Going In Blind || Tsu'tey x OC -Discontinued-

Chapter 3

With night falling, my anxiety increases. Being in my Avatar, yet being surrounded by darkness, frightens me, and reminds me of the sightless reality back at the compound.

Knowing that the best thing for me to do, is to get up into a tree, I begin to climb, the movement coming easily to me, as I trust my body to know what to do.

My hands grasp the vines tightly as I hoist myself up. Finally, when I feel that I am high enough up to hide, and still be safe, I stop. I look around, trying to find anything that looks familiar, or something that says the others are looking for me.

"Eywa, please make sure Jake is safe." I whisper. Grace seemed terrified of the Thanator, and if a seasoned Avatar Driver like herself was afraid, it didn't bode well for the Marine that never listens to his instincts.

The darker it got, the more I shook, my mind freaking out, unable to stop my body from making noise.

Suddenly, I see a light in the distance. Not a flashlight, but fire. Hoping that it's one of the others, I slowly climb down the tree, and start running in that general direction.

It isn't long before I find Jake getting attacked by a bunch of Viperwolves.

I grab the nearest stick I could find, and start whacking them away from him, not wanting to hurt them, just scare them away.

It isn't long before we are both overpowered by their numbers. "Eywa, Save us!" I shout, my arm getting grabbed by a Viperwolf's teeth. I hiss in pain, but it doesn't last for long, as someone else joins the fray, and scares them off. Holding my arm gently, I look up to see a young woman hissing loudly at the Viperwolves.

She looks at us both coldly, before picking up the torch Jake made, and dunking it in some water.

"Wait! Don't-" Jake starts, but it's too late.

Before I could even think of the darkness, the world around us lights up in what appears to be bioluminescence. Blue-green light surrounds us, lighting up the area just enough to light our way.

"Beautiful..." I whisper, once again amazed at this world.

The woman finds a dying Viperwolf, and kneels down next to it. "Forgive me, my brother." She whispers in Na'Vi, before stabbing it in the base of it's neck.

Jake, being his usual self, pipes up, "Look, um, I know you probably don't understand this. But - thanks. Thank you. I owe you."

The woman ignores him, bending down over the now dead animal and saying a prayer. "Forgive me. May your spirit run with the Great Mother."

"I would have been screwed if you hadn't come along - " She rises and walks away without looking at Jake or I. With one look, we both follow her, my arm still being carefully held to stop the bleeding. "Hey, wait. Wait! Where you goin'?" He asks. Running after her, making a lot of noise, Jake grabs his shoulder. "Slow down a second will you. I just want to thank you for killing those -"

She whips around and hits his chin with a well placed backhand swipe of her bow.

"Oh I like you. Do it again." I exclaim, smiling.

She ignores me, which she seems to do often. "Don't thank! You don't thank for this! This is sad. Very sad, only."

"Okay, I'm sorry. Whatever I did - I'm sorry." Jake replies, digging his grave even deeper. I sit back and watch, kinda amused by his abuse.

The woman gestures to the dead bodies of the viperwolves on the ground. "All this is your fault! They did not need to die."

"They attacked me. How'm I the bad guy here-"
