PART TWO
" He loves her, you can't defeat a love that strong "

Zayla sighed as soon as she exited her X-Fighter with Poe Dameron, General Organa's best and most trusted pilot. Zayla had seen and talked only few times with the quirky Poe. But when General Organa chose two pilots to go to the desert planet Jakku, she picked Poe and Zayla. Usually Zayla would be thrilled for a new mission, but for now the sandy desert that was whipping the sand through her hair reminded her of home. Well one of her homes, Tatooine. 

"M'lady, can Ben play with me? I got a new blaster!" Young Zayla was telling Princess Leia with full enthusiasm.

Leia smiled kindly,"Let me see-" She ducked her head in, "BEN, ZAYLA'S HERE!" She full out yelled in the house.

Leia paused when she didn't get a response, wondering where her son was. But Zayla knew, she could feel his presence creeping behind her. She whipped around and put her new blaster in front of her, finger twitching on the trigger. Ben was there, laughing with his hands above his head. His new buzzed hair revealed his bright eyes.

"How did you know I was there?" He moaned with a mix of laughter.

Zayla shrugged, "I always know when you're about to do that. Better step up your game, Solo."

"Zayla, let's go." Poe said, snapping Zayla back into action. He was right, they had to leave...just in case he came. Inside, Zayla knew deep down he was coming, which made the mission even sketchier than it was. Poe, Zayla, and BB-8 walked, and rolled to where the hut which had Luke Skywalkers location in.

"BB-8 you keep watch." Zayla whispered to the droid. The droid mummered its 'yes.'

Poe walked into the hut, Zayla following quickly behind him, "Lor San Tecca?" Poe asked in the hut.

Movement shifted in the corner and an old man stood up straight, "Yes? Who are you?"

Poe smiled gently, "I am Poe Dameron, and this is-"

"Zayla." Zayla interrupted.

Poe looked at Zayla, slightly irritated by her interruption, Zayla smirked back.

"We're with the Resistance. They told us you could help us."

Tecca sat down flicking his hand toward the two other seats, insisting Poe and Zayla to sit as well.

"These day's I can only do so much," Tecca sighed, "And there is so much more to be done. But this will make things right." Poe held out his hand but the old man shook his head.

"I am sorry Poe, but I want this youngling to take it." He turned his attention to Zayla as did Poe, "The Force is strong with you,  young one." Zayla knit her eyebrows together, the last time she had heard of the Force was when Luke Skywalker was talking about it to Ben. Ben. She could feel him coming closer.

Zayla put a hand on on the old mans shoulder gently, "You have to hide. He's coming."

"You have to leave." He took Zayla's hand in his and put the soft pouch in her hand.

Zayla looked at the old man and then at Poe. They both nodded and she stood slowly, "Thank you, The General has been after this for a long time."

The old man laughed, "'General.' To me she's royalty."

Zayla smiled sadly, "I do too." 

Poe put a hand on Zayla's shoulder, they had to leave. They ducked out of the hut and saw a dark ship was about to land. He's in there.  Zayla ran as fast as she could as BB-8 rolled beside her, whirring and sparking. Zayla noticed Poe wasn't with them, "POE!" She yelled. Poe looked at her, but she knew it was too late. The ships door hissed open, and Stormtroopers filed out. Zayla ducked as she shushed BB-8's cries for his owner Poe.

Zayla peeked from behind the boulder as she watched the kind villagers from before take out there guns and surprise the storm troopers. She watched as the Stormtroopers shot down the villagers, before they surrendered. The Stormtroopers put all the grumbling and fearful villagers in a line. Zayla could feel Ben now, she could feel him. A tall hooded man with a mask came down from the ship. Ben? Yes, she knew it was him. Her old Ben, but now he was the evil Kylo Ren. Kylo had been searching for the artifact that was now in Zayla's hand.

That's when Zayla truly knew, she was in trouble.
