"Nicki! Get down!".

Zeb shouted as the Inquisitor's blade came flying at her. She ducked, the blade just inches above. She darted from her cover and ignited her silver blade. "No! Damn it, stop!", Ezra warned, but it came too late as Nicki leaped into the air, ready to bring her blade crashing down on the Inquisitor. But he dodged, her blade penetrating the factory's flooring. Samuel ran to Nicki with all of his might. The Inquisitor had his Lightsaber back, and in a swift movement, he stabbed Samuel through the chest.

Nicki shot up, letting out a fearful cry. She was in her cabin, her covers almost falling off. "Easy, easy!", a familiar voice spoke to her. She could barely see Zeb. She was breathing heavily in panic. It died down and she breathed slowly. "I'm alright, Zeb.", she reassured him. She swore she saw something move behind him. "I just... had a bad dream.". Zeb sighed, "You've been different since that mission, Nicki.".

Nicko remembered the mission to Earth. They were tasked with saving a rebel, which had been none other than her closest friend, Samuel. But the mission had gone wrong, and he was killed by the Inquisitor when he took a blow meant for her. She shook her head. "I-it's nothing. I'm fine.", she told him, then pulled the covers back over. She heard Zeb sigh and walk out the door. It closed, leaving her in complete darkness. If only I had listened. She repeated over and over to herself.
