After you and Neteyam talked, everyone was sent to bed. You usually slept in the Sully hut with Kiri, but after yesterday's events, you figured they might need some space. You hated sleeping in your hut, though; it was lonely with the ghosts of the life you used to have. Your parents loved each other, and their story was so cute. They didn't have the traditional "love at first sight" kind of love. Where you see each other and you know they are the one. Although that is sweet, it's not always realistic.

Your mother had eyes for a different Na'vi, and was not even interested in your father. Your mother pinned for this man for so long that she gave up and decided to swear off men. Your father always noticed your mother, her pretty hair, her eyes, her bow skills, and most importantly, her smile—all the traits you luckily inherited. Slowly your father started to flirt with your mother, spend time with her, and before she knew it, she was in love. She always said it snuck up on her.

You quickly got up and left before the burning in your throat and chest became tears in your eyes. Usually, Kiri, Lo'ak, and Tuk would be around in the morning while Jake, Neytiri, and Neteyam did their rounds around the clan. Today was different, though. The whole Sully family was still in their hut. You peeked inside and saw they were in deep conversation and slipped away quietly before they noticed.

...

Neteyam was shocked at what his father had just said to everyone. "We have to go; we must leave our home and disappear."

Tuk started to cry, and Neteyam pulled her to him, cradling her head.

"This isn't fair; this is our home!" Kiri cried. She was angry. Kiri looked at her mother for help, but Neytiri was staring at the ground, her face blank. She was trying to keep a brave face for her children, but inside she could feel the wounds already in her heart tearing deeper.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I have to agree with Kiri. You are Olo'eyktan. What will the people do." Neteyam pleaded with his father. Not only that, but he was the next Olo'eyktan. The Omatikaya was his clan to protect one day, and he wasn't going to abandon them.

"The decision has been made. This is to protect the people. This is to protect you. This family is our fortress. As long as we are together and safe, that is all that matters." Jake stood up. He was upset and scared but couldn't let his guard down. He had to stay strong for his kids and also Neytiri.

"And what of Y/n? Is she coming too?" Kiri asked, her eyes full of concern; she wasn't going to leave her sister.

This made Lo'ak head snap up, he was sad about leaving, but he never felt like he truly belonged here. The thought of leaving you behind... it made his throat tighten up.

"I do not think it is fair to strip her from her home. She will make the choice herself whether or not she wants to stay." Neytiri finally spoke. It killed her to think of you not coming, but it was only fair. She would not take you from the forest if you did not want to leave.
