THE NEXT DAY, Tuk was sitting on the ground, peaking her head down in curiosity, the siblings had woken up to a strange feeling circling them in the air.

Once her parents were left alone, curiosity got to them and they hid behind the hut to listen to their
argument.

Mckenzie was next to the hut, crossing her arms in worry, Neteyam and Lo'ak walked towards their sisters, as they all leaned their heads closer to listen to the conversation.

Neteyam leaned close and placed a hand on his older sister's shoulder, as she placed a hand on his.

Neytiri repeatedly shook her head in disagreement, Jake calmly standing tall trying to console his mate

"He's hunting us." Jake fired toward her. Last night haunted him, he was scared as fuck. He knew that it'd be hard to get Neytiri to understand.
"He's targeting our family."

Neytiri let out an angry breath, "You cannot ask this! The children, everything they've ever known! The forest! This is our home!"

"He had our children. He had them under his knife." Jake tries to reason with her, but Neytiri screwed her face at him before pausing at the man's words.

Her eyes shifted towards the bow in display, "My father gave this bow, as he lay dying!" Her voice broke out as she held up the special object towards him, "And he said protect the people.
You're Toruk Makto!"

Mckenzie's heart sank to her stomach, it was never nice hearing her parents under such distress. They were the strongest people she knew, the people she looked up to the most.

And they were scared of a man, that she could've easily killed if she wasn't stopped.

"This will protect the people!" Jake agitatedly yells at Ney'tiri. "Quaritch has Spider, and that kid knows everything! He knows our whole operation!"

The siblings shared looks of worry as they recalled the incident. Mckenzie squeezed Neteyam's hand, as her lips parted and frowned.

"Look, I got nothing. I got no plan." Jake angrily told Ney'tiri, he sighed before placing his hand on his heart.

"But, I can protect this family, that I can do."

The Na'vi began to tear up, placing her hand on her forehead. Jake quickly stepped towards her and held her shoulder. "But I know one thing, wherever we go, this family is our fortress."

Hearing her sniffles broke him, but this was the right thing to do. Knowing that she had given up and agreed with him, Jake pulled Ney'tiri into a comforting hug.

——

The pair agreed it would be best to let their children know, one by one in private conversations. Their first child was the hardest to get through, Mckenzie.

The girl crossed her arms leaning against the pole that held the hut together, she analyzed each of her parent's body language.

Her mother, Neytiri, bites her lip with dried-up tears against her blue cheeks, looking down at the ground. Her father, Jake stared at her.

"We're leaving, today."

He expected a snarky response from his daughter, instead, she scoffed and raised a brow. "And if I don't want to go?" She was trying to keep herself emotionless.

"This isn't up for debate, Mckenzie. Your mother and I have agreed, the decision is final." She bit her lip in frustration, her plan to stay nonchalant had failed, and it failed very quickly.

"I don't want to go!"

"Mckenzie, I told you, we're leaving today." She growled at him and began pacing around before turning to her father and shouting.
