Are We Meant To Be? *2nd book of the Other Half Trilogy*

~ Ch. 29 ~

           Acarna's POV

    So, I have no idea how but, I've been hiding in the vents for a week and they haven't found me! I'm just that good! Haven't ate or drank for this whole week, but, I've survived a month on my own during a part of my training and I didn't eat or drink anything either. It's tough, but, when you are a Sith Padawan, only the strong survive, nothing is meant to be easy. I also haven't been sleeping. I've been mapping out their whole entire Command Ship, creating a mental map, cause I don't have any paper, obviously. I've been waiting for the right time to contact Kallus about my location so we can destroy the Rebels.........but.................something's off about this whole thing.

    I could tell that everyone went to bed so, I jumped down out of the vents and into the communications room, getting ready to send a signal to Kallus. I wish Zalaan was with me.......he'd be able to crack these security codes faster than I can. Stop thinking about Zalaan! Focus! I finally cracked the code when I heard the door open and turned around, turning my lightsaber on in the process. And of course the one that is pointing a blaster at me...........is my other Half. The Lassat.....don't know his name though. Wait a second...........if he's up then................this is a trap!

    "Oi! You wouldn't want any trouble now would ya? Just put down your lightsaber and come willingly! And don't try any of that Force mind control mumbo-jumbo!" the Lassat said. All the lights turned on and more people came in. I saw Ezra and his other Half........along with two other Jedi and my long lost Uncle Lux. I only know about him because Mom has a picture of the two of them on her bedside table. I heard the door beside me open and more people came in, pointing their blasters at me. My eyes landed on Ezra and I glared at him as I dropped my lightsaber and held my hands up. They moved in and cuffed me, I could tell the cuffs were made especially for Force users, as I felt a pulse of electricity hit me. "Put her in a cell. We will question her later." One of the Jedi said. As we walked past Ezra and the others, I got free and whispered in my Brother's ear.

[ Quick A.N.-- I'm gonna have Acarna talk in her native tongue and it's gonna be in italics and bold, that's what I'm gonna start using instead of making up words and you guys have no idea what they say......ok? Ok! ]

    "We are one and the same. I am what we are meant to be! These people will turn their backs on you and you will be alone again!" I said, in our native tongue, to him before I was grabbed again and taken to a cell.

    It's just your average size cell. With a bed, toilet, window, and of course a door. They kept the cuffs on me and left to guard the door. Great! Now how am I going to contact Kallus and the rest of them?!

           Ezra's POV

    I watched as they took Acarna to a cell. Her words kept ringing in my head. I felt someone grab my shoulder and lead me away from the others. "What's bothering you?" I looked up and saw that it was Kanan. "It's nothing." I said. "It is something because you are unusually quite, and that's not like you." Kanan said, I could see the concern in his eyes. "It's only something she said......I'm going to go talk to her. She is my Sister after all." I said, and started to walk away, only for him to grab my arm and look at me like I'm crazy. "You shouldn't do that alone! She could trick you!" Kanan said. "Relax, Kany, I'll be fine." I said, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek and slipping away from him.

    I arrived in front of the cell she was in and looked in and saw she was pacing.......thinking most likely. About what...........who knows. I entered her cell and she stopped her pacing and looked at me. She smirked and I remained calm.

    "Decided to come to your Sister now? Have you finally come to your realization that you belong with me and our Mother? Instead of these foolish Rebels. And that becoming a Jedi is a lost cause?" she said, spatting the words 'Rebels' and 'Jedi' as if they were poison. "Actually, Acarna, that is not why I came here. I came here to ask you something." I said, remaining calm. She made a gesture for me to continue.

    "What is family to you? How important is it to you? Even if it's not by blood?" I asked her. "Family is everything to me. As it should be to you. But, yet, you refuse to come home." Acarna said. "Then you should understand why I choose to stay with them. These guys took me in when I was all alone. Our Aunt and Uncle were killed by the Empire that our Mother created. They became my family. Plus, I found my other Half and I love him, and I would gladly die for him, if it ever came down to that. But, I'm assuming that you wouldn't understand this, unless you found yours. It's that Agent Kallus guy, right?" I asked her. She looked away from me and said, quietly.

    "Actually, no he's.............he's not my other Half. I must marry him for the sake of our people. They want a secure Royal bloodline. It is for the best that I wed him." Acarna said, not meeting my gaze. "Wouldn't you think you'd be happier with your other Half than someone who wishes to be?" I asked her. Acarna thought on this, and answered, but, it was almost inaudible. "I don't know........" and she turned away, telling me that she was done talking to me. I sighed, and looked at her with sympathy. "Acarna...........your my Sister..........and I do want us to be a family...........but, being with our Mother..........may not be the best choice for us. I hope you will understand." I said, then walked out of her cell.........only to run into our Father. He looked at me with sadness and I hugged him as I cried, causing him to hold onto me tighter, as we cried together.

    "Will she ever see the light?" I asked our Father, Anakin. "I'm not sure but, maybe, just maybe, one of us can get her to see it........before we lose her to the darkness forever." Anakin said, letting me go and walking into Acarna's cell. Please Acarna.........don't be lost to us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[ Uh-oh!! What's going to happen to Acarna now?! Is she gonna turn her back on her Mother and the Empire?! Can Anakin save his daughter from the Darkside?! Or will a certain someone save Acarna?? Someone that is not blood related..........Oh!! And like I said earlier, from now on when I use Native Tongues; this is how it's going to look.

P.S Shoutout to my girl Rebel_Princess2015, if not for you bud than I would be so stuck right now!!

Spector 7 out!!!!!!! ]
