I sit up in my link and see my father. Across is Jake passed out and Grace with Norm in hand cuffs. "Dad? What is this about?" I get out the link furious. "Your friend Jake betrayed us. Just like my own daughter did." He shakes his head. " Cuff her too." He says walking away. "Dad?! No!?" How could he!? I'm his daughter!? They roughly cuffed me. "Not so tuff now princess." I growl at the guy cuffing me. "Go to hell!" I spit at him. He grips my arm dragging me out. I look over at everyone and sighed. Why did I feel like this was my fault?

I stand with the group in front of Parker and my dad. "Parker, there is time to salvage this situation..." Grace starts but dad cuts her off like an asshole "Shut your pie hole!" He shouts. "Or what, ranger Rick?You gonna shoot me?" She says sarcastically. " I could do that." Dad grins. "No, you can't!" I growl at him. He takes a step forward but Grace blocks him. "You need to muzzle your dog." Grace tells Parker. I grin at the comment. "Can we take this down a
couple of notches please?" Parker rubs his forehead. What the hell was he worried about? He was the cause of this. "You say you want to keep your people alive? Start by listening to her." Jake tells him pointing to Grace. "Those trees were sacred to Omaticaya in a way you can't imagine." I tell him. "You throw a stick in the air...it's gonna land on some sacred fern." Him and Dad laugh. "She's  not talking about some kind of pagan voodoo. Were talking about something real,something measurable in a biology of the forest." Grace smiles. "Which is what exactly?" Parker asks her. "What we think we know, is that there's some kind of electro chemical communication between the roots of the trees. Like synapses between neurons." I nod my head. "And each tree has 10 to the fourth connections to the trees around it.And there are 10 to the tvelfth trees on Pandora." I add next. "Which is a lot, I'm guessing." Parker says. Oh god, what a guy. I roll my eyes. "It's more connections than in the human brain." I say. Grace grins "Get it? It's a network. It's a global network, and the Na'vi can access it. They can upload and download data. Memories, at sites like the one you just destroyed." Grace says. Parker stares at us. And then laughs. "What the hell have you people been smoking out there?They're just god damn trees." He laughs more. "You need to wake up Parker!" I growl. " No, you need to wake up. " He spits back. "The wealth of this world isn't in the ground, it's all around us. The Na'vi know that, and they're fighting to defend it." I say. I look at my father. " My husband will fight for it!" My dad has fire in his eyes. "You rolled around with some damn monkey?!" He growled. "No, I shared a bond with a person! I became one with him. Because unlike you! I found love that I'm willing to fight for. As of now you have no daughter!" I back away from him. "If you want to share this world with them, you need to understand them and not just bribe them to leave the only place they know!" I growl. "I'd say we understand them just fine, thanks to Jake here. After you betrayed us first." Jake looks down. I touch his shoulder. They promised him something, I knew it wasn't his fault. "Doc, come take a look." Dad calls Grace over. It's Jake, sending them a video. "They're not gonna give up their home.They're not gonna make a deal either.There is nothing that we have that they want. Everything they sent me out here to do is a waste of time. They're never gonna leave Hometree." Jake says. "Since a deal can't be made I guess things get real simple, Jake." Dad grins at him meaning something bad was about to happen. I frown at him. "Thanks.I'm getting all emotional, might just give you big wet kiss." Jake sighs knowing he fucked up..... 

We all sit around waiting to see what happens. "This is how it's done.When people are sitting on shit you want,you make them your enemy and then you justify taking it." Jake says angry throwing the Na'vi book into a bag. Trudy runs up to us panicked"Quatrich has just rolled in the gunships. He's gonna hit Hometree." I cover my mouth. "My god, Grace we have to save them!" I frown.

I follow behind Grace as we rush to Parker. "Dr. Augustine, you guys cannot be up here!" A soilder yells at us. We push pass him. " Grace hits his hand away "Back off!"  We reach Parker "Parker, wait, stop, These are people you're about to..." he cuts her off "They're fly bitten savages that live in a tree. Look around. I don't know about you but I see a lot of trees." I move into view "They can move. Can you guys just please... There are families in there. Children, babies..." i plead with him "Are you gonna kill children?"Grace asks. Jake wheels up to us "You don't want that kind of blood on your hands, believe me." He thinks for a minute. "Let me try to talk them out. They trust me." Jake tells him...

Parker agrees letting us go. "Calibrate path, we're going in." Grace tells them. We each go to our  links. "Listen to me,you've got one hour. Unless you want your partners in there when the axe comes down you get them to evacuate. One hour." Parker warns us. We nod and lay back going through the link. 

When I wake up I'm in the tree laying down. I sit up and feel sick. I jump down and quickly make my way to where they are meeting. I hope I'm not too late.  I reach them and see them in the same circle.  I rush too Tsu'tey side running into his arms. He hugs me close. "You are awake. You worried me Bella." I sighed "I have to warn you of something! " i frown. He touches my face gently. "What is it?" he asks. Before I can say a word Neytiri and Jake come running over. "Father!Mother!" Neytiri calls to her parents. I look at Jake. Nodding for him to tell. "Eytukan, I have something to say." I look up at Tsu'tey. "Listen to him." i whisper. He sighs wrapping his arms around me. "Speak, Jake Sully." The leader allows them. "A great evil is upon us. Sky people are coming this way...To destroy our home. Destroy! " He looks at Neytiri. "Tell them they're gonna be here soon. You have to leave, or you're gonna die." he tells her. "Are you certain of this?" Mo'at asks. Jake nods. "They sent us- me here...to learn your ways. So one day I could bring this message,and that you would believe it." Neytiri faces looks hurt and betrayed. "What are you saying Jake? You knew this would happen?" she asks him. I feel Tsu'tey tense around me. He slowly looks at me. "And you? Did you know as well?" I sighed "Yes. At first, it was just my father's orders. And then, everything changed." I touched his face tears making my vision blurry. " I fell in love again with the only person for me. I fell in love with the forest. I learned about your ways and healed myself. This is my home now..." He looked away moving my hand from him breaking my heart. "Tsu'tey , I love you. Please. Im sorry I didn't tell you from the start!" I frown reaching for him. "I trusted you. And you played me like a fool." He growled. "No! I loved you from the start! I did this to protect you!" I cry. "Trust me now, please. If i told you, you wouldn't love me you would treat me as a enemy!" He looks away from me. "If you told me it would change nothing. Unlike you, I was honest with you from the start. I loved you even though you were my enemy. Even though it was forbidden!" He yells now. "I betrayed my people because I loved you! It was for nothing." He turns away from me as tears fall down my face. "They tried to stop them!" Grace yells. The leader points at us "Tie them up." They go for us all. "No! Please! We are trying to help!" I beg. Mo'at stops them from coming to me. "This one. Do not be rough. She is with child." I felt my heart sink to my stomach. I looked at Tsu'tey and saw his face change. He rushed away leaving me.....I looked at Mo'at "Your mistaken, I can't be. I did it once and that was a day ago." She grinned "Our bodies are different than your human one. If Eywa gives you a child on first mate then it has been fate. " She places a hand on my stomach. "I can feel a life in there. Three to be exact with you. Its to bad they will not see light." They bind my hands. "You have to go, They are coming!Run to the forest!They're coming!" Grace yells being dragged away while i walk in silence wrapping my head around my new fate....
