Author's Note: Sorry this too me so long to get done, but I've been busy all weeklong. First off, I saw the movie 'Troy' last Sunday and I was in love with that movie...that's what I get for being of Greek heritage. So I've been reading Troy stories…and I think I may write one soon. So watch for that! Also I had to register for my one class this semester and I had to find a job. And I was succesful in all of them! Besides that I've had a mild case of writer's block…I finall got over thanks to this saying: "Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story…" Yeah my Muse went far away but came back on Thursday night! So enjoy and leave feedback as usual!

Chapter 12: Unknown Allies

Caylee lay on her bed, shaking from head to toe. Her body was racked with fever. It had been several days since the incident in the middle of the night. She hadn't eaten anything, barely drank anything, and hadn't said a word to anyone.

Tionne softly brushed the sweat-matted hair from the little girl's forehead and placed a cool cloth on it to try and break her fever. "It's ok Caylee. Your daddy is almost back here," Tionne softly whispered as she ran her hand along Caylee's back.

Am I going to die? A weak voice asked through the Force to Tionne. She knew it had to be Caylee talking to her.

No you aren't. Your daddy won't allow that to happen.

But in my dreams…

Caylee started to shake more.

What about your dreams Caylee? Tionne softly probed.

…Daddy and I both died because of the white monsters that killed Chewie.

Tionne gasped. Had this little girl foreseen the future?

It was only a dream dear. The Jedis will protect the galaxy.

Tionne felt Caylee's shaking slow down a bit and her nerves calm slightly. She sighed as she kept rubbing Caylee's back and she began to hum a soothing melody to her. Slowly Caylee began to fall asleep.

From the doorway, Kam watched. After a few minutes, he went and sat down next to his wife. "How is she?" he asked.

"Scared."

"Scared?" Kam asked a bit shocked.

Tionne nodded yes. "She asked me if she was going to die and then told me that she has had dreams where her and Master Skywalker die at the hands of these invaders. Do you think she has the ability to see the future?"

"All Jedi have that ability to some extent. But this little girl is special. She's very strong in the Force and she knows it. I vaguely remember her grandfather before he turned to the Dark side. And she is just as gifted as he was. But the others are about to arrive, along with Master Skywalker. And I think Caylee should be there when her father arrives."

Tionne agreed. Kam gently picked up the sleeping little girl and carried her down the hall to the Great Hall where all the Jedis from across the galaxy were gathering. In the middle of it all was Luke Skywalker.

He immediately turned around once he felt his daughter near to him and made his way to Kam and Tionne.

"Is she any better?" Luke asked, as he took Caylee in his arms. The little girl was still sound asleep.

"Not really. Tionne has spent most of the time with her since that night, while I made sure everything else with the Academy was fine." Kam replied.

"Earlier she asked me if she was going to die. Then she went on to tell me that she's had dreams about the Yuuzhan Vong invaders." Tionne soberly said.

"That is true. She's had these dreams since Mara died. I never really thought anything of her dreams, until recently."

"But that was over 2 years ago!" Kam said shocked.

"I know. But don't mention her dreams to anyone. You two are the only other ones who know besides the Solo clan and Kandra."

They both agreed.

"Daddy?" Caylee asked groggily, as she woke up in her father's arms.

"Yes sweetheart?"

"Don't leave me again," she said as she curled up close against her daddy's chest.

"We'll talk about that later. Now come on, I need to take care of some Jedi business," he said carrying her away in his arms.

Luke made his way up to the dais, with Caylee in his arms. He sat her down on the ground the cleared his throat loudly. Once he had everyone's attention, he began.

"As everyone knows, the Yuuzhan Vong means business. I think it is best for us to spread throughout the Outer Rim Systems and try to head off anymore of the Yuuzhan Vong from invading. But mainly stay near to the areas that have already been invaded."

"But what about the Academy?" Jaina asked.

"Kam and Tionne Solusar will stay here, along with Ikrit and a few others. The youngest trainees will be safest here. " Luke said.

"Are you sure Master Skywalker?" Kyp asked.

"If I wasn't would I be leaving my daughter here?" Luke replied.

None of the Jedis said anything.

"Very well then. At sun down we will have the memorial service for Miko Reglia."

With that the Jedi Knights spread out around the Great Hall and the rest of the temple grounds for the next few hours. Luke picked Caylee back up and he carried her away from everyone. It was time for some father and daughter time.

As he carried her down the hall to his bedroom, he could feel her still shaking. "Sweetheart have you eaten anything lately?" Luke gently asked.

"No daddy. I haven't been hungry."

"Why not?"

Caylee didn't say anything, but turned and curled against her father's chest. He knew she was hiding something.

Caylee Jade Skywalker…tell me now. Don't make me probe your mind Luke said through their Force bond.

I'm going to die daddy. I know it…

Some of the things Caylee had told him before had shocked him, like the time she said the Emperor is still alive. But this, this was the most disturbing by far. So far she had been right about most things she saw through her mind's eye. Yet this time, this time she had to be wrong. She just had to be…

I won't let that happen sweetheart, he said as he softly kissed her forehead.

Luke gently sat Caylee down on the bed and sat down next to her. Her deep blue eyes were starring up at him. He could see the deep tracks of her tears from so many days of crying. He knew that this was too much for a five year old to take in. All he wanted to do was shield her from it all. But he knew that he couldn't. He was going to be needed elsewhere in the galaxy. And probably in some pretty dangerous situations too. And he was right -- the Academy was the safest place for Caylee. Even if he knew that there was a divide within the ranks of the Jedi…some, like Kyp Durron, wanted to go on and be aggressive against the Yuuzhan Vong, while some like himself, wanted to take things slow and to see what exactly the Yuuzhan Vong were capible of.

