Jyn and Cassian sat in the back of Baze's truck as it bounced against the unpaved road. "Sorry about the rough ride guys, the main road has been blocked off."
"That's okay, as long as we get home." Jyn dopely slurred resting her head against Cassian.
She watched the trees pass as they continued down the road. Even though Baze said they were going back home it felt like they were going somewhere else. Jyn turned to tell Cassian but before she could her vision faded to black.
Cassian played with Jyn's hair as she slept on his shoulder. He was surprised she could sleep through the pain and the bumpy ride but he guessed the pain killers had kicked in. The day had long ago turned to night, ever few seconds the truck would light up with the dull orange glow of the street lights they passed. Everything was quiet. The only sound was raindrops hitting the truck rhythmically. Cassian closed his eyes, he had been awake for too long. He was finally comfortable.
Jyn awoke to the trucks engine being cut. She sat up and looked out the window, this wasn't home. "Where are we?" She asked groggily.
"You'll know once you see it." Baze answered.
Jyn nudged Cassian awake. "I don't know where we are Cassian." She said he voice low and quiet.
"Cassian looked outside. There was a small cottage with a light on the front porch. It seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. 'Great.' Cassian thought. ' Now we're going to get murdered.' Cassian sighed. Baze opened the back door. "Come I promise you'll want to see what I have to show you." He said rain pouring on his coat.
"Do we have a choice? Jyn asked
"Not really." Baze shrugged.
Jyn got out of the truck followed by Cassian then by Baze. When they made it to the porch Jyn waited for Baze to open the door. Instead a man on the other side opened the door. His evere were glazed over whitish blue. He was blind.
"Come follow me."He said turning around and heading further into the house.
"My name is Chirrut. You may recognize me." Jyn cocked her head eyeing him up and down. He seemed familiar but she couldn't say for sure.
"I don't think I am who you think I am." Jyn bit her lip.
Chirrut smiled to himself and pulled a necklace with a white crystal at the bottom out of his pocket. "Jyn. Don't you remember this?" He said walking closer to her. "It's from your parents." He said placing it in her hand. "Welcome home sister." Baze said smiling at Chirrut.
Jyn couldn't breathe. everything was too much too many memories overlapping too much confusion. She bolted outside ignoring the pain screaming from her body. When she was sure she was alone she collapsed in to her knees. He body too much for her to handle. She regretted running as her injuries burned with immense pain. Warm tears streamed down her face. She wasn't sure if she was happy, sad or frustrated. The cold rain hit her skin sending a shudder through her body. It was a welcome one. Jyn had begun to feel overheated her body tense. The rain helped.
"Jyn, It's me Cassian." A hand grabbed her arm. "Are you okay?" He asked his voice wavering.
"I remember my dad." She mumbled choking back tears. "I remember my real dad." She said again this time letting her sobs break through. Cassian knelt down beside her and held her. "I miss him." She admitted. "I don't know whats going on anymore I'm so confused." She got angry now. "What the hell is going on? Why can't something be normal for once?" She yelled at the sky in frustration. Cassian didn't say anything he just waited for her to get everything out.
Moments passed Jyn had gone silent. "Are you okay?" Cassian asked.
"I honestly don't know." She said defeated.
"We should go back, you'll freeze to death out her, don't forget what the doctor said either." Cassian scolded. Jyn rolled her eyes. "Yeah yeah okay." She began to stand up but her knees wobbled making her collapse back onto the ground. Cassian sighed and picked Jyn up. He didn't say anything as they walked back to the cottage.
"Thank you." Jyn said nuzzling her head into Cassian.
He smiled at her warmly. "You're welcome."
