I take the last step off the staircase. I am breathing heavily. The pain has faded away into the background of my mind. I have one goal now, getting home.
I limp out into the hanger. In the well-lit area, I notice my vision is blurry. I can't see much beyond my hands. My head throbs. I try to make out the shapes in the room. The light is blinding. Is this even the hanger. I must trust in the force, if I am to find my way. I don't like not being able to trust my eyes. Perhaps that's why I've never developed my force skills, as much as my light-saber.
"Focus Anakin" I recalled in Obi-one's voice. I know I've gotten lost in my thoughts again…
I close my eyes and try to relax. I sense my way through the space. I feel my self being drawn to walk in a direction. I follow, each step is painful, unsteady and slow. Through the ringing I hear scratching. A shiver runs down my spine. I am not alone.
I stagger into a bulky cold metal object and tumble to the ground. I've found a ship. With the adrenaline pupping through my veins, I push myself off the floor. Quickly, I find the panel to open the ship.
The door creaks open. With a loud crash it hits the floor. I half crawl, walk into the craft. My heart is racing. I can feel it getting closer. Dread swellings up inside of me. I scramble to close the spaceship.
The sound of the hanger closing provides me with some comfort, but I am still anxious. Of what? I don't know…
Which somehow always seems to make it worse. I don't have time to work it out now. My head is throbbing.
I need to find out if it can fly this ship. I have to fly. Eye sight or not, I don't have a choice. I stumble around with half blind. I use the force to sense my way to the cockpit. I slump into the captain's chair and turn on the ship. It takes a while to get started, each second feels like an eternity. Eventually it turns on. I have fuel, not much.
Using the force, I take the ship off. Its bumpy, and unsteady getting out of the planet's atmosphere. Somehow I made it.
I use the force to I set a course and launch the ancient ship into hyper-drive. I'm not exactly sure where I'm going. At least I'm not there anymore. Where was I?
I need to see if this ship has any medical supplies, before I fall asleep. I don't want to move, the idea of standing is unbearable. I will close my eyes for just a few seconds and rest...
