Star Wars: The Storm Virus

Burning Sticks

GABRIEL'S POV

We reached the burning hut later to see nobody was in it, though finding something that showed there WAS probably someone here. Chewbacca was vigorously looking around for other Wookiee, as Kashyyyk was his home planet.

Han Solo said patting Chewbacca's shoulder, "We'll find them, Chewie."

Chewbacca groaned.

I held the communicator Scorch 1 gave me before they left, it should come in handy, then I put it back. After all they are TIE pilots.

"There's nothing in this hut, you sure this was recent?" Clark asked looking around the hut.

I replied, "There has to be, the fire is recent."

"Eyeta," Dathcha came up to me.

"Huh?" I asked him.

Dathcha told me him and Eket would stay and guard the Millennium Falcon, which would be a good idea, but I was thinking second thoughts at the same time.

I asked Dathcha, "You sure?" looking at the ship.

"Ibana," Dathcha replied with a confident nod.

I knew Dathcha and Eket were capable of protecting themselves, they've done it before.

Dathcha said to me, "Perupa, Eyeta."

"Yes, I'll pray for your protection," I said.

Dathcha and Eket proceeded to walk to the falcon, while me and the group explored Kashyyyk, not finding anything else in the burning hut.

Han Solo gave me a communicator just in case we were lost with them. Han Solo and Chewbacca then decided to walk up north while we headed east.

"WYAAAAA?" Chewbacca yelled out.

Han Solo said, looking around, "Just settle down, Chewie, I'm pretty sure there's other of your kind here. Or at least someone who isn't infected by this Storm Virus."

"Ohh haa," Chewbacca replied with a sign of a frown, Han Solo patted his shoulder.

"You think there's people here?" Jessica asked me.

I replied, "Well hopefully not zombies," I looked around aiming my blaster. After a second I heard a stick snap.

I said, now focusing on my blaster sight, "Shh, shh, I heard something."

We all ducked having our blasters out, I heard the snap again, but now I saw smoke coming from where I heard it.

"Fire, stay quiet," I said quietly to the group.

They all complied as we crouched towards it slowly and silently. The smoke was now larger, I couldn't hear anyone - or anything besides the crackle of the fire, something was definitely burning, and it was sticks.

We were right next to a bush when a pair of 2 pups, Wookiee children aimed spears at us. We froze, I dropped my weapon. I took out the communicator and called Han Solo.

Han Solo answered, "What's going on?"

I replied, "Pups, Wookiee kids, they're aiming spears at us, we need Chewbacca."

"Got it, we'll be there quick!" Han Solo replied.

I put the communicator down, leaving my blaster on the floor, then I slowly attempted to put down the pups' spears, I had almost regretted it. They almost stabbed me with them but luckily I backed up in time, bumping into the group.
