CHAPTER ELEVEN:


~Valora Zatoq's POV

"Wake up, Mama! Wake up, Daddy!"

I awoke to a small child, shaking me awake. I laughed, sat up, and ruffled his hair.

"Good morning!" I replied brightly.

"Good morning, Mama! Can you or Daddy make up breakfast?" the kid asked.

A muffled voice next to me replied, "Mama can make the breakfast today. Daddy wants to sleep."

I laughed and whacked him with a pillow. "Well, Mama says wake up or Daddy is going to regret it."

The man groaned and sat up. He smiled at me and kissed my cheek.

"Good morning, Valora."

"Good morning!"

"Food?" the kid asked again.

I nodded and got out of bed, following the kid.

"FOR THE LOVE OF THE FORCE, WAKE UP VALORA!"

"OW HEY, I'M AWAKE STOP, MIA!"

I hissed as I held my hand to my stinging cheek. Mia had slapped me right after I had pulled out of another vision. She apparently couldn't tell that I was awake.

"Would you not hit me next time?"

"Would you not fade out next time?"

If I had eyes they would be rolling. I stood up and noticed a frowning red-skinned male Twi'lek standing next to her.

"Who's your friend, Mia?" I asked.

"I'm Ranger," the male Twi'lek replied, not even waiting for Mia to answer.

"Well, I trust that Mia has already told you her name and mine. What are you doing here then, Ranger?"

"He's been here for six months, Valora. He knows the island better than anyone and how to hide," Mia answered.

Ranger nodded, confirming what Mia said.

"We need to move. There is a better hiding spot at the other end of the island. We should go there," Ranger said.

I nodded and stood up.

"You alright, Mia? You weren't looking so good the other day."

"I'm fine, Valora."

I could tell she wasn't though. I could feel Mia getting weaker in the Force. If she didn't get off planet soon…

Ranger took off running and Mia and I followed. Hopefully this Ranger guy knows what he's doing. Or we are all going to be toast.

"So, where are you from, Ranger?" Mia asked as we all sat around a small campfire in a good hiding place.

"I was a bounty hunter. I got picked up on my way to Tatooine from Coruscant about a month ago. Been here ever since and they still haven't found me," Ranger replied with a smirk.

"Do you think there is a way to escape here?" I asked, fearing the answer.

Ranger got quiet. He sighed.

"I don't know, Zatoq. If there was a way off this planet I think I would have found it by now. I think the only way is to get rescued," he replied.

I nodded in understanding then said, "Well, I'm going to get some sleep. Good night."

Mia and Ranger muttered wishes of good sleep and I walked a bit of ways away from the fire and lied down.

As I lied there, I thought about what Ranger said. He was right. I then got an idea. I reached out in the Force as best I could to Cody, trying as hard as I could to Force call him, even though he wasn't a Jedi. I thought of the moon we were stranded on and our kidnappers. Come on, Cody. Please hear me. Come save us. Please.
