"What are you saying Jake? You knew this would happen?" Neytiri grabbed her mate's arms and stared into his teary eyes.

He gulped, "Yes. Look, at first, it was just orders, and then everything changed." He searched her eyes for closure but only found anger, "Okay? I fell in love. I fell in love with the forest, the Omatikaya people. And with you." She avoided his gaze frantically.

"I trusted you." Her voice began to drown out Jakes, "I trusted you! Kawkrr! Ke slayu nga Na'viyä hapxì!" She shouted and cried. I turned my head away.

"Did you know this?!"  Tsu'tey hissed, "Did you know!?" He demanded.

"I promise you I didn't know he was betraying you until now, he has betrayed us all." I spoke lowly. And to think I had come to like the fool. 

"How can I trust you too? Your kind do nothing but destroy!"

"I was there when your people were slaughtered! My students and friends! I was there when my brother died for your people! He died for you!" I snarled, "You trusted me then! It all changed when you turned your back on me! On him!" It had all came out. All my feelings of frustration had been conveyed. He turned his back on me and my brother as all the Omatikaya did. 

"Mefoti yìm." Eytukan commanded. Tsu'tey and the na'vi I believed were my friends turned a blind eye to my pain and Jake's warning plea. We were bound and strung up to a post. 

"You have to go!" she yelled, "They're coming!" they kept pleading, but I knew all was lost. Eywa was weeping. 

I could hear them on our doorstep. 

"Ma Eytukan, ngati 'eko!" Jake shouted.

"They're coming!" Grace shouted.

"Ayngari zene hivum!" Jake shouted.

"Txopu rä'ä si! Txopu rä'ä si![have no fear 2 times]" Tsu'tey reassured. 

The great sky beasts adorned in dragon figures and guns settled above the lake near kelutral. Sudden and incredible dread filled my heart. A scream filled my lungs and emptied into the air.

"No! God dammit! Run!" Jake pleaded to the warriors.

"Ikranti makto. 'eko ta'em.[Take the Ikran, attack from above]" Eytukan commanded Tsu'tey.

"No! Tsu'tey! Run!" I screamed. He ignored me and took Saeyla, Atan, Maru, and Ka'ani up into hometree.

I looked up in horror as the turret spun toward hometree and began to fire tear gas into the crowd of women, children, elderly, and non-warriors. 

"No!" I cried. I struggled hard against my restraints, "Get them out of there!"

"'Eko![attack]" Eytukan ordered the warriors to fire. Their arrows did nothing to stop the RDA.

I saw people fleeing from kelutral, all coughing, crying and some half conscious. It was a horrible sight. The Pa'li fled, all except for Tsa'kinam.

He grunted and whinnied. He ran for me but was frightened off by the arrows. He ran swiftly into the forest.

Suddenly, the rockets burst from the sides of the hovercraft. They slammed into the tree.

"NO!" Jake roared.

"Tsu'tey! They're still in there!" I tried to tear myself away from the post.

"Frapo ne wrrpa!" Eytukan shouted, everyone began to flee, "Frapo ne wrrpa!" He repeated. The aircraft began to pull back away.

"We gotta move! He's going to blow the columns!" Jake announced.

"My God!" Grace squawked.

"Oh my god, I'm going to die." I slumped. Mo'at approached us with tears on her face, a knife in hand.

"Mo'at no!" Tsahik put the blade to Jake's neck.

"If you are one of us," She sobbed, "Help us!" She cut his restraints, mine and Grace's. 

"This way!" He called. 

"No! I have to go get anyone I can!" I whistled for Tsa'kinam who I caught onto his saddle and hoisted myself up, making Tsaheylu in the process.

"Grab anyone you can and move toward the water! Away from Kelutral and it's shadow! It will fall!" Tsa'kinam reared up on his hindlegs and stomped back down. I grabbed any wounded and put them on the back of Tsa'kinam and told him to run. I disconnected and helped a group run away as the rockets exploded behind us.

"Come on! Hurry!" I beckoned and commanded.

The explosion threw us forward. I grabbed someone and threw them over a root.

"Behind this! Shield yourselves!" I shouted at anyone around me. I was stunned by the second strike and I covered my ears and groaned. I sank behind the root and held someone's crying child.

"It's okay, it's going to be okay, cover your ears." The firing settled and Kelutral groaned.

I heard someone cry out in pain or mourning. The leaves began to fall.

"Run! Run! We have to leave now!" I pushed everyone out of the way and grabbed a few others. "Please! We don't have time!" I screamed. The roots gave way and it was over. So many were about to loose their lives. I saw Ikrans fly away and I knew Tsu'tey was among them. But I had no time to feel relief. 

The branches met the ground and crushed hundreds under their weight. 

"No! Oh my god!" I stared in horror. The tree settled on the crushed Na'vi and the wounded. No tree so large was ever meant to fall. 

I heard kelutral groan. The home of my clan, my new people, a home which has been theirs since before humans, has fallen to the hands of my species. 

A roar of rage and horror tore through my throat. It burned my tonsils and felt hot on my tongue. It echoed over and around the dead and dying.

Tsa'kinam came running to me with the injured in tow. His worried eyes met my own. But I kept screaming. 

----------

I saw Tsu'tey and Fayna'rì land. Horror was on his face.

"You will leave." He growled.

"Tsu'tey I-"

"Leave!"

"No!" Maru shouted, "She is our friend! She has only ever been loyal! Please! She is my friend. I cannot loose another." She sobbed over the loss of her family and mate, Atan had died. 

Tsu'tey turned away. 

"Thank you." I held Maru. 

"I did not do this for you." he frowned at me with disgust and defeat.

Maru sobbed and shivered over the loss of her home and loved ones. Mo'at began to guide us away from kelutral, but Grace collapsed beside me and I soon joined her.

I fell into my old body. But I couldn't speak or move. It's all over.

"You murderer!" Grace screamed.

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

When I came to, I began unleashing all of my rage on Jake.

"They took you in! They protected you, guided you! She loved you! You betrayed Tsu'tey's trust!" I pointed at him, Grace grabbed my shoulder.

"That's enough E, there's nothing he could have do-"

"No! I refuse to believe that! My brother gave his life so that you could be one of them! He died for the children I taught! Now they're dead! I trusted you! We all trusted you!" I sunk to the floor and began to cry. The hot, burning tears made me feel pathetic. I'm stronger than this!

I heard the wheels of a cart and Trudy's footsteps.
