Joanna Hayes is a daycare worker
Din Djarin is a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter
Both are alone in their own ways, but what happens when they're forced together?
This is probably my worst description thus far, but I'm really just trying to get back into w...
The song blasts through a phone speaker while other people are trying to watch the news.
"Caydie! Turn off that damn music!" My stepfather barks as the song comes to an end and the first notes to The Final Countdown blast through the small speaker. "I'm getting in the zone!" She pouted as I rolled my eyes. "For what? The world is ending!" He scoffed. "Precisely! End of the world sex!" She cried out dramatically as I let out a small snort from under the bed. "I need a new wardrobe if I'm going to survive the Zombies, daddy!" Thank God, she's not in charge of anything. I thought as I rolled out from under the bed and found some clothes that I would be comfortable running long distances in.

I tugged on my shirt and packed my bag with everything I would need if I had to go out on my own, which is looking like the case, and snagged the metal baseball bat that I stashed under my bed along with the 9mm my dad gave me two years ago for my 17th birthday, the day he decided he didn't want me anymore. He wanted to make sure I was protected so he didn't have to anymore. He never taught me how to use it, so I found one of my older neighbors and he brought me to a shooting range to teach me.
I quickly parted my hair into pigtails and braided them just as ET by Katy Perry came on and I started to slip out the window. "Oh, look, daddy. A rat slipped in." Caydie snarled as she and my stepfather walked through my door. "And where do you think you're going?" "Out," I say as duck my head under, and he grabs my wrist. "No," He snaps at me. "You are going to keep us safe." I frown before ducking back in. "No," a different voice says as my other wrist is grabbed. "She's coming with us." I turn to see a... a Stormtrooper? I almost let out a laugh but the people screaming at the sky makes me stop. I yank my wrist from my stepfather as the Stormtrooper pulls me out the window. "Thanks, now let me go," I say as his grip tightens. My eyes widened at this before Clark comes running over to us. "She's mine, I found her first." He says as I narrow my eyes at him. "No, she's mine." My old crush, Jack, runs over. "Stop!" I yelled as I grab the trooper's wrist, twisting it until he lets go and I bolt into the woods. "Don't just stand there! Get her!" The Stormtrooper yells at both of the boys, which only makes me quicken my pace.
I make it deep into the woods before I hear a high-pitched scream and I book it over to where I see a different Stormtrooper cornering Ashlynn on a cliff. I pull out my metal bat and run forward. "Miss Hay!" She cries out to me as the trooper turns just in time to get hit in the helmet by my bat. He crumbles and falls off the cliff. "Stay away from my kid." I seethe as Ashlynn attaches herself to my left leg. I smooth down her whispy platinum-blonde hair before kneeling to her height and wrapping my arms around her small frame that was quivering in my embrace. I soothe her until she stops crying and I pick her up, cradling her in one arm as I hold the bat tight with my free hand. "Where's your mum, honey?" I soothe as she looks up at me with her bright green eyes. "She was at the store..." she whimpers before she nuzzles into my neck, holding to me tighter before a gasp leaves her lips. I glance at her before whipping around holding my bat up, ready to swing. My stomach dropped the moment I saw five flying metal men dropping down and three more coming out of the woods. I backed up to the edge of the cliff as the five touched down in front of us. "Easy does it, now." The biggest one put his hands in front of him as I glanced down the side, my heart racing at the drop and the thought of jumping. "We're not here to hurt you." Another one said, his voice slightly higher than the first. "You have nowhere to go." A different one said as I cast my eyes down to Ashlynn. "Do you trust me?" I shiver, my stomach twisting in knots at what I have to do soon. "I trust you, Miss Hay." She breathed, as I nod and take a breath to seal my nerves before letting myself fall backward. "No!" They barked as I lost sight of them, free-falling, twisting my body so my feet are what hit the water first.
