Star Wars: The Second Coming

Chapter 15: We Made It

We shot down the cannons before they could shoot us down. We flew to the nearest planet. Tatooine. We knew The First Order would immediately be after us. We came down their to find a better ship. I was assuming we were going to the resistance base or to Luke. She landed and we stayed in the tie fighter for a while. "I'm sorry I got you in all this again" I spoke. "It wasn't your fault" She reassured me. We got out of the tie fighter and we started walking into the small town. Rey rapped her arm around her shoulder, going me support. I was beat up. "Do you have anyone you trust here?" I asked. "No, I've never even been here before. We just have to get a ship and leave" She spoke softly. "We have to be careful." I whispered.

She sat me down and attended to my wounds with anything she had with her. "So that's your sister?" She asked, cleaning the cuts on my face. "Yeah..." I mumbled, flinching as she cleaned up the wounds. "She hurt you..." She looked in my eyes with sympathy. "It's nothing" I said, looking away. If anything, it hurt on the inside more then anything on the outside. "It's not nothing. I know you're hurting" She spoke softly. "She's the one who's suffering. Of course it hurts that I have to see her like that. She turned against me." I spoke calmly. She held my face. "I know you're afraid she's to far gone" She wiped the tears that started to fall.

"We have to go" I whispered. Some of the villagers seemed to have suspicions. We obviously weren't storm troopers. They knew something was up. She helped me up and we hurried to find a ship before the first order arrived. We looked around and spotted a working one. No one seemed to own it. We got in and I sat in the small ship. "We have to leave by morning" I spoke up. "They will be here by morning for sure" I mumbled. This time, I'm not sure if I'll be able to face my sister. It hurt me too much to know she was suffering. Apart of me wanted to join them. Another part of me wants to stay with Rey. I couldn't hurt her like that but I also didn't want to lose my sister for good. I already felt like I have but I couldn't just give up like that. I don't want to lose her again but I don't want to lose myself either.

Rey was fixing the ship a bit so we would be as prepared as possible. "I can sense your conflictions" She spoke up. "I don't want to talk about it" I mumbled. I'm tired. I don't want to feel this way. I know I shouldn't become attached. She's already gone, right? I shouldn't even be attached to Rey, but I love her. "You shouldn't keep it inside, Alexia" She said, coming over and sitting next to me. "I don't want to lose her again but she's too far gone" I spoke low. I didn't want to talk about her like that. It felt like I was just giving up. "She's not the person I knew but I can't give up on the possibility that there is light in her" I mumbled and I tried to keep my voice from breaking. "You can't become attached to her. She's dark." She layed her hand on mine. "I'm not supposed to be attached to you either" I looked up at her. I could see hurt in her eyes. "I don't want you getting hurt. This is my fight" I held her hand. "I was pulled into it. I'm not leaving you when you need me the most. Tomorrow, we're going to the resistance base. General Leia may be able to help" She spoke sternly. I nodded. She got up and got back to working on the ship.

I got up and went to the small room and layed down. I needed as much rest as possible. If I had to face Kya tomorrow, I need to at least try to be ready. I put my blonde hair in a bun and out of my face. I curled up and tried to sleep but my mind was restless. I replayed every memory I had of my sister and Ben. My parents. Luke. I could feel warm tears fall. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
