"I believe in annoyed at first sight." - Unknown

"No!"

A young woman catapulted up with loud screech. She wasn't the only one who awoke. A white Martin was also awoken by the screeching.

"Sorry Blitz," she apologized as she wiped off the sweat that was tickling down her forehead. She cleared her throat, "Retourne dormir, mon ami, c'était juste un rêve." (go back to sleep, my friend, it was just a dream.) If only that was true.

Blitz looked at her with he beady black eyes for moment, making sure she was truly alright. "Go to sleep, we got loads to work to do today."

The Martin stood up on his feet, and crossed his front paws, looking at her unconvinced. Crystal shrugged her shoulders, "Honestly I'm fine," she said trying to convince him, and also herself, "unless you prefer to get up, it's fine by me."

To be honest she didn't want to sleep anymore; not wanting the dream to consume her any longer; most of her nightmares were about that night. The night she lost her family. It was like a constant reminder of her failure.

Blitz nodded in reply. Her furry companion stretched his limbs then jumped to his mistress right shoulder as she climbed out of the small cot. Quickly grabbing her lightsabers from under her pillow clinging them to her belt, Crystal quickly but quietly made her way out of room and exited the building.

Morning had arose in the planet of Corellia. The town merchants dealers quietly set up there morning supply as sun rose from the east.

As Crystal casually made her way past the market, she saw a booth full of fresh Jogan fruits. It made her stomach growled. Work has been rough to find the last few rotations.

She glanced at Blitz, who looked like he was probably thinking the same thing. Crystal tilted her head and whispered instructions to her partner.

After carefully instructing the plan to Blitz, Crystal secretly slipped him down to the streets and quietly made her way around again.

"How much for the fruits Sir?" She asked innocently, but already knowing the price.

The lime green-skinned Rodian thought for a moment, "Five credits each."

Crystal huffed in her mind, but her face didn't change. Examining the over price fruit Crystal could see Blitz slightly peaking out of the dirty ground waiting for the signal.

She tsk'ed. Crystal opened her mouth to say how awfully high the price was, when all of a sudden she heard a woman's scream.

"EHH! HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME A BIG WHITE RAT IS ATTACKING ME! DELL GET IT OFF OF ME."

She chuckled to herself, Blitz was on top of a blue-skinned Twi'lek's face. The sales man stared in horror, then quickly ran to the woman's aid. Crystal smirked, the plan was working, but she needed to act before the Stormtroopers interfere.

Checking real quick if no one was watching, Crystal felt an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach like someone was spying on her, but she brushed it off there was no time to delay anymore she knew Blitz couldn't go on as long especially with an empty stomach. Shaking off the weird feeling, Crystal quickly stuffed as much fruit as she can in her bag.

As she was about to place another Jogan in, the owner shouted. "Thief!"

Crystal swore under her breath. That was her cue. Just as she was about to whistled Blitz back, four armed stormtroopers appeared. This should interesting she thought. Stuffing one last fruit, a laser blast shot barely missing her head.

Crystal whistled to Blitz, who was now on top the the women's head. Signaling him that it was time to go. The white Martin obeyed and jumped off but hissed viciously at the woman before caching up to his mistress. Crystal extended her hand so Blitz could jump on.

Crystal took out her K-16 Beyar Pistol out of the holster as she ran, and aiming it towards the troopers, blasting two of them in the chest in process. Two down two more to go.

"Come back here Mellark!"

Crystal laughed as she ran away from the market; her leather combat boots thumped heavily with every step she took as she ran across the streets of the town.

This was her life; living in the shadows, hopping to one planet to the next under different names, and let's not forget the the occasional run in with the Inquisitors those were always fun. She runs not because she wants to, but because that's all she knows and she could do.

After out running the stormtroopers for now Crystal stopped at an empty ally to catch her breath. That was a close one she thought as she breathed heavily. But there was still those two stormtroopers hunting her down. It's not over yet. She glanced over her right shoulder were Blitz was, giving him a faint smile.

"Nice job with the Twi'lek Partenaire," (Partner) She complimented him, "how about we celebrate are little victory before we leaving this oh so lovely place?"

Her furry companion let out a squeak in reply. "I thought so." Crystal mumbled settling back against the stone wall on her right, taking a seat in the cold filthy floor.

Crystal crossed her legs out of habit, placed Blitz to her right thigh and grabbed two Jogan fruit out her knapsack. She then passed one to Blitz, "Cheers." She murmured, then took a huge bite of the purple fruit. She didn't realized how hungry she was till she took the first bite.

Half way of eating her food, Crystal heard a crashing sound only a few feet away. She immediately rose up from the floor, with her blaster in hand. Picking up her bag and placing Blitz back on her shoulder, Crystal slowly walked towards were she heard the crashing sound. Nothing.

Must be my nerves acting up she thought as she put her pistol back into the holster. "Let's get going Blitz, the sooner we get out of here the better." Perhaps the next planet she takes refuge won't be as open and crowded. And less military officers, but then again the no where was safe.

Sneaking through the rickety alley, Crystal couldn't help but feel if some one was checking up on her again. And sure enough someone was.

