The wrong star

Become the enemy

Quaritch doesn't have the same mercy for me as he did with Spider but it is true that I also endured a little more than he did.

"This is useless, we might have to beat it out of her" the woman says and the thing slowly stops circling me.

I taste my blood dripping from my nose on my lips and I'm afraid I might go bling if I close my eyes, I feel lightheaded and my body hurts.

"Up" The soldier appears in front of me, there's three of him actually.

I try standing up but I stumble and fall to the floor.

"Mind if we start the beating now?" the one that called me cupcake earlier asks.

"Let me try this one again" I hear Quaritch say.

I brace myself as I expect him to fucking pull me by the hair again but to my surprise he pulls my arm and then places it over his shoulder, helping me stand up.

I know the lady is giving some other orders but I can only focus on my legs or I'll fall down again.

"Well, not only did you take a beating out there, you're also about to pass out due to the air here so, I'll give you a mask but only if you talk to me in English. understood?"

I nod.

"Understood?" he hisses.

"Yes" I answer.

"Very well" he hands me the mask and I lean on the table and take a deep breath with this thing.

My head still feels weird but at least I can breath better.

"Where's Jake Sully?" he asks.

"Out there" I answer.

He smirks.

"You and that fucking boy... why are you so loyal to him?"

"He's Toruk Makto... he's our leader" 

"Okay, leader. And so you are part of their family too right?"

"All the forest people are family" 

"Oh come on, don't start with that crap, you know what I meant." he says shaking his head.

I hate him... but I must answer.

"He's my uncle. Neytiri is my aunt, you remember her right?" I say and show him my fangs.

He slits his eyes and walks closer to me.

"And what the fuck do you know about that?" 

"We all know how they defeated the people from the sky"

"I put up a hell of a fight against those two blue circus animals" he responds.

I have no idea what half of what he said means but, I'm sure he was trying to make some kind of insult.

"You know... you're a different type of demon" I say.

He chuckles.

"A demon..."

"Yeah, I've seen people taking Na'vi bodies... Jake for example. He gave up his regular form and prayed to Eywa to be reborn as one of us, but you're not like that"

"and what am I precious?" he asks.

"Empty" I reply and he laughs.

"You're not even alive, you're... you're... I have no idea how they did it, but you carry the name of someone dead and pull the strings in a Na'vi body"

I notice the hair in his neck standing up and he shivers if only for a second. I smile.

"Listen here you little shit" he suddenly charges at me and pins me against the table, his hands applying pressure to my arms as he holds me there.
