Skywalker

Chapter 2: Crash Course

The Falcon landed inside of the landing bay, and everyone practically surrounded it before Rey and Chewie could even get out. Alix had to practically push her way through the crowd of people to reach her mom. As soon as Rey stepped out the first thing she asked was where Alix was. She tried searching the crowd but Alix had been buried in the sea of people. 

"Mom! Mom! Over here! Mom!" Alix shouted as loud as she could which she thought didn't work but as soon as she shouted again Rey noticed her and ran over to her making her way through the crowd.

"I'm glad you're safe," Alix said.

"I'm just glad the ship is still in one piece."

"Rose said you had good news. What did you find?"

"Come with me first, it's too noisy here." Alix was grabbed by her arm and dragged all the way back to her quarters and the blast doors shut behind them.

"There's a place where you can be safe. It's a planet that lies in the Outer Rims," Rey explained.

"What's it called?"

"Dagobah."

"Dagobah? But-that's one of the worst places in the galaxy."

"Alix it's the only place that's uninhabited by any other life forms and there aren't any First Order patrols to find you. Dagobah is the only place where you can be safe."

"And where I'll be far from my friends and my mother."

Rey gave her a grieving look, "Alix, I'm sorry but this is the only way you can be safe."

Alix looked from her mother, refusing to look her in the eyes. She could feel herself welling up with tears. She didn't want to cry but she tried her best to hold them in but Rey could tell that she really wanted to cry. She needed to cry.

"When do I leave?" She croaked. Her throat swelled up and it ached.

"As soon as possible," Rey said.

—

As soon as possible? It wasn't a good enough answer for her but she was then told she would leave the next day. During that same night she had a hard time sleeping and she wasn't the only one.

Kylo was sitting on the cushion of his bed trying to figure out where in the entire galaxy she could be. It was Skywalker all over again, only he had to hunt down a map to find him and that didn't go as planned. He brushed his hand through his now disheveled hair and relaxed himself to meditate.

Alix couldn't get the thought of her leaving her friends and possibly never seeing them for a long time, so she did the one thing all Jedi did to relieve stress. She sat up on her cot and began to meditate. It only took about a good minute and a half for the both of them to feel a strange and powerful presence. They both opened their eyes and it felt like they were being pushed into a wall.

The feeling got stronger and in less than three seconds they were both staring at each other eye to eye. It was pretty awkward and uncomfortable. They didn't say a word except they could only hear each other's shallow breaths. Alix was too afraid to even find out what was happening, she ran out her room hoping that he didn't follow her but she was wrong.

"Did you just run away from me?" She looked in one direction of the hallway, she could see him in physical form but he wasn't here in physical form. 

"You seem a bit nervous when it comes to facing an old enemy," he said. "This feels all too familiar."

"How did you find me?" She snapped.

"I didn't," he said. "You found me."

"I don't even know where you are."
