Star Wars: The Second Coming

Chapter 3: Day 1

I knew how angry she was at me. I spit out the blood filling up my mouth. I was beaten but I wasn't broken. Even though it hurt to see her with so much hate and anger in her eyes, I wasn't broken. I understood why she felt this was towards me. Even if she was looking at it the wrong way. She took a path I couldn't follow. I refused to let my master down. I refused to disappoint Luke, if I were to ever see him again. As much as she felt I had left her, I feel as if she left me. I didn't have anywhere to go. They left me with nething. She left me broken and scared. That only built a path for me to become stronger.

As I leaned my head back slightly, I felt the tears fall from my face. I still couldn't quite grasp the fact that that was my sister. Who had she become? Something very dark. I saw it in her long ago. I figured I could help her. Maybe I still could.

She didn't even bother to use a lightsabre or the force on me. She used her fists. She felt that much anger towards me and it broke my heart. I don't want her to hate me. I want her back. I want my sister back. I spit another mouth full of blood onto the floor. I was exaughsted. Most of my energy was drained. I couldn't lift my head up. My thoughts became dark and I started to drift to sleep.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around. Master Luke? "It's time for you to study, young one" his soothing voice spoke. "Yes, master" I obeyed and I headed towards the library. My sister and Ben were already there. Luke would separate the training into groups. Some would meditate, train with the force or lightsabres, or study. Today was study day for the group of us. Ben and Kya already had their books out reading and laughing. I ran up to them and sat next to them, gripping a book close to me. I sensed something off with Ben. He seemed, stressed? I couldn't pick out what it was, but in a way, it frightened me.

Suddenly I heard screaming. The others, they were in pain. I coukd sense it. I heard Kya yell for me and I quickly ran out to her. "Kya?! Are you okay?" I ran up to her. "It- it's Ben! His killing all of the others!" She yelled and grabbed my arm and ran towards Luke. Luke sent us to a hiding space and told us not to come out until he says it's safe. I heard him mumble, "I was afraid of this" as he walked away. My heart was pounding and I could see the tears fall from Kya's cheeks. I could hear foot steps headed this way. Suddenly the door swung open from the small room. I felt a darkness. Ben unseathed his lightsabre, "Ben- Ben, what are you doing?!" I mumbled. I could see darkness in his eyes. He stared at both of us for what felt like an eternity and just walked away. I was shaking. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I didn't know how troubled he was.

I jolted awake, sweat beading down my face. I felt a tear roll down my face. It's been a long time since I've dreamed about that day. The day I saw a part of my sister die. I knew they had a connection. I knew he was breaking her heart. I hadn't seen him since. Maybe she has.

I tried to get sleep that night but I couldn't stop thinking about Ben and my sister. That dream was so vivid. Most of my nightmares were. It wasn't too long after that day that I had started to become sick. Kya had to take care of me after our parents had died in battle. I felt so guilty for being that burden. I held her back. I could have tried to guide her to the light. We could have found Luke together.

I had no idea what time it was but I'd have to guess it was morning. They had different storm troopers take shifts. This one had to be the morning shift. I could hear the other one walk off. I heard more foot steps headed this way. I sensed it. Sister....
