I felt like I was floating. I could see the earth beneath me. It slowly rotated and stared back at me. There was a gentle breeze that brushed my skin. I had never felt a sensation like this before. It was a mixture of butterflies and a calm warming feeling that enveloped me. It was nice.
I never thought I could feel this great. I never wanted to leave. That all changed when I heard an unfamiliar voice "keep the balance" the female voice whispered but still echoed in the back of my mind. Then I felt something. Something that burrowed and clawed its way into the forefront of my mind pushing the female voice away.
"Well this is nice." A raspy male voice said as he began to laugh evilly. "We sir, well let me say that you and I are going to have loads of fun." He said in a sly tone.
A smile appeared. A smile that would send shivers down anyone's spine. He said one last thing before disappearing into the recess of my mind. "Bye, Bye James.
I began to feel myself fall. The calm warming sensation was replaced by the cold unmistakable feeling of fear.
My heart began to race as I fell. The butterflies that were once in my stomach was replaced by my stomach trying to escape through my mouth. The earth grew closer and closer. Every second I grew closer to being as flat as a piece of paper. I'm going to die I thought. I was almost to the ground so I flailed my arms in one last useless attempt to save myself. I hit the ground.
I sprang up gasping for air. My heart felt like it was going to explode and I dripping with sweat from every pore.
"Are you alright?" a concerned female voice asked.
I flicked my head towards the sound of her voice. I stared at her like I knew her but I never met this young women. She stared back at me, slight worry in her soft hazel eyes. She had creamy white skin and pink lips. Her hair was a sand colored brown that gently laid upon her shoulders. She was one of the prettiest girls that I had ever seen.
"Who are you?" I asked.
She looked at me confused "What you don't remember?"
I shook my head. I had no memory of her.
She sighed and then smiled "I'm Alice Nevarr and I'm a scout for the republic."
"The republic?" I questioned.
"Wow, you must've hit your head harder than we expected." Alice paused but then continued "but yes the republic. We are the good guys in this unforgiving war."
That's when the door opened and a man walked in.
"I see you're finally awake. Are you alright?" he asked
I gave him a nod.
"Good" he said "Carth Onasi" he said introducing himself "you gave us a scare. You have been tossing and turning for the entire week that we had been crashed on Taris."
"Taris!?" I exclaimed. I now knew why everything was familiar yet so unfamiliar. I was in a video game.
"Yeah, Taris" Carth confirmed "are you sure you're okay, kid?"
I ignored his question and jumped out of the bed I was in but nearly collapsed as I felt a searing pain in my side.
"Wow, take it easy. I forgot to mention you broke a few ribs."
I looked down and noticed my side was wrapped in a bandage.
"How did this happen?" I asked
"Well you kind of saved me."
"By accident." Carth interjected
"Accident?"
"You didn't have the intentions of saving me you just fell out of a vent and landed on a sith trooper that was about to throw a grenade at me. The trooper took most of the damage but it still hit you causing you to fly and hit a wall."
"So that's why it feels like I was hit by a land speeder."
Alice chuckled but Carth stayed serious. He just stared at me with distrust in his eyes.
"I have no clue who you are or how you survived the destruction of the Endar Spire but I do know we need all the able bodies that we can get. So are you going to help us kid."
"I do have a name and it's James plus it seems like I don't even have a choice in the matter anyways, do I?"
Carth huffed and laid on his bunk "Good but don't think I'm not going to watch you so no funny business."
Alice smiled weakly "Thanks James. We really do need the help trying to save Bastila. She really is our only hope at this point to save the republic."
No she isn't I thought to myself but only nodded to Alice.
"Well you better get some rest we have a big day tomorrow"
"Yeah" I said uneasy. I wasn't even sure if I was combat trained.
