Once upon a lie- Neteyam Sully

Chapter Three

I hear voices all around me. I am in pain but it has settled to an ache.

I really need to stop waking up like this.

The bright lights around me blind me as i open my eyes. Quickly I try to sit up but the people around me hiss and push me back down. What the fuck? They just hissed at me.

The man and women from before with the addition of a few other people walk towards me. Some panic strikes me, what if they decide to kill me? I try and mask my fear with a small smile.

Do not show that you are vulnerable Amelia.

The man from before walks up to me. God, he looks to familiar. He starts talking but I am to busy studying his face, trying to place his face to a name.

"...if you are to stay..- Are you even listening to me?" His words pull out of my trance, finally my brain processes it. Oh my god.

"Holy shit." I say in an excited voice, "You're Jake Sully." My eyes widen and my jaw drops, this is insane. What are the fucking chances? I try sitting up again, this time no one tries to stop me.

"How do you know my name?" My eyes narrow at him. Does he seriously not know that he's practically famous back home. Some people have jobs for the sole purpose of killing him.

"Every 'sky person' on Pandora knows your name. Oh my god I have so many questions. I've watched your entries from the Avatar program like a thousand times!" The people in the room give each other concerned glances before settling back on me.

"What do the sky people want this time?" The woman asks me. I tell her what she asks, its a very simple question. They want their resources. She walks closer with a menacing look on her face, this is when the panic starts seeping in. God she is so fucking scary.

She pulls out her knife placing it on my skin. My breath hitches and my skin goes cold.

"Neytiri." Jake warns.

"Why were you sent here? Are you they tracking you? Answer me!" My brows furrow in confusion. She really thinks a puny 16 year old is here to commit genocide?

I shake my head at her trying to avoid the sting of the knife. "God, what? Yes Neytiri, the sky people sent a wounded 16 year old girl to single handedly wipe out the entire Na'vi population." I say exasperated unknown to me my sarcasm went right over her head, "I'm not here to hurt you, I didn't even mean to cross paths with you."

Oh god that was definitely not the right thing to say.

Stupid Amelia stupid.

The woman goes to hit me in the head but Jake grabs her arm and orders her to leave the tent. He looks at me disapprovingly and sits down beside me. "We do not want to hurt you, but if you are going to stay here you have to be honest with us."

I nod at him and take a deep breath. If you want to survive Amelia you need to shut your damn mouth.

So I be honest, I tell him who my mom is and how i got to Pandora. I tell him what we were sent here to do. I'm not proud of it but he asked me to be honest.

"How did you end up in an avatar body?" I wince at his question. But answer it nevertheless.

"I guess I was part of an experiment that no one told me about. The took my memories from my human body and transferred it into an avatar. The only way for the procedure to be complete is for them to um... well exterminate my human body." I pretty much say it all in one breath. "I'm still trying to come to term with the fact that I'm technically dead. But yeah...uh- that's pretty much all of it."
