Tell Me... Love is Endless...

Chapter 40

Silver jolted at the sound that radiated in her head. She spun around on the chair she was sitting on to see if the bone chilling sound was coming from who she thought it was. She turns to see no one. She shook her head, trying to rid the thought of the voice then spun back. She tried to focus on anything else around her in the small town everyone called Tarkintown. The sound her sabers click together on her waist in the sweet lothal air. The sound of a different saber’s ignition came from behind her from behind her. She gasped in shock and spun around to meet the threat with her hands resting on her sabers, only to see no one. She blinked her eyes a few times to clear her thoughts then turned back to the bar to see a young Aki-Aki woman standing in front of her. She jolted in surprise at the woman, not expecting to find the bartender behind her, nor for it to be an Aki-Aki. She took note of the translator that sat on the side of the small woman who leaned on the counter, “What can I do for ya miss?” she asked in english as Silver just smiled, “Actually, I need directions back to Capital City, I kinda got turned around out here.” she said with a nervous laugh as she rubbed the back of her neck. The woman smiled and pointed straight behind Silver, “Straight dew north and you'll hit it. If you hit the old imperial comm tower, then you'll know you are going the right direction.” the Aki-Aki said with a smile as Silver returned it, “Thank you so much Miss.” She said, skidding off the bar stool and spinning to walk North.

She left the barrier of Tarkintown and was now out in the open, she breathed in the sweet air as she glided across the grassy fields. She watched as the light blue sky turned to a gradient between orange and purple. She smiled at the scenery but quickly lost the facial expression, “Silver.” The bone chilling voice was back. She shivered at the sound of it, “What do you want.” she mumbled aloud as her arms folded in on her and across over her chest as she kept her eyes forward. A laugh radiated around her as the feminine voice came again, “To come to the light of course.” Silver scoffed at the remark and rolled her eyes, “As if, I am more than happy on the Grey Republic Base. They actually stuck around.” She scolded quietly as the voice sounded louder behind her in her head, “My child, I left to get away from the First Order and your Father.” she retorted back, making silver scoff again in annoyance. She spun around to where she thought the woman was but was greeted with a white snout at eye level. She jumped back in surprise, but took a breath to see it was the white Loth-Wolf from earlier, “Oh, it's just you.” She breathed as she stepped forward and rubbed the wolf’s top head. The wolf leaned into the touch and growled softly in contentment as Silver ran her hands through the short fur of the wolf. She looked down to the wolf’s snout, noticing a necklace hanging from the wolf’s mouth, “Watchya got there bud?” She asked as she reached to take it. The wolf reluctantly handed her the beaded necklace. She hummed as she examined the necklace. Looking closer, the brown beads shimmered in the low light. Green and blue also shown on the necklace as small ribbons tied in between the beads on the necklace. She played with the smoothe beads between her fingers, admiring the shimmer and splash of color on the necklace. She breathed out a relaxed sigh as the wolf huffed a puff of air, “Let's get back to base.”

“In my opinion the ship looks kinda- bland. Don’t you think? The ugly color reminds me of Imperial Grey.” Zeb said with a raspy voice as his arms folded in front of him and leaned against the wall that was painted said color . Casedrion had decided to take a break from the boring grey room he was staying in and was working on repairing the old coffee pot that had sat in The Reaper, seeing Zeb only a few minutes after sitting down to work on the small project he decided he would work on. “You're telling me, it's like the only color on this ship besides the gold on the star atop of the hybrid symbol outside the ship.” Casedrion retorted as he looked dead into the bottom of the coffee pot, placing wires back into place and moving others to be replaced.

Sabine wasn't long to join the small party in the commons, along with the conversation that Zeb and Casedrion were having, “What are you doing?” She questioned moving to lean against the ship’s haul, “Relax, I'm just fixing up the coffee pot that's been broken since we’ve been on the ship.” Casedrion started, reminding the others why he was still here and not leaving the system to get back to the Yavin system, “Speaking of ‘we’, where’s Silver, you two should have left a long time ago.” Zeb said in a playfully annoyed tone as he looked back to Casedrion, “I honestly don't know. I tried to comm her, but she never answered.” Casedrion answered blandly as his gloved hands placed the final wire back into place. He closed up the bottom of the pot and turned it right side up, sitting back with a sigh afterwards, “Hey Sabine, you’re an artist,” Casedrion began, catching the woman’s attention, “That I am?” she questioned as she looked his way, “Don't you ever look at this ship and wonder why it's so dull looking?” he asked, making Sabine smile and laugh softly, “I'm guessing you haven’t seen Violet’s quarters?” she asked as Casedrion sat up, “Of course not, it's not my ship.” he said in defense as Sabine just rolled her eyes and a smile still plastered on her face, “Follow me.”
