Chapter 6

*3rd POV*

Neytiri and Tsu'tey woke up early and stretched peacefully after their wonderful night's sleep. They turned over in their hammocks to see Jake and Izzy was still sleeping. They sighed in annoyance at Jake, that it wasn't at all a dream. Now they were stuck babysitting him instead of having the freedom they once had, even with all their classes and teachings. From what they saw last night, he was going to tough to teach, while Izzy just wanted to bond with the creatures.

They know they were once so open to having the Sky People around, but after everything, they knew they needed to keep themselves guarded. They weren't going to let their charming ways have any pull over them. Even though Neytiri and Tsu'tey thought Jake was possibly the most handsome Na'vi they've ever seen, and they thought the same that Izzy was the most beautiful Na'vi they've ever seen, even if they weren't born a natural one.

"Well, good morning, princesses and prince." Jake smirked as his eyes opened and he stares at Neytiri, Tsu'tey and I. "Can't keep your eyes off me can you?"

"You're insufferable." Neytiri and Tsu'tey rolled their eyes and climbed out of their hammock. 

*My POV*

I had just woken up to see Tsu'tey, Neytiri and Jake staring at me. We smiled at each other before getting out of our hammocks. "Come. We have much to do."

Neytiri, Tsu'tey and I easily climbed up to the branch above our beds and looked down at Jake who appeared to be struggling. Neytiri sighed and mumbled under her breathe, reaching her hand down towards him. After helping him up, we had breakfast and Neytiri and Tsu'tey went to grab Direhorses. 

*3rd POV*

When Neytiri and Tsu'tey come back they see Jake and Izzy playing with the Omatikaya children and it warmed their hearts. They quickly shook the feelings away and then together they went down to the fields where the Direhorse's grazed. 

*My POV*

I pet one of the Direhorses as it nuzzled me. I smiled. Currently Neytiri and Tsu'tey are teaching us about the Tsaheylu, the bond. They most important connection to the Na'vi and the animals around us. Direhorses were going to be the easiest of animals to teach Jake and I how to ride and bond with.

"Today you must learn to ride a Direhorse." Tsu'tey said as we watched the Direhorses graze with their longs tongues into the flowers int he field. "Creating a bond between man/woman and beast. It allows you to become one."

"Well, that's gonna be a piece of cake, right?" Jake asked, standing beside Neytiri.

"Jake, has anything for you been easy here?" I asked and he got quiet, knowing I was right.

Soon Tsu'tey brought a Direhorse to me, and I pet it and it nuzzled me and I climbed onto it as I grabbed my braid and held the queue to the Direhorses and felt her and I smiled softly. "Forward." I said.

We took off running and I was laughing happily as we came back around to the other three as they had smiles.

I sat on my Direhorse who I named Nora, meaning light, as it was Jake's turn.

He climbed on a Direhorse and connected the queue. "That is Tsaheylu. The bond." Neytiri explained gently. "Feel her." Tsu'tey said as Neytiri petted her side and Jake closed his eyes for a moment. "Feel her heartbeat. Her breathe. Feel her strong legs. You may tell her what to do. Inside." Neytiri said as she pointed to her head. "For now, say where to go." I suggested as I sat on Nora more.

Neytiri and Tsu'tey stepped back from them. "Forward." Jake said nervously. He grunted quickly as she lurched forward. The bond was broken and Jake fell off down into the mud. Neytiri, Tsu'tey and I couldn't contain ourselves. We laughed and chased after them, me on Nora of course. Neytiri went to get the Direhorse while Tsu'tey helped Jake up, I stayed on Nora and smiled. "You'll get there eventually Jake." I said smiling.
