*3rd POV*

Night had taken over and the helicopter was long gone. Creatures chittered into the night air, only make Jake even more paranoid. Izzy was fine with the night and the animal noises. Jake held a small contained of matches in his mouth and took off his first layer of clothing, wrapping it around the tree branch he had carved. He began soaking it in sap which he found on the trees.

"Jake, don't do what I think you're doing." Izzy hissed.

They were being stalked by more than just the four of us.

As soon as he ignited the spear which lit up the forest, making, Neytiri, Tsu'tey, Stitch, Jasiri and Izzy wince at the bright light. "Jake!" Izzy hissed.

Jake and Izzy soon discovered the pack of Viperwolves snarling around them. They were black dog like creatures that had a hyena like laugh. They hissed and snarled at the light, while Jake waved it back and forth in front of them, barely keeping them at bay.

"Jake, stop." Izzy pleaded as a Viperwolf had interest in Izzy.

Izzy noticed this and gently held her hand out to it and it nuzzled her hand.

Izzy smiled softly and put her forehead on it's knowing what gender it was. "I see you sister. I see you." 

The Viperwolf had ran off happily as Izzy smiled softly.

"They're going to die. We must help." Neytiri demanded quickly as she and Tsu'tey were readying their bows.

They felt torn between the creatures and Izzy and Jake's lives, but they were presented to them by Eywa for a reason. They'd kill only if necessary.

"We cannot interfere. If it's to be the way they die, then he shall die." Stitched hissed at them.

The creatures got closer and closer, following Izzy and Jake as they backed away. They climbed the trees and had fully surrounded them. Jake tried his best to cover themselves from every angle, but it was impossible, as it always left somewhere around them defenseless.

Tsu'tey and Neytiri could sense that Izzy was not harmful even with the dangerous creatures.

"If we do nothing, the male will set the entire forest on fire. They are the will of Eywa, and we will do what we must to save them. Eywa forgive us for what we're about to do." Neytiri and Tsu'tey prayed and began to run.

"Neytiri! Tsu'tey!" Stich and Jasiri hissed, reaching for their arms, but they were too quick. They groaned in annoyance.

*My POV*

The Viperwolves were surrounding us still. "We don't have all god damn night. Come on!" Jake yelled. "Come on!"

"Jake! They don't like the fire!" I hissed.

Some of the Viperwolves jumped from the trees, lunging for them. Jake smacked the first one with the end of the stick, making the creature yelp out in pain. I felt a sting my very soul and hissed quietly.

Another made a lunge at us, but Jake stabbed it with the end of the spear that he had made sharp. Causing the Viperwolf to cry out and whimper. I hissed again. It moved away from Jake, with the spear still stuck in it's side. Tears filled my eyes feeling the suffering of the creature.

Neytiri and Tsu'tey knew what they had to do. Not only would it do the work of Ewya, but it would put an end to the suffering of these creatures.

One snarled Viperwolf snarled at Jake and I and jumped on Jake just as he took out his knife from his pocket. The two fell to the ground and Jake struggled with the creature. I hissed at the bright light of the fire.
