011,  the other side



           XANA WAS confused when her eyes fluttered open, being blessed with the sight of the forest. A big smile of relief formed on her face at the sight in front of her. It was young Neteyam. "Neteyam?" Xana gasped slightly, releasing her voice was predominantly squeaker and childish than it usually was. She looked down at her body, seeing that she was a lot smaller.

          "Xana!" Young Neteyam shouted towards his younger sister, running over to her with a smile on his face. "You've got to wake up, little sister. It isn't your time to die." Xana's stomach dropped. "Am I dead?" She whispered. "Yes." Realisation waved over Xana. So that's why she was back in the forest with him."Wake up." He spoke again, his boyd flickering from his young body to his current body.
"No Teyam I can't leave you. You have to wake up." Xana sobbed, reaching out to grab ahold of her brothers arm, horror engulfing her body as her hand went straight through.

          "I still will be by your side for everything, little sister. I see you." Xana shook her head, her heart breaking as his body vanished. Xana refused to let herself wake up, not without her brother. She was nothing without him. So she sat there, all alone, the only sounds to be heard were her sobs. It felt as though she had been there hours.

          "Xana?" An unfamiliar voice spoke from behind her, scaring her as she quickly stood up, her eyes darting around the forest. "Xana." It spoke again, the voice now beside her. She slowly turned towards where it came from, being met with a man she didn't know. He looked a lot like Tarsem and he wore the same neck piece she had seen her father wear a few times. She wasn't sure if it was who she thought it was, but it didn't hurt to guess. "Tsu'tey?"

    The man nodded, sitting down on the grass as he patted the free space beside him, indicating for the girl to sit. She warily walked over to him, sitting down. "Your Tarsem's older brother, right?" Tsu'tey nodded, a small smile forming on his face at the thought of his brother who was now a clan leader, just like he once was.

          "He misses you a lot, y'know. Growing up he always told me about you. He said I was just like you. I think that's why he likes me so much." Xana spoke, looking towards the man. Tsu'tey noticed how much the girl spoke and looked Jake.

          "You are just like me. A warrior. And that's why you have to wake up. For your brother. For your family. For your lover. For your friends. Wake up Xana." Tsu'tey urged, his voice desperate as he stared into the younger girls eyes. She truly was just like him, because he knew if Tarsem died before him and he had the chance to die with him, he would take it.

         Xana stared into Tsu'tey's eyes, seeing nothing but the truth in them. Tsu'tey stared back, hoping the girl made the correct decision.

"Please wake up." Aonung whispered, holding her hand close to his mouth, pressing several kissing on it. He prayed to Eywa for the wakening of his lover.

Ronal continued trying to get the young girl to wake up as Neytiri held her daughters head in her hands, also praying for her to wake up. Beside Neytiri sat Jake, Tuk and Kiri, sobs escaping Tuk and Kiri as Jake tried to calm them down — reassuring them that Xana wasn't going to die — but he wasn't even sure he believed that himself anymore. Lo'ak stood in the corner with Tsireya held close to him, the boy finding comfort within her as he stared at his lifeless twin's body. He didn't know what he would do without her. Xana was his bestfriend, no matter how badly they argued.

Spider stood beside the mauri door, feeling wrong to step foot into the mauri knowing that only an hour ago, he had saved the man who murdered Neteyam and maybe even Xana.

Suddenly, Xana's eyes shot open, the girl breaths were shaky. "Oh my babygirl." Neytiri bursted out into tears as she held Xana's head close to hers. Xana took a few deep breaths as Neytiri pulled away from her daughter. Xana carefully looked over to her right, spotting a teary eyed Aonung. She rested her head on his arm as he caressed her cheek.

"Dad." She breathed out, her vision was still blurry but she could see the pure relief on his face. "I seen them. Neteyam and Tsu'tey, they are with Eywa."
