Chapter 2
Zakk rushed to his window, which gave him a clear view of his front door: and the stormtroopers surrounding it, their white suit glowing in the moonlight. Zakk didn't even here Luke calling his name.
"Zakk? Zakk? Where are you? Are you there?" Luke asked. Zakk ran back to his computer.
"They're here!" was all Zakk could get out. Almost instantly the group in the back disappeared out the door, except Luke.
"Ok, remember. Dressed, pack, hide, no door. Got it?" Luke asked as he jumped up off the chair.
"Yeah, dressed, pack, hide, no door. Ok. Bye." Zakk whispered. He went to shut off the computer.
"Oh, and Zakk…May the Force be with you." Luke's final words rang in Zakk's head, as the computer shut off.
"You too, Luke." Whispered Zakk as he turned and grabbed the costume hanging in his closet, then quickly put it on. It was a little snug, but oh well. He shoved a few things into a small bag he got from doing the swim team this year, like his journal and a picture of his family as Luke had said, as well as his movie collection. He wasn't sure if they would help, but better get rid of them later if he didn't need them then wish he had them if he needed them. He heard the door bell ring again, and then heard his mother's bedroom door open.
His mother.
What would he do about her? He couldn't pop into the hall way and tell her everything and expect her to believe it. Especially not in these clothes. But he had to. He yanked open the door and ran to his sleepy headed mom.
"Mom, you can't open the door." Zakk exclaimed as he pulled her out of sight.
"What do you mean? Who is it?" Laura yawned. "Why are you wearing that costume?" she asked, just realizing what her son was wearing.
"I can't tell you, you wouldn't believe me. Come on we have to hide!" Zakk started to pull her back the hallway.
"Zakk what are you doing?" She asked alarmed as she broke free of his grasp. "Go back to bed, it's late. It's probably some sleepy night-shift person at the wrong house." She walked down the steps. Zakk got that weird feeling in his stomach again. He remembered Luke's words.
Dressed, packed, hide, no door.
He instinctively ran back to the guest room to the closet. He had made a secret passage there once, when he was little, nothing special, just a covered hole in the wall. But the troopers didn't know that. He climbed in to the small space and closed it up. It wasn't as big as he remembered, but it would work until Luke got here.
What if they don't come? What if they don't help me? What if I was just bait? What if they get hurt or worse on their way here? What if they can't find me?
These were just a few of the questions buzzing in Zakk's head. He listened as his mom opened the door.
"Hello?" She asked, still asleep. Zakk heard the troopers push her away and come into the house.
"What are you doing!?!? Get out of my house!" Laura screemed. They didn't listen. They continued looking for what they were searching for.
Me.
Zakk pulled himself up tighter. He couldn't let them find him. Luke had told him to hide, and that's what he was doing. Nothing would happen to his mom. Right? They couldn't hurt her. The troopers clomped to the same room; the living room, where Laura was.
"Where is Solalia?" Asked one of the troopers. Zakk cringed.
"Do you mean Zakk? I don't know. He ran off some where when you came in…who are you? What are you doing here?" Laura asked. Zakk couldn't hear the sleep in her voice anymore.
"No questions, only answers. Ma'am, you are dealing with matters of government, so I suggest you answer. Otherwise…". Zakk heard the familiar sound of a blaster.
This is too far. Sorry Luke.
Zakk silently slipped out of his cubbyhole and tried to creep down the hall, maybe to surprise them. But his foot kicked one of his shoes laying outside his bedroom, and all of the troopers turned and saw him. They all immediately ran back the hall, and Zakk ran into the closest room; his room. He ducked onto his bed, which was once a bunk bed, but the top bunk had been converted to extra storage.
"We suggest you come out of there right now, or be incinerated." Instructed one of the troopers. Their white suits glowed menacingly from the moonlight creeping in through his window. Zakk was lost.
What the hell do I do now?
Zakk had nothing to go on. Luke wouldn't have gotten himself in this situation. His own mind was frozen. He decided the best thing to do was to just do what they said. But then how would he get away with more troopers? He could run now.
I can try to run now…
Then a quote popped into his mind.
Do or do not. There is no try. Zakk would do. He would run and hope he didn't get caught.

Zakk jumped off the bed, not because he wanted to; he was going to chicken out. Zakk had jumped because just then, he heard blaterfire out in the living room. Zakk kept running, but forgot to take one thing into account; the troopers had blasters. Zakk quickly was reminded. He heard a loud, high pitched, scream almost, just before the shot tore through his right shoulder. The speed sent him flying back onto his bed, hitting his head on the wall. The searing pain in his arm made him dizzy, he couldn't see much. He saw blasters firing, and a green glowing thing Zakk assumed was Luke's lightsaber. He heard a lot of words, but his brain couldn't process them. Suddenly he realized that there was a big furry…thing…picking him up. It took him a moment to realize it was Chewie, who ran outside. Zakk knew there were other people, he could hear them, but he didn't know who all had come. His head was flopping around from the ride, and his eyes saw snapshots of his bloody arm. The full pain didn't hit him until he got a good look, and realized there was a straight hole clean through his arm. When it did, it was something he had never experienced. He completely blacked out.
I LOVE CLIFFHANGERS! AND I WILL MAKE THEM WORSE IF YOU DON'T R&R! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
This one is a little shorter than the first one…sorry…I need to watch a movie, but I cant do that at 1:00 in the morning, can I? Why do you think I made Zakk
1) His own room
