Decisions

Burning Past

Lyra's P.O.V:

I get sucked into darkness after trying to get Kanan to stop attacking Steel. As color surrounds me a memory starts to play in my head. I sit in the Medi bay on my bed. Something is bugging me but the big problem is I don't know what is bothering me. All I know is that I need something to distract me and the first thing that pops into my head is a song. One I haven't heard in years because it was my mother's. It had a mix of Jedi lessons in it helping me learn at young age. It was something I fell in love with because it was one of the few things that my mother had that I can have that wasn't lost with my past. Lost with the people of Floral. Lost with my past.

Burning papers into ashes...

What a season.

How they fly high,

From the ground, ohhh...

There is yet another fountain,

Flowing over.

As the night falls, Keep dreaming

Away...

If you hold on to your past

Don't you

Lock yourself inside.

Nothing has been done before...

It's the most...

Virgin dress

you could

possibly

wear...

Mess it up...

Time is up...

Hold your memories for

a moment.

With a blind hand,

write some stories,

for tomorrow...

Find a bottle amnesia.

Find instructions,

to salvation,

to oblivious.

Supreme...

Don't be tempted to look back :

it has all happened before

Someday, miraculous spread...

Will forgive

every cowardly thing

that you've done.

that I've done...

Dust it off...

I whip a tear away and look at my hands in my lap. "Hold your memory's for a moment." I whisper softly. I had all my life and it never seemed like enough time. I sigh and get up head to my bed room door. When it opens I see Kanan standing at the door. I look up at him and he looks at me. I throw my arms around him and cry into his shirt. "I miss mom." I whisper softly. I feel another pair of arms rap around me and I open my eyes to see a blurred Hera hugging me.

Kanan's P.O.V:

I get thrown into darkness but quickly see the cockpit and clear space in front of me. I sit in the cockpit and decide to go check on Lyra. I get up and head to the Medi bay. Before I reach the door I hear someone singing inside. It doesn't make since the only one in the Medi bay is... Lyra? I walk closer to the door and I hear some of the words.

Hold your memories for

a moment.

With a blind hand,

write some stories,

for tomorrow...

I listen in to see who it is even though I'm sure it's Lyra. That song is what Niallie used to sing to her when she was little. Lyra stops singing and I wait for her to do something but the door opens and she's right there. She throws her arms around me and I hug her back. Hera walks out and see's us. I look at her with a lost look and she looks at Lyra. "I miss mom." She says and I swear I crack. I look at Hera and see tears in her eyes. She walks over to us and hugs us both. She can see how broken both me and Lyra are. For a second I think everything can work out that we'll all make it out of this okay but I know that's just a hope. I look at Lyra and Hera. My girls. My love. My life. Lyra once my past now both my past and by future. Hera my future. I pull them closer as Hera lets her head fall onto my shoulder. Lyra hums the toon softly but I hear it. I run my fingers through her hair and look at her. My angel. My daughter. My Lyra.
