Chapter 61, Change of persona

/ First Person Protagonist POV / 

" Good luck to you too, Mando." 

The Mandalorian bounty hunter walked away towards his equipment, and I went to sit where Mando had been minutes earlier. My hands wouldn't stop shaking, and it was getting hard to breathe. Calm down y/n... Don't look suspicious... Think about the plan. I exhaled deeply and closed my eyes. The plan was simple, but hell, was it risky: the space shuttle would drop me off on Tatooine, everyone would believe I already had a lead to find myself, since I had been found on Tatooine, and then I would take a ship to who knows where. Simple enough, I joked as the space shuttle prepared its first descent. 

I wondered if Kylo would also follow his part of the plan, which I didn't really know what it was, we hadn't really came together to discuss about it, but I hoped both parts of our plan would come together and succeed. Maybe I could try telepathically communicating with Kylo? Can you even do that from such a distance? And how exactly am I supposed to like, activate the mental communication? I asked myself hopelessly, hoping the little conscience inside my head would tell me the answers, or maybe even Kylo, if it was possible for him to reach into my thoughts. The ship had a little turbulence as it entered the atmosphere of a planet, and I could see Mando getting ready to leave. 

" Where are we?" I asked Mando as I stumbled in my walk, the space craft was preparing for landing. " Sullust." He replied coldly as he threw a bag over his shoulder. " Is this where you will go?" I questioned once more. I didn't want to be left alone surrounded by the other ruthless bounty hunters. Mando, was... different. He didn't seem as cold hearted as the other hunters. Mando actually didn't appear to lack humanity. " Yes. I have... sources there." He replied doubtfully.  Sources? There are people in Sullust that can inform him about me?! I thought to myself nervously.

Mando stepped towards the large opening doors of the space craft, and before it had even landed, he had jumped off. Bloody crazy man. I joked as another bounty hunter followed behind and then the ship took off once more. I awaited, a little hidden in the back of the ship for most of the bounty hunters to descend on different planets before it was my stop: Tatooine.

/ Time Skip /

I descended the ship into the hot and arid space town of Mos Eisley, and I immediately wanted to leave. The place brought back the first memories I could remember; it brought back the old y/n. Come on... Focus on the plan. I ordered myself as I ventured deep into the crowds. 

I had entered the Mos Eisley cantina, and awaited for about an hour or so before leaving: just incase the First Order was still tracking my every move, but I assumed Kylo had taken care of that. Kylo... I thought to myself as I prepared to find a pilot in town. How I miss him so much already! And I've been gone for hours only! I lamented to myself. 

I had successfully done step one of the plan: arrive in Tatooine without raising suspicion and without having the First Order following me. Now, it was time for phase two: the change. This is it. You're not the Crimson Hunter anymore. Now you're back to being y/n. I took deep breaths: I wasn't sure if I was feeling relieved to be my old self again and not have to hide behind a mask and a hood: it felt safer being an anonymous bounty hunter rather than a wanted bounty. Calm down, Why am I so stressed and worried? I have a lightsaber, and I am a force sensitive being for crying out loud! Nothing will happen to me! I reassured myself as I stood up and walked around the cantina, pretending to look for something or someone. 

I went inside a small restroom, making sure no one had seen me go in, and changed swiftly out of the Red Praetorian Guard robes, and into the black clothing I had underneath. I had stuffed in the black bag a long brownish cloak, and I tossed it over my shoulders, the hood covering my unmasked face completely. How odd does it feel to not have the mask. But it feels so nice to finally breath something else than the leather of the mask, even if that something else is the dusty air of Tatooine, I commented mentally as I walked out of the cantina as unsuspiciously as I could. 

The space port was filled with noise, it wasn't very enjoyable, it kind of reminded me of Nal Hutta, except here: there was sand absolutely everywhere. There was a couple good looking ships I could pay to take me somewhere else, but none of them seemed really convincing. I looked around hopelessly, and I decided to let my instinct guide me, which is probably something my conscience would've recommended. Use the force to guide you... I whispered in my mind as I breathed deeply and calmed my worries down. 

I started walking past many ships, and my feet stopped in front of a medium sized, silver space shuttle. The color reminded me of Mando's helmet, and it reflected the light of the binary suns. How pleasant. Now, where is it going? I asked myself as I approached a man, who seemed to be the pilot, that was exclaiming propaganda for his space ship.

" Excuse me..." I asked so fake and innocently to the man, who stopped yelling at people to come board his ship. " Could you tell me where this craft is headed to?" I questioned pointing at the shuttle and trying to change my voice as much as possible. " Where is it you want to go, little lady?" The man asked in a weird accent I couldn't recognize. I shrugged and hoped he would at least reply to my question. 

The man looked at me with an annoyed look, I knew he really didn't want to talk to me. I rolled my eyes and took out a small bag of coins from my bag, visible enough so the pilot could see. He raised his eyebrows and cleared his throat before firmly saying: " Ship's leaving in fifteen minutes. It's heading to Kijimi."

Kijimi....

What will happen next? I don't even know! I have reached a point in the story I never thought I would! I mean, 61 chapters?! I thought the whole fanfic was going to have like... 22. 

I needed time to plan out this chapter and the couple next ones, so I apologize if I publish them a little late :(

I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Can't wait to share the rest!

Have a wonderful day or night!
