"Hallucinations"
Summary: Rey thinks she might just be going crazy. (These are shorter snippets than I usually write, but it's slowly growing a life of its own and a PLOT EEEP, so I thought it might be fun to shake things up. xD Rated: PG/PG-13 for violence, dark themes, scary themes)

Prologue:
Rey knew: People on Jakku go crazy.
She swore it would never be her.
She would never wander through the sand-mists chattering with hallucinations and feeling her soul dry up.
Well… she was right about the soul thing, at least.

Hallucinations: Part 1
The first time Rey hallucinated, she ended up scaring both herself and her conjured apparition. Prowling high above on the sand dunes overlooking the Graveyard, dehydrated and wishing she had a few drops of water left in her canteen for the ride back home, Rey came face to face with the shrouded figure, shrieked once, and scrambled back to her speeder with heart pounding and fingers sweaty.
For its own part, her hallucination shimmered and dissolved in an instant as though equally frightened.
Rey muttered under her breath the entire trip home, with her precious few findings strapped to the back of the rusty red speeder. She wasn't crazy, she wasn't one of the desert walkers who went out into the sand-mists and wasted away talking to nothingness.
She might be crazy for staying on this Force-forsaken planet, hoping someone would come back for her, but she wasn't crazy like that.
Not her. Besides, they would come back for her, and she was determined to stay sane until then.
She wouldn't become like the others. Never ever.
That evening she scratched another line on the hull of the broken walker and stared up into the darkening sky. With a good night's sleep, she would be as good as new. Next time, she would be sure to take more water with her.

So, a short start, lol, but that's the snippet format of this story, and it takes place over weeks and months, at least at the beginning. :D
