Be mine Tsu' Tey

Chapter 3

"Beauty? Is that you?"

I turn my head to see Mo'at. "What is wrong my child?" She says as she slips into the water. "Before you became mates with Eytukan did you ever have an eye for someone else?" She looked at me shocked, "I did but the thing is it was Atukan who I mated with before Eywa. Not the man I was told too." She says looking at me softly, "You have fallen for someone who is destined to be someone else's."

I look at my reflection, my piercing green eyes shine bright like emeralds, seeing that I became so different since I've came here. I look at her and give a nod, "I thought Eywa had this plan for me, but I'm digging my own hole I can't get out of. For he only sees me as a skxawng and nothing more." She looks at me as if she could see who it was. "You just need to let Eywa guide you. She'll bless you a great one. Just trust your heart." She says touching my chest where my heart lays.

I heard a twig snap causing my head to turn. "Who's there?" Mo'at speaks strongly. It was a child. "I can't find my mommy. She was getting fruit and now she is nowhere to be seen." The child cries. I quickly get dress and walk to her, "Where at youngling?" I say softly. She pointed in the direction of the woods. "I'll bring her home." I say. "Be careful, Eywa will guide you." Mo'at says gently. I give her a nod and snag a bow and a couple arrows. I also snatch my knife and put it at my thigh.

I run past Tsu' Tey who yelled for me but I ignored him. I ran in the direction where the gatherers would go get the fruit or herbal leaves. I get and see a bunch of them freaking out. I touched one's arm and said, "What happened here?" "The Pack of vipers chased Tarya  ."  The female pointed in the direction she ran.

I ran in the direction and saw her hiding in the tree. One of the dogs spotted me and growled. I swung at the dog and charged at them all. "AAAAH!" I shot one and shot another. One tackled me but I got on top and stabbed it. I snatched my bow and hit one more dog and the all ran. I hissed at them all.

I looked up at Tarya who was shocked but slowly came down. "Your daughter was worried." I say as I hold out my hand. She takes it and puts her forehead on mine, "Thank you." I smile and pull away. I grab her hand and say, "Let's get you back home." She nods faintly then she drops. "Tarya!" I turn her over and see a giant gash on her back. I pick her up and carry her. "Srung!" I holler as I get to home tree.

Tsu' Tey looked at me with discourage. I glared at him. Getting Tarya to Mo'at her blood was dripping onto my arms. "Mo'at! She's hurt!" I holler. Mo'at got to me quickly, "What happened?" "Viper dogs attacked her, but I was able to get to her in time." "Sa'nok!" I turn to see the young girl running up to me with her mother in my arms. Mo'at hollered for the girl's father and he was a big brute and he took Tarya from me gently and said, "Thank you for retrieving my mate."

I give him a nod. Jake runs up to me and touches my shoulder, "Are you okay?" "Yes i'm fi-" "What do you think you are doing?" Tsu' Tey growled. "He's checking on me, calm down." I snapped. Neytiri walked up to Jake and whispered something to him. "I'm going to wash myself off." I say and walk past Tsu' Tey. I grumbled to the bathing area and clean myself off. "Jealous much. My brother was just checking on me." I snorted then looked at the sky, "Eywa, I need your guidence."

I felt my heart rip into two. "Krasota?" I turn to see Jake. I wipe my eyes making sure I hadn't let a tear fall. "Sis, what's wrong?" He says sitting beside me. "Jake... Why is it me that falls for the wrong ones?" I say my voice cracking. "What do you mean?" Jake puts a hand on the back of my neck. "I fell in love, but he only treats me as a child." I draw my knees to my chest. "You like Tsu' Tey?" Jake says surprisingly. I nod, "Yes, but it'll never happen him and Neytiri are together." I say softly.

I then heard someone clear their throat. I turn to see Neytiri. I look at my reflection and wipe my face. "What is wrong sister?" She asks as she steps up to me. "No... Nothing." I say and try and walk past her. "I know you are sad, but please don't walk away from us," She gestured to her and Jake, "We can help you." She says softly. "I'm fine I promise, sometimes I wish you were my teacher instead of Tsu' Tey." I say flatly. I walk past her and head for the horses.

The normal male came up to me in joy. "Hi boy. I know if we click you'll feel my sadness, so please don't feel that. For we need a good ride." I connected with the horse. I breathed softly, then got on his back. We started trotting around. "You know what? I don't need a mate. Who would love me anyway." Realizing the horse stopped I laid my head on it's neck and sighed brokenly. "Let's go to the river." I say and we go that way where the other horses are at.

Before getting to the water I see a horse got its back leg stuck. I stopped the horse I was on and got off. I quickly walked up to the horse and stuck my hand out, "I'm gonna help you, so, please don't kick me." I say softly. The horse just snorted and I quickly but carefully got behind it.

I saw it was stuck on a vine in a knot. Cutting the vine off the horse's hoof he walked forward a little and looked at it hoof. I walked up beside it. "There you go boy." I smile. I started walking but noticed he was following. When I get to the opening I see Tsu' Tey. I did the motion that meant 'I see you.' He did the same thing.

"Where were you?" He ask somewhat stern. "Clearing my head since you apparently love getting on my nerves." I say almost in anger. I sighed and kept walking with the horses. Then felt a hand on my arm. I turn and see Tsu' Tey has a hold of me. He had a different look in his eyes, they were upset. I sighed and turned to him. "I'm sorry for the way I'm acting, I'm just fighting a battle within myself."

Tsu' Tey looked at me softly. "What do you mean Krasota?" I was shocked he called me by my name. " I have something called depression and when I get mad or upset, I blame myself instead of anyone else." I look up at the horses in front of me. "You don't need to do that to your self." I hear Tsu' Tey say. I look at him, he was closer than usual. I look at him. His tail swished and softly gracefully touching my leg. I breath in heavily. "You are ready for the hunt." He says touching my cheek.

I lean into his soft touch, "Are you sure? I don't want to mess up on the hunt." I say softly looking away. "You won't, you'll do perfect. I believe in you." He says calmly. "Can you train me some more before we go?" I look up at him.

"Yes."
