Anakin Skywalker's POV
"I think I broke my butt cheek." I groaned.
Jane burst out a laugh, helping me get up. "I'm sure it's fine."
Ben smiled but frowned soon after. "Well, what now?" he asked, he roamed around, glaring at the pitch black tube that surrounded us.
I ignited my lightsaber, the mushy brown water rolling against our legs. Jane, Ben, and Kerra also did the same. However, Kerra's crimson weapon stood out from the rest of ours.
We all turned to glare at her.
"What?" she whispered, frowning. "I got it as a birthday gift."
I rolled my eyes and led the way through the tunnel.
During an hour or so of walking aimlessly through the dark sewer, an explosion caught our attention. Ben examined ahead and came back with Jane tagging along behind him.
"It must be some -" Jane began until she was snatched away into the darkness.
"Jane!" I cried out. "Jane!"
Ben lunged forward to a sprint, but I locked his arms behind his back. He continued to thrash around in my arms, sobbing out Jane's name.
"Jane, no!" he wailed, tears dripping down his cheeks. "Jane!"
I shoved him away from where Jane was sucked into, her screams were heard. The sound of bones being crushed echoed throughout the sewer.
Ben continued to sob, trembling as his ears caught Jane's cries for help and pain.
"Ben, we have to -"
"I will not leave her here to die -" he growled, staring at me in hate and anger. His eyes were swollen, filled with tears. His face turned completely blank once the shouts of agony stopped.
His skin (just like the rest of us) was covered in mud and tears.
My eyebrows knitted to form a frown. I looked at Ben again and hissed, "Do you think I want that? I lost your grandmother for six years and I almost lost Jane's mother... We have to get out of here if you don't want to be next."
He chuckled with no trace of humor whatsoever. "See if I care."
"Ben, please... Come on." Kerra pleaded, touching his arm.
Ben hesitated before jerking away from her touch. His blue eyes scorching with agony. He began to walk ahead of us, grumbling.
"Grandfather, do you know if -?" Kerra whispered, keeping her eyes locked on the dirty water.
I shook my head. "My premonitions change... My premonitions can always change. It depends in the person's decision." I shrugged, thinking. "But that may be just me..."
"Oh." she fidgeted her fingers, turning her head away from me. After a few seconds of pure silence, she finally said, "Am I next?" she asked, shrugging as her eyes met mine again.
My eyes dropped. Kerra was next... I think. The dream was fuzzy to me now. "I actually don't know..." I trailed off as the premonition clearly shot back to me.
Jane's already dead... She was thrown out of her seat. Her head was chopped off by a broken pipe that impaled her directly to her forehead. Her small body shattered, the sound of her bones breaking was heard once she contacted with the ground. Ben's cries of sorrow and fear caught my attention. His jacket's sleeve was caught on a hook of the safety harness. Soon after, his safety harness suddenly lifted up, making Ben clung on tightly. Before he could recover, another roller coaster passed by. His arm tore off from his body and the collision made his head turn completely backwards.
Kerra was watching all of it happen. She was crying her eyes out as she just witnessed her relatives' deaths. Without any warning, two passengers in front of her were suddenly in trouble. The Human male was trying to help a Togruta female, whose rear lekku was caught in something. With that, Kerra was also thrown off her seat when the coaster was in the middle of a loop.
I gasped, blinking once.
"Grandfather?" Kerra's worried voice brought me back.
I stared at her for a second and I breathed, "Two people die before Ben."
Kerra nodded, "That's good... At least."
After a couple of minutes of walking, Ben climbed the moist ladder, Kerra and I followed quickly behind. He peeked through the small opening of the lid of the sewer before lifting it up.
"The ship's just a couple of meters away." he announced, before looking down at us, nodding.
We did the same until Ben raced towards the ship with Kerra and I right at his heels. They slaughtered the guards that guarded the outside before I went inside to kill the pilots.
"We're clear." I called out.
Kerra climbed on and stopped once we noticed that Ben was still outside.
"Ben, what the 'h' are you doing?" she hissed, frowning.
"What if I'm next, Kerra?" he asked. "I can't risk putting you two in danger."
