Roni is frantically looking around the room hoping that Nessa will pop out somewhere. She didn't want to believe that her sister was gone, but she did finally give up looking and sat down. Rey went over to her sister trying to comfort her, but she had also been hoping Nessa would show up on her own. The two look at each other with tears in their eyes, and they hug.
Luke feeling awkward in the corner, clears his throat, breaking the hug. "We should get back to the ship, there we can start our search for Nessa." Roni and Rey wipe their eyes and stand up, while Luke grabs the part for the ship.
They start, to walk in silence, back to the ship. Roni knew earlier that something was wrong, but she didn't think that anything would actually happen. She still had a feeling that things were worse than they all had thought, but Roni couldn't tell what was worrying her. She didn't want to worry Rey anymore, so Roni kept silent.
As they all approached the ship Rey said, "Why would the First Order want Nessa in the first place? She hasn't done anything with the Resistance yet." She was starting to yell at the end. Rey and Roni both didn't understand why Nessa was taken, she didn't even have any information that would help the First Order.
Luke, feeling guilty, told Rey and Roni the truth. "I need to tell you both something." Luke started with. The two girls looked over at Luke waiting for what he had to say. "I didn't tell you this earlier because I didn't think that it was relevant at the time." Luke takes a deep breath, readying himself for what he is about to say. "I am your father." Luke said trying not to sound like his father when he was told the same thing.
The girls' jaws were dropped, they were so shocked at what they were being told. After a few moments of silence, Roni finally spoke up, "Is this some kind of a joke, because it isn't funny, and I know funny." She said this with a harsh tone in her voice.
Luke looking a bit hurt said, "No this is not a joke. I loved your mother, but when you and Nessa were born something went wrong. You were fine, but we had a problem with Nessa. I had to go and find someone to help us. I looked throughout the village and finally I found someone, your former master. He said that he could help but there was a large price to pay. I brought him to your mother and he helped. He wanted your mom and I to be his slaves, but she said that I had to go and help find more Jedi's to train. So he took you all as his slaves until the debt was paid off." Luke finished off with guilt in his voice.
"Why didn't you come back for us?" Roni yelled obviously angry at him. "You could have helped us!" Luke was speechless but this is exactly what he expected.
"I didn't because I thought that it would make things worse." Luke whispers after a long silence. "Can we forget about the past and focus on saving Nessa?"
Rey and Roni looked at each other both clearly upset and they said with determination, "Let's go find Nessa!"
