ALORA FETT
My anticipation grew stronger and stronger as we neared Taris. I knew it was impossible to see Khann, but I learned to move on, as I have before with my father and with my sister.
I pushed my thoughts away and focused on the village I used to call home.
The old cobblestone road and homes were crumbling. The houses were always crumbling, but they are just about gone. War has surely left a scar. Taris is dying...
I fell to my knees and let tears leave my eyes.
"My home..." I chocked.
Life seems to try to rip everything I love away from me. I can't seem to hold on anymore. I have to let go.
I walked towards the gate where I met who I lost. Khann.
I remembered the time when I first left Taris. I was shot, but before that something called to me. Grabbed my wrist and told me to fight. Yelled at me and forsaken me to turn back. Fight for what I believe in, and that's what I did.
Stormtroopers filled the town with a sea of white fish. They filed in and out, killing anyone who was thought to have rebelled. They burnt and ripped our homes apart in search of the remaining rebels, or better yet, Jedi. I fought and found someone dear to me... Khann.
I heard his voice. "Hey my name is Khann..." his voice trailed, but was still audible. His voice was coarse from fighting, but mine was, as well. The sound trailed into a gun shot. The shot that pierced my side. The pain rang through my brain, causing my heart to beat faster and faster and my head to pound harder and harder, until at last my body gave out, and I was only filled with memory.

I had an image. I was in my quarters with Ahsoka. She was telling me about a battle that could strike at any time. For the first time, I saw fear strike her expression.
"Wha- what? Why?" I asked. "Why do they, or you, have to..." my voice trailed and paused, "die?"
"The future can be changed, but if that's my path I may not be able to change it..." her voice trailed, too. Then alarms blared and I heard Ky crying as he ran down the hall. Fear crossed Ahsoka's expressions.
"It's begun..."

I woke up with a heavy breath and Sumya and Tieyan hovering over me. I immediately arose and started pacing.
"No... no!" I say with every lap of pace I take.
"Alora what's wrong?" I hear Sumya says worried and cautiously.
"I- I!" I say but get force choked and slammed into a cobblestone house, by an unknown figure that I can't see. I clutch my throat in an attempt of freedom, but find none. My face grows numb by the minute and then everything goes black and my worries leave in an ocean of black.
SUMYA WREN
Alora fell unconscious. I searched the area for whoever could have knocked her out, but found no one.
"That- that's impossible..." I say and at my words, Alora awakens.
"Good your awake." Tieyan says.
"Did you see anything strange?" I hear Beatriz ask.
"No... I just remember going on the ship.... Did I fall asleep on the ride?" She says clearly bewildered.
"She's forgotten..." I mutter with slow voice. "Whoever hurt her didn't want us knowing what she saw..."
