Turn Back- A Star Wars Rebels Fanfiction

Chapter 6

I probably will start to update on a different day, instead of Thursdays like usual. I put that song in this chapter just because I think it sounds awesome and the video is excellent. Sorry guys, but I forgot to update yesterday like I meant too!

Anyway, read on.

I stand in the bathroom, wondering if I really am ready for this.

It's the day that I'm supposed to go through the Path of the Jedi, and face my fears. All to find a lightsaber crystal.

The mirror reflects my face, which looks calm and normal, while on the inside, it feels like a thousand emotions are attacking me at once.

I take a deep breath and open the door. It's now or never.

~~~~~~~~~~

Ezra watches me and Kanan leave the ship. He tried to come with us earlier, but Kanan told him that this is a path I have to take alone.

We approach the mountain, and I turn to Kanan, wondering what to do next.

"We have to do it together." Kanan says, motioning towards the mountain. "That's the only way that we can open it."

He stretches out his hand and closes his eyes, so I follow his example. In the darkness, it's much easier to sense things without the distractions of the world. After looking through the endless maze of the force, eventually I come across the mountain. I focus on it, trying to lift it out of the ground.

Slowly, the ground begins to shake, and I open my eyes, not breaking my concentration. The mountain rises up and out of the ground, revealing an entry.

"Let's go." Kanan says, lowering his hand and walking towards the doorway. I follow, a little scared of the mountain sinking and swallowing us whole.

We walk inside of it, and the first thing I notice is the skeletons in jedi robes, just kneeling. I yelp and jump back and away from them, freaking out.

"Tilah, it's alright."

"What?! Are you serious? Look at all of these dead people!"

"I know, but it's not like they can hurt you. It's important to stay focused, and-"

He gets cut off as the mountain sinks down again, cutting off any escape.

"You lost focus, didn't you." He says.

"Hey, maybe you  lost focus while you were lecturing me."

He sighs. "Anyway, you need to go through there. I can't follow you, but you will not be able to leave until you are done." He points to an old stone corridor, with a small opening.

"Yeah.. Okay."

"Hey." He says, placing a hand on my shoulder. "You'll be alright."

I sigh and walk toward the opening. "I hope so.."

When I get inside of the corridor, I can hear something sliding behind me, the scrape of stone against stone. I turn, and a door has begun to slide down over the opening.

"Kanan!" I yell, panicking. I've never liked feeling trapped.

"You'll be fine, Tilah! I promise, it won't be long!"

And with that, the door slides down completely, shutting me in.

I fold my arms around myself for a minute, shivering. I guess I have to press forward now. I walk, until I come across 3 different branches in the middle of the tunnel. I look around, confused on which one I should choose. I hear footsteps behind me, and I turn, but there's no one there. The footsteps have stopped.