"Well look what we have here," A rough scratchy voice said, creeping up on her, slamming her against the stone wall, "what a pretty thing like you doing here all by your self?" The stranger clutched her wrists tight so she wouldn't escape. Crystal winked her nose in disgust of the smell of alcohol in his breath. Typical Corellian.

She smirked,"Who's said I was alone." The drunken Corellian looked at her puzzled by her comment, before Blitz had jumped out his hiding spot to attacked him.

Blitz then jumped on him and tried to attacked, but the drunken Corellian took a step back and slapped Blitz, sending him to the ground unconscious. This made Crystal furious. As he chuckled with delight, she took the opportunity, and clenched her hand into a tight fist to punch him. Crystal swung her arm towards the man, but he quickly dodged the punch and slammed her back against the wall.

"Feisty little one aren't ya? Don't know how to give up?"

She squirmed, trying to release herself from his firm grip around her neck. Please don't make me do this Crystal thought as she struggled. As her last resort Crystal used the force to get one of her lightsabers, she ignited it, a long purple blade swiped the man's left forearm off releasing her from his firm grip.

He screamed in agony as his clutches were he's arm used to be. His knees buckled down and crumpled onto the cold ground.

Once Crystal regain her breath and balance, she deactivated the saber hooking it back to her belt, then kicked the Corellien ribs just for safekeeping before checking up Blitz. Crystal knelt down next to him.

While scanning for any signs of life, Crystal saw his nose slightly twitching. Thank the maker, you're still alive she thought. Crystal sighed in relief. Carefully but quickly Crystal picked up unconscious Blitz and cradled him with her arm, and grabbed her bag from the floor with the other arm.

"Come let's get out of here." Said Crystal, as she looked for an escape route.

Taking the back route of the ally, Crystal walked swiftly deeper into the ally. Turning the corner to where the exits was, Crystal heard an all to familiar voice behind her

"Hey! Who goes there?" Her eyes widened in shock and in fear. Blast she thought.

"Look it's that girl from this morning let's get her!" A Stormtrooper pointed out. It was a new set four or a least that how much she saw, she was to busy running to count.

Running for her life, Crystal sped as fast has she could across the ally, until she encountered a dead end. Dead end great she thought. The wall was to tall, even if she Force jumped there was no way she was going to make it before the Stormtroopers surrounded her; even if she did Force jumped there was no telling where she'll end up, she could end up crashing into a whole fleet of Stormtroopers for all she knew. Perhaps she could uses her lightsaber again, it would definitely do the job quickly. She thought for a quick moment. No she already drawn to much attention to herself already. "Hey you! Stop right there!" One Stormtrooper said.

How did I get into this mess she wondered. Crystal sighed. With her eyes closed, she slowly turned around with her hands in the air as a sign of surrender. But when she fully turned around, she heard the sound of blast shots ringing in ears.

Ducking for her life Crystal immediately took the opportunity take cover. Once the sound of shooting calm down, she peaked up from where she was hiding, with her pistol in hand. To her surprise all of the Stormtroopers were unconscious or dead.

"Are you alright?" Her savior asked with concern. He had dark brown hair and eyes, and a unshaven beard that even she had to admit it suited him, but what struck out the most to her was the insignia on his soft brow jacket.

A Rebel, just her luck.

Crystal only nodded, not knowing rather to be impressed or worry of the newcomer. "Good, now let's get out here before anymore come," he extended his hand to help her up. Crystal hesitated. Could she trust him? Should she make a run for it and pray that she wouldn't get captured? She was snapped out of her thought when she heard sounds of thumping foot steps coming this way, "come on, we don't have all day." She opened her mouth to say something, but the man tugged her up, and guided her by her out of the smelly ally before she could say a word.

Once they were in safe distance from the village, Crystal broke the awkward silence by blurted out, "You're with the rebellion.. aren't you?"

The man glanced at her and replied. "You'll soon find out."

She frowned, "I hate to burst your babble Mr?"

"Non of your business." He said coolly.

She hummed, "Lovely name," she looked up at the Rebel, "I want nothing to do with your little resolution thing."

"They mentioned you might say that." He muttered. Without a warning the rebel cuffed her wrists, and snatched all of her weapons.

"Hey those are mine!" She stretched her now cuffed hands, trying to reach her weapons; most specifically her lightsabers, but he ignored her and shoved her belongings inside his satchel.

Crystal groaned loudly, "You can at least explain why I'm being kidnap."

He scoffed "You're not being kidnap,"

"Oh."

"You're being arrested." He simply clarified with his odd accent.

"Well, isn't that's convenient." Crystal says sarcastically. She looked up once more at the so call rebel, What dose he think he is? Did her really spect a thank you? If she wasn't tired up and Blitz was conscience he'd definitely think twice taking her against her will.

"Cassian did you find her or- oh." A tall gray Imperial droid said as they arrived to the rebel's ship. "Not now Kay, just do what your supposed to do." Cassian said quietly to the droid before he entered the ship.

"What dose he mea-" Unfortunately for her she didn't get to finish; to her dismay the gray droid whacked her her in the head, sending her into darkness.
