The Unexpected Raider

Help

Chapter 6

Sara sat staring at the wall. All she could see was black. Her eyes were wide open but no images were there anymore. She could feel the child sleeping beside her and she placed a hand on his back. He was calm and she could sense that. Her link with the force was growing and the bond between her and grogu was as well. They were both just trying to survive this nightmare and learn their powers. The sound of the door  startled  her and Sara jumped a bit. She raised a fist, but din's voice calmed her.
"It is ok, it is just me..." sara lowered her hand. A sigh of relief washed over her.
"Where am I?" She asked
"Bobba fetts ship. The razor creat was destroyed." Din explained. Sara could sense sadness in his voice.
"Im sorry..." she spoke softly.
"I am sorry about your eyes." Din reached for the wrapping that was around her face. Even though she didnt see it, she sum how sensed it and caught his hand.
"I am just trying to help." He explains. She knew this, but she was still jumpy from everything that happened. The kidnapping, the fight, and now she was blind. It didn't hurt, not physically anyways. The saber burned her nerve endings, but they still had to keep her wounds around her eyes clean. Her eyes were still there, they were just milky white and scared like around her eyes and nose. Sara used her hand to place his on the side of her head. She could feel him gently lift and un wrap the wraps.
"So, how bad is it? Do I still have a face?" She asked.
"Your eyes and the areas around them and burned." He explained as he took a seat in-front of her. He then began to dab and ointment on the burned area gently.
"But you are still beautiful...as always." He spoke the truth. This made her blush a bit and lean into his touch.
"I am sorry this happened to you sara...I really am. I should have never left you and grogus side.."
"Don't...don't blame yourself. It was Gideon. This whole mess was his fault." She stopped him from guilt tripping himself.
"At least I was able to find answers, but at a price." She sighed deeply. He brushed her blonde hair out of her face and behind her ear. Sara reached up slowly to feel his cold helmet with her eyes.
"I guess I better learn to cope with out my eyes now." He took one of her hands in his as he lifted up his helmet a bit. As he leaned in close to her, He slid his helmet up a bit so she could feel his warm check. She was a bit stunned he did this, but sara didn't utter a word. Her fingers traced the side of his face. His facial hair tickled her skin as she made her way towards his lips. She outlined the slowly. Sara leaned in close and could hear him breathing heavy under his helmet. She could feel his warm breach on her fingers and his lips parted slightly. With one hand he held his helmet up a bit while the other slid slowly down her arm to rest on her waist. Sara could almost sense his emotions. They were not as strong as grogu's. Grogu had the force and could project his and his thoughts. It was how sara and grogu spoke, but was this possible with others?  She could hear his heart beating fast and an almost anticipation was thick in the air. It was almost as if this was the first time anyone had touch his face in this way. She knew he couldn't take his helmet off, and he didn't completely take it off. It sat on the edge of his nose allowing her to feel part of his face. He felt human like her.
Sara inches closer towards him, now feeling his breath on her face. Her stomach fluttered as she could sense the attraction the two shared. She was so hard on him and all he wanted to do was help her.  Now, all he wanted to do was kiss her. It took sara being blind to finally see the feeling she had for him and he for her. Slowly she pressed her pink lips against his. She could feel her face flush hot and belly do summer salutes. Mando deepened the kiss as he leaned in closer towards her. Both of Her hands trails down his face, around to the back of his neck, and up his hair line. His hair was short but soft. She could feel his hand run up her waist and shoulder to cup her face gently. This euphoric sensation made her forget about all the heartache and pain she had went through. The anger , rage, and pain almost vanished as she kissed him. They would have went farther, but the sound of foot steps could be heard coming from down the hall. Din quickly broke away and pushed his helmet down. Just as he adjusted it, boba fett walked in.
"We are about to land. How are they?" He asked.
"Im doing better. Thank you for your help." Sara faced in boba's direction. Grogu came to and yawned. He looked up at din and the boba.
"Good. I will help you acquire a ship, and then we part ways." Boba announced before leaving.
"Where are we to head after we get a ship?" Sara asked.
"Im not sure." Din began to wrap her eyes with a fresh rag.
"I wonder if anyone heard our calls with the force...I honestly hope not. If they are anything like Gideon...I want nothing to do with all this." Sara confesses
"I understand." Din tied the rag and let his hands rest on his knees.
"Me and Grougo can train each other." She smiled and looked down to the bed beside her.
"Even though I can't see...I can still sense things...before I could but now it is amplified." She confesses.
"What ever comes our way...we will deal with it. We just need a ship. And some possible jobs. We could use the credits."Din added.
"That is right. You are a bounty hunter after all. And now you have a sith and a Jedi to help you." She grins. Din couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
"Yes...and Grogu says he is hungry. You are always hungry little guy." She pats his head.
"Maybe Bo kitan could use your help. She is a mandalorian like you. You could meet up with your people." Sara spoke up. She could sense it was still in the back of his mind, worrying him.
"How did you know that?" Din asked
"I told you...my sensitivity to the force is growing." She smiled warmly.
"We will figure it out...I just want to make sure you and Grogu are all right first."
"I understand, but you have helped us...let us help you."
