The wind blew on the ship, it was storming pretty badly, lightning struck, thunder ruptured the air as the rain thundered on the metal surface. In a room, under the covers was a 14 year old teenager.

As thunder roared, she jumped, shaking. Ever since she was 4, living on the streets, she was terrified of storms, it haunted her. She heard her door open and felt the top of her bed lower a bit, and top of her covers lowered as her aqua eyes were seen. There, sat a young female Mandalorian, looking at her as the girl hid more.

"It's ok Meshla, I'm right here" The female reassured the girl as she rubbed her head. The girl peaked out a bit, and the female smiled. She wore her Mando helmet, and she wore her armour as well. The female was a full Mandalorian, adopted into her clan as a young child. Now, she's a bounty hunter, taking care of and training a 14 year old girl.

"Striker...I'm scared" The girl admitted as Striker rubbed her head once more.

"Sh, Kira..I know..I know" Striker said, trying to calm her down, thundered roared again and Kira squeaked and hid more under the covers. Striker sighed, grabbing the girl and held her in her arms, rubbing her back.

Kira shook before the Striker started to sing a Mandalorian Lullaby. She relaxed in Striker's arms as she closed her eyes. The Mandalorian felt her relax as she held her close, rubbing her head gently. She still continued to sing while she held the teen closely.

The next day, Striker woke up, still holding Kira as she slept, she got up and puts her on the bed and walked out the room. She walked to the cockpit to see her brother, Xvan, he wore the same armour as Striker but it was different and it was a different colour. When he heard the footsteps he turned and looked at Striker and he smiled under his helmet.

"Hey S" He said with a small smile as he used the nickname for her.
"Hey X, how much longer till the storm ends?" She asked and Xvan looked on the ship's input weather radar.
"Another few days, why?" He asked turning back to her and she shifted her weight a bit.
"Kira isn't a fan of storms, she's absolutely terrified, I managed to make her go to sleep so she's resting well" It took Xvan just a millisecond to stand, getting worried and Striker sat him down. "She'll be fine" And Xvan exhaled heavily.

Kira woke up and got up out of her bed, opening her door and she walked out, hearing the door hiss close behind her. She turned her head towards the cockpit and she walked over to the door, making Striker and Xvan turn to her. Striker grabbed her arm gently and hugged her tightly. The girl hugged back, instantly relaxing in her embrace.

Xvan smiled as he took his helmet off, looking at the two girls. He got up and Kira pulled away and hugged Xvan, he was slightly surprised before hugging her back.

He picked her up and held her close as she wrapped her arms around him, making smile. Striker smiled under her helmet as she walked out of the cockpit and went to her room, sitting on her bed.

"How are you feeling now?" He asked running his fingers through her hair as she shrugged. He sighed as he continued what he was doing. Kira seem to relax as she stayed close to Xvan, feeling warm. He smiled at her, wrapping his arm around her.

"Everything kelir cuyir ok" He said in his native Mandalorian language. She smiled slightly as she closed her eyes.
"Ni vercopa bic Kelir Xvan" Kira replied as Xvan held her, before she fell asleep. He picked her up and took her to her room, laying her on her bed then walked out.

Striker was in the medical bay, fixing things. Some containers fell on the floor after the strong wind rocked the ship overnight. She tried to lift a heavy object but growled in annoyance.
"Xvan! Ve'ganir gar Mando a olar staabi jii!" Striker yelled, yet in the native Mandalorian language.

Xvan wasted no time as he ran over to her in the medical bay.
"What is it?" He asked looking at him.
"Help me move this crate, it's to heavy for me" She said as he nodded and wAlked over, helping her move the crate.
"Pehea's Kira feeling staabi jii?" She asked and Xvan sighed.
"She's fine, sleeping well" He replied as Striker relaxed, exhaling heavily softly.

Several hours passed and it was clear enough to train outside for a bit. Kira wore Tue Mandalorian helmet that was given to her by Striker. They were doing hand to hand combat, Kira did it first with Xvan. She grabbed his arm, twisting it behind his back as he patted his shoulder and she let's go

"Very good Kira" Striker praised and she smiled at her and Xvan took his helmet off and smiled.
"It's not my best though" She said shrugging and Striker puts her hand on her shoulder
"It was still good" She smiled and the teen smiled back.

«====================================»

Later on at night, Kira was mediating quietly in her room. All she heard was her quiet breathing. But what startled her was images she's never seen before, her breathing picked up as she began to stress out. Striker walked in and quickly grabbed her, shaking her.

"Kira! Kira wake up!" She yelled and her eyes shot open, tears going down her face before she hugged her. Striker instantly hugged her back, rubbing her back. "She Kira, it's ok" She said calmly, trying to calm her down the best she can. The girl was breathing rapidly. She was stressed out as her eyes widened in fear. Striker rubbed her back, trying to calm her down.

Kira sighed, trying to relax herself. The Mandalorian exhaled heavily, rocking Kira a bit. She heard Xvan enter the room and she looked over to him, smiling under her helmet.
"How's she feeling?" He asked and she sighed.
"She must've saw something, she's stressing out" Xvan knelt beside the two, rubbing Kira's back in comfort.
"If you guys don't mind, I need would like to go and take a walk" Kira looked at the two and they nodded.
"Just be careful" Xvan said before she got up and walked out her room towards the ramp.

She walked off the ship and went into the forest, the birds chirped, and some deer ran by. She looked around for a while, keeping calm and relaxed while on guard. A twig snapped making her jump and turn, she suddenly started to feel cold and she grabbed her dagger, and continued walking while the was drawn.

"Who evers there, show yourself!" She yelled and some bushes rustled. Her eyes narrowed before she was tackled down and she tried to get the person off of her. After a few moments of fighting, Kira was knocked down, she was on her hands and knees, panting. The person quickly puts a shock collar around her neck and it started to shock her as she screamed in pain before she fell to her side, her vision blurring before she fell unconscious, and everything fell quiet...
