Sabine (a Star Wars story)

Chapter Three

Sabine awoke to herself in a cell, and she quickly realised she was chained to the wall.

"Running is really not going to work," a voice mumbled in the darkness of the cell. Sabine recognised the voice entirely even before he had shown his face.

"Tristan." She growled. "How could you do this to me? To Mandalore? How could you become one of them? One of the bad guys..."

"The only Bad guy around here is you Sabine," Tristan replied walking out of the darkness to where Sabine could see him. He pretty much looked the same as the last time she had seemed him, older but not wiser. "You built a weapon to destroy us, to destroy Mandalore itself! And yet you call me a bad guy."

"I destroyed the weapon Tristan, I didn't want this, I didn't want any of this!" Sabine spat, if the chain were only a few inches longer she'd have him pinned to the floor by now.

"I'm sorry Sabine, but we're not on the same side anymore," Tristan muttered as he walked towards the door.

"Tristan? Tristan!" Sabine yelled. But her brother ignored her, walking over and opening the door to where two Stormtroopers were stood outside.

"I suggest you kill her whist you still can, She's a traitor to the rest of us." He muttered to them. The Stormtroopers acknowledged him as he walked away. They adjusted their guns and were about to walk into the cell when a roaring noise came down the hallway. Sabine watched in partial shock as the two Stormtroopers got shot to the ground. Then a familiar face appeared at her cell door.

"Ketsu," Sabine almost smiled to see her weird friend's masked face.

"Let's get you out of here," Ketsu replied, her voice muffled by her helmet, She aimed, fired at the chains, and shot them off with extreme accuracy, leaving Sabine's hands free. She then tossed Sabine a small brown bag. "I know you told me not to but I stole this from your family." Sabine looked inside to find her original Mandalorian armor. She closed the bag quickly, tossing it out of her mind.

"I don't have a family," Sabine stated firmly "let's get out of here."

They both ran down the corridor with the alarms rattling around them and Stormtroopers all around them. They made short work of them together and escaped onto Ketsu's ship, the Shadow-Caster.
