Avaris' POV

I turn around in my bed. I know how this goes. There is Jamie with his lightsaber above me. I pull my lightsaber from a nightstand. I block Jamie's attack and pull the hut on him. Another one of my 'deja-vu' dreams.

"Mama... Mama..." I hear a distant echo.

"Mama!" I hear Angie's voice as I wake up.

"Hey Angie," I tell her as I sit up. "Did I sleep in?"

"No. But Nana is calling you. She says she has a mission for you."

I nod. I look at a chronometer on my desk. I don't have a normal sleep schedule. I can lie down late in the evening and wake up in the morning, or lay down during the day and wake up in the middle of the night.

"Alright, go tell Leia that I'll be there in a second." She smiles and leaves. I can't believe how much she had grown in the last 8 years.

I get up and pick up some clothes. I take cream pants, a white tunic, a leather jacket, and boots.

I get out of my quarters and walk out to the base. D'Qar is a home base of the Resistance. After Leia told me about First Order attacks I couldn't just do nothing. She offered me the position of commander but I declined.

I get to the command center. Leia is waiting for me there.

"Good. You are here Avaris. I need you to go ta Jakku."

"Did something happen to Poe?" I ask.

"He is not responding. He should have been half bay back by now."

"Ok. I'll go." Poe was sent to retrieve a map that leads to the secret location of Lisa and Jamie.

I get to an X-wing that is prepared for me. I put on a helmet and prepared for the flight. I get the signal from the command center and get in the air.

After some time I see Jakku in all of its dusty beauty. But then I sense him.

"Ben," I whisper.

He doesn't respond but I know he heard me. I also see a Star Destroyer. I recognize it as the Finalizer, Hux's ship.

"Can this day become any worse?" I mutter.

I descend towards the planet. If Poe was captured...

No, now I see. There is a TIE Fighter flying away from the Finalizer. And then the TIE is shot. It starts falling towards the planet. I fly down with it. I sense Poe and someone else there.

"Poe is that you?!" I shout through the commlink.

"Avaris! Am I glad to hear from you! In case you haven't noticed we are in a bit of trouble."

"I see you. I'll fly next to you so I can slow down your fall."

We just entered the atmosphere. One part of the TIE falls off. I follow the rest and the land near it. I get out of my X-wing throwing the helmet. I run to the TIE but it's not Poe who is there. Only his jacket is there.

A dark-skinned man dressed up in stormtrooper armor runs towards the wreckage.

"Who are you and where is Poe?"

"My name is Finn. I helped Poe escape." I sense he is not lying. I also sense something else.

"Run!" I shout. My ship and the TIE sink in quicksand. "Karabast! We'll have to find a way off this rock."

"What about Poe?"

"I can't sense him. Did he tell you where the map is?"

"He said his droid has it," the man says. He starts taking off pieces of his armor.

"Of course. Well, let's get going." We start walking in one direction. After some time Finn asks:

"Are you a Jedi?"

"I am," I answer. Then I remember that I haven't told him my name yet. "I'm Avaris by the way."

He stops.

"Wait you are Avaris Skywalker? The Princess."

I turn to him and say: "I am not a princess. I don't know what the First Order told you about me but it was probably a lie."

"They told us that you betrayed and killed Filius."

"Okay two things. First, I never betrayed my father since I never really joined him in the first place. Second, he isn't dead, just in exile."

We decide not to talk much after that since we have to keep ourselves from dehydration.

After a few hours of walking, we come to an outpost. We separate searching for some water. I offer some credits to a man for a canister of water but he denies them and requests my commlink. I give him the command he gives me water. I drink half of it, saving the rest for Finn.

Then something strange happens. I see Finn knocked to the ground by a girl. By her clothes, I assume she is a scavenger. I watch them argue for a little.

Then BB-8 comes. He shocks Finn, who winces in pain. I came just in time to hear Finn telling the girl and BB-8 about Poe.

"BB-8!" I shout and the little droid comes to me. "Glad you made it," I say.

I approach the girl to thank her for keeping BB-8 safe. But then, we hear TIE Fighters. Finn grabs the girl's hand and pulls her.

We run through the outpost. We get into a tent and Finn asks if anyone has a blaster. We hear more TIEs coming our way.

Finn once again takes the girls hand on what she comments:

"Stop taking my hand!"

We ran out of the tent just as it explodes. The explosion sends us flying but we soon hit the sand. We get up and exit the outpost.

There we see two ships. One of them is a quad jumper and the other one is a very familiar YT-1300.

"We can't outrun them!" Finn shouts.

"We might in that quad jumper!" The girl answers.

"That ship is slow. We take that one." I start running towards the Corellian freighter and BB-8 follows me.

"That one is garbage," scavenger shouts as I'm running away from her and Finn. As I enter the ship I hear another explosion. It was the quad jumper.

I get to the cockpit and start preparing for the flight. I see Finn and the scavenger running into the ship.

"Gunner position is down there!" I hear the scavenger say.

She sits in the co-pilot seat.

"What happened to this ship? Most of these adjustments don't make any sense." I say.

"It can fly. Yeah?" The girl answers.

"Let's find out," I say as I turn the engine on.

Somehow, we get in the air.

"Stay low it confuses their tracking!" Finn shouts through the ship's comm channel. I fly the ship as close as I can to the land.

"You," I point at the girl, "turn on the shields. And you," I shout through the comm channel. "Start blasting them."

"We need some cover," Finn says.

I see a wreck of an old Star Destroyer.

"You thinking what I'm thinking."

She nods.

I drive the ship into the broken haul of Star Destroyer. Finn shoots one TIE. We somehow exit the wreck. I immediately pull up the lever and we are flying up. Finn shoots the other TIE.

We exit Jakku's atmosphere. The scavenger and I meet with Finn in the living area of the ship.

"Well, that was good. Nice shooting," I say to Finn. He says: "Thanks."

"Where did you learn how to fly?" I ask the girl.

"In a simulator. I never flew a real ship before."

"I didn't get your name," Finn tells her.

"Rey," she says.

"I'm Avaris. This is Finn."

Suddenly, we see some gas, probably toxic, coming from under the floor.

I'm so happy :). The sequel finally comes to life. Plus, it's on the same date as the first chapter of the previous story.
