In the distance I could see a small bonfire next to the ship. At first i panicked that i won't be able to sneek in without being noticed, but when I saw that the person who was sitting next to the fire was non other than Koji, I calmed down. He looked up and examined my attire with a questionable look on his face.

"How about I start, because I feel that my story is shorter " he said while looking at my skirt" we were looking around and found these two guys spying on us."

"And..?"

"And we killed them"

"How typical..."

"So now I'm sitting here and keeping an eye on the area. So what fun did you do in those 4 hours?"

I rolled my eyes
"Well I met this very nice lady. The lady was also vey kind, she gave me this scarf so that no one would notice my uniform and said to be careful before leaving"

"You say..that a woman noticed your uniform and was okay with it!?" He was confused

"Believe it or not, yes"

"Well you better change , before the general sees you. Im pretty sure he wouldn't be proud of you wearing that"  he said and looked back to the fire "what was that thing about being careful?"

"Umm she basically said that there are people who hate the first order and they wont lose a chance of killing the general. So i think the guys that you caught were probably one of them ..."

*************

The sun raised up and it was an early morning,  me and Koji were still sitting  next to the burn out fire place, there was basically nothing left of it. A few stormtroopers had also woken up.  Now we were just waiting for the General and after a few minutes we saw his figure approaching from the distance , as always he looked flawless,  he was also escorted by two of Solon's troopers . We all stood up next to the ship, that's when I remember Bani and her warning.

Everyone stood still, i was the only one looking around hoping that we are alone, examining every place where a person could be hiding. 

"General!" Everyone greeted him when he got near

"Is everything ready for the flight? " He asked Koji

"Yes, sir" Koji replied looking straight

General took a few steps and turned to me. He saw how I was looking around and that seemed pretty suspicious, I get it.

"Is everything alright lieutenant? " he asked, his emerald green eyes booring into mine.

"Yes, sir, it's just I have a feeling... " I lowered my head. Stupid...i shouldn't have said that last part.

"What feeling is that?" Hux raised an eyebrow .

"..nothing , sir "

He gave me a confused look and walked off to the ship. Everyone was getting ready to leave.

Suddenly I saw the light flicker. My eyes shot wide open and I looked straight towards a row of metal boxes standing further away, where I think i saw it. There, between two boxes,I saw a muzzle of a blaster, pointing directly at the general. That's what reflected the light...

I didn't have time to think.I took my blaster out and stepped infront of the general ...that's when the time froze. The enemy had pulled the trigger and I had now becomed the target...there was no time to run, no time to shout...not even time to shoot... i just stood there with my blaster pointing at the metal boxes.My heart beating fast and with two questions running in my head. Is this how I die? And is Hux's life more precious than mine?

Severe  pain struck the left side of my stomach and the second shot hit me in the left shoulder. I tried to stand on my legs, but failed with closed eyes I fell on the ground,the pain was too much I could handle and that's why after a second i didn't feel it at all...i basically didn't feel my whole body.

I heard shots being fired, people runing and passing me by. I layed on my back, not moving waiting for someone to come and check if I was still alive, because at this moment, I didn't know if i was alive myself.

The noise stopped. I heard my name being called... someone was standing near me, lifted my head and held me close, like wanting to ensure me that I was now safe.This whole situation brought me to my childhood... i remember that day like it was yesterday.  I was climbing a tree in our backyard when my leg slipped and I fell on the ground. There I layed just like now, my eyes closed, hearing people running, calling my name,  but I don't respond,  someone checked my pulse... (I felt it now also, someone's warm hand creeping on my neck)... Then when I gathered enough strength I slowly started to open my eyes, that time it was my mom that stood in front of me, with a worried look on her face...now, when I opened my eyes I saw...

"Ge..general?" His facial expression was the same as my mother's that time. My head was resting on his arm,  that felt really nice, but soon  again a massive amount of pain hit me, causing me to grab the side of my stomach, i felt blood and lots of it. I was too scared to look at the wound and i also felt embarrassed to look at Hux who was still holding me. 

I felt his arm under my head trembling and a horrified expression in his face as he was looking at the side I was shot in. I didn't excpect a reaction like this, actually, I even thought that the person holding me will be Koji, I have never imagined Hux caring about my wellbeing.

He carfully lifted me up, like I was some kind of expensive and fragile... thing. I winced at the pain.

" Sorry" He said under his breath. That surprised me even more, not only he was carrying me, he was also apologising. I opened my my mouth to say Thank you , but i wasn't able. I closed my eyes. I was held really close to his chest and could hear every beat of his heart...I listened closely...it was a beautiful rithm that calmed me down, but i could feel with every beat my body weakneing.

The pain was too much...

I passed out...
