Boy have I got a post for you ;)
".well, Vader certainly isn't going to wait for me before he takes care of Skywalker."
Her long eyelashes locked down elegantly as she peered into her hip sac for Force cuffs. They quickly unveiled two intense globes of emerald one may call eyes when their owner heard a soft moan.
"Great. She's waking up."

Trees. They were trees. The shadows, the pillars, and other shadows, they're trees, the realization finally set. A small hand suddenly appeared, an animated suck of breath, her right arm stiffened, her fingers flexed in shock. Jaina saw that the hand grazing the leaves was actually her own, as those fingers, now familiar, widened as well.
An involuntary sigh of relief. Cool air, warm, not moist, regular air. She was still in shadows, in strange shadows, back away from strange trees, right leg back, arms back. Her foot dug into the ground. Dirt. Eyes eerily down, plains. Brown [t]desert[/t] dirt. Okay, okay. I am Jaina. Desert, uncle Luke, Jedi. I am Jedi, great warrior, Force, snap out of this.
Did you hear that? Footsteps. Yes, its real. There are others.

Sooner than Luke would have wished, the creamy white planet of Bespin came into view, marking the end of his peaceful interlude of his war-bidden lifestyle. Guilt bit at him as he remembered that his friends, Leia, Han, and Chewie, would have begged to differ. Who knew what Vader was doing to them now?
Despite what the simple, optimistic ramblings of his mind voiced, Luke had several terribly graphic, good ideas of what horrors they were experiencing. Right now, right this second...
"This is Cloud City, Bespin, express your identity."
Against his better judgment but in lieu with the Force's will, Luke told the truth and returned to his stoic, if somewhat cheerful, self, all past thoughts pushed firmly aside. To his slight surprise, he was given clearance. Dipping through the puffs of poisonous gasses to a red-stained sunset, he landed his ship at the landing bay.
The picturesque building structure, the sky, the planet, was utterly foreign to him. The entrance slid sideways with a hiss, its design new to him. Luke strode through the halls, lightsaber in hand. They were empty and devoid of life, obviously victim to an Imperial invasion. For what it was worth, Luke felt right at home.

Leaves are moving. Tree leaves, brushing, making scratching noises dirt, I hear dirt. Feet, on dirt, moving walking stepping carefully duck move down head Oww! My eye! Leaf, green leaf near eyes, footsteps coming fall down! Dirt on elbows. Danger. The dirt is dry, my elbows are dirty, but I am a Jedi and there are others, I must be alert. I avert my eyes, dark. I am Jedi, I must use the Force.
I take a deep breath, free my mind, The Force.
Fear. Splinters of fear, creeping and pricking my head, I can feel the air on my wide eyes, some dust. No its not, this is impossible, I am Jedi, not right, not right, I'm Jaina. Girl, mom, dad, Mom! Dad! Jedi. Force. Help!
There is no Force here.

"He's no good to me dead."
The Force was distracting Vader, but nothing kept the Sith Lord distracted. He reassured the bounty hunter.
"He will not be permanently damaged."
The baron Calrissian rushed foward. There was something happening.
"Lord Vader, what about Leia and the Wookie?"
The Princess. The Rebellion could not win, the Emperor must never suspect him of his treasonous pursuits.
"They must never again leave this city."
The Force tugged harder. Vader boarded the elevator. The baron was still arguing against him.
"Perhaps you think you are being treated unfairly?"
Calrissian retreated. His compassion for his people is his weakness. [t]As is Luke's.[/t]
"Good. It would be unfortunate if I had to leave a garrison here."
With no distractions, the Force whined further.
*****
Its gone its gone! Oh Force, there was no Force!
Voices. The others. Blasters. Battle. Blasters. Dirt, dust, can taste it. Jaina, Jaina, [t]lightsaber[/t]. Hip, clutch, no lightsaber. Robes. Robes? Blaster. Jaina.
I'm defenseless. Look up.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!!
Twisted face, human wretched, big eyes.
Far away, its far away, it doesn't see me, its okay. Blasters.
Its not okay.
There are more voices.
Peering around, I see people.
I am calm.
There are other people I see, Jedi.
Jedi?
Yes.
And there is Anakin.
10 feet away, I am away, young man, sharp blue eyes, messy hair. Its not Anakin, Anakin is younger, my brother, Anakin, happy Anakin, smiling Anakin, not this.
But it is Anakin. I know. Anakin. Anakin! Go, save yourself! Anakin, Anakin, blasters, monster eyes, Anakin! No Force, we are Jedi, Anakin! My mouth is open, I'm talking, screaming, I hear nothing. The Force.
Ripples of the Force, strong currents, my legs are straight, Anakin! Use Force, I can't, I fall, but I am still standing. Screaming, buzzing, lightsabers, so much screaming, Anakin!
And then there it is. Red hotness, on Anakin. ANAKIN!!! No, I bolt. Anakin, Anakin, smiling Anakin, brother Anakin, Jacen, Mom Anakin Dad Anakin Anakin.

A loud guttural groan and slurs grabbed Mara's acute attention.
"What did you say?"
The girl began moving, her torso twisting around. Mara brought herself to her knees to the girl.
"Anakin, Anakin, Anakin."
The girl's head was bobbing now. Who was Anakin?
**** His eyes closed, his fists clenched, the Force roared. Voices, yellow whizzing past leaves, the Force came forth.
Space was moving, trees were moving, Jaina was moving, Anakin was burning.
Anakin was burning.
Anakin was on fire.
Smiling Anakin, Jedi Anakin, Jedi Jaina is flying.
I'm. flying, I can't control myself. Anakin can't control himself, Anakin is.is.no.
"NOOOO!"
*****
As the first tears sprang from the girl's eyes, the Force seemed to crack. Mara darted around in her crouched position. What was going on?
"Noo, noo, noo! Anakin Anakin no fire! Fire!"
As soon as the Force had seemed to whirl round with ferocity, it had calmed. The girl hadn't though. Mara gripped her arm, but the girl kept shaking.
"Anakin Anakin!"
She opened her eyes, her wet eyes, had she been crying? Aunt Mara, master, Aunt Mara, right there oh love sweet loving Aunt Mara. Oh horrible horrible.
"Aunt Mara!" Jaina sobbed.
*****
Mara eye's lit, her body flinched. Impossible. The girl knew her name, who had told her? Had Vader told her? But wait, how delirious was she? The girl had called her. aunt. She'd called her Aunt Mara!
Just as the amusement had set in, Mara returned to the red cracking eyes and felt warm skin, arms, wrapping around her.
****
Oh Anakin, poor Anakin. Jaina hugged her Aunt Mara. She wasn't alone, but what of Anakin?
"Aunt Mara, Anakin, Anakin, oh he's. he's dead! In fire!"
****
Only when the girl had pushed her brown-haired head onto her should did Mara realized she was being hugged. Despite maintaining an almost clinical detachment, Mara was, literally, touched.
"Aunt Mara, Anakin, Anakin, oh he's. he's dead! In fire!"
****
Jaina hugged Aunt Mara. Peace. No more shadows, no more trees, no more Anakin. No.
Jaina looked to the side as saw a shadow coming. But it wasn't a tree.
Hope you liked that (
I'm sorry if anybody was confused!
Jaina Solo has two brothers, Jacen and Anakin. The death she saw in her vision was that of her younger brother Anakin Solo. Mara Jade in the future marries Luke Skywalker and becomes Jaina's aunt.
Anakin's death, in the book Star by Star, is basically, he used the Force to save his squandron on a mission so much that he died in a 'blaze of the Force'. In other words, he burned to death. Get it?
