Star Wars: The Second Coming

Chapter 24: Training

I just finished getting cleaned up for the day. Comfortable enough for training at least. Hair in a bun, comfortable clothes. I sat down on my bed and I grabbed my lightsaber from my waist. Kya gave this too me before she left. I obviously modified it to my own liking but it's all I have of her. I held onto it tight as I swarmed my mind of the memories of my sister. I closed my eyes and I invisioned the memories.

I looked around and saw the training room. I saw myself. A younger version. I was training with Luke. I could see his smile when I would do the right things. Every master appreciates there pupils success but this was different. I remember when he would train me and then the others. He treated me differently. I didn't notice it much till now. "You're doing great my young padawan. I see great potential in you" He said, laying his hand on my shoulder. I could see it in his face. He was proud of me. I beamed. "Thank you, Master" I said smiling.

My mind went elsewhere. A place that's unfamiliar. I saw Luke Holding me as a child. Kya was holding his hand. She was younger too. I don't remember this. "I will keep you safe, I promise" I heard Luke mumble to me.

"Alexia" I heard Rey speak up, pulling me from my thoughts. I pulled myself together. What was that vision? It was similar to the dreams I was having. "Are you ready?" She asked. She had a look of concern on her face. "Yeah, yeah. I'm ready" I mumbled and got up, walking with her to the training room. "I picked up a few things since training with Luke." She looked over at me. "Oh, really?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. I only had so much training from years ago. I was a bit self trained after that. I pulled out my lightsaber and we started to train.

--- Few Hours Later ---

It was a tough day for training. "You're a natural, I swear" She spoke excited. I haven't told her anything about my past really. She doesn't know I trained with Luke when I was a young child. I guess I coukd tell her. "Well, I trained with Luke a long time ago before..." I trailed off. I don't really like to talk about my past. "You don't have to talk about it" she said as she grabbed my hand gently. That was wierd? Usually she wants to know what I'm talking about. She won't push me too much but she will ask once.

Before we headed off to bed, me and Rey decided to eat. I wasn't really that hungry but I was really only going because she wanted me to. "So, you two?" I heard Poe speak up behind me. "Mmhmm and you an Finn?" I turned around and asked him. He blushed. "Mmhmm" He smiled and went to go sit down with Finn. BB-8 rolled up to me, Chewie following behind. "Hey guys" I smiled a little. It felt nice to see Chewie and BB-8 again. "Was training okay?" Chewie spoke, in wookie of course. I still had a little trouble understanding him. My wookie is a little rusty. I nodded. He came up to me and gave me one of his bear hugs. He knew something was off with me. He always knew. "I love you too, Fuzzball" I said, hugging back.

We all went and sat down and ate. Chewie wasn't eating but I guess he was there to keep an eye on me. Make sure I was okay. "I see you kept the jacket, Finn?" I said with a smirk. "Yeah, I let him keep it. Looks better on him then on me." Poe spoke up before Finn could open his mouth. I nodded. I ate a little bit of my food before going back to my room. Rey stayed and talked with the others.

I went to the bedroom and layed down. I thought about the vision I had. Where was Luke taking me and Kya? Where we're we in the first place? There's something in my past that I don't know what. Someone's not telling me something. I cleared my mind and I began to drift to sleep.

"The Sith, they're here" a woman whispered to herself. "Where's Luke when you need him?" She whispered to herself again. "Come on we need to hide, get to the bunker" the woman whispered to two girls as kaos broke out outside the small home. The girls rushed down the stairs to the cellar and the woman went down with them. I went outside the house and everything was destroyed and on fire. I saw two people with red lightsabers coming this way. Only two of them caused all this? I shouldn't underestimate them. Where they looking for the two girls?

The two men searched the homes and destroyed everything before leaving. All the screams and crying of the villagers plagued my ears. "Alexia! Kya! Nyota!" A man ran behind me yelling. Was I one of the girls that went down the stairs? The man ran passed me. "Luke?!" I tried to yell but he couldn't here me. I ran after him and the house that the girls and the woman were at. "Luke!" I yelled again running towards him. Nothing. He ran into the rubble of the destroyed house and moved everything out of the way with the force. He opened the door to the cellar and all the them, including a man came out. Was this mom and dad? I couldn't see their faces. "Are you guys okay?" He hugged each one of them. Picking up the younger girl. "Shhh, you're okay now" He asked, wiping her scared tears. Is...that me? "We have to take you all back to my temple. You will be safer there" Luke spoke sternly. I could feel his worry. The child he was holding held onto Luke tightly. "It is okay my child. I'll never let anything hurt you" He whispered to the child calming her down. I started to cry. I missed my family, my sister. I missed Luke.

I woke up, tears streaming down my face and my fists clinched. My body covered in sweat. I tried to stand up. I fell to my knees. I let the tears stream from my face and I wiped them away angrily. Rey walked in. "Hey, hey, hey, it's alright" She said softly and dropping everything she was holding and ran up to my holding me close. "Take me to see Luke" I spoke sternly. "I need to see him" I mumbled. "Tomorrow morning, before the First Order finds us here" She said cupping my face and whining my tears.
