The sun slowly began to set painting warm pinks and cool oranges in the dark night sky. The hustle and bustle of the Mos Espa markets had long gone; tradesmen had packed up and left the streets empty; only trails of sandy footprints and the odd empty box proved life existed in this town. A sandstorm had started to brew in little time the once dry winds had been turned thick and sand filled howling and whistling round every corner. Only a fool would chose to venture out in this weather, but along a dark alleyway a hooded figure could be seen stumbling thought the sand. The storm gradually began to die off; the hooded figure unfazed began to carry on walking.
As the silver moon fought through the clouds a single silver ray shot down illuminating this mysterious figure. She was wearing a black hooded cloak, quite similar to that of a sith attire, yet she was no sith. The stars shone down on her pale face, highlighting her chocolate brown hair as she walked along the sandy streets. She sighed as she looked around at all the closed doors "There's no place like home" The truth was she didn't have a home, well not here. Ever since something had happened, something so terrible her mind blanked it out no matter how hard she tried to remember it. She just remembered waking up her alone.
She looked through the remaining boxes and pulled out a browny red looking stick and bit into it. "Ewwww" she replied scrunching up her face and spitting it out "I hate chokey" she carried on walking pulling her cloak tighter as the night's biting cold settle in. She looked up at the bright stars as they blazed in the sky; she smiled and looked around then noticed a little animal scuttling around under her feet.
"Hey little Feller" she said softly as she picked the creature up. "Isn't it a nice night?" the animal looked at her in shock before it jumped out of her hand and ran away as fast as it could making her laugh. Just as she stop laughing she felt something wet fall on the back of her hand making her frown. "For star's sake, must I encounter every weather under the sun today?" she cried and pulled up her hood as several drops of rain were followed by a continuous rainfall. Transforming the newly powered sand into a thick sludge. She began to run down the street, splashing into the sludge puddles getting her clothes soaked and her boots caked in mud. She turned the corner to fast and slipped landing on her knees into the muddy, sandy mixture on the floor. She shook her head, sighing she got up and looked down she was completely coated in mud from head to toe. "Oh no, I need to meet Tom" he exclaimed she ran down the street until she reached a bar. Walking in she was greeted by the familiar noise & chatter that couldn't help but make her smile. She listened to the band finish their song before walking over to the bar.
The bartender looked her up and down and trying to keep a straight face he remarked "Hey Kimmy, trying to make another fashion statement?" She shook her head and smiled through gritted teeth, "Very funny, jury juice please so what's the news Tom?" she asked as she sat down. The young boy of 21 or so flicked back his blonde hair and winked at her with his emerald green eyes. "Have I got a story for you!" He replied setting down her drink, she drunk some letting the liquid slowly slide down her throat tingling as it warmed her neck. She finished it and replied "Don't you always?" he smiled and refilled her drink, "Well, I heard from a traveller who got drunk, that the sith have started to build a huge army and are planning to take over the whole universe in one war! Anyway as you might imagine the Jedi aren't too happy about that and apparently they are seeking out some girl! And this girl is they're only hope to stop the war before it even begins!" he stopped and smiled at the look on her face. "Wow, who's the girl?" she replied taking the drink. He looked around to make sure no-one was listening and she did the same to mock him.
"You!" She laughed.
"No, really who is it?" he looked at her his face full of seriousness.
"Kimmy, it is YOU, there is 2 Jedi coming to find you as we speak!"
That's chapter 1 for now! More coming…
