Another Halloween prank- Chakaria

"Then me Jesse and Hardcase dumped the nest in Echo's bed!" Fives was dying of laughter elaborating on his latest October prank.
He was in the mess hall with Jesse Hardcase Kix and (y/n).
"Echo left the room for a week and I had to deal waking up with spiders in my hair." he complained.
"You didn't think that through did you?" (y/n) asked.
"No but we did!" Jesse shouted head locking Hardcase.
"well I'm not as afraid of spiders as I used to be." Echo and Tup arrived at the table with their trays and sat down.
"your too logical." Fives pretended to go into a five year old strop.
"Well if you think that's bad I'm doing something much worse." (y/n) grinned.
"on who?" Tup asked grinning as well, he couldn't care less if it was him.
"whos the only member of Creshda who conveniently isn't here?"
The answer was Rex.
"what are you going to do to the poor sod?" Kix asked.
"Just make his dreams a living nightmare."
"and how do you propose to do that?"
"how do you think?"
Everybody stopped eating. They knew what
(y/n) was planning to do, and it wasn't going to be pretty.
"(y/n) do you know how dangerous that is?" Echo said concerned, "You could kill him."
"You think I don't know that?!" she said annoyed, standing up and pulling up the top part of her Jedi robe to show the tight stomach armour she now had to wear, "someone started ripping me apart Alive a few years back!"

(I will explain this fully in another book that I'm trying to draft out. I know where I want to take it but trying to move the first few chapters from my brain to black and white is proving tougher than I thought. Will get the first part of it out soon if you interested.)

They all knew too well of this fact. The only clone who was there when the girl started screaming in her sleep being torn Open, was Fives and he wanted to forget it as soon as he could.
(y/n) sat down again her mental pain had moved well on but the gashes would always remain.
"calm down I'm not going to take it that far. I'm just doing a classic prank from my home world."
"which probably involved someone dying." Echo replied definitely not amused.
"some of the older kids died but survival of the fittest am I right?"
Nobody took it as a joke.
"dear god I'm joking!" (y/n) put her hands up, "It was a child blood bath, me and my brother hated it! Seriously every year I bewitched myself to stay awake. For the whole time."
"for the age you would have done that it would have been dangerous for you anyway." Echo was getting annoyingly shirty now. What the hell was his problem today!?!
"can you shut up nobody's going to get hurt!"
"playing with people's lived isn't what I would count as fun." Echo said angrily.
"guys for the love of kriff stop arguing!" Fives finally said, "(y/n) continue."

"Basically we had this celebration abit like your Halloween called Chakaria, but more morbid. It was a tradition for children to play a game where in your sleep you would distort yourself through the force and scare someone else to death but not by murdering them. The victim would inadvertently kill themselves in their sleep. That was how it became a blood bath. Kids around all ages would gouge their eyes out , give continuous blows to their head. I didn't think anyone had the capability in the force to deal physical harm to others through dreams until someone managed to do it to me after I left."

"why would they kill themselves?" Kix Asked.

"couldn't handle the warped reality they were facing." she replied to the six gobsmacked faces, "I wasn't joking the game was brutal! I remember one year when I was about six this one kid a year or two older than me imploded his own soul."

"lovely." Echo muttered to himself.
Hardcase laughed at this, no idea why but alrighty then!
"did you ever play?" Tup asked.
"No!"
"then how do you know how to play it?!?!"
"two years before the exploding child incident, *hardcases sniggered* My older sister tried to kill me. She would have succeeded if my brother hadn't intervened. So the following day he taught me how to play it which in itself was a risk because if you were caught playing out of Chakaria the punishment would be death. But if I didn't learn quickly I would die." she looked Echo dead in the eye. "I had no choice."
