When I Found You ~ Neteyam

34

~{   R I S E   }~

It was brutal. 

His growls, his screams, his bloody spear... his eyes.

Fighting alongside his parents to retrieve his sisters as well as revenge didn't help much. NO amount of death could make him forget her.

"It's Mom!" Tuk screamed as a lifeless body of a avatar fell down in front of them, Quaritch's eyes going blank with fear. "That's right!" Kiri growled, pushing her sister behind her as the elder man snatched his head round to hiss at her which Tuk did back. "They're all coming for you!" 

Thinking quickly, he grabbed Kiri first despite her screams before he went and hid, leaving Neteyam to find Tuk while his parents carried on fighting.

"Tuktirey!" Neteyam gasped, running towards her and immediately using the blade of the spear to cut her free of the restraints "Where's Kiri!" Neteyam asked in a hurry, hugging the child as she whimpered. "That way!" 

She looked around for Tatianayi, wanting to have her comforting hug. however, she wasn't there. "Tatiana?" She called out quietly, leaving Neteyam's heart to break all over again, his sister's didn't know yet.

"Tuk-" Neteyam stuttered, his heart aching in pain. It felt as if is was slowly being pulled apart in two. As he crouched down to face his little sister, who's eyes were wide in fear, a voice emerged from behind him as well as a body which made Tuk scream and cling herself onto Neteyams arm. 

The man let out a  deep sinister chuckle before walking in to the light of the burning fire. "Oh... you don't know?" Quaritch's voice appeared causing Neteyam to spin around, using just a leg to shield his sisters body as he went into an attack stance. "Tatianayi... is dead. She killed my brother." His eyes showed nothing but venom. "A life, for a life. And just so you understand what that felt like..." 

Behind him, he pulled out Kiri, holding tightly onto her queue and reaching for the knife on his army belt which he pressed against her throat.

"Kiri!" Neteyam yelled, wanting to pounce at the avatar, however he knew he couldn't due to his sister behind him and also the fact Kiri would be killed before he even got the chance to attack.

Jake and Neytiri came running up behind Neteyam "Kiri!" Neytiri gasped. her mate holding her wrist to stop her from storming up at the male that held her daughter captive. "Drop your weapons!" Quaritch hissed at the family, pressing his dagger deeper into Kiri's neck.

Just as he yelled, his son ran around the corner, his heart dropping at the sight of Kiri fighting for her life. Jake and Neytiri instantly dropped their weapons,  however, Neyteyam's grip only grew stronger on the golden spear. "Son.." Jake spoke calmly, reaching his other hand out. "Please.. let go."

Letting go of the spear to Neteyam was as if he was letting go of his mate once more, he couldn't. The ache has grown more, but not painful, it had grew to rage. 

"Listen to me, Tawtute." Neteyam spoke, but it was deeper, and almost a growl arising deep within his chest each time he spoke. "Look around. There's no escaping your death tonight. You murdered my mate, my Tatia. You will not be escaping me. Her wrath lives now within me. You will not be escaping her. Even after death you will now face her."
