Love Across the Stars- Chapter 1

Beginning

Satine

"Why do the jedi have to protect me now, Jamie?"

Satine Kryze glared at her older brother in irritation. What right did he have to decide her fate? She had survived the war so far, hadn't she? She had no need of protection now!

Jamie didn't see it that way. "Satine, you are in danger here. Without you alive, the rebellion will take away the last of our people's hope."

She knew he was right. She hated it, but she knew well what he meant.

"I know. But why the jedi? They have been our enemies for so long-"

"Our parents' enemies, Satine."

"And ours as well, simply because we are Mandalorian. You can't undo thousands of years of hatred with one generation, brother."

"The Republic has sent them. They are not here of their own accord. Otherwise, I would be just as suspicious as you."

"The Republic hated our mother. They knew what she was and what she has done. Why would they want to help me, the daughter she groomed to take her place?"

Jamie thought about this for a moment. "The dark lord and his associates want you dead, and as a result, it is obvious to them you are unlike our mother."

"That may be true, but-"

"Enough, sister. You are being protected and that is final!"

"Fine! But don't say I didn't warn you. If they're not diligent, I'll end up like Cerani!"

The instant those words left her mouth, she regretted them. Cerani was Jamie's first wife. She had been slaughtered by the rebel hordes three years ago. She had been carrying Jamie's daughter, who was never to be born. He had remarried, and his wife, Leah, was expecting a son. He had moved on, but the mention of Cerani's name still caused him pain.

"Jamie, I-"

"Enough. I pray that the jedi assigned to protect you can handle your quick temper, sister." He left. She longed to chase him, beg his forgiveness, but the damage was done. She fled to Galileia's chambers, fighting back the tears that threatened to fall from her silver blue eyes.

Galileia was alone in her chambers, brushing her long, silky hair. She looked up to find her youngest sibling in her usual distraught state.

"What troubles you now, Little Moon?"

Galileia had been calling Satine Little Moon for the majority of her fifteen years. It was a familiar, comforting name that she feared she would never grow out of.

"I told Jamie that if he wasn't careful, I'd end up like Cerani."

Her sister clucked her tongue. "You need to watch what you say, Little Moon. Someday you will definitely say something you regret more than anything."

"I can't help it!"

"You must try harder then. We are Mandalorian. There is nothing we can't do."

"You sound like a holovision commercial."

She laughed. "You would think so, wouldn't you? Now run along, Little Moon. I have a date with Johnny tonight, and I look a mess."

"You look fine."

"Go, little sister. You must prepare for the Jetti's arrival."

"I wish they weren't coming here."

"You and me both. But they are, and we must prepare ourselves. Now, run along."

How was it? It's been a long time since I picked up the ol' keyboard ;) Review!
