TRUST - Lo'ak x OC

09

' HELLO? LO'AK, KXILYÄ? ' Spiders intruding voice called, as she grumbled against Lo'ak's skin and pulled away. She felt her cheeks heat up as Kiri gave her a look, and Lo'ak huffed.

She could remember his touch, and his breath against her skin like it was currently happening. She took in a deep breath, her eyes flicking from Kiri and Spider. She landed her eyes on Spider, who was looking between the two.

' What? ' She broke the silence, as he snapped back into reality.

He blinked. ' What was that? '

Lo'ak stood up. ' What was what? ' He asked, as his braids brisked over his shoulder. He had taken his braids down from their usual ponytail a little while back.

He narrowed his eyes at the two. ' That.. weirdly intimate hug. Looked like more than a hug though. ' He mumbled.

She rolled her eyes briefly at him, before her ears pricked up at a sound in the distance. A scream. Kxilyä furrowed her brows, stalking towards the door as she roughly opened it, air hissing into the building. Spider fumbled for his mask, pressing it onto his face as he clicked the bottom of the mask securely on his face.

Fire.

Fire everywhere, swallowing the trees as they tumbled down in loud crashes. She gasped, watching as a bulldozer crashed down more trees.

' No! ' She cried as she stumbled backwards, unable to keep herself up. The tears came out before she could hold them, falling down her face as they stained her cheeks. A sound came from her throat, more like a groan than a cry, as she covered her face with her hands. When she stumbled backwards again, someone had caught her.

She didn't care to know who it was, as she leaned into them, more cries leaving her throat as the sky people lit fire to everything they could lay their greedy hands on. She could hear another crack of a trees roots, as it fell to the ground in a thud.

It had felt like her heart had broken in two, a deep ache in her chest that split her in half. She had no more fight in her, no more love in her heart. The voice whispered in her ear with reassuring words, as she identified the voice to be Kiri. Kiri stroke her hair, as she let out sobs, gasping for air.

This was her home. The one thing she can call her own and they were destroying it.

' Dammit! ' Lo'ak growled from beside them, his ears pinned to the sides of his head as he watched the destruction of their home. ' We have to go back to hometree. ' He gasped out.

Kxilyä didn't know how to respond. She couldn't form the words, and she couldn't think of a possible response. She had stopped crying, and was simply numb, staring into the fire. Flashes of the school flickered in her vision, and her fathers scorched back. She could remember his screams.

' Kxilyä? ' Spider asked, stepping forward towards her.

She didn't respond. Her gaze moved towards her shaky hands, as her lip quivered.

Spider placed a hand on her shoulder, his eyebrows furrowing. ' Don't touch me. ' She mumbled in a whisper, her hands closed in a tight fist. Her nails digged into her skin, as her knuckles turned white.

His hand squeezed her shoulder, ' But I- ' He started.

But he was cut off by Kxilyä throwing her fist, smashing his mask. The glass cut her fingers, blood seeping down her wrist as she hissed in pain.

' Kxilyä! ' Kiri gasped, as Spider heaved when he breathed in the Pandoran air. Kiri picked him up, as she raced towards the shack.

' What the fuck was that?! ' Lo'ak shouted, anger swelling in his chest. What shocked him was Kxilyä's deadly stare. She looked unknown, no longer herself. Lo'ak's face hardened at her gaze, as she stared him in the eyes. ' What.. ' was all he could say, his sentence cut off.

Lo'ak walked forward, grabbing her hand as she sucked in a breath and moved away. ' Don't touch me. ' She said in a whisper.

He complied, taking a step back as his ears flopped down. She turned towards the sky, howling out as she called her Ikran. He appeared around the corner, landing beside her as she jumped onto his back, flying into the air.

While she breezed through the air, her hair whipping behind her as the sharp air stinged her eyes. She heard Lo'aks Ikran behind her, but she didn't bother to look.

All she could think about was how good it would feel to pierce her spear through Quaritch's skull, and hear his sweet screams of horror and pain.

Her eyes scanned the area as she flew towards Hometree, the fire scorching the trees. She could feel the heat, and see it in the air, as smoke breathed out the trees below.

She could feel her heart break once again, as tears clouded her vision. The wind caught the tear that fell as soon as it begun rolling down her cheek. Her lip quivered, as she forced her eyes infront of her and away from the tragic scene below.

In a matter of minutes they had reached Hometree. She landed on the branch, jumping off Kxi as she climbed down towards the platform. She found Neytiri, tears streaming down her face as Jake whispered reassuring words to her.

' Mom, Dad. ' Lo'ak gasped, as he jumped down behind her. Jake looked up, and nodded. ' What do we do? '

Jake's gaze softened, as he hesitated. ' I don't know, son. ' He finally whispered. ' I dont know what to do. '

His voice broke. Jake sully, Toruk Maktow, didn't have a plan. And this could very well lead to their downfall.

' What I do know is that there plans to be a transportation. We're attacking it, and stealing the weapons. ' Jake said sternly. We all nodded.
