☀Chapter 7 ☀

It's been 3 days since I was snached by the creature and so much had happened in this time.

I named the beast a Nanator. Simply because its not a Thanator. I also gave her a name or rather she told me her name, Lil'tah. Lil'tah also explained her whole life to me. How she had been hunting with her children when a human ship had falled from the sky and in an attempt to save her children ahe had sacraficed herself.

Her story had me in tears long before the end. On the end Lil'tah had explained how she had then gone to meet Eywa and that Eywa was upset that she had died so young and by something that could've been prevented.

So Eywa brought her back into the land of the living but because her body could not be saved Eywa offered her a different option. The body of a creature that had also died the same day at the same time. Lil'tah explained that her soul and the animals had somehow connected in death and here she was.

She also told me how Eywa had expressed that a Skywalker, that would be is Naví imposters, would come to make the difference in the brewing war. Apparently Lil'tah had identified me by not only my stars but also by the band on my upper arm that I had not known was there until she had mentioned it.

I must admit it had taken me about three panic attacks and a heavy crying fit before I had found out the whole story after all I had needed to make Tsaheylu before Lil'tah could tell me her story.

Now here we are both Lil'tah and I traveling crouched towards a flock of Prolemuris, just like a natural huntress Lil'tah and I approached from opposite sides. My job being to scare them towards her when she would then kill a few and we would get some food because I can tell you this Avatar body gets hungry.

With a swift jerk of her head I jump up from my position letting loose a primitive high pitched shriek which caused all the creatures to shoot up from where they had been lounging and take off towards Lil'tah just like I had predicted they would.

"Lunch is served" I hummed as I happily bit into the cooked piece of meat.

✴ Maríe ✴

Three days. Nimah has been lost in the forest for three days and on top of that she's injured as well. For three days I've not left her side as she lies asleep in her pod. Dr Augustine said yesterday that if she doesn't wake up on her own today that they were going to pull the plug on her pod thus forcing her to come back to us.

I hope it works. If she's not dead yet, I'm pretty sure she's going to have some pretty crazy stories to tell us. Sighing I push myself from my seat. I suppose I should go make myself decent for her return. She's always hated it when I lose control of myself like this and I definitly don't want her to see me like this. She'll never let me live it down. The thought alone brings a tiny smile to my face.

On my way to our room, our very empty room, I pass a room full of scientists all focussed on Nimah and her brainwaves that they say, are behaving extraordinarily. Whatever that means. Moving on I also pass Max to whom I offer a wave a pathetic smile that I'm sure looks more like a grimace than anything else. Eh... It's the thought that counts.

Once in my room I immediately head staight for the bathroom. I never realised how much I had needed Nimah before. Now my days just seem empty and I wonder how I had lived without her in my life at all. We've been together forever, since diaper days. I've never felt so alone. Probably because I never have been so alone.

We've just always been together even when we're upset with each other we still found comfort in being together. I sound like I'm going through a bad break up and honestly I'm ok with that. I miss her and that's fine. I just wish this hole in my heart didn't hurt as much as it does.

I hate how much time I have to think. My thoughts all seem so destructive and negative. I can't help but have a bad feeling. There just seems to be something different in the air today.

Shower. Check.

Hygiene stuff. Check

Pee. Check.

Clothes. Check

Do I feel better? Well I definitly feel clean...

With nothing else to do I go back to where I've been camping out and it seems I'm not the only one. Nimah's bed is surrounded by scientists as well as Jake, Max and Norm. Dr Augustine is no where to be found. It would seem as though I'm the last one to arrive to join the party.

"What's going on?" I whisper shuffling until I'm next to Max. "She didn't wake up" He answers huffing as he runs a hand through his already messy curls. It looks like he's been doing that for a while now. "I'm glad to see you're looking better" he whispers back shooting me a small smile, one that I finally feel I can return. The spark I see in his eyes makes it totally worth it.

"So they're pulling the plug?" I ask my eyes going back to focus on my best friend. "Yes" Max sighs just as all the scientist's jump back about three feet. There seems to be a bit of hysteria going on at the front. "Get me a ventilator!" I hear a doctor yell from somewhere in the middle of it all. "Someone get me a shot of adrenaline!" "Or two!" "Heartbeat 60...54...48...32"

The shouting seems to bounce off every corner of the room. "We're losing her!" And then there's the dreaded beep. The one beep you never want to hear in your life. "She's flatlining!" A doctor gasps to my left.  My heart seems to shatter. Faintly I'm aware of a scream piercing the air, soon followed by a slight stinging in my arm and Max pulling me out of the crowd. Gasping I clutch at my chest as the world around me seems to fade in and out of fuzzyness.

"It's just a little sedative, you'll wake up in an hour tops" he whispers placing a gentle kiss on my forehead. Everything feel surreal and put of focus. Everything except the arm I can see hanging our from under a white lab coat.

"Time of death 14:32"

If only I had known that the pain would get worse. I wish we had more time together. Twenty-seven doesn't feel like it's long enough to have had her. I feel robbed. I feel like dying. Would she be upset if I join her?

And then the world tipped into darkness.

Hi guys!
Well that was unexpected...
