But What If || Neteyam x reader

Leave It Behind

      "Your leaving!" When Mr. Sully said he had news for you, you thought it would be about learning the Oatikayian ways. "We won't be leaving for another week or so we can help you adjust-" you couldn't believe what you were hearing, a week! "Why not take me with you?" He looked taken aback for a split moment. "No, I'm only taking my family." You scoffed at him in disbelief. "What about Quaritch? Are just going to run away?" Mr. Sully's soft expression faded away. "He's here to hunt you if you think he's just going to give up your wrong."

"I'll take care of my family. You just need to focus on yourself." He started to leave your Marui, his anger was seething off of him. You had hit a nerve, you knew you would by bringing up Quaritch but you didn't want to be left here. What if Quaritch saw you? If you went with the Sullys you would be safer. Never completely safe but safer. "Mr. Sully wait...." He barely gave you a second glance as he walked away. You started pursuing him immediately. "What if Quraitch sees me?" Mr. Sully was paying minimal attention to you. "Tell him you were taken, prisoner." You rolled your eyes, in your short time here you could tell they didn't take prisoners. They killed on sight for their survival. "Even if he believes that he'll think you and your family are still in the Hallelujah Mountains. They know your base is here." Mr. Sully paid you no mind now, his jaw remained clenched. "Mr. Sully please, I'm begging you to bring me with you. I'll be helpful, I'll adapt fast, and I'll stay out of your way. Just please bring me with you." He sighed before stopping to face you. "Quaritch doesn't know you're here, if you just stay here there should be no problems. Quaritch would probably think your dead by now anyway." You opened your mouth to speak again but Mr. Sully was done with the conversation. "Just go eat breakfast." He pointed in a vague direction and left you. You would have followed him again but he quickly started talking to someone.

Shamefully you walked in the direction he pointed towards. You didn't know exactly where to go but you let your nose lead you. You hadn't argued much after Mr. Sully brought up breakfast partly because you hadn't eaten since yesterday. You could hear your stomach now the realization that you hadn't eaten in so long finally dawned on you and now the desire to eat was consuming you. "Careful there, we don't need you stumbling over some expensive equipment." Your head whipped behind you to reveal one of the Sully kids. "Kiri! I was just uh- on my way to find breakfast... I have no idea where I'm going." Kiri smiled at you, it was the first time she had given you a real toothy grin. "Come, you can eat with me."

Eating with Kiri was more invigorating than you expected. She was eager to answer any questions you had about the Omatikayian. She was more eager to tell you about Eywa. Listening to her talk about their deity was interesting.

Eywa was an important part of Na'vi life and hearing more about Eywa made you feel relaxed, Kiri just had a way of speaking about her that entranced you. It all sounded so mystical you just couldn't get enough of listening to her ramble on. That was until a certain male Na'vi came over. "Kiri, shouldn't you be helping mother prepare for the trip?" Turning around there was the only Sully child you didn't know the name of. Kiri sighed as she stood up taking your Spartan Leaf that had once carried your food. "I was just on my way, brother." He was closer in his approach now, you started to get up with Kiri as she stared at her brother ready for him to speak up again. "Would you like my help?" She looked at you with a smile. "Of course, come before we are given a lecture from my older brother." Kiri gave her brother a quick face before taking your hand and leading you away. You gave a little glance back and saw Kiri's brother give what you could only assume was his resting bruting face.

Kiri brought you into their Marui and brought you to the side of the Marui with hammocks. Her mother entered soon after both of you. Your strategy of convincing Mrs. Sully started to plummet into your stomach upon seeing her. Involuntary your hand raced up to your ear where a gash had been left. The arrow she shot at you yesterday had been a warning but the gash in your ear felt as if it was more than that. You stayed silent and looked at the ground. "Here, take this." Kiri handed you some cloths before grabbing some tools. She then dragged you over to her mother. You kept your eyes glued to the ground not daring to look her in the eyes. Whether it was in shame or fear you couldn't tell but she was the Sully you hadn't even spoken a word to.
