage through the walls, eventually being spit back out into the main hallway. "Jason, can you see us?" Lisa exclaimed through her headset.

"Yes, the plan is underway." Jason replied. "You guys need to hurry." He barked.

"We need to pick up the pace." Lisa stressed, looking back at the group.

Without thinking Chris picked Tsovey up and placed her on his back. "We need to run." Chris ordered. Before long the thirteen of them were racing through the hallways.

"We're almost there! It's just around this corner." Lisa proclaimed. "Wait...someone's coming!" Lisa hissed, pushing everyone back into a small storage room. "Shh, stay low." Lisa cautioned. They stayed low and silent, but the minutes were beginning to pile on and it was becoming more than they could afford.

"Lisa, you need to go! Your window is closing." Jason shouted.

"Fuck...change of plan." Lisa hissed. "Get them out of here Chris." She begged, stress plastered on her face.

"No way! You're coming with us." Matt growled.

Lisa looked at Matt for a moment, placing a hand on his cheek. "I'll get to you guys as soon as I can." Lisa choked out, giving him a tight hug.
