~❁ You belong with me ❁~ NeteyamxAonung

Learning to understand you

~ Neteyam's POV ~
I was talking with Roxto when Aonung spoke up. "Hello monkeys I suppose I have been quiet for a while" "I didn't notice supposed how big your mouth is" I laughed. Lo'ak spoke up, "I am genuinely sorry for what I have done" "yea ig I am too" "say why don't we go hunting beyond the reef?" "Sure man!"

~ Aonung's POV ~
I wasn't really planning to go out there and hunt, I was just going to leave him out there for a while and show him who was in charge. We hoped on ilus, I tossed him my crossbow and we rode beyond the reef. We got off of our ilus and jumped into the water. I could tell he was surprised by the different varieties of fish their sizes colors and features, he seemed so interested in happy. I sometimes liked to come out here on my own just to enjoy the fish and the nice water, but this ain't about me right now. Well it is but it's also about me proving I'm better.

We stood by a rock underwater, Lo'ak aimed the crossbow at some fish and shot it, while he continued to aim the crossbow again I began to sneak off smiling to myself, I hoped on the ilu and started to ride off. When I got back to the village I hoped off the ilu, my friends ran to me wondering what happened, me being prideful I explained how I left Lo'ak beyond the reef.

We started walking up into the village and Neteyam asked me where Lo'ak was. My friends told him I left him beyond the reef by himself laughing to each other. I thought he would run off to find his brother or laugh too. Of course it was only for a while. Instead he grabbed me by braid yanking me and walking me around like a dog, we walked around the village and I was embarrassed by the amount of eyes laughing or just staring at me. He found my father and his, he pushed me still holding my braid. He point at them,

"tell them what you told me!" My face annoyed I swatted his hand off my braid, it made me feel weak for someone to have that kind of dominance over me, yet I did nothing to surpass yet avoid it. I told them I left him beyond the reef but only for while, "Aonung do you know what you have done, do you know the killer payakan is out?! GO FIND HIM NOW!"

"Aonung I got them!" I turned around to see he had left me. Why did I trust him.. I went above the water and got on my ilu only for it to start freaking out and I got tossed back into the water, my ilu swam away in fear. I looked to see a shark like creature swimming towards me a tried to swim away from the creature but it was fast, I pulled out the knife I had from my pouch, I pointed it at him and he ran into it, the creature let out a blood screaming shriek.

It hit me with its head and I started to fall deeper into the sea. The biggest creature I've ever seen in my life came out of nowhere and fought the other carrying me to safety, or at least that's what I thought as I was unconscious. I opened my eyes to be on the large fin of this animal. It's eyes spoke to me as it made sounds I could understand. I noticed a black thing stuck in its fin, it presumably looked like a tracker. I rubbed it's fin. "Did they hurt you?" The creature made a loud whale like whine. "It's ok, I'm gonna help you, you saved me too.!" I tried to pull the tracker out but did not succeed.

I got on top of its fin pulling as hard as I could I pulled it out and it was slightly heavy, I threw it into the ocean. I sat on it's fin and put both my hands together. "Friends" the creature sounded ecstatic. "Yes that's right we're friends". Me and the creature ended up swimming through the ocean together, I did flips off of its fin and much more. Before I began to wave and leave. I didn't know where I was but then there came Reya, Neteyam, and Aonung on ilus. Reya helped me into hers as I glared at Aonung but he made no eye contact with me. Reya cried as she hugged me, "I was so worried about you!" I smiled and hugged her back.

We rode back to the island and were once again met with their father and mine, they pulled us inside. "Do you know how dangerous it was to leave him beyond the reef on his own?!" Reya look genuinely worried. "Tsireya!" Reya sniffed as if she was about to cry and made eye contact with her father. "You disappoint me daughter." "I-I- father.." she shut up before saying anything else. "Sit" Me and Neteyam sat down. "Sit!" Aonung and Tsireya hurriedly sat down. Aonung kept his head down making no eye contact with any of us. "Aonung you are next heir you cannot be making such poor choices." "I have nothing more to say. You both disappoint me.." Tsireya ran away crying and I followed her.

Aonung looked up in a shock manner, before frowning, I've never seen that look on him before, his eyebrows furrowed. "Yes sir." From that moment right there I understood Aonung a little bit better.
