It's been 10 years since the events took place on Naboo... ten years since Ellie Cullen appeared as the Butterfly, the Goddess of the Force. Now, 26 years old and Jedi Padawan to Mace Windu and Jedi Senator to the Jedi Order, Ellie is thrust back in...
I was sleeping when my phone begins to ring, making me jump from another nightmare about Maricela. After everything that has happened, I blocked both bonds as I was noticing Obi-Wan trying to contact me, but I shut that down quickly as I was not in the mood to deal with him either. I picked up my phone as I let out a groan. It was Isla, my older sister.
"Isla? How are you calling me?" I asked.
"I was about to ask you about appearing in this universe. But that's not why I'm calling you. You need to come to Tatooine now! It's Maricela! She's in trouble, deep trouble!" Isla spats.
"Why are you two at Tatooine?" I asked as I immediately sat up.
"We appeared here over a year ago and have been living in the Lars homestead since then. Come over here and help me get Maricela back. I know you're on Naboo but please come here!" Isla pleaded.
"I'll leave right now." I said before hanging up.
I immediately got up and got dressed as I was searching for my lightsaber. After I found it, I packed a bag for the trip and let out a heavy sigh.

I was really going leave Naboo to get to my sisters, knowing that I would abandon my mandate to stay here and help Anakin protect Padme. Well, yes, yes, I am. He can protect her all on his own. I'll be back by early afternoon. I immediately snuck out and walk out the lake house and onto a speeder. I zoom towards the landing bay and have R3 get the ship ready. I look back at the night scenery before boarding and flying out of here and towards Tatooine.
I hope those two would understand once I come back with Maricela and Isla.
TIME SKIP
I arrived the next day, outside of a homestead that Isla send me a picture through text. I saw her standing next a man I suspected is Owen Lars.
"R3, stay with the ship." I ordered the droid.
The droid responds as I was about to walk out when I nearly collided with someone else. I gasped as I realized it was Shmi.
"Shmi! Oh, hi!" I panicked.
"I knew you were come here so I didn't snuck up on you or say anything last night when I was busy getting things ready to go." Shmi chuckled as she place an arm around me.
"Why are you here?" I asked, panicking that Anakin might be coming here soon.
"I was about to visit my fiancée, Cliegg when I heard you speaking to your sister on the phone last night while you took off. Don't worry, I'll didn't tell Ani to follow you or anything." Shmi said as we walked out of the ship.
"Okay, thank you. I was going to tell him and Padme once we come, well I come back." I told her.
We approached Isla and Owen who was more than happy to see Shmi. Something tells me that they all knew each other and Isla didn't bother to tell me about that.
"Hey, sis! Oh, it's been a long time since we saw each other." Isla sobbed as she hugs me tightly.
"Me too. What's going on? And where's Maricela?" I asked.
"We should discuss that inside." Cliegg spoke as he was in a small floating chair. "You must be Isla's sister, Eliza. Come in, we have a lot to talk about."
TIME SKIP
"Maricela and Isla had gone out early, like they always did, to pick mushrooms that grow on the vaporators." Cliegg begins to explain. "From the tracks, they were about halfway home when they nearly killed Isla and took Maricela. Those Tuskens walk like me, but they're vicious, mindless monsters. Thirty of us, including Isla went out to save this poor angel. Five of us came back. I'd be with them... only after I lost my leg I just couldn't ride any more.... until I heal."
"And that's why I need you to help me save her." Isla added.
"This isn't how we planed on telling you about meeting your sisters, Ellie. I know I should've told you back at the Naberrie household. We were planning on telling you once we got married and moved back to Naboo. I'm so sorry." Shmi apologized with tears coming from her eyes.
"Don't. I understand." I smiled sadly at her.
"I don't want to give up on her, neither of us do, but she's been gone for a month. There's little hope she's lasted this long." Cliegg said, grimly.
"Are you ready, Isla?" I asked her.
"Come on." She said as she follows me out.
"Where are you two going?" Owen asked.
"With Ellie to find Maricela, where else I'm going, Owen." Isla replied.
"Isla, Ellie.... Maricela's dead. Just accept it." Cliegg spoke.
"She's been calling me through the force. I can feel her pain. I will find her." I said sharply.
"Take my speeder bike." Owen spoke.
I understood that he did that because he cared about Maricela and Isla so much, like his little sisters and I appreciate it.
"I know she's alive." I said before walking out the kitchen with Isla before saying to Owen, "Thank you."
He gives a sympathetic smile and a nod before he joined us. As we came outside, I nearly let out a groan as Anakin and Padme approached us. Of course, they would come after me as soon as they suspected that I left.
"Your mother's inside. Stay here, both of you, I won't be long." I said as I walk towards the bike with Isla getting on.
"No, I know what you're trying to do. I'm coming with you." Anakin stops me.
"No, Ani. This is between me and Isla. Maricela's my sister. I have to save her, even if I have to..." I drifted off when I was about to say cutting those fuckers one by one.
"Ellie, stop. I told you before that I don't wanna lose you. Let me come with you to save your sister." Anakin argued as he was right in front of me.
I damn sure didn't want him to go, but I was left with no choice. I looked at him before I gently took his hand and give him a hug soon after. After that, we pulled away as Padme walks up to me and also gives me a hug. Once we pull away, there was an extra speeder bike as we got onto that.
Isla speeds off as Anakin starts the engine and took off after Isla. Leaving Padme and Owen behind as they watched us.
