Are We Meant To Be? *2nd book of the Other Half Trilogy*

~ Ch. 62 ~

                Sabine's POV

    We all fell asleep in the hallway last night. By us I mean me, Bobba, Zeb, Kanan, Hera, and Rey. We didn't want to leave in case something happened. When we woke up, Zeb and I went inside to check on Ezra and Acarna. What we saw was really cute. Ezra is holding Acarna close and it seems like Acarna cried last night. It was evident due to the dried tear stains on her face.

     "Ezra must've woken up cause surely he did that, right?" Bobba asked, coming in after us. "Yeah, come on, we better leave. It won't be nice if we wake them." I said, trying to get the boys out of the room. When the door opened, I heard groaning and I turned back around, thinking that Ezra was finally waking up. It wasn't Ezra who was waking up, it was Acarna.....and she seemed troubled. "Acarna? Is everythi-" I didn't get to finish my sentence as I felt the air leaving my body and I started to claw at invisible hands at my throat as I was being lifted up off the ground. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the same thing happening to Bobba. I looked back at Acarna and her eyes were gold. "A-acar...." I tried to say her name but, the hold kept getting tighter and tighter. I heard people running in and Zeb was calling out to her, trying to get her to snap out of it. I soon started to see black spots at the corners of my eyes and my muscles grew weak. Until I was finally let go and I fell to the floor, coughing and taking huge gulps of air. I looked up and saw Acarna in Anakin's arms.

    "She took too much of the pure evil energy that was inside Ezra. She didn't consciously know what she was doing." Anakin explained. "I-it's alright." I said, still catching my breathe. I understand that she's still confused and taking all that energy out of Ezra would, of course, have some nasty side-effects. "Anakin......we should assess how much she took." Obi-wan said. "No! That procedure is hurtful. It was banned years ago!" Anakin protested. "It's the only way to see if she is still herself and not completely swallowed by the darkness like what........" Obi-wan didn't finish his sentence. I figured he was going to say Ahsoka. But, it's always painful to bring up a lost loved one. Anakin looked at Obi-wan then down at Acarna in his arms, and nodded. They left, along with Lux while Kanan and the rest of our crew stayed in here, waiting for Ezra to wake up.

              Acarna's POV

    Ash. That was covering the entire ground. As I walked, I could hear the fires raging. The battles were endless. The bodies that laid, scattered the ground. Where am I? Broken lightsaber pieces were everywhere. I tripped and hit my head off the ground. I woke up and rubbed my head, looking around, I saw Ezra laying next to me......only we were in chains!! They were very loose chains though, which is odd if these people kidnapped us. I looked up to see two Sith looking back at me. I don't know how but, I knew their names. Darth Bane and Darth Traya.

         [ Darth Traya  -- this is who Acarna is seeing but, in reality, it is really Sabine ] (And yes I know it's a Cosplayer but, there really are no good/decent pictures of Traya)

                    [ Darth Bane -- This is who Acarna is seeing but, in reality, it's actually Bobba ]

    Before either of them could realize that I was awake, I reached out my hand and had both of them in a Force hold. As I was lifting them up off the ground, I heard someone calling out to me. Who is it? I'm right here! Can't you see me?! Is what I wanted to say but, no words came out of my mouth. Then, not even a minute later, Zeb's face appeared in front of me and I shook my head and fell back into darkness, hearing two dull 'thuds' in the distance.

    I woke up to immense pain. I was in some medical room and someone was holding my arms behind my back, and I felt hands on my head. Standing across from me is my Father, Anakin. What's going on? I then felt a stronger jolt of pain and cried out. It was as if someone was forcing their way inside my mind and soul.........this pain was unimaginable! I looked at my Father...only to see he was looking away from me, a frown on his face. I don't know how long it has been but, it felt like eternity and the pain just kept coming. I usually, scratch that, I always, hold back my screams of pain but this..........this was too much.......even for me. I looked at the floor and didn't even realize the words coming out of my mouth. It was as if my body became defensive on its own accord.

    "Father........please........help me..............please................Dad." I spoke, tears falling freely down my face, against my will. Not even a moment later, I was in my Dads arms and he started to yell at people behind me as I held onto him as if my life depended on it.

    "I told you this was a horrible idea! She's my daughter!! I can't believe I just let this happen!! No more! I'm taking her to her room!!" Dad yelled. I felt him carry me, bridle style and I buried my face in his chest, as the tears kept coming. He took me to the Ghost and we entered my room. I could feel Zeb's presence in my room before we even entered. My Dad set me down on my bed and faced Zeb while I turned away from them.

    "How is she?" Zeb asked, concerned. "She needs rest. She'll be alright in the morning. I need to go to a briefing. Can you do me a favor Zeb?" my Dad asked him. "Anything, sir." Zeb said. "Please stay with her and watch her for me?" Dad asked. "Of course, sir." Zeb said and I heard the door shut after that. I felt movement next to me and knew that Zeb laid beside me and pulled me against him. I turned around and buried my face in his chest, seeking comfort, and he wrapped his arms around me. We fell asleep like that.

[ Okay.....phew!!!! I got it up!!!! It took awhile cause I was really stuck for what to do for Sabine's POV. I wanted to do hers cause I haven't done hers in awhile.

    Will Anakin ever forgive Obi-wan and Lux for putting his Daughter through that?!?! How will Sabine react when she sees Acarna again?? Will Ezra ever wake up?!?!

    Specter 7 out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    P.S -- For some reason this ch. made me VERY EMOTIONAL!!!!! TT.TT ]
