Forgotten, But Not Lost

Chapter 3

Amar's nightmares were always the same. Darkness creeping, Utter loneliness approaching, and coldness that filled the surroundings. The image of a young Jedi knight standing in vast blackness calling out for someone named "Kanan". Amar never knew who this was when she was just a youngling. All though, She had asked Master Luke and he had told her that he was a brave Jedi who sacrificed himself for the rebellion that had come and past. Amar knew deep down inside there was always more to this story...

Amar never asked about the other young boy who had blue hair that called out the Jedi Master's name. Somehow familiar to her, she knew just by looking at him that this was her father, Ezra Bridger.

After the voice in her head confirmed her father's name to her when she was a child, she knew for sure that was him. They were nightmare's but deep down she found peace knowing that this was the only way she could see her family. Unfortunately, this dream shifted to a planet she didn't have the name to. It was a dreadful place that had electrical storms that caused lightning to flourish above. Inside the building she walked through in her dream were tall monstrous statues of hooded beings. She reached an opening in the corridor and saw a man crumple to the ground. Ben's aura she felt on a daily basis, fluttered out like he was passing on. All she could do in her dream was fall to her knees and grasp at her chest as her heart literally snapped in two.

That night was more intense than usual, Amar had been tossing and turning. She had gotten so worked up in her dream that she was actually levitating items in her hut around the room.

Across the way Ben woke suddenly, He had felt her pain through their bond. He knew Amar had horrible dreams, but something about this one in particular was more intense and painful to her. He didn't hesitate to enter her hut, he ventured in to see all her belongings in the air and Amar in a tight ball hugging her legs. He noticed she was still asleep and sweating from whatever was causing her pain. Amar had shot up after a moment screaming for him. In an instance all the items fell to the floor as Amar's eyes darted around her room adjusting to the darkness. Ben had then rushed to her to comfort her, Amar grabbed his arms and just wept into them. He cradled her and soothed her before he dared to ask what her dream was about.

"Mar, this dream you had, seemed to have darkness surrounding and encasing you. What did you see?" He brought her back away from his body to look into her eyes.

"Ben, I felt you. I felt you die and there was nothing I could do." In a flash she was consumed again by her pain and her force started to reach out and consume her hut into a reverberating rolling power. Ben instantly tried to calm her so she wouldn't get out of hand.

"Amar i'm here and i'm not going anywhere. You know I would never leave you. I need you to believe me." Ben tried and tried to soothe her with his words, but it seemed she was a little more wrecked than he could ever imagine, this was different. It was like she wasn't channelling the same kind of force than usual...more like a deeper darker force. He knew if he was going to contain this from Master Luke he needed to at that moment.

Ben grabbed Amar's hand and placed it on his very much alive beating heart. With his other hand he forced her chin up to look him in the eyes.

"Amar reach out in the bond. Feel my heartbeat. You know it's beating. Feel it. Breathe. Breathe." Ben tried soothing her and to calm her down before by her force alone, she destroyed her hut.

Amar started to breath more evenly and exhale by exhale she calmed down more and more.

Ben had never seen her like this. He knew this was a new dream and not the same ones she had about her father. Amar slumped down back to her bed and started to close her eyes.
