Clan Bridger 2

Chapter 4

Once the stone door finally closed, Mira felt the cold breeze from the cave behind her. She turned to the cave and saw the dark tunnel. With a deep breath she made her way down the dark tunnel.

After some time walking, Mira stopped to find herself in front of three tunnels that led to different directions. "Great. Wish I knew where to go in order to do these test. Like a map or something." Mira said.

"Maps aren't gonna help you down here. The layout of the tunnel probably changes." A voice said. Mira turned around startled to see her father walking to her. "Dad? I thought you were gonna stay at the entrance." Mira said as Ezra walked past her. "Second thoughts. I was worried about my daughter. Come on." Ezra said walking to the middle tunnel and Mira followed him.

They  walked through the dark tunnel with Mira closely following behind Ezra. She found it odd that he changed his mind without giving her a chance but shrugged it off. "So dad, what type of challenges did you do inside the temple?" Mira asked. "It was a long time ago but what I went through will probably be the same thing what you're gonna go through or different. We'll just have to see." Ezra said and Mira nodded.

Suddenly Ezra stopped making Mira stop. "Dad? What's wrong?" Mira asked. Before Ezra could answer a black chain wrapped around Ezra's neck and pulled him into darkness. "Dad!" Mira shouted and ran after him. After running Mira stopped to find herself at a cliff. She backed up a little before hearing a lightsaber ignite behind her. She turned around to see the armored Sith Mandalorian, Seth.

"Y-You." Mira stuttered scared. "I felt a disturbance in the Force coming from this planet. Who would've thought I'd see you two again." Seth said. Mira saw her father behind Seth on his knees with a chain wrapped around his neck. "P-Please, don't hurt him." Mira said in a terrified voice as memories from being on the star destroyer came back to her mind. "Don't worry. He's not who I'm after. You are." Seth said walking to her.

Ezra got up and broke the chain around his neck. "No! I'll die before I let you harm the girl!" Ezra said activating one of his lightsabers. Seth turned around. "That can be arranged." He said as the two started to clash. Seth was pushing Ezra back with each ruthless swing from his lightsaber. Ezra swing his lightsaber at Seth's head but Seth ducked and cut off his forearm. Ezra screamed in pain and he grabbed his other lightsaber and tried to attack Seth with his one good arm but Seth easily dodged him. Seth then grabbed his one arm and cut it off  with his lightsaber. Once Ezra was weakened Seth finally stabbed Ezra in the chest. "DAD!!!" Mira said with tears in her eyes. Seth pulled his lightsaber out of Ezra and kicked him off the cliff letting him fall in darkness.

"Dad, no..." Mira muttered. "Don't worry child. You'll join him soon." Seth said walking to her. Mira saw one of Ezra's lightsabers on the ground and used to force to grab it. She tried to ignite it but it wouldn't ignite. She dropped the lightsaber and stepped back in fear as Seth was walking closer to her. Seth then raised his lightsaber in the air ready to strike Mira. Mira didn't know she was on the edge of the cliff so when she took another step back she fall into the dark abyss.

Mira suddenly landed on something hard and metal. She opened her eyes to see she was in her room. She sat up to see she was alone as she got up. Mira wiped her eyes from her tears as she tried to understand what was going on. Then she heard the door to her room open and she turned her head to see her mother. "Mira, sweetie, is everything okay?" Sabine asked as she walked over to her. "M-Mom?" Mira asked as her mother kneeled down to her. "Yes. It's me. You had another nightmare didn't you." Sabine said.

"Where's dad?" Mira asked. Sabine frowned. "Mira, don't joke like that." Sabine said. Mira looked confused. "What are you talking about?" She asked. "Sweetie don't you remember? Your father died years ago." Sabine said making Mira go wide eye. "N-No. That can't be right." Mira said backing up. "It is. I'm sorry sweetie." Sabine said. "Then where's Ro? Where is she?" Mira asked making Sabine look at her confused. "Who's Ro?" She asked.  "Rona! Your youngest daughter. My baby sister! Where is she?!" Mira shouted. "Mira calm down. I don't have a second child. You don't have a baby sister." Sabine said. Mira clutched her head as she stumbled around. "No. That isn't right. I..." Mira stuttered. "Mira you don't look so good. Maybe you need to sit down." Sabine said grabbing her hand. Mira pulled away. "No. This isn't real. This is a lie. I'm not back at home." Mira said. "What are you talking about. You're standing right here aren't you?" Sabine asked. "No, I'm back at the temp--"
