Tell Me... Love is Endless...

Chapter 16

The suns started to rise as Silver levitated over the sand, meditating with the force until the suns were visible. As the suns leaked over the horizon, Silver lifted her hand for her sabers, both colliding into her them. She flipped from the air and landed in the soft sand, sabers in both hands. She took out a bandana and tied it around her eyes as she clicked a button making a circular floating droid came to her, wizing around her, ready to fire. She took a breath and started to block hits from the droid.

As she trained, Casedrión walked out of the ship, coffee in hand as he watched her train. Violet walked out, holding a coffee in her hands to, "She's only 16." Casedrión said as he watched her train with the droid, "She has dreams of a woman..." Violet sighed as she watched her train as well, taking zips from her coffee. "She thought she'd be in love...She thought she'd have the white picket fence and the family she wanted..." Violet continued as Casedrión's head fell a little and drifted to the side to see Violet, "Now she stands on the corner...She sold herself to the war, hoping to stop it." Violet finished as she took another sip of her coffee.

"When the world gave up on her, she gave up on herself... She said, can anybody hear me? She said, does anybody care?" Casedrión whispered as he turned his gaze back to Silver, watching and inspecting her moves. "You're only fifteen, the world is passing you by.... Your father killed your mother at a young age then turned it on himself..." Violet said, reading his mind, catching Casedrión attention. "I slept on the streets of war.... I got to involved with the world and it almost cost me my life..." Casedrión whispered as he sipped the last of his coffee.

Silver took a hit from the droid, making anger surge through her even more. She struck her saber through the ball and immediately had a vision of her mother. The woman scolding her father as she stood helpless... Then the physical fight... Silver remembered the day quite vividly, her father had lost significantly, only escaping because of Silver. She had used a staff to beat the awful woman off of him, then treating his wounds after they were far apart.

She slumped to the ground, breathing heavy as a hand laid on her shoulder, "Are you ok?" Casedrión asked, his metallic voice almost sounding concerned but still soothing Silver. She didn't answer his question and bawled up into his grib, "you are not alone, I'm standing by your side" Casedrión said as Silver let a few tears fall down her face, "I walk with you threw hell....I walk with you tonight" Casedrión whispered as he held her close, engulfing her in warmth, "We are the forgotten Cas...That nobody wants to face..." Silver said through tears as she gripped his chest tightly, "Together we can rise, let's climb out of hell." Casedrión said as they rocked a little in the sand, sun starting to blare down on them, "I'm standing by your side, Silv." Casedrión said as they separated so they could see each other formally, "Your struggle makes you beautiful," Casedrión whispered as he wiped away her tears and smiled through his mask. She smiled and blushed a little as she leaned in and planted a red kiss on the cheek of his mask. "Out of hell we will climb." Silver said holding out her pinky to make a promise. Casedrión released a chuckle then wrapped his finger around hers, "Out of hell we will climb."

Violet took her time to walk back to the main street. She stood at a bakery sort of store and bought portion bread and waters for syala and the slaves. As Violet rounded the corner, the man stood proud over the slaves, whip in hand. Violet walked up, posture strong as the man raised his whip to Syala for defending one of the slaves. Violet took the time to act, she used the force to hold the whip back then ran as fast as possible, knocking him out with one kick. Violet stood her full height from the crouched position she was in, then fixed her hair to its correct state. She reached for the bread and water then started passing it out.

Syala was last to claim the food, "Thanks..." She whispered as she reached for the bread and took it, then the water. "You're welcome... Come with me Syala... You need a teacher." Violet said as she sat next to her and started to eat the last of the portion bread, "Why do you even try?" Syala asked as she started to eat her bread as well, "Because you deserve better." Violet whispered as she stood, "So, you coming?" She asked, outstretching her hand for her to take. "Sure, but I decide when I come back." Syala said grabbing her hand and standing up.

"Wait right here for a second." Violet said as she walked over to the slaveholder and bent down, "You will go back to your house, and never think about owning slaves again." She said as she waved her hand in front of the man, the man repeated her words and headed for a building, "You are all free to go." Violet shouted as they cheered in happiness and bolted in different directions, "Shall we?" Violet said, outstretching a arm, which Syala gladly took, "We shall."
