*gasp*
I quickly sit up in my bed , the sheets drenched in sweat.
I look around and see it's the dead of night.
" It .. was just a nightmare" I close my eyes and breathe for a moment.
Slowly I peel my blankets away, stepping into the wooden floor.
My eyes wonder the rain droplet covered window, slowly my eyes wonder to my blink holodisk.
Quickly I dash to the table it sat upon and grab it .. I hold my breathe and press the silver button , but nothing came .. no message from my father .I slowly sit it down , " maybe I should feel relieved?" I say to myself .shaking my head , I walk down to the kitchen .Lola seemed to be sleeping , the house was very quiet .
I open the cooler and grab some blue milk, quickly grabbing a plain white cup .I pour some milk and look over the dark and lonely lounge.
I look down and noticed I split milk " fuck" I quiet spot out , and grab something to wipe it up.
After cleaning the mess I place the carton back and, sit down in the living room and quietly sip at the milk.
" I see you can't sleep ?" I turn and see lola leaning against the wall , she seemed to have just woken up." Yeah." I quietly utter and wonder my eyes over the furniture.
" What's up kiddo ?" She asked walking towards me .
I pause and ponder for a moment , before I open my mouth .. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. " I .. had a nightmare .. " Lola chuckled " well that's unusual , what was it about ?" I pasued and wondered what was that about " I .. I don't really know " she frowned and rubbed my shoulder" well what ever it was it dosent matter your safe okay ?" I couldn't help shake the feeling ..that it really wasn't , I simply not to get the conversation over with . " I think I am just gonna try and go back to sleep " she nods and watched me leave .
---later that after noon-
I was climbing to my meditation area , it's been in the highest tree I could find , that wasn't forbbiden or used by the elders council .
I remember father shower it to me when I was four , always warning me it was a dangerous journey . But always worth the risk , now .. it's mostly just my training grounds and meditation spot .
It was Spacey and gave me plenty of room for combat practice.. I just wish I had more the a hologram to fight .once I reach the very top of the tree, I unlatch my bag and let it drop.Right in the middle of the run on, the flat cut surface of the tree .
I smile and look out of the large vast jungle , light from tree villages of out people glow and run for miles .. it was truly a sight to see.
I sit down and take in the beauty , only for me to wish my father was here with me . Telling me tales of his battle on the battlefield , with his clonetroopers and other Jedi masters.
He promised he would come back , to see how well I remembered all his training.
With a sigh I lay back , looking at the yellow and lime green sky. Lavander clouds , slowly danced with the display of colors . As they fade to the blacks , Gray's and purple shades od the night.
" I guess I should practice huh ?" I asked to no one and pushed myself up slowly. I walked to my back and flicked, my index finger unlatching the clamps of the bag.
I

dragged the metal staff out, clicking the button once in my hand it spring to life.
Slowly I breathe; closing my yellow eyes and listening ,to the world around me.
Slowly I drag my foot and spin the staff to the left , imagining that I slicing through the flesh of my enemy .
Then taking it over my head , and slashing it to the right. in a downwards motion, I imagine that I am cutting them in half .
I end back in a combative position, and stare at my imaginary opponent.
I battled them , in a deadly dance .bowing as their weapon swung over my head , with a spin of my foot they fall and i send my staff clashing into the ground . The loud thud snaps me out of it , and I stand with a sigh . " I think thats enough for today " with that I snap the metal staff closed . Sending it back to it's cylinder shape and shoving it back into my bag .
I climb back down and travel home , to get ready to start my new day ..but I have no clue what horror will happen , at midnight .. when the demons in white come to plague our dream forever .
