Disclaimer: Same as usual.
Author's Note: I got this idea from reading the 'Revenge of the Sith' novel. There were these parts that described one of the charaters' feelings at the moment. So I tried wrting something like that, but it didn't work out. So I thought what if we got a glijpse into Caylee's thoughts from her point of view. So that's what I did here. So please leave me feedback and let me know if you hated it or liked it. I won't hold it against you if oyu don't like it. And if it's a success, I might do more lately in the story. Thanks!
Chapter 23: Interlude
What is destiny?
In my opinion is a path that everyone is set on from birth. But I also know that it's a question that everyone asks themselves at sometime or another. But what does a seven year old really know about destiny? When you come from this family, you know a lot about it. Even when you are as young as I am.
My grandfather was destined to be the 'Chosen One'. He may have strayed from his destined path. But no one is perfect and he thought that he had a good reason! But eventually he returned to it in the end. Maybe that's why he is here now. Destiny saw fit to bring him back to us and even reunite him with grandma.
As for my daddy, I would say that he was destined to reestablish the new Jedi Order and help grandpa return to the good side. No matter who has tried to prevent him from doing that, he still has come through with what he set out to do. I worry now, because so many people are blaming the Jedi for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. I just hope everything is ok in the end.
Then there is my aunt and her family. Aunt Leia was destined to follow in grandma's footsteps (as well as her adopted daddy's) and become a Senator. As for my Uncle Han, who really knows? But I what I think it is, is that he was destined to make a difference in the galaxy. And from the stories I've heard, he ahs done just that. Even if he doesn't take credit for it. As for my cousins, they are just discovering their destinies. Sure they were destined to be Jedi Knights, that's a given in this family. Look at Jacen and Jaina for example. I feel that they are both destined to play HUGE roles in this war we're in now. And so far, that's exactly what has been going on. Now for Anakin. Let's just say that he was destined to go out in a blaze of glory.
As for myself, I don't know yet. Honestly, I don't want to know. But what I see in my dreams, I can guarantee you that it is something big.
And that scares me. It scares me because I don't know what will happen. But nobody knows what will happen later in their lives. Because if people did know what would happen later in their lives, I highly doubt that my grandpa would have joined forces with the Emperor. Well maybe the Jedi Spirits that watch over me and guide me know what will happen. But still destiny is a scary thing.
Whatever my destiny is, I'm pretty sure that it's not going to be happy. There will be pain and suffering. This I know.
How do I know? I inherited something from my grandpa that some would consider a gift, but I think of it as a curse. I think my grandpa called it foresight, but all I know is that what I dream usually comes true. And my dreams aren't happy dreams.
Destiny is a cruel and unforgiving thing. And in this family, that is especially true.
