Let the Past Die

Chapter 5

What the fuck just happened? You awkwardly brought yourself to your feet, holding the side of your head to ease the ache as you stood frozen in place thinking about what the hell just happened. The door was left open and you decided to make a quick exit in case he came back.

As you walked out of the room you immediately noticed a stormtrooper laying on the ground. This must have been the loud thud you had heard just moments before. You nudged him with your foot but he was unresponsive. Fuck. You looked both ways to see if anyone was around to help. Although this kid could have been dead because of the Supreme Leader, you couldn't help but feel like it was your fault. Suddenly, you heard footsteps approaching and quickly stepped back in the doorway in case it was him and his posse coming back for you. Instead it was some nurses and another stormtrooper leading them. They scooped up the unconscious body from the floor and began to usher him off. You decided to follow them just to make sure he was alright. They walked quickly towards the medbay where several doctors were awaiting their arrival. The trooper's helmet was immediately ripped off of his head to reveal a young man with blonde hair that was stained red from the blood gushing from his head. You immediately stepped forward to follow as he was rushed off to another room when two hands stopped you.

"Do you know what happened to him?" You turned your head to see Dr. Garyn's eyes staring back at you.

"Um, no, not completely. All I know is that the Supreme Leader walked out of the room, I heard a thud and yell, and when I went out he was just laying there and-" You rambled.

"Hey, relax this isn't anything we haven't seen before okay?" She cut you off. "But look at you, you must have done something right, you made it out alive." She joked.

"Yeah, barely." You replied.

"What happened?" She said offering you a seat.

"It all happened so quickly, he asked me about the mission, and brought up things about it no one should have known, and the whole time he spoke as if he knew me. He brought up parts of my life that I have never told anyone before, and then he took of his mask-"

She cut you off again. "Wait, hold on. He took off his mask?!" Dr. Garyn looked as if she had just heard the biggest news of her life. You nodded quickly.

"What did he look like?" She asked, seemingly giddy about it.

You stuttered. "Um, he was younger than I expected, probably around our age. He had dark hair that hung around his shoulders, and freckles spotted on his face, and a big scar that ran down his forehead to his jaw."

"Oh my stars, was he-" She looked around, "Hot?"

He definitely wasn't bad looking. "I don't know, I didn't think so when he was ripping through my head."

"Stars are you alright? No other head injuries or anything?"

"Not that I know of, but I-I have to get out of here." You had a sudden urgency to leave. Like at any moment he would turn a corner and just murder you on the spot.

You quickly gathered yourself and began to walk out of the medbay. Garyn just stood there, watching you as you left. Your legs were moving so fast they may have fallen off. And then it hit you again. The feeling. The one you got whenever he was around. Fuck. You seriously began to speed walk through the dark hallways when you turned a corner. There he stood, helmet back on his head. The two of you had an awkward amount of space between you. Tension thick in the air. Neither of you said anything. That is until you opened your big mouth.

"You have got to be kidding me right now."

At that, he charged you. He grabbed your upper arm and pulled you in the opposite direction. You really did it now bitch, you were about to make it out here and you just had to open your mouth. You were pulled from your thoughts by the overpowering feeling that was burning on your arm where his gloved hand was. His grip was tight, but it wasn't pain that consumed you, it was the feeling of his touch, it was nothing like you had ever felt before. He ushered you into a small conference room and promptly let go of your arm, standing just a few steps away from you. You were really at a loss for words now, and all you could do was watch him.
