Is this what Grief feels like...? Chapter 8, Faithless.
Varang looks at her mother's bow....Broken, bloodied, along with her arms and face, she looked like an animal.... What's every clan thought her and her clan were...She looks around, not even processing properly before a rebel had grabbed her from behind and held a knife to her throat.
Varang yelps, but not before she head-butted them, harshly and full of anger as she ripped off her feathered headress and used the smaller feathers, sharper ones and dug it into the rebels face, slicing it open, she screams out of anger, leaving the headress in there...A sign, a warning...
She hears another heavy footstep as she yanked out her knife, only to see her mate, but her mind was fogged, she hisses as Quaritch puts his hands up in surrender.
"Sugar...We don't want you hurtin' anybody now...So just...Put the knife down..."
Varang hisses even more, she was like a cornered animal, just waiting for the wrong movement to strike....Quaritch knows he could always disarm her, he was bigger after all...But he wouldn't...Not now...
"Varang...Put the knife down..."
He walked closer, slowly takes his hand and maneuvering to slip the knife out of her hand, he gets closer to her, putting his hand behind her head, a calming movement he always did when she was tense.
"there you go...See?"
Varang looks down, dropping the knife, she breathes shakily, her body still locked up, she stunk of blood, brain matter and corpses, but that didn't even cross Quaritch's mind, all he thought about was her, and calming his woman down....He slowly wipes some blood off of her face, being careful of not being too rough on it, just in case she snaps...
"Let's mount up..."
He ordered, turning to get on cupcake, Varang got on Ashley, and Lyle got on missile (shuddup), and flew off back to bridgehead.
Once they got there, Quaritch, Lyle and Varang walked to Parker's office, but all Varang saw was her crazed face, on all screens...Covered in blood...
The screen glowed bright, in every humans faces...They get to Parker's office, and he didn't looked pleased, but at the same time he looked impressed...
"Well, not only did your girl pacify the hostiles, she made every human in bridgehead think she's the damn devil of Pandora...!"
He said, with triumph and anger at the same time.
"Well-"
Quaritch started but Angela cut him off immediately.
"Well nothing! Your savage made us look like FOOLS!"
Quaritch yells back, getting overheated by someone calling his wife a savage, as he did before...
"FOOLS?! SHE KILLED ALL THE DAMN REBELS IN RECORD TIME!!
They argued, Angela on the side that Varang is nothing but a savage just like any other Na'vi, while Quaritch was on the side of not only defending his wife, but thinking she was just what they needed, none of them even noticed that Varang had left the room...
Varang stormed through her people, she seemed panicked as she goes in her yurt and throws her mother's bow onto the furs, she scratches at herself, fidgeting, she moves her hair back from her face, smearing the crusted and dry blood off...
She stops at the sound of an animal, she turns as a memory floods her mind...
"Tsahik, may I keep her?! Please please please?!?!"
Rakx and Zari held up a baby Natang, it was clueless looking and clearly they picked it up and decided to keep it, Varang had always thought it was Rakx's idea...
"And who is to say that you will not kill it the moment you get sick of it...?"
She said calmly, eyeing Rakx specifically, Rakx and Zari make a mock hurt expression, before begging again, purposely annoying her this time, until she finally agreed...The memory fades as she sees the same baby Natang in the higher crevice of her yurt, it chirps at her, wagging its tail...
Varang sighs, annoyed and angry.
"They are gone..."
She said, irritated, but the Natang clearly didn't register it as it chirped again.
"Get out...!"
She said again, after staring at it again, she walks towards it and grabs a clay bowl throwing it, not hitting the wall next to the pup.
"GET.OUT!"
"RAKX IS GONE!"
"ZARI IS GONE!!!"
"THEY ARE DEAD!!!! AND THEY ARE NOT COMING BACK GET OUT!!!!"
"GET OUT!"
Her voice cracks by the end of the outbreak, she never really processed much of her grief in the past 2 months, but seeing this pup wait for its owners that will never return brought her back all over again....Snot, saliva and tears run down her face as she picks up the pup and brings it to her chest...
She Missed Them So Much...
Sorry for the long wait...Again, I've been having writers block, just to clarify, this takes 2 months after the 1st chapter, so Varang is 2 months pregnant in this part.
Sorry if I haven't been making her pregnancy obvious enough, or if I've been making her too emotional, I just think she has A LOT of repressed grief and anger and she's not even releasing her full potential.
And yes, she shoves her headress into someone's face, she can always make another lmao, anyways, I hope y'all enjoyed this oneee!
@raggedypina, you make me stressed, I make you sad. Deal, deal mk! 😁
