Star Wars: The Second Coming

Chaoter 25: Why Did They Come?

"THEY ARE COMING" my mother screamed, running back into the house and grabbing me and my sister. My eyebrows furrowed, it was like I was watching my memories through glass. I didn't understand, this was the day of the invasion but why was I dreaming of this? We're my dreams somehow attached to Alexia's? Was she seeing this? I didn't want her to remember how terrified me and my mother were.

"MOMMY, MOMMY WHATS GOING ON?!" I screamed grabbing my baby sisters hand and running to her. Alexia stumbled behind, beginning to cry as the sounds of screaming villagers filled the air.

"The sith are coming...." She mumbled, and I froze. I remembered the invasion... But I had no idea they were Sith... Why were the Sith here?

"SITH?! WHY ARE RHE SITH HERE?!" I screamed, but she couldn't hear me.

"Where's Luke when you need him... Come on, we need to hide. Get to the bunker" she grabbed me and headed into the bunker.

I sat up shaking in my bed, the room was cold and dark and for once in a long time... I felt fear. I didn't understand, when did the Sith come to Naboo? What were they looking for... What significance does this memory have?...

I thought about my mother, she did everything for me and Alexia, everything she sacrificed... The Jedi left her for dead. I stood from the bed in the dark room, my face becoming wet with tears, I let out a scream, throwing anything I could get my hands on before I collapsed onto my knees and held myself together. I needed her and the Jedi let her die, and they corrupted my sisters mind.

"KYA?!" I heard his voice call as he ran in, turning on the lights. We were getting closer to Alexia, closer to the resistance base. I could FEEL her. He slid on his knees next to me, grabbing my face and looking at me. "what happened?? Are you hurt." I shook my head and stood up, pushing him away.

"Bad dream, I'm fine." I began to walk out the door, I needed to get out of this room. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into him.

"Stop this. What's going on?" I pulled myself out of his arms, he made me weaker with every word, and I was already vulnerable. "Kya"

"It is nothing, my lord" I mumbled, as I briskly left the room, bringing my dark hair up into a bun. There was something about that dream that I couldn't shake... And I couldn't help but notice... My father wasn't there.... Why?

We landed on a nearby planet to reapply, the troopers headed out quickly, knowing that we didn't have much time. We had to retrieve the girls as quickly as possible. I wandered back to my room, Kylo was no where in sight. I didn't want to hide from him, but I didn't understand what to even thing, what would I tell him? Why did the Sith come that day?! It was bothering me. I swear I could hear them calling for me too... I shook my head, and decided to rest again to try to figure out more, I needed to have as much energy as I could if we got to D'qar in the morning.

"Alexia don't run so fast" I laughed chasing after her, it was a few weeks since master Luke brought us here, Alexia felt at home right away but I longed for my home on Naboo. My mother kneeled In front of us, embracing Alexia as she ran into her arms smiling and laughing. I caught my breath sitting on the green grass as I looked at all the other young children Luke was training, bringing back the Jedi. My mother placed a gentle crown of flowers upon my head, something she made from time to time and then one on Alexia's head before she walked off to go somewhere. Alexia smiled and hugged me.

"MOMMY MAKES THEM SO PRETTY" she clapped excitedly.

"Yeah" I smiled thinking about my mother. Luke approached Alexia shortly after, holding out his hand to her and she took it, a big smile on her face, she was going to have her first lesson today, while I started mine the day after we got here. I waved goodbye to her and laid back to look at the clouds, something I did when I had spare time.

A dark figure covered my view, but I couldn't see their face because of the backlight. I sat up, cocking my head to the side as I looked at the young, dark haired boy.

"Hi" he mumbled shyly, picking up my flower crown from the ground and placing it gently on my head. He sat down in front of me, and I gave him a smile, I didn't have any friends, and I was excited. "My names Ben" he smiled for the first time and I giggled.

"Ben" I repeated, smiling at my fingers. "I'm Kya" I mumbled shyly.

"Wanna share my fruit?" He asked nicely, handing me one of the fruits he was holding, I took it slowly and he smiled, biting generously into his. I didn't know then that he would turn out to be apart of my destiny.

"Kya" I was shaken gently "kyaaaaaa" I opened my eyes and groaned, stretching my arms out and sitting up. I had hoped to have more dreams involving the Sith... But I guess they only came when I was very vulnerable. Kylo sat on the edge of my bed, holding something wrapped in his hands. His gloves were off and the corner of his lips were curled in a small smile.

"What is it? Have we landed" he shook his head.

"Soon" he cleared his throat. He held out the wrapped package and placed it gently in my hand. "I found this when we were re supplying" I opened it up slowly, and there was a fruit. The same fruit he offered me that first day. "They are your favourite?" I stared at it. Remembering Ben...

"Kylo..." I mumbled, looking up at him. His eyes met mine and he stared, "you are becoming weak..." He clenched his jaw and stood up.

"What.... Do you mean? How dare you?"

"When you... Are with me... Hux was right" I looked at the floor.

"STOP." He yelled, turning his back to me. "I DO NOT NEED TO HEAR THIS" I stood up.

"You don't see it? Kylo I see it, I become weak too..." He turned to look at me, walking closer, his eyes full of... Pain, confusion, anger.... "You must remain strong you cannot let me get in the way"

"And what makes you think you get in my way Kya? You think I feel for you?" This caught me off guard, and I froze in my tracks. I assumed this is why he has done what he has done for me.

"I-"

"You think I love you?"

"No... My lord" I let out a shakey breath.

"Good, I don't." he put on his hood, but I sensed a disruption from him, he looked away from me and left my room quickly. I stared down at the fruit in my hands. If I were to stay strong, I needed to let go of this weakness I felt.

But at the same time, my heart hurt...
