The Mute Warrior [James Cameron's Avatar Reader Insert]

Chapter Two

(Y/n) opened her eyes, looking around her. She was in her bunk, the music box from last night in one of her hands. She sat up and lowered herself onto the floor, leaving her music box on her bunk. She undressed and changed into a pair of jeans with a (f/c) sweater/t-shirt and slid on her boots/tennis shoes before going to the cafeteria for breakfast.

When she got to the cafeteria, she skipped to her parents, smiling as she sat in an empty seat between them. Across from her sat Doctor Grace Augustine, the leader of the Avatar Program.

"Hello, (Y/n). Are you ready for today?" Grace asked the young girl. (Y/n) nodded vigorously, excited. Today was the day. She was going to link with her Avatar.

"Now, honey, go get something to eat; you can't link properly on an empty stomach." The girl's father said before he watched her run to the long breakfast line.

Grace looked at the girl's parents wearily. "Are you guys sure she's ready to link with her Avatar? The moment she leaves those gates with you later on as you guys have planned, the Na'vi could find out at any moment and assume the worst." She stated cautiously. (Y/n) would be the second child to use the body of a young Avatar, completely different than what they usually saw of the adults. There are many risks.

"We won't let her leave the gates in her Avatar body until she's eighteen." The mother said as she drank a glass of pure water.

"(M/n), you know she'll try to wander. You saw how hesitant she was when she had to come back through the gates." Grace said before looking at the two.

"Then we will leave her with you and your students. It's our final choice." (M/n) said.

Grace looked at the father. "(D/n), you can't possibly-" She tried to protest.

"That's the last of it, Grace. She will learn with your students starting today." (D/n) said as their conversation ended and (Y/n) sat down and began eating her food.

(Y/n) tried to calm her excited heart as she began to walk to her link chamber, her mother next to her, reminding her what she was going to do.

"After you link with your Avatar, you will go through an examination on your reflexes- just wiggling your toes and everything. Then you will be changed from your gown to some decent clothes. Remember that, after you are changed, you will begin your first few classes with Grace." (M/n) said as they got to the link chamber.

(Y/n) took a deep breath before sighing and laying down on the soft foamy layer and laid her head back. "Just stay still and let your mind go blank. We'll see you on the other side." Her mother said before she closed the lid of the chamber. (Y/n) slightly freaked out a bit before she calmed down and closed her eyes, emptying her brain of any thoughts. Through her eyelids, she could see a blinding white tunnel as she felt her consciousness being pulled and she soon opened her eyes to be blinded by a bright light above her, two scientists' faces slowly coming into focus as they tried to talk to her.

Their voices were muffled before she heard snapping in her ears and a light flashed in her eyes as her senses were straightened. She looked around at the two female scientists before she slowly sat up, her thin legs out in front of her. She gently wiggled her toes as the scientists asked her to and soon slid her thin legs over the edge of the bed.

(Y/n) walked outside of the gates, a black waist-length t-shirt over her, a pair of knee length shorts, and no shoes to her request, as she was going to her fist class, her parents beside her to make sure she doesn't get lost on the first day. When they got there, she looked around and she saw Grace with two Avatars that were older than her as she cautiously began walking over to them. As the class was about to begin, she noticed a young group of Na'vi come into the school, one of them looking oddly familiar as she hugged Grace and spoke in English.

"Hi, Grace! I brought some of my friends for our lessons today." She said as she turned around and introduced the Na'vi children. ".... and the last are Neytiri and Tsu'tey." She said as she finished introducing everyone. Grace introduced everyone in the two older Avatars, who are Iris and Zanani.

"Everyone, this is Aviline Na'tav, one of the students here with us today. Now that we have introductions done-" Grace was interrupted before she heard (Y/n)'s mother clear her throat. "Oh! (Y/n), I didn't know you were here yet. Everyone, this is (Y/n). She just linked today, so don't pressure her." She said before she started introducing the concept of the classes. Soon the groups were separated into two- half of the class would go with Zanani and the other half would go with her and Iris.

(Y/n) walked with her group, which consisted of two Na'vi children, her, and the young Avatar that was introduced earlier. They were going with Iris and Grace to learn about the name of the plants to watch out for and what they will do if threatened. As the group began to walk to a group of , (Y/n) walked in the back of the group, next to the older Avatar, Iris. She looked up at the taller Avatar a bit before she looked back and saw that her parents were already gone. She looked back at Iris before she grabbed a small amount of the shirt the woman was wearing and gave it a gentle tug. The woman jumped a bit before looking down at the child, the young child looking nervous. The girl stopped walking and turned to the girl, kneeling down to her height.

"Um.. is everything alright, (Y/n)?" She asked quietly. The girl began to sign something but stopped midway as she noticed the woman's confused face. (Y/n) looked around a little bit before gently tapping the shoulder of the girl from earlier, Aviline, to ask her to translate the words that she was trying to say.

"Oh! Iris, she's asking if it was alright for her to hold your hand. She's just a little nervous because her parents aren't here." Aviline said with a smile. Iris gave a small smile before the (Y/n) cautiously held her hand. A little bit later, they got to the tall plants.

"Alright, class. Today, we're going to be going over the Chalice plant. After today, for those who stay here, you will be asked to do a report on the plant and turn it in tomorrow." Grace said before she began going over the simple things; which plant system it goes into, how many cells it has, and the many ways to identify them.

As the lesson ended, everyone was transferred to go to Zanani for their second class.
