Chapter 12.

"I will be back in a second, I have to talk to someone." you say. She smiles and nods.

You look back to the Sully family and make your way to them.

"Mommy, look! " Tuk yells as she pulls on Neytiri's arm slightly and calls your name. The family shifts their attention to you as you walk up to them.

"Hey!" you greet them, talking a bit loud because of the noise being created behind you by the crowd.

"We are so glad you are here. Honestly, I have no idea what to do." Jake says as he looks at you.

You smile and motion them to follow you.

"I know a good spot!" you exclaim, looking over your shoulder, catching a glance from Neteyam.

You make your way through the crowd again, spotting an empty space right in the front. Perfect.

"Here," you say as you point, "You will have a good view of the performance."

"Thank you so much, sweetheart." Neytiri smiles at you.

You smile and nod back.

"I just wanted to say-" you turn your body towards Neteyam, tilting your head to the side a bit.

His sentence was cut short by the call of your name.

You both turned your heads towards the calling- it was Jìekai.

"Come, the show is about to start!" he says as he grabs your arm gently, keeping his glance on you. His gaze quickly flicks to Neteyam and then back to you.

"Come." he urges.

The second horn is blown.

"Shit." you murmur.

You turn back to Neteyam, as you are being pulled away by Jìekai.

"See you in a bit!" you gave him a forgiving smile.

Before you were completely pulled out from the crowd, your eyes met Neteyam's for a quick second, and you swore you saw him glare at Jìekai.

Weird.

You walk out of the marui and stroll towards the group waiting outside. Everyone was dressed and ready for the show to begin. You smile as you walk up to Efràa and Jìekai.

"You guys ready?" You ask as you place both your hands on their arms and give them a little squeeze.

"Of course," Jìekai answers as he places a hand upon yours.

"You look so pretty, Y/n!" Efràa squeals as she also places her hand on top of yours.

Jìekai nods.

You mumble a thanks as you slip your hands away and place them on your hips.

The same older woman from earlier walks up to the chatting group.

"Okay, are you guys ready to perform?"

Everyone exclaims their versions of 'Yes', and she leads us back to the beach.

The orange tint from the sky has disappeared and has been replaced with the beautiful night sky. The pathway towards the makeshift stage was lit up with torches. You could hear chatting coming from the Metkayina, waiting for the show to begin. You stride with the group behind the stage.

"Same routine as always - you hear the horn we begin!" the woman whispers as she smiles at everyone, "Good luck." she adds as she quickly gets on the stage.

The evening was just beginning.

You hear cheers from the audience as she enters the stage.

A small smile appears on your lips. You couldn't lie. You felt a bit strung up. It wasn't the first time and certainly not the last performing, but still you were nervous. It happens every time. The sensation of getting on stage any second.
