Droplets of morning dew splashed my face, making me jolt out of my nightmare. The nightmares that Ezra brought back to life. Starship cuddled next to me, keeping warm in the crook of my arm. I crawled out of bed, knowing it was going to be a long day. Ezra would be looking for me and I needed to hide. He was much stronger in the force then I was. It would be easy if I stayed in one place for him to find me.

"Starship, let's get going." The Loth-Cat purred, following me as we got ready to leave.

I hiked through the tall grass, hoping to distract them with the ship and speeder I left behind. I was carrying extra weight on my shoulder with Starship. My hood hid most of the gray stormtrooper helmet. The Spectre-7 helmet was hidden in my backpack, so no one could see it. Although I was positive that I would never wear those colors ever again, there was something about Spectre-7 that I couldn't let go. No matter how hard I tried to rip that part of me away, it stuck with me. I was a Rebel, the Rebel I no longer wanted to be because it unleashed the monsters I fought so hard to keep away.

Suddenly, a ship flew overhead, flattening the grass around me and taking away my cover. I dropped to one knee, looking through the rifle's scope to get a better look at the ship. The Ghost Crew. I thought bitterly, as it's landing gear unfolded. The darkness started to rise, I could feel the heat in my veins. The will to fight rushed through me, part of me wanted to fight them. To battle my past, best it in combat and get rid of Spectre-7 once and for all. But the other part of me knew that I should run, because the second I ignited that saber it was likely that my cover would be blown. The ramp unfolded, revealing Ezra and only Ezra. Like he was expecting a fight.

"You shouldn't have come here." I growled,

"You shouldn't have left." He countered, my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach.

Did he figure it out?

"Why would you be so selfish, Grey?" A silent sigh of relief rushed through my body.

"It's not selfish if you have reasons." He scoffed, folding his arms impatiently, this was a different Ezra, he was no longer the boy I once knew. He was darker, drained of his old happiness.

"Tell you what, let's fight, you and me. If I win, you'll come with us, if you win, we'll leave you alone." I ran the offer over in my head, it was tempting. The urge to fight wanted to over power my urge to refuse. You can win against Ezra. He may have been practicing, but he won't be expecting my Jar'Kai skills. This is your chance, Celeste. Get rid of your past!

"My fight is with you, then."
