Pre Chapter 8 : What Happened Before
DreAn followed the Jedi through the woods, staying a far enough distance as to not be detected but not too far that he would lose sight of them. He had been following them for over five hours. His legs begged for rest, and he wanted nothing more than to rest his aching feet. He couldn't stop. Not yet. Not when he he had gotten so far.
DreAn noticed the male Jedi stop and check his surroundings. He could probably feel DreAn's presence somewhere nearby. DreAn had to think quickly or he'd be caught. If the Jedi found him they would probably send him back to the village ending his little adventure. Getting caught wasn't an option. He would have to avoid them longer. Maybe then they'll decide to let him come along.
Trees. The forest was full of them. DreAn decided to climb high up the trees to avoid detection. If he was high enough maybe his presence wouldn't be felt.
His idea seemed to be working. The male Jedi stopped searching and kept on walking. If he stayed up here he could just hop from one tree to the next. But the sun would be setting soon and it would be hard to see the next tree in the dark. He would need to get off by the time it got dark or he would probably fall off.
Night fell but the Jedi kept going. DreAn knew it was a bad idea to get down from the trees. He would use up too much time trying to get down so he just kept following the Jedi from above. Watching each step he took, he carefully made his way from one tree to the next.
The Jedi stopped to set up camp. DreAn watched them from afar. The Mon Calamari and the human female looked like they were arguing about something. There was a lot of screaming and arguing coming from them.
(Author's Note: If you're wondering why the Mon Calamari in this story are blue instead of the salmon color they're supposed to be then go read my author's notes part two)
The Mon Calamari girl. She was beautiful. DreAn didn't have much of a chance to really see her until now. Her hair and skin were a dark blue and her eyes were an aqua green. DreAn wanted to ask her questions. But that could wait till later.
The two females finally stopped arguing and went their separate ways. The male Jedi was talking to the human female. DreAn hopped over to another tree so he could listen to their conversation. His idea didn't work. The two spoke in low voices and he couldn't make out any of it. When the male Jedi decided to leave, DreAn followed him.
The Jedi stopped again. "You're too close DreAn" he whispred to himself. "Better slowly move to the next tree." He took a step and fell. He fell right above the small campfire. The small fire was not strong enough to burn his clothes and his fall put out the flames. Everything was dark. And the only light came form the stars above.
