Kayla knelt in front of the grave of her best friend. Tears roll down her check. She miss her best friend. She knew she had something funny to say that would make her laugh. She was always so positive. Now she felt lost and alone.
She didn't go to her funeral two days ago. She didn't want to see some people, even she watched from afar. She felt guilty that she didn't say anything to her parents, who were always so nice to her. The Dax, who lost their daughter because of who she was.
"I'm sorry" she said crying deeply. "I need you right now. I don't know what to do. You were right. Your wish became true. He is my father and you are not here to know the news and I can't see your reaction" she said.
Sitting on a bench in front of the grave.
"I feel so alone" she whispered to herself.
"You are not alone" a male voice was heard and looking up she saw Ava's father, who sat next to her.
"Mr. Dax"
"Finally we set eyes on you. You didn't even go to the funeral. I thought she was your best friend and you didn't attend her funeral."
Kayla looked down, feeling ashamed
"I'm sorry, but I thought you didn't want me near you or even see me after what happened. You must hate me right now" she sighed sadly.
Mr. Dax wrapped his left arm around her and sighed.
"Where did you get that idea? We don't hate you. You need to stop blaming yourself. It is not you who need to be blamed but the people behind this. It was not you who murderer Ava"
Kayla just looked down again.
"We were very worry about you" he told her after a few minutes of silence.
"You mean him" she said.
"Mostly him, after all he is your father, and I think it is time for you to accept that reality. You no longer someone who don't know who your parents are. I know you wanted to find out who they were and now you finally have your answer."
Kayla kept silent without even look at him. He continue
"I can't force to do anything. I came here to give you something" and taking a bracelet from his pocket he handed to her. "This belong to you. Your father bought it for you and he intent to give it to you when you two would be together again. The inscription was made specifically for you, so you would know how much you were loved. They risk everything to have you but either way they decided to do it. Your mother gave her life for you. Maybe this will remind you who you really are, Lara" he said kissing the top of her head and standing up he left, leaving her alone.
Looking to her hand, she saw a bracelet with an engraving on it written: "Lara Skywalker". Turning around she could read :"We love you, Dad/Mum"
Tears started rolling down her cheeks, and she hold this bracelet tightly on her hand while she looked to the grave of her friend, remember how happy she would be with that news.
She needed to do something. She needed to do it now and with that she stood up and ran towards the Temple.
When she reached it, she found it out empty.
"Hello" she called and nobody answered. "Somebody here"
"Yes I'm here" she heard behind her and all of the sudden something hit right on the face, making her fall on the floor. Feeling the taste of blood at the corner of her mouth, she wipe it and looked up, seeing Lina with a wood stick already swinging at her. She only had time to raise her left arm to protected herself and she felt pain as the stick hit her. She need to get away and rolling to the side she stood up and looked at Lina.
"Lina stop. Let's talk okay" she said walking careful around, always facing her.
"Now you want to talk. You should have thought of that before you humiliate me first in front of Mena and Lex" and she swung the stick again. This time Kayla was able to walk out and the stick hit a bunch of books that flew across the room.
"I don't want to hurt" Kayla told her.
"I think I'm not the one getting hurt here" and she tried to hit her but she again got out the way and Lina hit the bamboo staffs that were use for training many times.
Crawling away she continue to face Lina and her angry face. Her hand touched one the books and looking down she saw an imagine of Luke in his glory days. Looking at him, and then looking at Lina, she remembered and closing her eyes she remember what he told to her at the time:
"You are not alone. I will be here for you, always. But you will not fight people you don't know all the time. Sometimes you will confront people you know all of your life. And during that time, if you fall only you can get up. Nobody else"
She opened her and looked directly to Lina. It was time to accept what she wanted to avoid the past days.
When Lina was ready to hit her again, she rolled out of the way and using the force she pull one of the bamboo staff, grabbing it and faced Lina, who was surprised by that.
"Let's see what you got Minde" and swing the stick but it was blocked and got hit on the stomach by the staff.
Facing Lina and breaking the staff in two, she looked at her straight in the eyes and said out loud so she could hear her clearly:
"My Name Is Lara Skywalker" and swing the sticks she beats Lina, that was not ready.
Lina swing the stick but Lara dodge of it and spinning around she kick Lina on the face. They continue to fight. Lara was able to block Lina, until the wood stick flew from Lina's hand and with that, Lara gave the final blow, by kicking Lina on the stomach, making her fall on the floor.
Looking at Lina, she all of the sudden felt her father, and looking behind her, she saw Luke smiling at her and she smiled back at her father.
There is it. Finally Lara accepted her true name and her bloodline family. What will happen now?
