Thanks for the reviews everyone! Hope you all had a great Easter, or if you don't celebrate, a great weekend! 3 3
They were leading us somewhere, and as they were leading us to that somewhere, they had us surrounded and made us keep our hands up. My arms were hurting from keeping them up there for so long.
"We're in trouble." I heard Ayden mutter from beside me.
"Yup." I answered, popping the p.
Then I got jabbed in the back with the end of a blaster, "No talking!" that person snarled at me.
I poked my tongue at him but continued to walk. I had to figure a way out of this and get back to the ship, where hopefully Lyrisa was since I couldn't see her anywhere here. And Aasa.
Aasa!
If he was the one who led these people to us, I was not going to a happy inter-dimensional girl. We trusted him and he betrayed us? I scowled as I thought about it. If he did...
I shook my head, clearing away my thoughts. I'll deal with Aasa later, now I gotta focus on getting out of here.
I looked over at Ayden, he was already looking at me and then he looked over to his left and then back at me before looking back to his left. I looked to where he was looking and saw that there was some kind of building there with a big balcony. I looked at my brother again and slightly nodded my head, to show that I understood.
He curled his thumb and pinky down, leaving up 3 fingers. Then he put one down, leaving two. Then another one, leaving one finger up. Then he put that finger down, leaving a fist.
Then we both took off running.
Our feet hit the metal walkway, earning loud exclamations from the men that were around us. I pushed my hands out on both sides, pushing the men that were coming close to us away.
Ayden had reached the edge of the walkway we were on and leaped off of the edge, practically flying through the air before he landed on the balcony on the other side with a stumble.
I started running to the edge, I could hear the other men following me. I didn't bother to look back at them since I could already sense them there. I felt my foot hit the edge of the walkway, then I jumped.
I heard blaster bolts shoot past me and I pretty much felt them too, they were that close. I landed with a roll on the balcony and then quickly jumping up. I looked at Ayden who was at a door on the balcony trying to open it.
The solders were still shooting at us, "So much for wanting us alive." I muttered as a blaster both whizzed just past my head.
I looked back at Ayden, still not having the door open. He looked back at me, sensing that I was looking at him.
"You know those blasters we threw away from those guys in the shop?" he asked indicating his head towards them, "They would be uber handy right now."
"Shoulda, coulda, woulda, didn't." I said quoting our Dad to him with a light smile, making him roll his eyes.
Then I felt myself be pushed backwards, landing on the ground with a metallic thug.
"Owwww." I said, looking up at Ayden who had ducked down.
"These guys may not be the best shots ever, but we really should not be standing in the open." he said to me in a breath, "And that door is locked tight."
I looked around from my low position on the ground. There was another building just close by. Wouldn't be a real huge jump to get there. Then maybe we could drop down onto a walkway and get lost in a crowd of people.
I quickly told Ayden my plan in motion and he nodded his head, "Yeah, but we gotta get our stuff from that shop."
I nodded my head, "Lets just work that out after we get away from those trigger happy loonatics." I suggested, slowly standing up again.
Ayden also stood up and ran to the edge of the building. I followed him and we both jumped at the same time. We landed softly on the other building and continued to run along the flat roof of that building.
When we got to the edge, I looked down. There was a walkway down there with various people walking through. I looked at AYden and nodded my head. I took in a breath of air, remembering what I said to Dustil once.
"No, I'm afraid of falling to my doom. I'm actually a fan of heights."
And that still applied. I liked being up high, but the idea of jumping down there kinda unsettled me. I mean, I knew we'd probably be OK with Jedi training and all but the 'spat' image in my mind... that was not helping.
"Look, it's either risking going splat down there or getting shot and dragged to a sithy planet and meeting a sithy bloke and his sithy friends called Lightsaber and Lightning." Ayden said to me.
I glared at him, "I know that." I snapped at him.
"Then jump!"
"Fine!"
And with that, I jumped off the edge of the building.
She was lost. She was fairly certain of that. She had no clue on how to get back to the ship. The space ship.
Lyrisa sighed as she rubbed her arm. She was stuck on some weird alien planet and the two people that she knew who knew what was going on were not with her. And she couldn't find that stupid space ship!
"Perfect." she muttered to herself, looking down at the ground.
"What's perfect, hon?" A voice said, making Lyrisa look up in surprise.
There was a woman in front of her with short cropped purple hair. She looked at Lyrisa somewhat kindly.
"Um..." Lyrisa started to say, "I'm kinda lost."
The woman smiled and looked at their surroundings before looking back at Lyrisa, "I'd say so. Not many people come here by choice."
Lyrisa looked around them before looking back at the woman, "What's your name?"
"Ala."
"Ok..." Lyrisa trailed off, hesitant to say anything else.
"You want directions getting back to your ship?" Ala asked Lyrisa.
Lyrisa nodded her head, "I would appreciate it." she said with a hesitant smile.
Ala gave a big smile in return, "Well, for starters, you're heading in the wrong direction. Your ship landed back that way." she said pointing in a direction behind Lyrisa, "Take the first left that you got and then continue straight. Then you should take another left near a building with red stars painted on it. Your ship should be straight down there."
"Thanks." Lyrisa replied to Ala as she turned around to follow the womans' directions.
"Oh, and..." Ala said, making Lyrisa turn to look over at her, "I like your shoes."
"Thanks." Lyrisa said, a smile on her face before she continued on her way to the ship.
Don't forget to review! Thanks for reading everyone!
