𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 | neteyam x oc

58.

It was night, everyone was having dinner around a campfire in a cave. It's been four days since we arrived at the forest and I am so deeply in love with every trees, every rivers, every rocks and every creatures. Troops are going on a reconnaissance trip every morning to find where the Avatars are hiding but they still haven't find anything. My uncle tells me I'll be able to go when I'll learn how to perfectly climb and ride a Direhorse. So Neteyam wont be going to the reconnaissance trip tomorrow morning to teach me how to ride a Direhorse.

We were eating a soup made with vegetables and its funny how we do not have vegetables on the island but they have thousands varieties here. And their vegetables be bussing. I love it. This is probably the best thing I have ever eaten. I was sitting between Tsireya and Kirri. Lo'ak was sitting next to Tsireya and they were having fun telling each others stories. Tuk was sitting in front of me, talking about her favourite creatures in the forest.

"Oh! The thanator! I love that one. It's so scary but so beautiful at the same time. Mom always tells me to run if I see one.

- What does it look like?" I ask curiously.

I was really interested in all of this. I want to know every creatures, every type of trees, every varieties of vegetables, fruits and fish. I want to know everything about the forest like I was born there. Tuk smiles, noticing I was really interested in what she was saying.

"It's black and so big! It's very agile and strong! There is a lot on the south of the forest." She smiles.

She is suddenly being called by some of her friends, she turns around and face them. I love to see how she has friends here because I have never seen her with kids her age on the island. She was always hanging out with us. I bet she missed her friends very much. She turns to me and speaks up.

"I have to go, see you tomorrow Rhea!

- Bye Tuk. Be careful." I say as I caress her hair.

She chuckle before waving at me and starting to leave towards her friends. I turn to Tsireya and Lo'ak who were still talking to each other like two lovebirds. I turn to Kirri and see her sorting the vegetables she doesn't like in her soup. She is too busy right now. I sigh and turn back to the fire as I observe it, sipping on my soup.

I wonder where is Neteyam because I didn't see him. He is probably sitting somewhere else with his friends. I start looking around, hoping to see him but nothing. Until I see a familiar silhouette laying against a wall. I smile. I watch him talking with his friends. They were five in total. A tall girl, three other boys and Neteyam. They all looked the same age as Neteyam.

He turns his face around as if he was searching for someone, and his gaze rests in mine. He immediately smiles before raising his eyebrows and waving at me, as if he wanted me to come. I frown before pointing at me to make sure, and he simply nods with a chuckle. I bite my cheek nervously before standing up and walking over them.

When I am close enough, I can see some of his friend's gaze resting on me. I shyly smile before walking over Neteyam, his hand slides on my back and he speaks up.

"Guys, this is my girlfriend, Rhea." He says.

I wave at them, they all wave back as Neteyam introduce them to me.

"Rhea, this is Yona, Tenitu, Xyno, Deno and Sheleno."

Yona was a very tall girl with straight hair and beautiful eyes. She seems very kind. She smiles at me and I smile back. And I am amazed by how tall she is, almost my height.

I turn to Tenitu, he was very small and had a cute chubby face. Xyno was very very tall, taller than Neteyam, he had long braided hair, Deno was very tall too and very muscular compared to Xyno who was skinny. And Sheleno was Neteyam's height, muscular and had short braids. I smile at them.
