Me: Hi guys! So, I haven't written a fanfic in a LONG time. Hope I can still do a good job. Sorry if the grammar may be off, but I did my best. I will try my best to portray the Star Wars Rebels Characters as best as I can. Please forgive me if I do a bad job of it. Still can't figure out droid language, but tried my best. *pulls Fawn over*
Fawn: Umm, hello. *shyly* Nice to meet you all.
Me:*looks at Fawn*
Fawn: Oh *studdering* Saveg1 d-does not own Star Wars Rebels n-nor Star Wars
Me:Yup! Just don't steal my characters, settings, or ideas. And we are all good :D

Unknown's POV
"Hand her over. And we'll spare you, child. . ."
I could still hear that voice ringing in my head. It definitely belonged to a women, but none that I recognized. Her voice. . . it was filled with menace.
"There's no where to hide. . ."
I could still feel the fear creeping up my spine as she chased after me relentlessly. I had somehow barley escaped her grasp—No, their grasp, she wasn't alone. A man aided in the search for me and my—who was with me in that nightmare?
. . .
In the nightmare, my instincts were the only guide to some unknown safe haven. Adrenaline had pumped through me as I ran through the endless maze of streets. My legs had long grown tired but I knew that if I stopped, the two calling after me would catch up, I couldn't risk that.
Well, it was all a dream. All a dream. Just a dream.
I think.
It felt so real, though.
. . .
As of right now, I was clutching the ends of my blanket as I sat upright in my small bed. . .recalling those horrifying moments. Beads of sweat already had dripped down the side of my face, my breaths became less ragged and slowed down as I processed the reality around me.
I was at home. Safe at home, inside my little room. Nothing could hurt me. Right?
This was already the third time this week where I got this same nightmare, each time images becoming more clear. The voices also grew in volume as well as frequency.
Afraid of visiting the nightmare again, I got up from bed and walked over to my bedroom drawer. I plopped myself down into the chair next to it, turning on the tiny lamp. I stared at myself in the mirror propped on the drawer. Instead of a healthy girl, I saw one who had dark circles around her eyes and a face full of sadness. Her usually bright amber eyes seemed dull just like her mostly hazel hair. It was like all the energy was drained from her after losing a fight. But the most apparent new feature wasn't the eyes.
It was the tears.
Tears? Was I crying in my sleep? Why?
Using my left hand I touched my cheek, finding a tiny stream of water.
Suddenly, the door behind me creep open, revealing my mother in a simple white nightgown, holding a burning candle in her hand. Relief poured into me as my pounding heart slowed down. Noticing that I wasn't in bed asleep, she gave me a concerned look.
Putting the candle light out and placing it on a nearby desk, she sat on my bed, gesturing for me to sit as well. I did what was told, seeking comfort.
Resting my head on her lap like when I was little, I waited for her questions. Waiting for her to pry open my vault of trapped feelings. She began combing my hair, when she noticed the tears. She probably had accidentally touched them while combing.
"Did you have that nightmare again Fawn?" She asked in a gentle but tired tone. I nodded back, not answering. She than picked me up so that I was facing her and looking directly into her worried eyes. Hugging me, she had put her chin on top of my head as if I was a little bundle of innocence that needed to be protected. I wasn't little though, I'm 14 now, but the repeating nightmare had scared me.
I buried myself deeper into her arms, into her long brown hair. That's when I finally spoke.
"Mom? I'm afraid, this dream. . .it felt so real. It felt like one that dream when I gotten lost in that shipyard. The shipyard dream that later came true. What if this one comes true like that dream?" I said.
She hugged me tighter.
"Fawn, if anything happens you know where to go, right?"
"Yeah."
"Just remember that we will always love you, and to have courage."
"You said that the last time. What's really going to happen? Is something going to happen to me? To you and dad? Tell me." I pleaded.
She sighed. "To be exact, I don't know what will happen in the future. All we can do is to hope for the best. But dear, if things do turn to the worst, remember this: If you look for-"
"light, you will find it. But if you look for darkness, that is all you will find.* Be the light in the dark." I interrupted her, knowing the phrase quite well. She smiled back.
"And that light is what you'll cling on. Can you do that for me right now?" She asked softly.
I sighed, not getting the answer I wanted but nodded anyway. Giving me one last squeeze, she took the candle and left the room, but not before sending me one last reassuring smile.
I turned the lamp off and crawled back into bed.
Light, light, all I need is light. And before I knew it, I was asleep.
Dara's (Fawn's mother) POV
"How is she?" My husband asked as I entered our bedroom. At this point, all I could do was sob, I couldn't hold back my anxiety anymore. Alex instantly took me into his arms and guided me so that we could sit and properly talk it out.
I wiped some of the tears off my face as he wrapped his right arm around me.
