The Forgotten Jedi - Rey Skywalker // Book V in A Spark of Hope

Chapter Twenty Seven- Cassian.

A heavy rainstorm greets us as the falcon lands on Naboo.

Before we even hit the surface, almost everyone is up and rushing towards Rose, who lays unconscious on the floor, bleeding heavily from a blaster wound on her stomach.

"Give her space!" Lyra snaps. "Everyone give her space."

Lyra turns to me, "Dad? Can you carry her?"

"I can," Poe offers.

"Okay," Lyra says, nodding. "Okay, be careful."

Poe leans down, and gently picks her up. He carries her towards the falcons entrance, just as the entry ramp lowers.

We rush outside (letting Poe and Rose out first, of course) and look around the planet.

"Help!" Poe exclaims. "Please! Help!"

"You guys need help?"

Quickly, we turn around, seeing a girl who looks just like Rey standing next to us. Their resemblance is uncanny. I have to look at Rey to make sure it isn't her.

"I have a house just down by the lake." She says, confused by our stares. "Umm... I'm Cora Rene. Do you guys know how to talk?"

"Oh, yes!" Lyra says. "We do need help. Our friend, Rose, was shot and needs help."

"Well, lucky for you, my husband works at a medical center." Cora replies. "It's even closer. I can take you there if you'd like."

"That'd be lovely, thank you!" Lyra replies.

"No problem," Cora says. "I'm just glad you guys finally said something."

"Luckily, my home has a few rooms, so if you'd like, some of you can stay here." Cora explains, turning the lights on in her house. "There's also a hotel a few miles away from here. It's very nice."

"Yeah, thanks." Leia says.

"Mommy!" A little voice says, running towards Cora.

"Hey, princess," Cora greets, kneeling down to be face to face with her. "Did you have fun with grandma?"

The little girl nods, "Guess what? I lost a tooth!"

"Really?" Cora asks, the little girl nods. "That's awesome! You should put it under your pillow for the tooth fairy to come."

"Hello!" Stella greets, coming out of her hiding spot.

"Hi!" The little girl greets. "My names Molly."

"I'm Stella!" Stella chirps.

"Wanna go play in my room?" The little girl, Molly, asks, and Stella nods. "It's this way! Come on!"

Stella and Molly then run off into the hall.

"Sorry about that," Cora says. "That's first time she's lost a tooth. She's excited."

"Oh, it's okay." Leia replies. "My son, Ben, always made a huge deal anytime he lost a tooth. He was adorable. Now he's grown, I don't know what happened."

Cora laughs, just as Caden walks in.

"Oh, Caden!" Rey exclaims, walking towards him. "How's Rose?"

"Alive." Caden answers. "And, thankfully, stable."

"Is she awake yet?" Lyra asks, her doctor instincts intact.

"She's in a coma." Caden says quietly, sighing. "They said she should wake up soon, but at the moment she's in a coma and all we can do now is wait and hope she'll wake up."

"I'm sorry," Cora says, breaking the silence that filled the room. "but what happened?"

"We're the Resistance." I say, she nods in understanding. "Two months ago their was an attack on the Resistance base. It went up in flames. We relocated to Fest, where we stayed in a hotel."

"Yeah, and today my fiancé- well, wife now, got married." Finn says. "And we were attacked, again. And it turns out Rose was shot while we were making our way to the ship."

"Well, congratulations, and I'm sorry." Cora apologizes. "I'm sure Rose will make a full recovery."

"Thank you," Rey says. "My names Rey— well, Kyra, but I go by Rey. I haven't went by Kyra in a long time."

"Oh, well hello Rey," Cora replies.

"Is this the beginning of the clone wars?" I mutter to Jyn, who has to cover her own mouth to stop herself from laughing.

"Okay, Cora, I should probably get going." Someone says, walking into the living room to reveal a women. The women is around Leia and Luke's age, if not a little older. Her hair is pulled back into a braid, and she's almost the same height as Jyn.

"The rain stopped. I want to get home before it starts again." The women says.

"Okay mom," Cora says.

"Who are these people?"

"Their part of the Resistance," Cora explains. "Their friend is hurt so I offered for some of them to stay here."

"My names Leia Organa," Leia greets.

"And my names Luke Skywalker," Luke greets.

Her face goes from a calm and sweet smile, to a confused and almost frightened expression, "I'm sorry, Organa? Skywalker?"

"Yes," Leia nods. "Why?"

"My Aunt, she was friends with a Skywalker and a Organa," She says. "Their names were ... Anakin Skywalker, and Bail Organa."

Luke and Leia look at her confused, "What?"

"Bail was the name my adoptive father." Leia says quietly. "If-if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?"

"Pooja Naberrie," She replies. "My Aunt was named Padmé, Padmé Amidala Naberrie,"

"...Plot-twist," Finn mutters.
