The Ghost

Letters

3rd Person POV--

Kanan picked up the fainted Rei. He wondered what made her scream; not much frightened that girl. Jarrus took a look around Reityek's room. He saw an overturned desk, a sleeping pad, and countless papers scattered about the floor. What are these? Kanan thought. I didn't see Reityek bring anything onto the ship... He set Rei gently on the floor and picked up a note. He started to read.

Dear Luke,

I can't take this anymore. My whole life has been falling apart at the seams. Master Bridger got taken today; taken by the clones he once commanded. I tried to get him back, but I got caught and tourtured. I got beated my an electric whip and cut by daggers. My wounds hurt and I think they'll leave scars. Ezra is crying and I don't know why. I miss you.

Love,

Reityek Skywalker xoxo

Kanan took a look at Rei. She was good at acting happy, she must've worked on that with Epheriam. Kanan picked up another peice of paper.

Dear Luke,

Today was a great day. We got three crates of yogans. We also stole two Meiluruns! We're going to save the Meiluruns for Ezra's birthday. We'll keep one crate of yogans too. The other crates we'll take to Tarkentown. Ezra is turning seven on Hepday! But, Hepday is also Empire day. I need to go, I hear blaster fire outside the tower.

Love,

Reityek Skywalker xoxo

Rei stirred, but she stayed under the dark blanket of sleep. Kanan took a look at her then checked back onto the letter. Skywalker? But that was Anakin's last name! Then she must be... Kanan's eyes widened as he put two and two together. Why Reityek never said her full name. Why Reityek was so reckless. Why Reityek would hug Padme when she saw her. Why Reityek was so close to Anakin. Why Reityek was so close to the dark side.

Sabine had her helmet on as she watched Zeb ran away from the, now crazed, Chopper. Ezra was kneeling beside her, holding Hera's head up. Hera's breathing was the only sound after Zeb got Chop to shut down. Sabine looked down the hall where Kanan had gone. She was worried for Rei; in the few days they had been together, the two of them had grown to be like sisters.

Sabine took out one of her blasters and started tossing it into the air, catching it, spinning it, and tossing it again. Zeb crossed his arms and looked at Sabine's gun, spacing out. Ezra sucked in a breath and placed his head on her chest.

"Kanan!" he yelled. "Hera's heartbeat is going down!" Kanan dropped the letter and rushed out of the room, leaving Rei. Rei groaned and sat up. She saw the empty room, and the letters scattered about. She heard a commotion and got up, stumbling out the door. She saw Ezra kneeling down next to Hera and Kanan talking to her. Trying to wake her.

Rei ran over, ignoring her pounding headache. She kneeled beside Kanan. Kanan had his hand on her forehead, Rei joined him. They closed their eyes and searched through the force, trying to find what was wrong with her. Rei snapped her eyes open and lurched back, as did Kanan. Ezra looked at them in confusion.

"What's going on?" He asked. Kanan shook his head in disbelief.

"The dark side, its in her."

I decided to update this crappy chapter. I'm really sorry for not updating, but I've had so much going on, that I've barely been able to stop and write this A/N. I hope you can forgive me Reader-Chan!

Well. I have no idea what's going to happen next.

May the Force Be With You,

Spectre 7, Out.
