Caleb P.O.V
I had only known Hera for a few month's now. We met when we ran into each other on Ryloth and escaped an imperial complex there. She was the only person who cared about me and didn't turn me in because I was a Jedi. It was nice to have a friend that you can trust at times like these,  running from the Empire.

Recently, me and Hera have been travaling around the Galaxy looking for job's to get credits. Right now, we are on Gurel on are new ship, the Ghost. How did we get a ship? Well let's just say a deal went south and we had to get out real fast.

It was late at night, around 2 in the morning. I was in my cabin having some troble sleeping. I just kept having a bad feeling, like something bad was going to happen. About half an hour later, I was able to fall asleep but didn't have a pleasant dream.

I was running towards the Ghost, Hera close behind me. I was running up the ramp when I need someone yelp. I turned only to see Hera in the grasp of a trooper.

"Hera!" I called as I grabbed my lightsaber hilt. "Caleb get out of here. Run" Hera told me but I didn't listen. "No. I'm not losing you like I did my master" I yelled as I activated my lightsaber and ran at the trooper. I stopped in my track's when I herd someone speak.

"Surrender now Jedi, or your friend will not live to see tomorrow". I seen behind the squad of troopers was a officer, pointing a gun right at Hera's head.

I was terified for my friend at that momont, that I couldn't speak or move. I was like this for only about 5 seconds when the officer spoke.

"Time is up Jedi" the officer told me as I seen him pull the triger. "NO!" I yelled as I watched my friend get killed right in front of me.

I shot up quickly out of bed. I was sitting there for a good 2 minutes trying to catch my breath like as if I had ran a marathon. I looked around the room only to see darkness in the small room.

I was still processing that, dream? Nightmare? Vision? Whatever it was, it scares the kriff out of me. The thought that my best friend being killed, right in front of me just scares me.

I sat there for a good hour untill I herd Hera call my name. "Caleb get up, it's 8 o'clock" I herd Hera tell me as I herd her walk to the kictchen. I didn't want to get up right away but I know if I don't, Hera will think something id wrong.

So with that, I got up, grabed my blaster and lightsaber and made my way to the kitchen. When I got there, Hera was siting down having a sandwich. I got some food and sat across from her.

As I ate, I could tell Hera knew something was wrong. "Caleb are you okay?" Hera asked me with consurn. "Yeah. Yeah I'm fine. I just had a bad dream about my master that's all" I told her. It was half right. It was a bad dream, but not of my master.

"Yeah you've been having those dreams for the last year. I wish I knew how to help with them" Hera told me. "Its okay Hera. They will go eventually" I reasured her with a smile. Hera smiled back.

After we were done we walked to the ramp and it opened. We were on Gurel just for a while untill we can find any jobs. "Okay we have to go to hanger 12, we are in hanger 5 so it shouldn't be to far to meet up with this person" Hera told me as we walked down the ramp and into the streets to get to hanger 12.

As we walked, I kept having a bad feeling, like as if something was going to happen. I grabbed Hera's and shoulder and told her,"Hera something bad is going to happen". "Caleb your probably still shaken up but that nightmare. Don't worry everything will be fine" Hera reasured me.

"Okay. Just at least be ready to run if anything bad happens okay" I asked her. "Okay I will" she replied. With that,  we continued.

When we got to hanger 12, I noticed that no one was there. There was also no create that we were to collect. I was about to tell Hera that we should get out of here, but something soom pass me.

I turned around only to see about 6 troopers about to shoot at us. I ignited my lightsaber and started deflecting. "Hera this is a trap" I told her. "Yeah I can see that now" she replied as she started shooting back.

Once those troopers were down, we ran as fast as we could to the ship. I was a few steps ahead of Hera and was already running up the ramp when I herd Hera yell.

I then spun around to see Hera in the grasp of a trooper. Oh no. I then realised that that nightmare from last night wasn't a nightmare. It was vission. And if things kept going the way they are, Hera would be shot and killed.

Everything played the same up to the point when the officer spoke. "Time is up Jedi" the officer told me. "Not stop" I yelled to the officer who didn't shot and looked at me.

"I surrender" I told them. The officer lowered the gun. "I'll surrender and turn myself in if you her go" I told them.

The officer though about for a momont before nodding to the trooper who pushed Hera to the ground. Two troopers came over and cuffed me and took me away.

I turned to see Hera fighting against a trooper, begging for them to let me go. I only have a sad smile befor i was out of veiw and taken to who knows where.
