Disclaimer and Author's Note: I hope everyone likes this chapter. I've finally decided how I'm going to write the rest of this story…its gonna be long! There will be two separate books, with several short stories inbetween them! That way, it spreads out the reading! Please review! And as usual, I don't own Star Wars or the NJO.

Chapter 19: Nightmares and Visions

Caylee slowly walked the darkened streets of some place she had never been before. She didn't recognize anything around her, but she felt something calling her. She began to run down the street. Suddenly she came to a stretching halt. She was starring at a pair of knees from someone. She slowly moved her eyes up and saw a huge human like man standing in front of her. She was too scared to move as the man brought up and light sword and swung down.

"Caylee! Caylee!" Luke said to his daughter as he gently shook her shoulders. Her screams had woken him, Anakin and Kandra. They all had come running into her room.

Caylee stopped screaming and opened her eyes. "Daddy!" she said flinging her arms around her father. She began to cry into his chest. Luke gently rubbed her back to calm her down, since she was shaking from head to toe. "It's ok sweetheart. It was only a dream. I promise everything will be ok."

As Caylee continued to cry, Luke looked up at Kandra and his father. He motioned his head a little for them to leave, so that he and Caylee could talk.

"Come on Kandra. Let them be," Anakin gently said turning and leaving the room. Kandra followed behind him.

After a few more minutes of silence, Caylee had calmed down enough to talk, but her words were all jumbled.

"Shh, shh. Speak slowly."

Caylee took a deep breath and told her father about her nightmare. Luke realized that Caylee had been feeling the disturbance in the Force coming from Courscant. He wondered if her being this so called 'child of light and darkness' had anything to do with her being able to have such vivid visions at such a young age.

Luke pulled his daughter close to him and hugged her tightly. "I promise sweetheart that nothing bad is going to happen."

Caylee just lay in her father's arms and didn't say anything. She hoped that he was right.

"Sit still Caylee! Or else your hair will mess up," Syal Antilles said.

Caylee tired her hardest to sit still. But she couldn't. She knew that her daddy and grandpa were up in space, fighting the Yuuzhan Vong invaders. Or at least stopping them from taking over the planet they were on again.

Over in the corner, Kandra sat laughing at the four little girls. Syal and Myri Antilles were braiding Caitlin and Caylee's hair. Myri seemed to be having a much easier time with Caitlin, and then her older sister was with Caylee.

"Syal, why don't you let me braid Caylee's hair and then I'll braid yours. I'm sure that your daddy will like that." Kandra said as she went and sat down next to them.

"Ok Kandra," she said moving out of the way.

Kandra moved over and sat behind Caylee. She began to gently undo what Syal had done, then brushed out Caylee's long hair. "How do you want me to braid your hair Caylee?" she asked.

"Like grandma's in the picture that Artoo shows me all the time." Caylee said without turning around to look at Kandra.

"That I can do."

Caylee smiled and sat there as Kandra braided her hair.

"Uncle Han! Auntie Leia!"

Caylee's tiny frame pushed through the crowd of pilots that surround the Millennium Falcon. Standing at the bottom of the loading ramp was Han, Leia, Luke and Anakin.

Han quickly scooped up his niece and hugged her tightly. Each and every time he saw her; she seemed to make him feel so much better at the moment. It was like a little bit of hope was rekindling in his heart. And he knew Leia felt the same way about Caylee.

"Now how is my favorite Niece?" Han asked as the group walked towards Han and Leia's quarters that Wedge had set up for them.

"I've tried to be a good girl, but Kyler was mean to me."

Han had no idea who Kyler was, but he went along with it. "Now what did Kyler do to upset you?"

"He said that I had never flown a star ship before! And I told him that I've helped you and daddy all the time! Then he was being a smarty-pants. So I hit him in the nose!" she said all in one breath.

"You hit him in the nose?" Leia asked walking beside them.

Caylee shook her head yes. "But he deserved it!"

Han couldn't help but laugh. "You know Luke, Caylee had Mara's spunk," Han said turning to look at his brother in law.

"Yeah I know. I was afraid of that."

It had been a few days since Leia and Han had arrived on Borleias. Since that time, they had been integrated into the Insiders. Since then, Leia had spent a lot of time picking through all records, trying to determine what systems owed her favors and who she could get to side with them. While she would be doing that, Han spent a lot of time tweaking the Falcon. And that include putting a new co-captain chair in. one that fit Leia better.

Meanwhile, Luke mediated often about what he was feeling coming from Courscant. He always did it whenever Caylee was nowhere near he. Usually that was when Anakin would take her out and practice her Jedi skills.

The more and more that Luke meditated, the more he realized that there was huge trouble brewing on Courscant. And he made up his mind about something. He would return to Courscant and locate the source of these visions.

Luke, Anakin and all the other members of the Insiders sat in their normal meeting. The main part of the discussion was what was happening on Hapes and also how Lando was going to embarrass the Yuuzhan Vong.

"Anything else?" Wedge asked, before the meeting ended.

Luke spoke up as everyone's attention was turned towards him. "I'm going back to Courscant. Something is going on there and it has nothing to do with the Yuuzhan Vong. I've seen visions of this and so has Caylee."

"But how can we trust the visions of a seven year old?" Tycho asked.

"Every vision that Caylee has seen or had since she was three years old has come true. I trust her visions as well as I trust my own. She wakes up screaming at night about them."

"I think it's a good idea," Iella Antilles said speaking up. Her husband had placed her in charge of Intelligence. "We've been wanting to set up resistance cells on Courscant. And this way in one mission, we knock out two missions with one."

When it was placed that way, everyone else agreed. "Then it's settled. Form a team, Luke." Wedge said.

On the way out of the meeting, Leia pulled her brother to the side. "Let's go for a walk. I need to talk to you," she whispered.

A few minutes later after they began walking, Leia finally spoke up. "I know that I don't have as developed Force talents that you have, but something has been bugging me."

"What is it sis?"

Leia sighed. "I really can't explain it. But it's a dream that I keep having. It's always the same and it's always about this child of light and dark."

"Are you sure Leia?"

She nodded yes. "Do you know what it means?" she asked suddenly scared after seeing her brother's reaction.

"I don't. But this is what I do know. Father has had that dream. I have had that dream. And you have had that dream. That isn't coincidence."

"No its not. But do you have any idea on who this child is?"

"Yeah I do," Luke said pausing.

"Who is it then?"

Luke sighed deeply. "If what has been dreamt is true, then Caylee is the child of light and dark."

Leia gasped a little. "But what does it all mean?" she asked.

"We have no idea."

On the 30th day of the Borleias occupation, Leia awaked Han abruptly.

"What is it?" he asked groggily.

"Jaina's in the system and is preparing to land!" Leia said excitedly.

All the members of the Insiders as well as Jag Fel sat around and listened to what Jaina, Kyp and Lowbacca all tell the story of what happened on Hapes and also about Jaina's idea of psychological warfare against the Yuuzhan Vong. To them, she was some how related to the goddess of trickery. So why not play on that.

No one objected.

"How about we make this a little bit more interesting. I give you command of the Twin Suns Squadron. I have another mission now that needs my attention. So I'll let you borrow my squadron for a while," Luke said smiling at his niece.

The expression on Jaina's face told it all.
