The Fett Legacy

CHAPTER 7

When we arrived back at the Revenant, T3 was waiting for us.

"Oh, good, you rescued the child," he said, walking toward Rosemary.

"Hey, T3! It's good to see you again," she said, patting the droid on the back.

"Okay, let's get outa this place," Zors said as he entered the ship. We followed suit, and I climbed to the cockpit. Rosemary followed me and when we arrived at the top, I sat down in the pilot's seat. Rosemary sat in the co-pilot's seat, but as soon as Zors arrived, she stood up and moved to a third seat behind him.

"Hey, Jetta?" She asked.

"Yah?" I responded as I closed the ramp and took off, flying back into space.

"So, like, why is there a picture of Poe Dameron down in the cargo hold and why does it have darts thrown it?" Shr asked curiously. Zors snorted and looked at me. I sighed and said, "Um, well, that's a long story."

"You loved him, didn't you?"

The whole cockpit was silent for an unbearable amount of time. I looked at Zors and he shrugged.

"Yes, I did once," I answered slowly. "So much that we were engaged." Rosemary gasped and Zors shifted uncomfortably. He always hated when I spoke of my love of Poe Dameron. I would love him, though, if it weren't for Armitage.

"You were engaged?" Rosemary squealed. "How romantic!"

"No, it wasn't. It seemed forced, rushed. Poe and I loved each other, but we were far too different. When the civil war on Kijimi broke out, he fought with the rebellion, and I fought against them. We all had disguises, so nobody knew who was who; I even removed my helmet for the war.

"Poe and I eventually got into a hand to hand combat, but we didn't recognize each other. Plus, it was pitch black; the only light was from that of blasters. He tried to stab me, but I stopped him. He was only able to scar my face with it. Whe he stood up, preparing to kill me, I knocked him down and shot him in the knee and ran away."

The next day, I went back to the site of the battle. Carnage was everywhere. I could hardly see, and I was in great pain. I had seven scars and had lost loads of blood. That's when I saw him. The man who had attacked me last night. I recognized the jacket he had worn. I ran over to him and attempted to kill him without him noticing. He turned around, and with tears in his eyes, said, 'Jetta, I am so sorry." I looked at him in disbelief. I didn't say anything, but threw the ring he gave me back to him and left. I left him, I left Kijimi, I left everything."

Rosemary remained quiet for a long time again. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to get upset. I-"

"It's not your fault, kid. Sometimes, it is good to open up about things after bottling them up for so long."

"Yah, I guess," she said softly. "I'm going back down to the cargo hold." She left the cockpit, and Zors and I were alone.

"Jetta..." Zors started.

"Please, not now Zors," I said, stabilizing the thrusters of the Revenant.

"Why didn't you tell me this? I knew you loved each other, but I never knew you were engaged."

"It's not something I like to talk about, Zors, so drop it." I commanded. It was painful enough to try to remember it all. Now I'm part of the first order and Poe is part of the Resistance. We were officially done with each other. At least, I thought so.

When we arrived back at the first order dreadnought, I noticed Kylo Ren's ship was coming in as well. I followed him in to the hangar, and landed next to him. We left our ships at the same time. When he walked out, he looked over at me.
