21 BBY, Coruscant
*A character that was introduced earlier (Coria) does NOT belong to me! She is an OC of a friend of mine, and their Wattpad account is @kenmas1switch. Coria is first introduced in 'The Murder Batallion'. Please give their fics a read! (<33 when you see this)
Spitfire left without saying another word. I cried and cried, for Avalyn, for my mother, for Lecti, and for the other enslaved people. My heart ached for them.
***
A few hours of restless sleep, love for my family, and fear were the only things powering me. I had to save my remaining family.

Spitfire did have friends. An unmarked transport ship was positioned neatly on a landing zone. Large enough for 20 people if need be. Dark in color, carbon scoring tearing down the side. R-9 was plugged into a port and checking the ship. Good little droid, that one was. Hyperdrive was at 93% efficiency, fuel was full, no major issues. The rest of the Runaway force was now there, loading the ship with everything we could possibly need. Spitfire stood beside me, and put a hand on my shoulder. It was comforting.
"We can do this." He reassured me.
"Thank you." I was not just thankful for him, but for all of them.
I had to leave without letting the council know. This is disobeying the council and the Jedi Masters directly. But none of that matters right now. I need to save my family. Before we left, I needed to talk to Coria. We met in her chambers.
"I'm leaving." I told her.
"Where?"
"To save my family, on Zygerria. I'm disobeying orders and abandoning The Order." The shock on her face prompted the rest of what I had to say. "Don't worry, I'll be back." I grabbed her hands gently. "Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't tell them where I'm going. I can't be distracted from my mission." Coria squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, as if thinking.
"Fine."
"Thank you." I hugged her. Her curly purple hair tickled my face. "You're a good friend."
"Hurry. Master Windu contacted me this morning asking about you. He could be hot on your trail."
"Ok." I sprinted out of her chambers, my boots thumping quietly against the carpet of the temple.
