Sabine: A New Mission

Twelve: Pain And Hope

Just a little further....... Sabine thought. Now that they had the tracker, they were heading towards a planet name something like: Achoo. 

Sabine forgot the pronunciation. 

"Ahsoka? What is the name of the planet? Achoo?" She called. Ahsoka began laughing so hard, she barely managed to get it out. "I-it's A-Ahch-To, S-Sabine!" 

Sabine's face went red as everyone laughed.

Tristan said: "Well now I thought you knew every planet's name!" 

With that, she started to chase him, all the while threatening to kill him. That didn't surprise Ursa or Alrich. It was just like when their kids were young, always play fighting or fighting.

Ahsoka just smiled, and kept her focus on the controls. 

Finally, the siblings stopped chasing each other, although Sabine kept eyeing her younger brother. But they only stopped that because Ahsoka called, saying that they were approaching Ahch-To. 

Sabine frowned, and looked the tracking device. 

"It says that he's not on the planet......could he be on a moon?"

"That's possible. Which one does it say he's on?" Ahsoka asked. 

Sabine paused, and looked at the tracker. Then she looked up.

"It's that one," she said, pointing to a green and blue moon. 

"Copy. Let's go."

On the moon......

"Sabine, someone should go with you," Ahsoka and Sabine's family argued. 

"No. I have this feeling that I have to do this part alone."

"But what if you get killed?" Ursa protested. 

"If I remember correctly, about five years ago you wouldn't have cared if I was killed," Sabine snapped. She realized what she had said, and added, "Sorry, it's just....I guess.....I...I'm scared.....okay? So many things could have happened, and I just....." Sabine started to tear up. 

Ursa looked sad and knowing at the same time. "I think she should go alone," she said softly.

The others looked at her in surprise. "You just said—"

"I know. But Sabine knows Bridger more then we do. And besides, I think she has a romantic relationship with him," Ursa said with a teasing glint in her eyes. 

Sabine's face went even redder then it had been earlier. She put her helmet on to hid her blushing.              

"I'm going. If I don't report in before tomorrow evening, come looking for me," she said. Ahsoka nodded, and agreed.

Two Hours Later......

Sabine followed the tracker to where Ezra was supposed to be, but he was nowhere in sight. He's better not be playing with me, she thought. She gripped his lightsaber tightly. Her helmet was off, and sitting at the roots of the tree she was standing near. 

A WHOOSH came from behind her. Immediately, she put herself in defense stance. The WHOOSH came again, and a shadow-creature appeared in front of her. It was a gray-black, with sharp teeth, and long claws. It was very tall, and it was floating. 

The creature screamed again, and attacked. Sabine barely had enough time to open Ezra's lightsaber and swing it. The green blade hit the creature, and it vaporized into nothing. 

Sabine grinned triumphantly, but it quickly faded away when she put her hands on her hips. 

It got me after all......she thought. The creature had re-opened her wound. Things started to feel far away. She scrambled for her commlink. 

"Ahsoka?" She managed to get out weakly. 

"Sabine! Are you alright?" Her friend asked urgently. 

"Ahsoka.....find.......Ezra.........watch out for........shadow creatures..........one re-opened my wound.........."

"Hang on! I'm coming to find you! Just stay alive!" Ahsoka's panicked voice came in. 

But Sabine had fallen to the ground, and her commlink fell out of her hands. At least she got to see the sunset one more time. The sunset over the water. One of her favorite kinds of sunset. 

Memories flashed through her. Memories of Ezra, Zeb, Kanan, Chopper, the Ghost, Jacen, her mother, father, brother, sister, Hera. 

Hera. 

Sabine wished she could say sorry to her. She didn't mean to blow up at her mother-figure; she was just so shocked. She thought about Ahsoka, and the Rebellion. She thought about Ezra, just one more time.

A figure moved at the corner of her eye. 

It moved closer, and closer still. Then it seemed to be running. It was at her now. A hand, a human hand, touched her arm, then another at her cheek. It said something that Sabine couldn't make out.

Then it moved to where Sabine could see it, no, not it. Him. She was able to glimpse something of him before fading away completely. 

His eyes.

She had just enough time to think, E—

That was the last thing she saw, knew, thought.
