Why would they lie to me? Why? He was my brother. I loved him. He betrayed me. I couldn't contain my anger anymore.

"What the hell Fin. You idiot. You could have trusted me with the secret. Who is there to keep it from." I yelled.

"Damnit Poe! You don't get it. We didn't want you to follow in my foot steps. That's what Mom said." He said.

"You could have told me, still. We didn't have to tell her." I glared at him.

"I didn't want to lie to her." 

"How come you had NO trouble lying to her, telling her we went hunting?!" I stamped my foot on the metal floor.

"I am sorry Poe. I just knew you would be worried about me. I didn't want to piss you off." He tried.

"Ha, too late, you did." I crossed my arms, turned my back to him and walked out. I heard Fin sigh and Sandy comfort him.

"I didn't know he would take it that way."

"Me neither."

It's like a war between us.

I heard the squeaking of the pilot's chair as Fin sits down. The ship starts up and we lift of, out of the base. The engine stalls at first but Fin probably fixes it by pressing a button or something. 

He is so perfect. His hair is always neatly combed and he is so tall and handsome. I on the other hand am short, slightly chubby, and my hair is overgrown, reaching almost to my waist. I hate haircuts. Whenever mom gets the scissors out I always run in my room and lock the door. I wait until she agrees to put those horrible things away. 

I bet if we lived in a city like normal people, all the girls would be in love with my brother. The boys would probably like Sandy too. She has super long blond hair that reaches down to her ankles. Her pale face has freckles all over it. If she wasn't my sister, I would probably have a crush on her.

As I think, I realize how tired I am. I start to fall asleep. I lay down on the bench I am sitting on. The world slowly fades away and I fall asleep. 

I wake up because I am so cold. I open my eyes. I am sitting a small, dark room. It smells like mold and brand new clothes. Where am I? I wonder. I look around and spot Sandy. 

"Sandy!" I whisper. I can't tell if she is awake.

"Poe!" She cries. Her voice sound so, sad. She had been crying.

"Where are we?"

"The first order captured us. They have Fin."

The First Order. I didn't even know what to say. There was nothing to say. I look down and realized we have no chains or anything holding captive. Just the room to contain us. They don't think we're clever enough to escape. Hmmm, we'll see about that.  I tell myself, even though I don't believe my own thoughts. That's pretty sad.

I get up and sit down next to Sandy, wrapping my arm around her cold little body. She leans into me and I kiss her on the forehead. 

"It's gonna be ok." I comfort her. She falls asleep in my arms.
