Heartbreak... anguish, the galaxy sitting on her chest, crushing her ribcage, breaking her heart and crushing her lungs, blood filling them, moving up into her windpipe. And sitting up, she grabbed her throat, her eyes wide as she choked, and coughed.

Red spraying everywhere, soon - all she could feel, all she could taste, all she could smell, all she could see; was the red, was the coppery, metallic taste. And if was too much, it was too overwhelming.


She gagged, one last time, tried to take one last breath, but... it was over. And slowly, her hands fell from her throat as her body fell back, but it didn't hit the bed. Her body, was drifting in space, blue and white stars in a darkened world, all around her, her eyes were opened, her clothing was stained with blood, but she wasn't in her body, she could just... see her body, see the stars...

And slowly, her body turned its head to the side, and looked into the distance. Suddenly, she traveled through the galaxy, going faster than lightspeed, but she could see everything as she passed it, quick and brief images of planets, solar systems... ships, battles, suns, moods, all of it!


She saw all of it until, she stopped, at a tan colored planet. She then entered the atmosphere and saw the Finalizer, she saw a jungle and a huge dark grey building that had been a temple.

The jungle enlarged, next to a mountain, until there was a secluded spot and she saw a girl, laying on the bank of a pond, blood and tears coming from her eyes and she just looked so broken...

Though her mouth didn't move, there was a voice that undoubtedly belonged to the girl, "Help me, Rey. You're my only chance."

Rey sat up in her bed, her eyes wide, then her hands flew to her throat as she started to cough violently, wracking her body and barely giving her enough room to breathe, and she needed to breathe. Right now would be nice; Rey stumbled out of her bed, falling on the ground and dragging herself over to the pitcher of water she had set, her hand stumbled around blindly for it until she grabbed the handle and happened to knock over a couple of glasses, making them fall over and shatter on the floor.


She didn't care, not now. The water was freezing cold, it didn't matter right now. Rey just quickly tipped her head back and started to drink it, and while she thought it would help, she coughed when she started to drink it, which caused it to move down her airway and start to give her an even harder time to breathe.

Luckily for her, someone happened to hear the noise she was causing.


Finn was quick to run in the room and grab her, seeing the absolute panic and fear in her eyes as she reached to him, he didn't know what to do. He knew she was choking, he just didn't know how to help, therefore, he was panicked, "Han! Luke! Help! She's choking!" Finn shouted loudly as he briefly left the room to grab the attention of the others.

Then be went back to Rey, kneeling down on the glass and holding her, the panic steadily rising because he didn't know what he was going to do. Thankfully, Han and Chewie were both in here in a flash, the older man moved Finn out of the way and pulled Rey into his lap, putting pressure on her chest to see if that would help her breath, it didn't.

"There's something in her throat," he mutter to himself, then he looked to a panicked Chewie, "Get me my satchel!" He demanded, he had some kind of liquid that would help to dissolve whatever was choking her; his wookie was gone for a couple of seconds before returning with the satchel and handing it to Han. Who then opened it, took out the bottle, unscrewed it and then held his daughter's head still to pour it down her throat. And after a couple of second of gasping for breath, Rey relaxed in Han's lap and closed her eyes.
