(2148) Crystal's POV
I'd just turn seven on the weekend. Dad surprised me with the best gift ever. He got permission to have my own Avatar built. For when we go to Pandora. Dad may of been a teenager when I was born, but he always tried his best to give me a good life. Completing high school three years early and got his degree online.
Then when I turned four he got accepted into the Avatar program. During his three years of training he taught me Na'vi and read a book on Pandora Botany to me every night before bed. As well as tell me stories about his twin brother, my uncle Jake. Though I've never meet the man and never will as dad & I leaving for Pandora Saturday.
Anyway it's Thursday and I am in class at school when a man in a black suit appeared. I recognized him as a guard from where Dad did his Avatar training. "Miss Sully, pack your stuff" Mrs Cranberry tells me. Nodding my head I do so and walk over to the man.
"Follow me Miss Sully" he states. He leads me outside and we get into a car. He then drives us to a concrete building. I look around confused as he stops the car and we get out. We enter the building and I hear two men speaking while I notice a guy in a wheel chair. He was watching a box burn.
"Your brother represented a significant investment. We'd like to talk to you about taking over his contract. As well as guardianship of his daughter" one of the man states.
"What's going on?" I ask confused and they all turned to face me. I finally get a good look at the man in the wheel chair. "You look like my dad" I state. "Are you his brother?" I ask and he nods his head making me smile. "I'm Crystal, your niece. It's pleasure to meet you Uncle Jake" I say smiling.
"Nice to meet you" he says.
"Why are we here? Where's my dad?" I ask the men. They all look at each other before Uncle Jake rolls towards me.
"I hate to tell you this on our first meeting, but my brother. You're dad is dead" he tells me. "He was killed and now I am going to raise you" he adds. I start to cry and sit in his lap burying my head into his chest as he hugs me close. While I whimper, the other men left.
"I never got to say goodbye" I whimper.
"Neither did I" he says sadly. "I have to pack for Pandora, but we'll go collect your stuff first" he states. So we leave the building and call a cab, that takes us to my dad's old apartment. I grab my packed bag for Pandora as well as the necklace my dad gave me last Christmas. Before Uncle Jake and I go to his place.
"Where will I sleep?" I ask as we enter the apartment.
"You can take the bed, I'll sleep on the couch. Also you don't have to go to school tomorrow" he states. I nod my head and look around the apartment. While he packed a duffle bag. "How old are you?" he asks me.
"Seven and you're twenty-two" I state.
"Yeah, Tom told me about you in our letters and whenever we spoke on the phone. He was right, you do look just like your mother" he states. I give him a smile, I never knew my mother as she died when she gave birth to me. But Dad never held it against me, saying I was his miracle on this dead world.
Which is why we wanted to take me to Pandora. He wouldn't me to grow up on a planet full of life unlike him. Sure there'll be no one else my age and I'll be the youngest human on Pandora. But I didn't care as long as he was there. I guess now Uncle Jake and dad's friend Norman will have to do. Besides this is the beginning of a new life for me, on a new world.
"So are you excited to go to Pandora?" he asks me.
"I am, though I wish Dad could of seen it before he died. Uncle Jake, can I ask you a personal question?" I ask him. He nods his head. "Dad said you were in the army, is that why you're in a wheel chair?" I ask.
"Yes, I was parallelized by a spinal injury. I don't have the money to fix it, hence the chair" he states. "I'll order us some food, what do you want to eat?" he asks changing the subject.
"I'm not a picky eater" I tell him and he nods his head. Picks up the phone and orders food. While I set the coffee table with two plates, cutlery and a two glasses. I poured water into both. When the food arrived Uncle Jake paid for it and then served it. We prayed before eating. Then called it an early night. So I brushed my teeth and changed into my pj's. I look at the bed then at Uncle Jake.
"Uncle Jake, can you sleep beside me? I don't want to be alone tonight" I say quietly. He nods his head and pulls himself onto the bed. I lay down beside him on my side snuggling into his side. A blanket covers us and we wish each other goodnight before I fell asleep.
