I'm so excited to share this story with you guys. Please do not take this story. I put so many months into this story. I'm glad you're reading this. It's exciting to see what you guys will think. Feel free to correct grammar mistakes. I probably have a lot of them. Sit back with some popcorn and enjoy the story.

*Ella Age 5*

I run through a field on Alderaan giggling. I look behind me and see Thanaton (Ella's father) behind me. I feel the soft grass under my bare feet. I fall on my back giggling when my father catches up to me. He tickles me, then picks my up and hugs me.

"My little light what would I do without you." I giggle when my father says that.

My mother catches up out of breath. "You two run so fast."

My father laughs and hugs my mother. "My beautiful wife and wonderful little light. This is all I need in life." He smiles, then kisses my mother.

I hide my eyes and say, "Ew! That's just gross!" We all laugh then set up for a picnic. Today is my 5th birthday and we're having a picnic to celebrate.

*Later that night*

"And that's how the jedi came to be." My mother says, tucking me in.

"Again! Again!" I say still excited from the day.

My mother is about to say something when my dad walks in. He is angry and his eyes are yellow. "ELLA! GO!"

My father has never yelled at me before, I start to cry. "But I want to stay here." My mom hugs me and says I love you then she pushes me out the door. I hear my father's lightsaber ignite I look in the room. He picks up my mother and stabs her.

My mother goes limp in his arms. He puts her down and starts to weep. "What have I done!"

"Mommy?" I walk over my five year old mind not quite getting it. I pick up her limp hand. "Momma?"

My father picks me up and takes me to his ship. "Mommy is gone Ella." I keep crying, then he puts me down. He flies to Tatoonie, and buys a house....

"Send in the troops" I hear Valkorion say all of a sudden. I shake my head and realize I was having a flashback. I run to the comm and ask him to repeat himself.

Crying over here, poor Ella. She only knew her mom for 5 years. Her father was happy and joyful at first. A lot can happen when the darkside controls you. Oh, and by the way she's 38 when Valkorion is calling her on the comm. It's been 33 years since her mother died.
