An Ice Toa, But Human [Book 1/OG VERSION]

Sapphira yawned lightly as she woke up. She saw the sun slowly peeking over the horizon. 'Damn. I wake up early here like I do back home.' she thought to herself.

She attempted to sit up feeling an arm pull her back down into a chest making her heart stop.

She looked up at the face seeing Mata Nui was asleep and was holding her in his chest in his lap as he was sitting against the cave wall.

'Why the hell is Mata Nui hugging me in his sleep?!' Sapphira asked the bracelet through her thoughts."I'm not sure my child. Maybe cause he want's to keep you safe since he still thinks you can't defend yourself.." the bracelet said, guessing slightly.

Sapphira sighed lightly as she shook her head softly, "Good grief in the words of Charlie Brown..." She mumbled to herself quietly.

Mata Nui began to stir in his sleep making Sapphira freeze as her breathing stopped. 'WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?!?!?!?!?!!!!!' She yelled in her head, mainly to herself. "Just calm down my child and-" the bracelet was cut off as Mata Nui hummed softly as he woke up, opening his eyes.

Looking down he saw Sapphira awake and the dark blush prominent upon her face. He then realized their position and let go of her making her fall to the ground on her back.

"Sorry..." he apologized as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. She sat up to where she was sitting how a princess would on a horse. "It's alright. The bracelet thought it was because you wanted to keep me safe." she told him.

She stood up and dusted off her jeans, which went better than her hair. Mata Nui watched her. 'She's so beautiful.' he thought to himself.

"We're gonna need to get Ackar and Kiina up if we're gonna head to that cave Kiina talked about..." Sapphira mused aloud to mainly herself as she looked around the room of the cave, Kiina and Ackar still sound asleep in their spots.

Sapphira noticed a small club making a grin reach her lips as she grabbed Straxx's shield that was in the room and the small club.

She looked at Mata Nui who watched her, trying to figure out what she was about to do. "This is going to be something that happens in my planets entertainment." Sapphira told him as she brought to club up.

"I DON'T GET NO SLEEP CAUSE OF Y'ALL! Y'ALL NEVER GET TO SLEEP CAUSE OF ME!" Sapphira screamed/sung at the top of her lungs as she banged the club against Straxx's shield making a loud metal clanking noise.

Kiina woke up with a slight scream as Ackar shot up with a Yelp, immediately drawing his sword.

The two took notice as Sapphira stopped hitting Straxx's shield with the club and put the two down as she grinning like the Chesire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, Mata Nui struggling to fight off his laughter.

Sapphira looked at the Great Spirit. "Go ahead and laugh to get it out of you're system." She told him making him burst out into laughter.

Sapphira rolled her eyes with an amused smile prompt on her face, she then looked at the two Glatorian who has put their weapons away and were now calm.

"We got to get to this cave Kiina talked about before, remember?" Sapphira asked in a half joking manner as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Let's get packed up and head off." She smiled at the two.

The sun was fully up and they were in a borrowed Dune Chariot. Kiina was driving as Mata Nui, Sapphira, and Ackar hung on, Sapphira occasionally needing Mata Nui to keep her up from rougher than normal terrains.