"Alex, I can't take this anymore. I can't handle all the worry. I'm scared of the day they take her away."
"Shhh," He said trying to comfort me. "It's all going to be fine."
"But Alex, she's been having that repeated vision. It's bound to come true. We can't protect our little girl any more."
He sighed, and looked to the ground before looking at me.
"We can not stop what the Force wants for her future, all we can do is help her prepare for it."
"That's true," I said in defeat. "Maybe we should have had Master Alurea taken her instead."
"What good would it do, even if she's trained? Who else could we trust?" He said in frustration.
"It's finally that time isn't it?"
The Next Day-in Ardith-(Takes place during the 'Future of the Force' episode)
Ezra's POV
Right now Ahsoka, Kanan, Zeb, and me were going to the third set of coordinates that Ahsoka managed to decode. The third set of coordinates were part of the side quest for the inquisitors looking for force sensitive children. We managed to save two so far, though it was a pretty close call. Currently, we were traveling in hyperspace for quite some time and I was getting a bit antsy.
"How come it's taking so long this time?" I asked as I played around with the seats of the Phantom.
"We going to Ardith, a planet located in the edges of the Outer System. It's going to take a while." Ashoka explained.
"Hopefully we get there before the inquisitors. Thankfully, Zeb destroyed their ships, giving us some extra needed time." Said Kanan.
"Whrr! Whr-Whrr-Whrrrr" complained Chopper.
"Yes, you helped too Chopper." I patted him on the head.
"Yeah, but he did tried to destroy the ships with the baby in it. Can't forget that." Zeb grumbled.
"WHAT?!" We all shouted in shock.
"Whr…Whr-Whrr-Whr" It was than where we proceeded to hear Chopper's so called "explanation".
Fawn's POV
"Bye!" I called to my parents as they went to the monthly town meeting. The town meeting was always monitored by the Imperials in fear that a rebellion would start. I honestly didn't understand why they would think a bunch of farmers would be part of a rebellion. Our focus was on our agricultural needs that fueled our economy. We are just a small village, though we do often go to nearby trading cities/ports to sell our crops.
And just like every town meeting, I always was left out of it in fear that the Imperials would find out about me. I found the Imperials bothersome, as they often interfered with our trade and stole from us. If we ever tried to protest, they would accuse us of treason.
Though, I don't believe that the Imperial's immoral actions are the reason why my parents kept me hidden. It had to be more than that, but whenever I questioned it, my parents would get "side-tracked", stray off from it, or wave me off. It was a bit frustrating to not know the reasons, in addition to taking the extra effort from hiding the Imperials. Luckily, they only visit every 2-3 weeks. My running and hiding skills definitely improved because of that, but I lived in the constant fear of being discovered. Why? I wanna know that too.
But right now, my problem was taking care of my baby cousin, Carrie. My Aunt and Uncle had gone to the meeting, and knowing that I wasn't going to be there, I was in charge of the baby. I was at their house right now, I didn't really mind Carrie's company. I don't think she minds either. My aunt and uncle say that whenever I arrive, it always makes Carrie smile. It's always fun getting to play with Carrie, we kinda have this sort of special bond. I can't describe it, really, all I know is that it kinda brings this sort of warm feeling inside.
I could take care of myself, and even though Carrie was a bit of an extra hassle, it's always nice to play with her especially since I was always on the lookout. I could always relax when I'm with her. We were almost like sisters. Though, I'm 14 and she's 2, bit of a large age gap.
Wherever I was, I always brought my blaster and taser in my utility belt for protection. With Carrie, that was no exception, there is no way anyone is hurting my sis- I mean, cousin.
Everything seemed to be going well today, but I couldn't help but have a nagging feeling that something bad would happen. It's probably because of the dream I had last night.
Shake it off, Fawn. Everything will be alright.
Me:Ok, and that concludes the first chapter! And yes, the last part was kinda long, wanted to fill you guys in on some of the background plot. Also wanted to show how introverted Fawn was considering that she doesn't state these complaints out loud to her cousin.
Fawn:Umm, is that bad?
Me:Wait, shouldn't you watch over Carrie?
Fawn:She's sleeping, so I thought that I could check up on you.
Me:Awww, thk u *gives Fawn a hug*
Fawn:*smiles*
Me:*While hugging Fawn*Anyway, hope you guys like the twists coming up. Wait-spoiler! Oh well. Tell me what MBTI type you think Fawn is, I'm curious on your thoughts. Hope I did a good job, sorry if the summary seemed bad, not quite good in them. Also, don't forget to review! :)
Fawn: Please review. She can get a bit antsy as she can't read minds.
Me:Hey! I thought you were on my side?
Fawn:*gets a bit scared* What side? There's side?
