Kidnapping & Getting Kidnapped

Akira's POV

We came across an opening. A small sort of building sat in the middle. It was overtaken by the forest: vines and plants grew in and out of it, smash windows made it look abandoned. An old suit that I recognized laid in front of the building. I read about it when I was studying about the suits used on Pandora's ground for humans. 

I walked towards the suit, brushing vines away from the side. I found a name. Quaritch.

I turned to the Colonel. He was at the building, checking. Then he made his way to me. He peered over my shoulder and looked at his name. I bit my lip, wondering how he would react. He sucked in a breath. He turned to Wainfleet and asked to do something with the dashcam or something. 

I peered into the suit to find remains. No doubt, those were the remains of Colonel Miles Quaritch 's human form. 

" Colonel," I called. He turned to look at me.

" Should we salvage these remains?" I asked. He walked towards the remains and grabbed the skull, removing the mask. He looked at it before crushing it to bits.

" That's dramatic," I muttered under my breath as I walked away. I examined a few bones of some creatures scattered on the ground. Then I heard a scream. It sounded like a young girl. I ran over to the sound and found a young girl in one of the men's arms. 2 boys raised their bows and the girl held out her knife. One of the boys was human. They hissed.

I tugged onto the young girl.

" Mate, she's a child, a young kid," I said. He grunted and shoved me to the ground. I clenched my fists and glared at him. I got up and huffed.

" Asshole," I mumbled. He glared at me, and I stared him down and held up my middle fingers. I found that the 2 boys staring at me. I gave them a weak smile. Both boys dropped their bows and were held down, so was the girl.

" Colonel, they're kids, probably same age as me," I told Quaritch. He didn't look at me.

" I don't care, these kids are valuable," he replied. I rolled my eyes as Wainfleet showed the fingers of the girl.

" Show me your fingers," he said to the na'vi boy. He held up his middle fingers.

" You're his aren't you," Colonel Quaritch smiled creepily. The boy hissed. I knew what he was talking about. These were the children of Jake Sully. Quaritch asked the boy where his father was in na'vi. Very bad na'vi.

I snickered and he glared at me. I choked back my laugh and hummed. Then they were held captive.

" What we doing?" I asked as I shoved the guy who was grabbing onto the young girl roughly.  He glared at me.

" You, enough!" I barked at him. Quaritch turned to my direction. I pointed at the women, the only female apart from me in the team. I gestured to the young girl. She nodded as they changed positions.

" Go easy," I said. She grunted but obeyed. I love being second in charge. 

The young girl stared at me, frightened. I smiled reassuringly. I didn't want anything to happen to them. But Quaritch is, not even listening to what I said.  Son of a bitch.

Hours passed and the sky turned a little dark. I stood near a tree, leaning on it. I was tired but still waited. I sat on a log and buried my face into my hands.

" What is it, kid?" Quaritch asked. I looked at him.

" Well, for starters..." I started, smirking," My ass is sore cause of waiting and I'm completely shocked how horrible your na'vi is."

He rolled his eyes, and the 2 boys smiled a little.

" You've got lots to learn Colonel," I said mockingly, and he walked away.

" Shut your little mouth, lass, before I hit you in the face," he said. I rolled my eyes.

" You're the one who will be in ICU once I..." I started, muttering to myself. Then I heard a call. A real Na'vi. Most likely to be the kids' mother, Neytiri.

I turned and saw a man, holding an axe as he knocked down one of the men. I looked at him and backed away. Jake Sully. It was him. He stood, not daring to kill a child.  I stood up. I turned to see the Colonel, busy. No one was paying attention to me. I backed away and ran before the shooting started. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the na'vi boy look at me escaping. He didn't say a word or alert anyone. That, I'm thankful for.

I heard yelling and ran further. Gunshots, screaming. I looked up and saw the kids running away. I ran further, jumped over logs and puddles. And suddenly, everything stopped. No more shots were heard. Shouting stopped. I backed away again before tripping over. I yelped and fell down.

" Ow," I grunted. I stood up before realizing I was in the presence of the family that just escaped and were reuniting with hugs.

" Shit..." I muttered as one of the boys grabbed me. I twisted, violently, out of his grasp.

" Don't touch me," I growled. I hissed at him. I rubbed my wrist. Then, the navi boy from earlier grabbed me and took out my gun and knife.

" Hey!" I protested as I kicked out. I hissed. These idiots. He stood behind me and grabbed my wrists. I head-butted him and fell to the floor, groaning. He stumbled and groaned.

" Ow!" he protested. I crouched down and grabbed my knife and hissed.

" Hey! Hey!" Jake said, " It's ok, we're not going to hurt you!" 

He was talking in English.

I looked at him, sarcastically. I stared at my wrist; a red mark was printed on it.

" Really?" I asked looking at my wrists. Jake glared at his sons before focusing back on me.

" She's ok," the young girl said in na'vi. She was clinging onto her mother's leg.

" She helped me when I was getting rough treatment."

I smiled at her before standing straight. I lowered the knife.

" Yeah, that's it, calm," Jake told me in English. I rolled my eyes. I spoke in na'vi as a response.

" I need to get back."

Then I heard the aircraft leave without me. Wow, thanks guys! So much for being a team.

( Conversations are now all in na'vi unless I say so )

" These motherfuckin-" I stopped when I realized the young girl. I bit my lips.

I sighed. " Nice to meet you, Jake Sully."

His eyes widened.

" You know who I am?" he questioned. I nodded.

" Yeah, I did my homework," I shrugged. " And I'm sorry for what happened earlier, that beast of a man really pisses me off, but too bad he's in charge, so I couldn't do anything about it."

 I turned to the girl and na'vi boy.

" Nah, it's cool," he said and grinned. I grinned back in return.

We arrived at a cave system in the Hallelujah Mountains. I hopped off Jake Sully's Ikran while they dismounted. Jake led me to a small building, looking very much similar to the abandoned one in the forests. Except this one was much bigger.

" Norm!" he called. A human rushed over and handed him two masks. Jake gave me one and I put it on. 

" This is Akira, she's an Avatar and is part of the humans that came last year."

" Part of the overgrown babies," I said, smiling.

" I'm a prisoner," I told Norm.

" Isn't she a little young to be an Avatar...and a prisoner?" Norm asked.

" I'm 15," I told him. 

" I'll come back to talk with her, but now I'll need to talk with Neytiri," Jake said before rushing out. He placed his mask on the table.

" Dude didn't even use the thing..." I muttered. I turned to Norm, raising a brow.

" Um, yeah...take a seat."
