Rebel's Phantom of the Opera

~ Ch. 1 ~

              ~ Think of Me ~ ~ A.N: start the song when it get's to Hera ~

    The Lothal Opera House filled with sounds of the violins and the melodic voices of the singers as they rehearsed for tonight's performance, for this is their last chance to save the Opera house. A certain female Twi'lek waltzed through the stage floor as she danced gracefully with her partner.

    When she was only 7 when her parents had died of a strange disease that is incurable. She was an orphan for most of her life, living on the streets and begging for food. That was until she met a handsome man with his adopted daughter. Without a second thought, he took her in and raised her as his own. Her Father's name? Ezra Bridger, late 20's.

    She was just dipped backwards by her partner when their rehearsal was interrupted. The manager of the building was walking towards the center of the stage, getting everyone's attention.

    "Everyone, may I have your attention please. As you may know there has been some rumors going around about me quieting my post as the manager of this building. I can now tell you that this is all true." Their manager, Edward spoke. Gasps and murmurs spread like wild fire as the people started to talk amongst themselves. Hera frowned at this realization, she knew he was going to quit one day, she was hoping it wouldn't be today.

    "So, it would give me great pleasure to introduce the new owners of the Lothal Opera house, Mr. Chop Pier and his wife Mrs. Diane Pier." Edward said, as the two know people waved from their seats in the stands.

    Claps and cheers were heard all around as the newcomers came onto the stage to meet people. Mr. Chop was dressed in a black suit and tie style, while his wife, Mrs. Diane, clung to his arm, seeming to be nervous about her new position. Her emerald eyes glowed with wonder as she gave a smile to the applauding members of the Opera.

    "Thank you everyone for welcoming us into your theatre." he patted his wife's hand. "We would like to introduce you to our new patron as well, Kanan Jarrus." Mr. Chop said. While claps resumed from the members of the Opera, a young girl with navy hair with raven highlights, started to make her way to her Twi'lek step-sister.

    "Hera, it's rude to ignore our new guests to the theatre." Sabine said. Hera just kept browsing through the new music on the table they were near. "It's not like it's going to really matter anyway Sabine. We will never see them. They are on the business end and will most likely just stay in an office." Hera said. Sabine let out a huff and looked over at the new people. She new Hera had never told her everything, even though they have grown close throughout all their years together since their Father had found them. "Will you at least look at the patron? He's quite handsome if I do say so myself." Sabine said. Hera gave a huff and turned around for Sabine's amusement. Why couldn't she just drop it? It's not that Hera had nothing against the new people, she just never felt comfortable with people she barely new.

    Once Hera made eye contact with the patron, her whole body stiffened instantly. Those stormy green eyes and dark brown hair pulled back in a ponytail were much too familiar to the Twi'lek. Hera couldn't help but feel her cheeks start to heat up instantly as her green eyes loomed over the slightly older man before her. Her heart beat a million miles a minute as joy and excitement reached the Twi'leks face.

    "It's Kanan." Hera whispered to herself, hoping Sabine didn't hear her. Sadly she did. "You know him?" Sabine asked her sister. She couldn't help but grin as she watched her sister jump and struggle to remain calm.

    "Y-yeah......you could say that. When my parents were still alive, Kanan and I were close friends. I guess you could say we were childhood sweethearts. He would always call me "Little Era" to annoy me. I found it funny because he could never say the letter 'H' until he we were 8." Hera looked over to see Sabine, with a Cheshire cat grin on her face. "Little Era' huh?" Sabine said, teasingly with a smug grin on her face. Hera glared at her. "Don't even think about it." she said. "What? Oh, come on, Hera, it's a cute nickname. Besides he is handsome!" Sabine said. The navy haired girl said, turning her gaze back to where the managers were talking, as Zeb, the famous tenor singer, introduced himself to Kanan.
