This story is a bit weird, but oh well.
Chapter 1-Dreaming
Two lightsabers. One silver, one red. Dueling, though no hands held them...
A face, so much like her own, yet the eyes held nothing but an empty void...
The faces of everyone she loved, all her family and friends, all with those eyes that were full of emptiness...
Suddenly it all disappeared.
Ralya Durron woke in a cold sweat. She'd had that dream every night for the past two weeks. And she still had no idea what it meant.
She heard the door slide open, felt her father's presence as he entered her room. "Same dream again?" Kyp asked his daughter.
Ralya nodded. She was beginning to calm down, telling herself over and over that it was only a dream. "Same dream," she said.
"Do you want to tell me about it?"
Ralya began describing her dream: the dueling between the lightsabers, the empty eyes, the faces. "And I saw my face. Except my eyes..." Her voice trailed off. "I really can't describe it. It was like..."
"Like you turned to the Dark Side?"
"No!" The reply was sharper than she had intended. She continued in a softer tone, "It was as if my soul was dead but my body was still living. Like there was nothing inside..."
"It was only a dream, Ralya."
Again, Ralya nodded, but only halfheartedly. For when a dream comes every night for two weeks straight, it inevitably turns into a nightmare. "Did I wake mom?" she asked.
Kyp shook his head. "No." Pause. "Would you like some help going back to sleep?"
"Yes, thanks." Ralya lay back down and felt the Force wash over her, pulling her body into a deep restful sleep.
Just before she was totally out, Ralya wondered why she couldn't do something like that to her mind.
