The Way Of The Heart

Mila pov

I walked carefully through the jungle with the others. General Ardmore was right the blue team did not trigger the emune response in the forest. I watched as an animal with four arms swung through the trees. I kept on high alert just because some of the animals weren't attacking doesn't mean nothing else would.

It's amazing how they were able to give me knowledge on fighting and other human things. Also they somehow made me fluent in Na'vi. It's just weird being 17 almost 18 and not having years worth of my own memories.

"Mila keep up!" Quaritch yelled as I lagged behind a bit.

Apparently they used his DNA to make me. So technically I'm his daughter. Who elses DNA did they use? I have no idea they didn't tell me. No, scratch that they won't tell me. Why they won't tell me who my mother is I don't know.

By the way I'm albino. So yes I have reddish eyes. Sorry if you find that creepy it's just the way I am. I still have strips of course, their grey colored. I also have white hair.

We kept walking through the forest. As we did black colored creatures came through the foliage. The whole blue team pointed our guns at them but they just made few sounds before scurrying off.

"No shit." Z-Dog said shrugging in front of me. I nodded my head in agreement to her as Quaritch made a sign to keep going.

We kept walking forward until we came up on an old shack. It's covered in vines and plants it almost seems as if the forest is eating it. I walk around it checking if the area is clear.

"Watch your six."

"Clear." Z- Dog says after checking inside.

"Clear." I said as I come back around to the front.

"Permeter up." Wainfleet instructed. As Quaritch walked towards a suit that was on the ground with two arrows sticking out of it. He moved closer moving the plants away from where they put the names of who they belonged to. My breath caught as I saw the name.

"Damn." Wainfleet said looking into the machine next to the Colonel. Inside lay the remains of human Colonel Miles Quaritch. I stayed standing by keeping watch and glancing at the machine from time to time.

"Lyle, see if you can pull some data off that dash cam." Quaritch said as he walked away from the shack and passed me, giving me a glance.

"That things deader than shit, Colonel." Wainfleet said as he looked at it.

"So were we."

"Alright."

Hearing a commotion and other recoms shouting I jogged towards them with Quaritch and Wainfleet. We stopped by them seeing them holding three young Na'vi and a human boy? Man? I don't know. He kinda looked my age. So did two of the Na'vi.

"What have we here?" Quaritch said walking forward looking between the four.

"Hey Colonel check it out. Four fingers. We got a half-breed." Wainfleet said holding up the oldest looking girl's hand.

"Shit..." I heard the human murmer under his breath.

"Show me your fingers." He said walking over to the male Na'vi. Who held up his middle fingers. I couldn't help it and let out a chuckle.

"Your his aren't you?" Quaritch said tillting his head to look at the Na'vi who just snarled at him.

"Your his alright." He said before reaching for his braid. Making him groan and hiss. I would too it hurts like hell being grabbed by it. Don't ask how I know cause I ain't telling!

"Where is he?"

"Sorry I don't speak English... to butholes." The Na'vi said in well Na'vi. I held in another chuckle.

"Where is your father?" Quaritch asked in Na'vi. He just got a hiss in response.

"Really you want to play it this way?" He said pulling his knife out and dropping the male to walk towards the older girl. To which both the Na'vi male and the human one started yelling not to touch her. When the human one yelled in English Quaritch turned around to him.

"What's your name kid?" He asked.

"Spider... Socorro." He said. I turned quickly to look at them. Socorro?

"Miles?" Quaritch asked and that was answer enough for me. This human boy was my brother in a sense. And my father seemed to care more about him than me. I clenched my jaw gritting my teeth and glared at him.

"Nobody calls me that."

"Well, I'll be damned. I figured they sent you back to earth."

"They can't put babies in cyro dip shit." I laughed softly at the last part getting a few looks from everyone and a stern look from the Colonel. He stood up and motioned for the recom to grab 'Spider' again.

"What we doin boss?" One of them asked.
