Attack on the Twins

(Takes place late 36ABY)

Gwren would be kidding herself if she said she hadn't come to deeply care for the twins over the last two years. Atsen was a green little angel, and although Talon was a bit more of a handful Gwren loved her all the same. When Gwren thought about how much she fought with her sister about raising them she felt a little bit of shame as the last two years had been the best of her life.

It was the start of harvest season and the droid farm hands she own were overwhelmed by the amount of produce this year so she had to join the field to keep them on schedule. Suu had finished her month long stay about a week previous so Gwren was at first confused when she saw a ship approaching from the atmosphere. But suddenly she realized that was not her sister's ship, it was First Order.

Knowing the warnings Suu had given her about the First Order and the twins father she dropped everything and ran to the house. The caregiver droid greater her in the kitchen.

"Welcome home Master Leh-Lawquane, you are early-"

The droid didn't get to finish its sentence as Gwren stabbed it in the head with the stun tool she used on the Eopie and turned it to full output, she could only hope it was enough to fry its memory as it was the only thing other than Gwren and Suu, and Suu's commanding officer that knew about the twins existence. She started frantically looking for the twins.

"Talon, Atsen, come here kids. Now!"

Atsen was just behind a hair and came into view, and Talon carefully waddled down the stairs. Gwren grabbed a handful of credits that were in a drawer and the twins, then lifted the stone tile that revealed an underground tunnel. She had been working on this tunnel in secret ever since the twins were born, not even Suu knew about it. She lowered the twins down and then hopped down herself, pulling the stone back down over her.

She activated a light on her belt and turned to find the welding rope she had stored right next to tunnels entrance. She grabbed it, stuck it around the The seems of the secret floor door, and tore the end which activated it. Gwren covered the twins eyes and closed her own as the rope did it blinding job.

"Where are we Auntie G?" Atsen asked, quite scared.

"We are going on an adventure, and you must do everything that I ask, ok?"

"Ok."

"Talon?"

"Yes, Auntie G."

"Good, now come along, we must hurry."

She had a pouch on her front meant to hold stuff and Talon fit just right, Atsen she had to carry the old fashion was on her back. Combined they were heavy, but she traveled faster then if they were walking beside her. Only a couple minutes later the ground above her shook, like it a large ship had landed above. She doubled her pace and kept heading for the tunnels end.

After several heart pounding minutes she reached it and carefully lifted that ends trap door to see if there were anymore in eye shot of her. All she could see was her tall crops which she hoped would prevent the First Order from seeing her too.

She lifted and pushed the cover out of the way and lifted the children up, then heaved herself up as well. Before picking the kids back up she whispered to them.

"I need you to be very silent until I tell you otherwise, this is very important."

She picked them both back up and ran for the nearby town of Akira where she knew she needed to get off world. She also knew that soon the Troopers would realize she wasn't on her property and would automatically check the only town within running distance. As she ran she made sure to run under any cover there was to avoid TIE's if there are any looking from above.
