"And Where, Where Are You Going"
showmehowtolie: Don't worry, I don't plan on canceling this story, I love it too much! I've just been having writer's block for a while. I'm so glad you like it though! Disclaimer: I don't own Rebels, I only own my OCs. ~:~ Jet's P.O.V
Oh My Gosh I can't believe we just did that. We've broken the most important rule of all, the one rule that you must follow. We just went past the wall. "Oh gosh! I can't believe we just did that!" I yelped staring at the stone wall.
"Well, wasn't it your idea anyway?" Nova questioned placing her hands on her hips, "Because I remember you saying something like, 'Hey guys! I have a GREAT idea! Let's go out into the woods with NO protection WHATSOEVER!'" She spoke in a mocking way.
"Well, you shouldn't have listened to me!" I snapped, "Oh my gosh, what if someone saw us? What if they told Gaina? What if they told Faerie and Leo? Or worse… what if everyone knows?! Gaina will be so worried, she might come after us, and she'll get hurt again by that thing! What if it kills her?! What if we die?!" I grabbed Galax's shoulders and started shaking him. Suddenly the kid slapped me and replied, "For goodness sake calm down Jet! You're worse than Gaina!" He shoved me back.
"Right, right, sorry," I calmed down a bit, "Just, I don't want anyone to get hurt or panic over us, especially Gaina, she's not exactly… stable at the moment."
"We can worry about this later Jet," Nova said, "Right now we should focus on finding Ezra and getting out of this place as soon as possible…" we looked on into the woods, "Who knows what could be in there."
I nodded and trailed after the twins, I still can't believe I thought this was a good idea, I just hope we don't die, or get stuck in these woods forever.
And I hope we can leave soon, these bugs are literally the most annoying things on this planet, and I have this strange feeling we're being watched, but I'm probably just paranoid again.
~:~
How long have we been out here anyway? It feels like ages ago. I'm getting tired, and really hungry, the feeling of being watched hasn't left either.
We've stopped by a river and noticed a bridge over it, that's odd, Faerie told us no human has ever been in here before, so why is there a bridge? It doesn't look old either.
Nova and Galax are splashing each other with the water, I roll my eyes, we shouldn't be wasting our time playing around we need to find Ez-
SPLASH!
"Heh… oops, sorry Jet."
Did they just-?
Oh it's on.
I grinned and cupped my hands together to fill them up with water and I chucked it at their faces, they squeal in surprise.
"It's on!" Nova grinned and kicked her feet causing some water to fly at me.
Soon, it turned into a full out splash war, I had forgotten why we we're there for a while when I heard an odd sound.
Galax stopped too, "Did you hear that?"
"Yeah, what was that?" The twin asked.
I stood up and began walking to the location of the noise, I beckoned for the twins to follow, and we restarted on our quest.
Walking deeper into the forest the sound had gotten louder, it was no longer a whistling noise but more like a rapid clicking.
Chi chi chi chi chi chi.
"Be prepared for anything," I warned, they nodded in agreement as they both picked up a stick.
Chi chi chi chi chi chi.
Getting louder.
CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI.
Maybe this was a bad idea.
CHICHICHICHICHI.
Suddenly out of the earth came a long vine grabbed my foot, "AAAAAAHH!" It carried me up into the air as I dangled from it by my ankle, "GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!"
Galax started to stab the plant-thing with his stick and kicked at it as Nova clawed and bit ferociously at it with her nails and teeth.
I felt something sharp dig into my skin, I looked up to see the thing had grown thorns and now my ankle was bleeding, great! Just great!
"Fight back Jet!"
"Rip it to pieces!"
"Show no mercy!"
I reach up and grab onto a part of the vine with no thorn and clawed at it like crazy, the pain in my foot was getting worse, this wasn't helping, I was going to die! I growl and latched my nails deep into the vine and try to rip it apart, the thing twitched and the pressure on my ankle loosened, I think I'm getting somewhere. But just when things start going my way the vine decides to tighten its grip even harder, I just made things even worse. "AAAAAAGH!"
"Don't touch me!"
"Ew! Get away! You're gross and slimy and icky and ew!"*
I look down to see the twins attempting to block off the vines from snatching them, if they're caught we have no chance of survival, and we'll die. But I'm not going to lose another one. Not now, not ever, never again.