"Don't be stupid, Ben." she whispered.
She looked too weak to get mad at. He tried to smile instead. "You say that like it's possible."
Kerra tried not to smile back for a second, but she couldn't help it in the end; her chalky lips pulled up at the corners.
Ben got inside and noticed something was wrong with her. He helped her by carrying her to the medical bed, examining her.
"I think she has hypothermia, Ben." I said, injecting the IV into her arm.
"I'll be back." Ben raced to another room to search for medicine.
Kerra's face looked exactly like Ahsoka's when Snips was pregnant with Shmi.
I was angry, I was in pain during Ahsoka's first pregnancy but that day - I was in beyond agony. As I saw my younger-self, my eyes were half-crazed. My expression was like if someone had lit me on fire. My hands were rigid claws at my sides.
Ahsoka was half-hidden behind the arm of the sofa, curled up into a loose fetal position, her arms wrapped around her knees.
There were deep circles under her eyes, dark circles that jumped out because her face was all haggard. She was thinner... Her skin was tight. There was something about her fingers and wrists that looked so fragile it was scary.
I shivered before Ben came back with a white plastic cup in his hand - the kind with a lid and a bendy straw.
Ben hesitated, the hand with the cup half-extended. Kerra eyed it, cringing.
"We could try something else." I said quietly. I wandered around until I ended up in the pilot's seat.
"No," Kerra whispered. "No, I'll try this first. We don't have time..."
Kerra reached out and took the cup from him. Her hand shook a little, and I could hear the sloshing from the inside. She tried to prop herself up on one elbow, but she could barely lift her head. With a deep sigh, Kerra lifted the cup up to her face and sniffed at the end of the straw. She flinched, and then made a face.
"Kerra, we can find an easier way." Ben said, holding his hand out for the cup.
"Plug your nose, Kerra." I called back. "It will make you forget what you're going to drink."
"No, that's not it. It's just that -" Kerra sucked in a deep breath. "It smells good," she admitted in a tiny voice.
I swallowed hard, fighting to stay in my seat.
"That's good... Isn't it?" Ben's voice had a tint of relief.
Kerra shoved the straw between her lips, squeezed her eyes shut, and wrinkled her nose. I could hear the medicine slopping around in the cup again as her hand shook. She sipped at it for a few seconds, and then she groaned in disgust.
"Kerra, -" Ben began.
"I'm okay," she breathed. "It tastes good..."
I arched an eyebrow.
A couple minutes later, we decided to eat at a diner in the middle of nowhere.
"How do you feel? How's your stomach?" I asked. "Do you feel nauseated?"
Kerra shook her head. "No, I don't feel sick or anything." she whispered.
My lips twitched, fighting a smile.
Hours later...I let R2 take over, so I could sleep for awhile.
Ahsoka appeared a few feet in front of me as I closed my eyes to rest. She smiled warmly as we embraced each other. I pressed my hand to her cheek, curling my fingers around the shape of her bones.
"Hello, Beautiful." I smiled
Ahsoka Skywalker's POV
I giggled quietly and held his flesh hand. "Hello, Handsome."
He kissed my forehead before he asked, "How are you?"
I took a deep breath, sighing. "I'm fine... You?"
"I'm all right, love." he admitted. However, the sound of his voice was off... It sounded sorrowful.
"Ani...?" I whispered, locking my eyes onto his.
His breath began to tremble, avoiding my eyes. "Jane..."
"What happened, Anakin?" I demanded.
"I've lost Jane, sweetheart." his voice sounded as if he didn't want to believe that she was actually gone.
I hugged him, reassuring him that it wasn't his fault. He nuzzled his face against my neck, sobbing quietly. I rubbed his back, leaning my head against his shoulder.
He pulled back and whispered, "Ben's heartbroken..."
I lifted up my hand to let my fingers carefully wipe away his tears. "I'm sure he his... He always told me that Jane was like a sister to him instead of a cousin."
He smiled slightly, closing his eyes as I continued to wipe his tears away.
"Who's next?" I asked.
Anakin's eyes snapped open.
