Chapter 1 - Kayla

10 years later

"Wake up, Kayla. The sun is almost up" a girls voice came near Kayla's bed and started to shake her, making Kayla's grunt. She hated being awake like this and so early in the morning.

"Alright I hear it. Stop shaking me" she said and sat on her bed, looking at her friend Krishna.

Krishna was a 17 years old girl, with a beautiful dark skin and long black hair. Like Kayla, she was also human and like Kayla she didn't have any parents eithers. When Kayla was brought to Kali, one of the owners of the few industrial plans farms, when she was 5 years old, Krishna was already there and the two girls became friends right away. For the past 10 years, the two girls, along with other workers, worked for Kali in one of is plants farms, and then took the plants they got to Kothal, to sell to local merchants. Kothal was a village near Kali's place, and many ships landed there for supplies and then leave the planet. Kayla used to see the ships come and go and dream with the day that she also would be leaving this planet and discover other places in the galaxy.

After getting up, get ready and eat a piece of bread and milk, they went to work. The sun was already up when they left's Kali's place, heading to one of the farms.

"You are very quite this morning. Are you alright?" Krishna asked her friend, after a good hour of silence from Kayla, which was unusual from her.

Kayla looked at her and nod.

"Yes, I am. Why you ask?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe because you didn't say a word since we started working" Krishna smiled at her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just thinking"

"About them?" She asked her. Kayla knew that "them" she was mentioned was the word Family. Since she was left there 10 years ago with only 5 years old, Kayla always hoped that some day they would come up to pick her up. But as time passed by that hope was feading away. Now with 15, she knew they would never coming back for her.

"More or less. When you wake me up I was having that dream again"

Krishna looked at her, she knew what she was talking about.

"Again?"

"Yes again"

For the past years Kayla dreamed the same thing and she didn't know why and what that dream meant: She dreamed she was playing by the ocean, in a great and beautiful beach, but she was not alone there was someone else with her, another girl, around her age. Then two adult voices called them and when she was about to look at them, the dreamed fade away. Was that an old memory or her deepest wish to leave the place she was in.

"Do you think that is a memory from your childhood?" her friend asked the question she also made to herself.

"I wish I know."

"Is so strange that you don't remember anything befoere you came here. Don't you remember your parents names or faces?"

Kayla shock her head. She didn't remember any of them, it was like something wipe her memory.

A noise of a ship leaving the planet made the two girls look at its direction.

"One day I will in one of those ships" Kayla told Krishna, making the 17 year old laughed at her.

"Don't fool yourself my friend. How you will be able to get into a ship like that?"

"Why not? You never know. I believe we can get out of here"

"We? What do you mean we?"

Kayla face her friend.

"You will come with me. You're my best friend, I will not lave you here"

Krishna shock her head and rolled her eyes.

"I think we need to get off that ship and return to work. We still have a lot to do"

Sighing they return to work but Kayla glare to the spot where they saw the ship taking off. She would not gave up.


After lunch time, it was time to get the plants they picked up and take them to Kothal, and sell them, so they would return to Kila with money, meaning they had a productive way. After Krishna and Kayla sell all of their plants, they had a good bag with shiny coins in it.

"Do you want to take a walk?" Kayla asked Krishna.

"Kayla, I think we better get back. We don't want to pissed Kila"

"Come on Krishna, is still early, we still have until sunset. It doesn't hurt to have fun. Please"

Krishna couldn't help to smile. Kayla always was able to make her agree with everything she wanted.

"Alright, but only for a few minutes"

"Great"

The two girls started to walked around the village. The place was filled with pilots that were buying supplies for their trips. Kayla really enjoy to see the different people and aliens, that were coming and going, and hearing their adventures, hoping some day she would be one of them too.

"Kayla we need to go" Krishna told her

"Just wait" Kayla said to her. She was paying attention to two pilots that were buying supplies. One was a human pilot, but the other looked like a tall bear or something. it didn't talk but somehow the man understood what it was saying. But what caught her attention was the name of the pilot. She didn't know she was dreaming, or misunderstood the name, but she was almost sure she heard the merchant called him Han Solo. She already heard that name before. Every time they went to the Kothal to sell the plants, she also heard the stories that many pilots and locals used to tell about the Empire and the Rebels and the Jedi and how they defeat the Empired and the Emperor and how Han Solo was one of the rebel Generals who help that to happen, but until know she always thought it was a myth and stories that people like to tell.