"Nova! Galax! Run!"
The girl looked at me like I was crazy, "Are you insane! You'll die! I'm not leaving!"
"Neither am I!"
I growl, "If you stay we'll ALL be dead and our mission will be for nothing! Go find Ezra and leave!"
Galax narrowed his eyes, "Jet, we can't leave-"
"It's not an option! GO!"
Nova looked as if she would cry, "Jet…"
"This is an order! GO! NOW!"
"I said-" Galax was cut off by Nova grabbing her twin's arm and kicking away a vine before taking off, "Nova! What are you doing?!"
"We'll come back for you Jet! I promise! Don't die on us!"
She ran faster and then was out of sight.
I continued to try and fight back but my attempts were useless, I was started to get tired, I felt weak, I can hardly feel my leg, I can't move.
I'm so tired.
The last thing I saw was a flurry of green and other colors fling themselves at the plant, fighting it and ripping it apart, and so many voices. I can hardly keep awake.
I can't stay awake.
Hera's P.O.V
"Gaina please calm down…" I tried to console the worried woman, but she kept pacing back and forth and mumbling to herself in a foreign language. She seemed to be doing this a lot lately.
"Calm?! You want me to calm down?! I'm perfectly calm!" She shouted while slamming her fist on the wooden cabinet, practically smashing it in half, "Ow! That hurt! That was very idiotic of me!"
That was probably not the best thing to say… "Don't stress yourself out, I'm sure they'll be okay. Jet is with them."
"That's what I'm worried about! Jet can't handle being alone! He's going to literally get himself killed!"
"At least the twins are with him, and as long as he has company they'll be-"
Suddenly said kids came barging through the door, with tears in their clothes and cuts on their arms and faces, their face was pale and frightened, like they had seen a ghost. And Jet wasn't with them.
"Fine… where's Jet?"
Nova stuttered and stumbled around with her words, taking huge gasps of breaths before collapsing to her knees and sobbing like crazy, "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry…"
Galax then pointed out the door to the distant wall, "Jet… forest… vine monster… he's… he's…"
"He's what?" I asked kneeling down to Galax's height while Gaina started to hyperventilate begin me.
"I… we… it got him… and… I don't know…"
Suddenly I heard a thud and turned around to see Gaina had fainted on the floor, this was really bad. "Okay Galax, thank you, are you and your sister alright?"
"Who's cares if we're alright? We need to get back to Jet NOW! He'll die without us!"
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry," Nova was still sobbing on the floor and Gaina is currently unconscious, either we help them and go out to look for Jet or we leave to go look for him now.
I thought it over and looked the boy straight it the eye, "Galax, we can't go now, we're not prepared for whatever the thing is, we can't risk losing anyone else. Gaina and your sister need us right now."
"But… we can't just… we can't just leave him!"
I don't like leaving people behind especially since last time we almost lost Kanan to the Empire, but we don't have any other choice, "I know how you feel kid, but the best thing we can do now is-"
Suddenly the kid shoved me back and flared up at me with anger and grief, "You don't know anything! I lost most of my family and I'm not going to lose any more! Jet is like my brother! And Nova and I made a promise to his sister that we'd watch out for him! I will NOT fail her again!"
I sighed and placed my hand on his shoulders, "Listen to me, I know Jet matters a lot to you, and I understand why you'd want to go after him, but remember that Ezra, my crew-mate, one of my family, is out there. And we don't know how to get him back or… even if he's alive anymore, but we can't just all go out there blindly and fight it. If this… thing took both Ezra and Jet, then who knows what may happen to us if we try to fight it."
Galax looked down and sniffed, "I just… he almost died a while ago and his sister went missing. I just… I can't lose anyone else… I don't want to."
I pulled him into a hug and rubbed my hand up and down his back to comfort him, so much has happened while we've been here, crashing our ship, losing Ezra, almost losing Gaina, and now Jet… all I wish for now is to get them back, even if we can't escape this planet, I just want him back. He's like… a son to me. "I know Galax…" I felt him shaking and crying on my shoulder, "I know…"
We will get them back.
Even if we can never go home again.
