Well Wishes (Caleb Dume x Reader)

The Chase

Your breath catching up to you, everything around you going blurry, yet focused on one thing. That brown thick hat. Caleb followed closely behind, as you ran down the steps. The blue man of course was making a smart move of running towards the streets, he was a clever bounty hunter that was for sure.

Your heart ached at the sight of so many people in the streets, it was crowded, everyone trying to get to work, purchase food, it was crazy. And what did that man do? Run into the crowd. You were scared of losing him, but you were fast enough. And again focused on the hat.

Pushing people out of the way, and telling everyone to move was not a good way to start your day, some shrieking of surprise and confusion, others angry and yelling at you, a couple of children being reckless in the busy streets.

Your legs felt weak, starting to go numb as the bounty hunter took twists, and turns, your hair rapidly going all of the place. Your Jedi robes flowed around you, your boots feeling already worn out. Sweat beaded at your forehead, but anger fueled you to keep running. Your arms also were tired, pushing people out of the way when they simply didn't want to move.

And that brown hat. It was bothering you, you kept a straight eye on it. It was the only thing that kept you chasing. You looked to your left and Caleb was next to you, him looking a little worse then you. He looked at you with seriousness in his eyes and pointed to his palm with two fingers. One finger stood still while the other went around and in front, indicating of Caleb going around a building, and trapping the bounty hunter. You nodded and continued chasing as Caleb went around.

The bounty hunter fired occasional shots, which were harmless compared to your lightsaber. You were in an alley way, which was pretty empty, when you got the idea. You were in the middle of learning this technique with your old master before she died. You hadn't learned all of it, and you hadn't done it since. With the buildings being on both sides, you decided to wall run. Wall running would get you closer to the bounty hunter, which to your surprise was decreasing speed. He wasn't trying any sly moves, nothing.

You jumped up and planted your feet on the wall. Obviously you weren't walking sideways, but if you were fast enough, you wouldn't fall. When you started to slow down, you jumped of your the floor again. The man turned around in frustration to realize how much closer you were to him. You were coming to the exit of the alley, where Caleb should be on the other side.

The bounty hunter reached the edge, and Caleb quickly jumped out with his lightsaber. But the bounty hunter wasn't gonna except defeat. He kicked
Caleb hard enough in the stomach to cause him falling to the floor. "Caleb!", you yelled. The bounty hunter took off again. "Y/n, it's ok, I'll meet you at the next alley, just don't let him go!", Caleb said grunting. "Got it." You nodded.

Your legs felt like they were going to break, as people and were making weird looks at you and others frightened when they saw jedi were involved. You again made sure you followed that hat. You could smell the smoke of the streets which made your head rush, and giving you a headache. He tried cutting through tents and shops of market sellers, but you were one step behind him. Wow was he drastically slowing speed, but so were you. You lost Caleb, pretty sure he got lost, unexpected of the bounty hunters to take such wild turns. It was all up to you.

You saw a pole in the distance and thought, if he ran past it you might get the chance. And he did, ran straight towards the pole. He was advancing on it quickly, but you even quicker. With all the might you had, you force jumped onto the pole and hands gripped the metal bar. Your legs swung around just as the hat wearing man came across it. The force around you turned all around the pole and with both feet, kicked him onto the floor. He fell with a large thud as people around watched. You jumped down from the pole as you fell on top of him, and held the lightsaber to his throat. "Y/n!" Caleb came rushing towards you. You were huffing out of breath, " it's over." You told the man. His hat covering his face, you lifted it.