Cray sat starring up at the sun of Galena. He had the strangest feeling about something. But he could figure out what it was. Behind Namon Trekk came up and sat down next to him.

"Why are you out here all by yourself Cray?"

"I wasn't feeling good in my room. So I came out here."

Namon knew that the boy had not yet been trained that much in the Force. So what he must be feeling was something through the Force. But what it was, Namon wasn't sure about.

"Can I ask you something?" Cray asked turning to look at Namon.

"Sure."

"Are you my daddy now?"

Namon smiled gently at the little boy. So far Cray was still under their control.

"Is that what you want?"

The little boy shook his head yes.

"Then your father I am."

Cray hugged Namon and then leaned up against him. Namon gently wrapped his arm around the boy's shoulders. This was going way better then planned. At least one of the Skywalker twins was under his complete control.

Up.

Over.

Down.

Spin and up.

Flip backwards and cross over.

Kam watched as Caylee performer her lightsaber practice against a probe. Her moves against the probe were so precise. He was in awe of how this 5 year old, almost 6 year old, could move. She was undoubtly a Skywalker. Artie beeped happily next to him. "Yeah she is good," Kam said to the droid, who beeped in agreement.

"Kam?" Caylee asked as she went up to Kam once she was done practicing.

"Yes Caylee?" he asked kneeling down in front of her.

"Why are the ugly monsters here?"

"You mean in the galaxy?"

Caylee nodded yes.

"We're not sure. That's why your daddy is gone. He and your aunt are trying to figure that out."

"But I feel people dying."

"We all do Caylee. The Yuuzhan Vong are very mean and deceitful. But don't worry. You're safe here."

"When am I going to see daddy?"

"Why don't you ask him?" Kam said smiling.

Caylee turned around and saw her father walking towards them. "Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Caylee cried breaking into a run towards him. It had been almost six months since she had seen him. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she ran into her father's open arms.

"You've gotten heavier." Luke said as he picked her up.

She smiled and flung her arms around her daddy's neck. "I love you daddy!" she said as she planted a kiss on Luke's cheek.

Luke smiled at his daughter. He so had missed her smile. She was what kept him going during this entire ordeal. He wanted the galaxy to be safe once again for her. "I love you too Caylee," he replied, as he carried her towards the Academy. Kam and Artie followed close behind.

Caylee gingerly walked up to her uncle and tugged on his shirt. Han knelt down. "Yes?" he quietly asked.

She swallowed hard then held out her hand. Inside her palm was a tiny pink flower. "I used to put these in Chewie's hair. And this was one that had dried out. Keep it for me," she said as tears began to form in her eyes.

Han gingerly picked up the dried flower from Caylee's hand and looked at it. A wave of emotion flooded over him. He pulled Caylee into a hug as sobs racked his body. She too began to cry. They were on Kashyyyk for Chewie's funeral. It had just finished and Han had wanted to be alone, but he was actually happy that his niece had found him.

"Thank you Caylee. I'll keep it on the Falcon with me," he managed to say once he stopped sobbing so much. She smiled and hugged him once more before going to find her father.

Leia walked up beside her husband and gently hugged him. She knew that from here on out was going to be a test of their love.

"I love you," she whispered.

"I know," Han said as he kissed her forehead.

-----------

Caylee quietly made her way into her daddy's room. She sat down on the floor near to where he was meditating and waited.

Today was her 6th birthday. And all day, her father had managed to not mention a single word about it to her. She was really upset about it. She wasn't upset that she wasn't going to get anything. There wasn't anything that she really wanted. Well that was a lie. She wanted the monsters to leave so her daddy wouldn't have to be gone so much.

But what she was upset about was the fact that her father was treating it as any other day.

"I'm sorry for being so busy Caylee. And no I didn't forget your birthday." Luke said opening his eyes.

"It's ok daddy," Caylee said smiling as she looked up at her father. She then moved closer to him and sat in his lap.

"What's your birthday wish?"

"For the monsters to leave and you come home."

Luke smiled. "Soon Caylee. Soon. Happy birthday."

-----------

A few weeks after Caylee's 6th birthday, Luke needed to leave once again. He wasn't sure how long he would be gone this time. He had just learned that the Yuuzhan Vong and the Hutts had joined forces. Caylee was very hesitant to let him leave her again.

"Don't you want the monsters to leave?" Luke asked gently.

She nodded yes.

"Then I must go."

She hugged him tightly as she began to cry. "Be careful daddy," she said sniffling.

"I promise I will. Be a good girl," he said wiping her tears away.

"I will daddy. I love you."

"Love you too Caylee."

She watched her daddy's ship take off and fly away from Yavin 4. Next to her Artie beeped calmly.

"Yeah Artie, I'm sure everything will be ok."

-----------

Caylee sat up breathing hard. She had just had another one of her dreams. She was just about to get out of bed and go wake up Tionne and tell her, when a voice spoke to her.

"Nightmare you had hmm?"

Caylee looked all around her like she was going crazy. Then she spotted a small figure sitting on the edge of her bed. She knew that whoever it was, was a Jedi spirit, because it was glowing softly. Then it dawned on her, who it was. It was Yoda, the Jedi Master who had taught her father.

"Master Yoda?"

The small figure nodded gently. Then he began to speak."Soon young one saved you will be by the one you saved."

Caylee just sat by and didn't say a word as the Jedi Master began to fade away. She didn't even bother going to wake up anyone. Calmness had surrounded her.

"What have I saved?" she thought as she lay back down and fell fast asleep.
