Wrapping up the mans leg Saraya spoke, "Why must you always get yourself hurt?" A smile played on her lips. The man was a regular, the damage it's time? A nasty cut on his calf. The blood was pouring out, so she had quickly dressed his wounds.
"I don't know but it's a good thing you're here to help me."
After Saraya had left Ben she went to the planet Jakku to work as a healer. As it was the only thing she really knew how to do besides being a Jedi.
Standing up, Saraya collected her payment, which wasn't a lot considering this village wasn't rich, she gave directions to re-wrap the wound twice a day, and then took her leave.
Getting notice that the elder of the village needed a healer, she went to his hut. Walking along the the sand that Saraya had never liked. It would get stuck in her shoes, and fly in her long blue hair.
Saraya peeked her head in the elders door. "Hello?" Her eyes snapped toward two men that were conversing with each other. A blush formed on the girls face, as this man was handsome, "Sorry I'll leave." She hadn't seen this man around town before, so she guessed he was just visiting.
A deep voice spoke to her, "No it's fine, I seem to have head pains." Saraya walked over to the elder, placing a hand on his forehead. "You are warm, but not sick. I will give you herbs, but there not much else I can do."
The elder nodded, Saraya reached for her herb bag, grabbing the correct plants. She handed them to the elder, "place these in boiling water, let it soak, then drink it." Grabbing the bag again, she was about to stand up when she felt immense pain in her head. She stumbled back, being caught by the other man who Saraya had forgotten was with them.
She opened her mouth letting the words spill out, "He's coming." Turning towards the man with brown hair, "Whatever business you have here, you need to finish it now. "
Turning on her heel she jogged back to her own hut. Grabbing the small vault she kept in her room. Twisting her fingers she placed the code in. The vault opened, her light saber, the one she hadn't seen in years, was laying before her. Grabbing it she walked out.
Night had fallen, and the First Order was already creating chaos. Dead villagers laid along the sand. Saying a mental goodbye to those whose lives were lost, she ran into the action. Hoping to save some lives.
Reaching a group of children she noticed the scared look in their eyes, "Don't be scared," she pointed to a small ditch, "Hide there, stay down until they leave." The children nodded and did as she said. Saraya turned around hoping to save others, but pain invaded her mind.
He was close.
Saraya turned a corner trying to put as much distance as she could in between the two. Much to her dismay, she had been cornered by stormtroopers. Instead of killing her they grabbed her arms, roughly dragging her across the sand. Their white uniforms contrasting greatly with her black attire.
She struggled greatly, and even tried her mind persuasion but to no avail. It had been a while since she had even practiced, or used her powers. Accepting defeat Saraya stared at the sand.
One foot followed another, until they stopped, and her eyes caught the black covered feet on the sand. Her eyes widened, then trailed up the rest of the persons body. Black covered the entirety of the figure.
Her eyes reached the face, and immediately the memories flew back to her.
"Ben wait up!!" Her hands reached out for him. Unexpectedly she tripped over a rock. Causing her to fall on the grass-covered ground.
At the age of sixteen Saraya was extremely clumsy, and would trip over anything. Her eyes zeroed in in her knee, where blood began to ooze out. The girl looked around for her best friend, but saw him no where.
A gentle hand touched her back causing her to turn around, "Ben, you came back!" A small smile formed on her lips, and a blush covered her cheeks.
"I never left." Saraya narrowed her eyebrows at his answer. "I couldn't see you, I thought you had left me."
His chocolate brown eyes gazed into hers. "I would never leave you," Ben's hand slid down into her own, "never."
A gasp brought her back to her current situation. She was still looking at who she knew to be was Kylo Ren. Or who was previously Ben Solo, her lover.
He had left her when he went to the dark side. He had left her alone, and scared, not the other way around. He abandoned her.
"Take her onboard, and to the interrogation room." Saraya wasn't expecting to be taken onboard, she had thought that she would be killed on the spot.
She was once again dragged into the ship, and placed into the dark room. Her body was strapped into a metal board. A stray tear left her eyes.
After some time the door was opened, Saraya didn't bother looking to see who it was, she knew. Her bonds came undone, and she quickly rubbed her sore wrists. "If you would, please take off your mask, I would like to see the man I once knew."
His hands slowly reached for the bottom of it, and pulled it off. Before she could react he spoke, "Why did you leave me?"
Gently she stepped forward, and placed a hand on his cheek. "Oh Ben, I never left you." Her hand dropped back to her side, and she stepped back.
"You left me."
