Alright, objective done for the night. Awesome.
silence overlapped the five of us, before I could speak.
"A…. A… Arvis. But. My friend calls me Spero."
She smiled again. "I can see way." She looked at the patch on the shoulder of my jacket. "I'm Rane." She set a hand on the fury boy's head, that's when I notice a chain he wore. "This is keever. And those two are Zekk and Cregan." I noticed the one she called Zekk was a little fidgety. He didn't like me. Rane stood, putting a hand around my arm to help me up. Keever looked up at her. My guess was that he was seven, and the twins had to be nine.
"I'm hungry." Keever told with pleading eyes.
Rane dug some credits out of her pocket smiling. "Alright. Zekk, Cregan. The three of you go get something to eat, and keep an eye out for Arvis's friend." I could see she was hiding something. The boys stayed in a small cluster as they walked into the crowd. Rane sighed, closing her eyes.
"That was all you had left, wasn't it?" I asked.
"Pretty damn close to it. But, I'd do anything for them." Rane's eyes met mine. "So, Arvis. Your friend's name is Zan?"
I took a surprised step back. "Yes. How did you know?"
"Shit." She muttered right as I figured it out.
"I won't tell." I say softly. Rane looks back at me with a kind smile, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you."
I nodded. Only a few moments later the three kids came back with what I believe to be May Fruit. I could still tell Zekk was uncomfortable and he tried to hide his irritation, but I kept my eyes mainly on the crowd. That's when I spotted black hair above the crowd, along with blue skin. Then he saw me.
"Zan… Zan"
"Spero!" Zan shouted above the roar of the crowd as he pushed his way out. He came to me at a little more than a jog and I ran to him.
"Zan!"
Zan held onto my shoulders. "Spero, are you alright?"
I nodded. "Yeah."
"Where the hell were you?" He asked.
"In the middle of the street having a panic attack. If I didn't pull him out of there he would have been trampled." Rane spoke up from behind me. Zan looked over my shoulder. He looked angry, but there was some type of gratitude. I knew he was surprised I was able to trust someone else, along with that, something else I couldn't tell what, shone in his eyes. Zab stood up, and took a step toward Rane.
"You don't have to thank me Blue. But. I will warn you, starting a fight with me isn't a good idea." Zan's posture had too many mixed emotions that I couldn't tell what, but Rane tensed up when she looked over his shoulder.
"Shit. Keever! Boy's!" Keever climbed onto her shoulder, and the twins took off running. Rane looked at us. "It might be in your best interest to come with us."
"Why?" Zan looked in the crowd, we both knew this was bad.
"Troopers. We have to go. Now!" Zan took a hold of my arm to get my attention, as we followed Rane through several alleys. Bolts flashed over my shoulder and hit the wall by me as I ran. Rane stopped, letting Kever down to run on his own. She returned fire of her own, before picking all of the troopers off by reflecting blots with her lightsaber. "Let's go!" Rane called, Keever got back onto her shoulders once more. We swiftly got to their ship before more showed up. Zan sat in the co-pilots seat, making Rane flinch, before focusing. Both of them flipped and pushed buttons. They weaved us through asteroids, dodging imperial shots. The moment the ship cleared the giant rocks, Rane pushed up a lever, sending it into hyperspace. Eventually she brought the ship out of hyperspace and leaned back.
"We haven't had a scare like that in a while." The boys next to me shook their heads, then Rane looked at Zan and I. "Your best option it is to stay with us. It may be a long time before you're put at the bottom of the empire's list. Apparently some guy named Han Solo is making his way up there. At least to Jaba The Hut anyway." Rane mentioned.
Zan nodded once. I thought that this was very kind of a Jedi in hiding. I already trusted Rane. And I feel as if someone will finally understand me. Like I could finally have a family.
A real family...
Alright. I got my laptop fixed, so I can get things typed a little faster, but I can't always upload sadly. I have so many more ideas for fanfictions, I'm kinda excited. Well, maybe tomorrow I can get back to the main story.
