Dakota Kenobi: The Hardship.

Chapter 2

Dakota's POV
I slowly stood. Gazing into the red eyes of the cloaked man in front of me.
"Drex?" I asked, walking closer.
"Yes?" He asked, pulling his cloak down.
"Drex!" I yelled happily. Running towards him, I hugged him, he pulled me closer into a warm embrace.
"Dakota..." He asked, his voice filled with sorrow.
"Yes?" I asked, pulling back from the hug and looking into his eyes. He looked troubled.
"You need to leave..."
"What do you mean?" I asked, getting worried.
"Thus planet is the next target of the First Order. If you don't leave...." I cut him off.
"They will capture me get the information they need and kill me." I stated. Looking down.
"I'm sorry..." Drex started, I put my hand up and he was silenced.
"I'm gonna miss this place..." I said, placing my hand down, jumping over the bar and heading to the door. Drex right behind me.

I walked into the small hut I lived in, grabbing the few items I had and tossing them into a bag.
"Do you have a ship?" I asked, Drex nodded as he stood out and led me out of the hut. I stopped, dead in my tracks as I heard a whirring sound. Drex had heard it too and was stopped.
Tie fighters.... They've come.
My heart started to race, Drex grabbed my hand, his black cloak was off and I could see his grey jedi clothing, his saber at his side, the brown hair he had was shaggy and was slowly bouncing as we ran. I heard fires shot and people screaming. I ran faster, both my sabers jiggling along with the pace. Drex had finally stopped at a large, probably stolen, Star fighter, there was space for two people, Drex leaped in, I, not far behind. The sounds of Tie fighters were getting closer.
"Quickly Drex!" I yelled as he launched the ship into the air, we were off the planet in seconds.
"Fast one eh?" Drex asked.
"Very." I said, sitting back and closing my eyes.
If only I could have told myself this morning that this would have happened, then... I could have been ready...