"Come on Chewie. If you want to get our cargo to its owner in time, we need to leave" Han Solo told to the big tall creature whos name was Chewie.

Kayla couldn't miss the oportunity.

"Excuse me" she called them. Krishna couldn't believe that she had the nerve to exchange a word to one of those pilots and smugglers.

"Kayla what the hell are you doing?" she asked to her friend, trying to stop her but it was to late.

"Excuse me" Kayla called him again

Han looked at the 15 years old who out of nowhere walked towards him.

"Yes"

"Did I hear correctly. That merchant called you Han Solo."

Han looked at Chewie. Where this girl came from.

"I mean are The Han Solo? Who fought with the Rebellion?" Kayla asked again

"Yes I am and who are you?"

"My name is Kayla and this is my friend Krishna." she told him introducing her friend who looked at Han with a "I'm so sorry" look.

"Hello and bye" he told to the two girls and was ready to walked away.

"I heard all kind of stories of you" Kayla told following them

"Good for you" Han told not very please with this conversation.

"Do you need any help, we can help" Kayla tried again.

Han stop and turned back facing the girls

"Look hum..."

"Kayla"

"Right. As you can see I'm busy and I don't have time to have a kids talk, so why don't you go do what you need to do and let me do what I need to do, okay?" he told her and pet her head like she was small kid before he left.

Kayla couldn't believe what she had heard.

"Kid? Did he called me a kid" she asked looking to Krishna.

"Kayla I think we better go, now" Krishna told her. The sun was almost down indicating that was time to go or they coul d be in trouble.

"You go I will catch you in a minute. I would show him who is he calling kid"

"Kayla no, Just leave it"

Kayla smile to her friend

"I'll catch you in a minute. Don't worry" and she went down the path Han and Chewie went down. She would not take long but she would show who is kid to them. She was no kid, she was 15 now and she went throught a lot.

Once she saw the ship she was amazed. It was the first time she saw ship so close. She got to see inside. It was only a small pick, it wont take long. and entering inside she gasped how huge and amazing it was. She always dreamed to be in a ship before. She didn't remember if she was inside one or not but... her thoughts made return to reality when she eard voices outside. Damn if someone caught her there she could be in trouble, but if she get out they would see. She had to hide. Once she hi herself she heard the voices getting closer. She didn't uncerstand what they were saying but after a while she felt the ship moving. Oh no she would do now. Staying in her hiding place, she didn't know how much time it passed, until all of her muscles started to hurt from being in the same position. She tried to move her leg and hit something. Great, she thought to herself. The compartment open and she looked up smiling.

"What are you doing here?"

Getting out from she stood up. Her body was sore. She didn't know how long she was in the same position.

"I'm sorry"

"Wait aren't you the girl from Kothal?"

"Yes"

Han couldn't believe it

"Great. Now I will be charge of kidnapping too" he shock his head.

The creature rawr which make Kayla scared since she didn't understood a thing.

"I don't think you will be charge of that" she told him.

"Oh really and why not? Your parents must be very worry by now"

"I doubt that. I don't have any parents" Kayla reply to him with a sigh.

Han looked at Chewie.

"Are they dead?"

"I don't know."

"Then what were you doing there?" he asked her again.

"I was left there when I was 5 and since that day I've being working for Kila in one of his farms alone with other people. By now he already saw I've being missing. If I return I would be in big trouble. Please. I can help you with anything you can, just don't bring back to that place"

Han and Chewie looked at each other again. Chewie rawr something to Han, something that Han didn't like very much but after a while he looked at Kayla

"Alright, maybe you can help but if you mess up, I don't care what say I will take you back, and don't expect any nice things okay"

"Thank you" she said and before he could avoid she hug him.

"First rule no hugs" he said to her

"Got it" she smile back.

Kayla couldn't believe she was now working for the Han Solo. She thought of her friend back in Kothal and hope she was alright and hope that some day they wil see each other again.

What she did know that her life was about the change from now on.
