Tell Me... Love is Endless...

Chapter 24

Silver sat in a chair, at a brown wooden table. She worked on her comlink like crazy. Her headphones plugged into her ears, listening to instrumental music as she worked, slowly growing more angry with the comlink. As she worked, Casedrión slept only a few feet away on the black couch. He slept directly across from Silver, allowing her to watch over him at all times.

As she worked furiously on her com, she struck her hand again with the damn screwdriver. She sent it flying across the table in anger. She pulled out her headphones then took a drink of her water. She sat there in the silence as a small knock came from her door. She looked over to her clock, which read 0335 meaning it was extremely late at night. Silver stood from her table, she was wearing her pjs, ready for bed. They consisted of back workout shorts and a black sports bra. Her hair was back in a messy dutch braid as she approached the door.

She turned the nob and met a familiar female face, "Carina." She whispered to herself as she looked the general up and down, "I brought you some food." She said with a smile as Silver opened the door more for her to enter the room. Carina looked around the room then at Casedrión, then moved to the table, placing the food ontop. Silver followed then moved her work out of the way and pulled the plate of soup towards her, slurping every drop that came on the spoon. "How have you been?" Carina asked, looking at Silver as she ate. Silver whipped her face of excess soup as she looked at Carina, "Stressful." Was all she could say as she moved the half finished soup bowl out of the way then took the com and started working on it.

"What are you trying to do?" Carina asked quietly, looking at the com, "Override the system." Silver spoke blankly as she worked harder. Her thumbs bled as black tape wrapped her fingers. Her braid fell to the side of her face as she clicked the gear into place making another break. "Damn it." She whispered as she set the panel down then wiped her hands on her legs, leaving bloody streak marks. "I'm going to train tomorrow, so I need sleep." She said blankly as she watched the com with intense as Carina stood and walked to the door, "Night Silv." She said before walking out. "Night Carina, thanks for the soup." Silver said before the door closed. She got up then locked the door, grabbed the dish of soup and placed it in the small sink.

Silver pivoted towards her bed and climbed in quietly, door cracked to where she could still see into the living room and directly towards Casedrión. Her eyes fell with sleep as she turned to her side.

The next day came quick. She stood to the sound of her annoying alarm clock ringing. She looked to see Casedrión slowly waking. She walked to her bathroom and started to get ready. She pulled on a black sports bra, more equipped for training then the one she slept in. She pulled on black leggings with a mesh that runs on the side all the way to her upper thigh in a red tent. She pulled on a cropped black hoodie then braided her hair again.

She walked out of the bathroom and pulled out her sabers to attach to her waist. As she walked into the kitchen, Casedrión sat up and smiled, "Morning Silv." He said tiredly as he stretched. "Feel like wanting to walk?" Silver asked as she walked to her small bag and packed snacks and training gear. "Beats staying in here, let me go change." He said and left to the bathroom. The First Order was kind enough to lend clothes to Casedrión so he wouldn't be wearing rags or feminine clothes.

He walked out wearing a black shirt with red cuffed pants over his boots. The shirt tucked into the pants as he pulled on his leather jacket and gloves. She smiled at him as they walked to the door, sharing the smile. They walked out of the room then locked the door with a new code. They walked through the halls, talking quietly as they came onto the training arena. Silver dropped her bag onto Casedrión as he sat against a wall. Silver pulled her sabers and inginghted them. A old battle droid stood in front of her, she smiled as she tied a ribbon around her eyes. "Ready." She spoke as a line of fires came from the droid. Silver spun and blocked till she could become closer to the droid. She slashed its gun then its arms, winning the simulation. She practiced like this multiple times till the pull of the force came her way. She finished her current droid then flipped to the pull and pointed her saber towards it, without moving her ribbon.

She breathed heavy as she took the ribbon off her eyes. Infront of her stood a masked figure who scoffed at her stance, "To sloppy, you don't finish your moves. You use the same pattern each time. You become to predictable." Jake said as he pulled his mask then his cloak. Silver looked to Casedrión who sat not to far from her. She smiled then looked to Jake, "Wanna bet?" She said as she held the ribbon in her hands. "bet on what?" Jake asked confused as he stretched, "That I would win against you." She said, spinning her sabers, "You're on." He said as he took his saber and ignighted it. They climbed into the rink then waited for the first move. "Ready when you are Solo." Silver said as she pulled her hood over her head and planted her feet. Jake smiled then charged forward for a strike, he missed significantly as Silver blocked the strike, getting him in the arm.

"Got ya." She smirked as she twirled her sabers and paced in a menacing way. Jake shot up and delivered multiple blows but each time missed. Silver smiled as Jake breathed heavy, "What did you say I was, to predictable?" She asked in a cocky tone as Jake charged at a obvious strike zone. Silver moved then glazed his back with her saber. She flipped both the sabers while they faded away then attached them to her side. "I win." She smiled slyly then jumped from the platform and onto the ground. Silver gathered her things then stood with Casedrión, "Bye Jake." She exclaimed in a cocky tone then she left.

Later that day, Silver walked through the halls with Casedrión at her side. She neglected to leave his after what happened the last time she did. Her clothes were now her original clothes, red tank with a black button down shirt and jeans with combat boots. As they walked to the Bay, troopers ran in all directions. "Is it always this busy?" Casedrión asked quietly as they entered the bay. People stood barking orders at each other, "Where is Carina?" Silver whispered to Casedrión as she walked up to the bay. "Everyone calm down! What is going on!?" She yelled as she looked at everyone confused.

"Resistance."
