Once upon a lie- Neteyam Sully

Chapter One

"She's waking up sir."

"Its too early, we haven't finished taking tests."

My blurry eyes open quickly. My head is spinning.

"What's happening? Where am I?" I try to talk but nothing comes out. My blurry eyes open quickly. My head is spinning. I look around me. All I see is white. The white walls are blinding my sensitive eyes. Everything is so sharp. I look at my hands.

Oh my god.

I am blue.

Why am I blue?

I start pulling on my restraints. Finally finding my voice I speak, "Let me out."

"Sedate her. Now." A familiar voice says. I pull and pull on my restraints until finally I break out, standing up quickly I start running out of the room. Ignoring the people trying to stop me.

"No. Where am I? What's going on." People start approaching me with murderous looks. They are so small. I feel as if i could crush them with my hands. I see me reflection in the mirror.

I look like one of them.

I look like the Na'vi.

What did they do to me?

"You need to calm down Amelia."

I'm hyperventilating at this point.

"What did you do to me?" I ask, my voice breaking.

"We transferred your memories into an Avatar body as a test subject. You are the beginning of a new era for our people." What? Nobody asked me to do this.

"Where is my body? Where is the real me?"

"In order for the procedure to work we had to eliminate your human body." My body turns cold, how could they do this to me, how could she do this to me?

"Where's my mom?" How could she betray me like that? I've given everything to her and her work. I've quit literally given my life apparently.

"She does not wish to see you." I laugh humorlessly.

Quite frankly I would rather take my chances out in the forest then be surrounded by these self absorbed douchebags. I've never supported their cause but I have always tried to be supportive for my mother. And this is how she repays me?

"She turns me into a blue alien, and she does not want to see me?" All i see is red. I am so angry. They have taken away my future. They killed me. Tears brim my eyes but I refuse to let them fall. They do not deserve my tears. I finally can place a name to the man in front of me. He is the new general. He is a monster.

"Do not be emotional Amelia. You were sacrificed for a greater cause." I shake my head at his stupidity. His statement seals the deal. I will leave and I will fight if I have to. I will not stay here for a second longer. I can't.

So I don't.

I start running, pushing anyone in my way. I refuse to follow these idiotic leaders anymore. I have blindly followed these strangers into war, and into my death. I have failed to see that they would betray their people without a blink of their eyes. At least the Na'vi people are loyal to one another.

I keep running although I hear the sounds of people yelling and the shots of guns. I can't be here anymore.

I see the General nearing me. He's getting close. I put my new legs to use, using them to make my strides longer and faster. Although I can outrun the General I cannot outrun his bullets. Multiple shots land in my shoulder, agony and pain spreading throughout my arm. I can't stop now.

I keep my pace even though my body is burning with agony. My lungs are burning and my eyes are blurring from the pain. Finally I make it out of the facility. I recognize it. This is the abandoned facility. No one is allowed here. It was the start of the infamous Jake Sully. That's where his Avatar was born.

The forest is so close. I can make it .

Another shot pierces my thigh. A scream makes its way out of my throat.

That hurt like a bitch.

I refuse to stop. If I stop they will kill the only remaining body I have. There will be no coming back. I'm not ready to die, I'm only 16. They cannot take away the only life I have left.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: I imagine the facility she is running away from as the one where Jake Sully woke up in from the first movie. I imagine Amelia running away almost the same way Jake did when he first woke up, except Amelia was running for her life.
