Intertwined

The Creature

unedited

There were Na'vi children, smaller than him, huddled together in the roots of trees. He counted three of them, one of them standing in front of the other two as if trying to shield them from the danger.

He hid behind a tree, hoping to access the situation before just running in and probably getting them all killed.

The thing attacking them was tall compared to them but terribly ugly. It was all colors of muddy gray with jerky movements in comparison to the natural grace of the Na'vi and animals he has crossed in his time here. It had hands like them only with an extra digit attached, with a huge upper body that led down to hulking legs.

To say he was confused would be an understatement. This-this thing didn't fit in the world around it, it stood out so sharply it hurt his eyes.

The thing made a movement, shoving his arms forward in a threatening manner towards the trapped children. In its hands was another odd contraption that brought back a sudden burst of memories that ripped through his mind.

They were all quick flashes with these weird Na'vi like creatures that were tiny and warm colored screaming and crying, with flashes of blood pooling in his vision. In between the screams he could hear sudden loud bang-like noises before the screaming was gone, snuffed out.

When the flashes of memories were gone, which only lasted a couple of second, he knew without a doubt that the weapon in the things arms was powerful and would easily kill the small children still crying.

He burst form behind his tree, with the thought of planning left in the dust. The kids were in dire danger and he couldn't just sit around and wait for the right moment, they might be dead by then. So with no other plan than to attack he let out a war cry and charged.

The thing turned toward him at his cry, and with its front facing him he could now clearly see the face of the creature. But instead of a face he found another being inside of it, like one of the pink creatures from his flash of memories. It was covered by this weird protective covering that was see through, glass, his mind supplied for him. It made him pause in his pursuit for just a second before he remembered the situation and continued.

He was guessing it was the element of surprise that allowed for him to knock of the thing. It created a loud bang throughout the forest when it hit the ground, letting out some weird crunching noises. He hissed in its face, his teeth bared in a snarl with his hair hanging down having fallen from his ponytail during the run. He was crouched on top of it, his tail swishing back in forth in agitation with his ears almost lying flat on his head.

When the strange creature inside lifted it arms as if to throw him off he reacted on instinct.

He started throwing punches over and over to the glass, the clear material keeping the creature inside of the thing. He didn't feel the pain of his hand, nor did he see the blood started to flow from his knuckles.

The glass started to crack and within a few more vicious punches he broke through. His hand slipped right on in, the broken and jagged pieces cutting up his arm and lodging themselves inside of him arm. He didn't feel anything, just a blind hatred for this thing that was attacking mere children. He didn't realize that he was just a child himself in the eyes of the Na'vi, barely bigger than the ones he was saving.

As his hand was about to wrap around the small pink being to yank it out it started convulsing, letting out gasps of air and flailing its arms about. He pulled pack in surprise and in that split second the creature took hold of a smaller version of the weapon from inside without him seeing.

He bent down closer, his eyes locking with the small watery brown ones of the thing, its life slowly seeping from its eyes before he heard a sharp noise and felt pain flare in his stomach. The creature let out its last breath as the young Na'vi sat back on his heels and slowly looked down.

He didn't really feel it all that much, and he guess he could chalk it up to shock. The wound was small, but was bleeding profusely. He started to climb to his feet with a little wobble, pressing his hand tightly against his wound trying to stop the blood flow.

The young Na'vi turned toward the other children seeking them out from the trees and found them standing about 15 feet away. They were just staring at him with their mouths wide open and eyes big. He jumped off the chest of the creature before making his way over to them. He had just made it to their side when they broke out of their trance-like states and rushed toward him.

There were in fact three of them, two girls and a boy if had to guess by their clothing. The tallest one, taller than him by a couple inches stepped forward and reached out a hand. He realized they were speaking, all of their mouths moving at a rapid place but all he heard was a light ringing in his hears.

Blackness was starting to edge around his vision, the pain starting to flare up from his wound because of the adrenaline leaving his body that was keeping it at bay. The last thing he saw before the blackness took hold was the still outstretched hand of the Na'vi girl and her terrified face.

Hope this makes up for the last cliffhanger, even though it's kind of another one. Sorry about that, just feels right!

Thank you all soooo much for all the comments and views, it really helps me keep writing!

I promise you will find out the name in the next chapter, which might be in the Na'vi's point of view or Harry's. Tell me which one y'all would want for the next chapter! It can even be both point of view if you wish.
