FUTURE, PAST AND PRESENT: CHAPTER THREE

She ducked under his impending blow, and blocked another flurry of strikes. He was masterful at fighting, and she was having a hard time keeping up with him. She blocked a few blows, and landed one on his arm.

He used the force, and she slammed against the wall. She landed on her feet, gracefully dodging a few more blows. She almost got a shot at his shoulder, but he deflected her hit and sent her lightsaber flying, leaving her with one.

With no time to use the force to retrieve her second lightsaber, she continued. He was strong...she took all thought out of her mind and let the force guide her. She rolled on the balls of her feet, barely missing a jab to her leg.

She jumped high into the air, summoning her second saber back. He hit it down and cut it in half as it came up, and she landed on the ground with her back turned to him. She didn't have time to turn around before he slashed her back, and she stumbled forward, landing near the crevice.

Zayn saw her fall, and Quanah's lightsaber rolled to her feet. Without thought, she grabbed the still-lit lightsaber and rushed out. Her friends could not yell a warning, and she went head-to-head with the Sith. Her size worked to her advantage for a few strikes, but soon he got used to her style and he struck her down with ease, still missing.

The only time she had used a sword was about two months ago when a robber came into the restaurant.

She got up quickly, holding the lightsaber as the Sith extended his hand.

The Sith used the force on her, but it didn't affect her. He looked confused for a moment, but he then ran towards her. He attacked in a flurry of swipes, and the final got her square in the stomach. She fell over onto the ground, and the last thing she heard was her name.

"Zayn!" Quanah called out. She had used the force to heal her wounds. She grabbed the lightsaber from the girl's clutching fingers, facing the Sith.

All the years of Jedi training...to be calm, no hatred, no anger, no passion, no fear...they left her. In an adrenalin rush, and out of anger, she moved quicker than the Sith, slicing him clean in the neck, and he fell over.

"Damn you, Quanah. Damn you. The next one will kill—" He spoke his last breath, and his evil soul became one with the force, being purified...but not soon enough to redeem him.

Quanah walked over to the two pieces of what used to be her lightsaber, and picked them up, stuffing them into a backpack and waving her hand at Zayn.

Zayn's eyes opened, and the six year old slowly got up.

"I must be crazy." She said weakly, letting out a small chuckle.

"He could have killed you!" Meldra said, in a loud whisper. She ran over to Zayn, hugging her tight. Nadde slowly walked over and just put his hand on her shoulder. She turned to the twelve-year old facing her, and hugged him, too.

Meldra walked over to Quanah, who was walking slowly. Zayn and Nadde soon fell behind, walking towards a large metal door.
