Chapter four
Hello! Back with yet another chapter for the fanfics "Lost but found!" anyways, I just way to let people know this chapter moves quickly, so bear with me! Enjoy!
Sierra's P.O.V
"Sierra! There you are, you have no idea how worried I've been!" Sierra wrapped her arms around Korkie as he embraced her in a hug. "I'm alright, Korkie." Her cousin smiled, but kept looking at her arms. "There's a rumor that you sent James to the emergency room!" She sighed. Her cousin Korkie was famous, famous for picking up the gossip around school. Of course, he never spread it, he was too kind hearted for that, but when gossip hit, especially about her, he was always the one to tell her about it. "Well, it's true. It wasn't even my fault!" He patted her on the back, and they sat down on the bench. "It's alright. Some people actually though it was really funny!" He was always the optimist, even as kids. The pair had grown up together, and they were best friends. "We'll see who's laughing when the principal finds me. I ran out on him yesterday." Korkie just snorted. "Maybe I'll get detention too, that way you won't be so alone." She smiled, and punched him lightly in the arm. "Thanks, but the principal would see through that like glass." He laughed, and the two continued to make each other laugh, until the principal arrived. "Ms. Kryze, you and I both know why I'm here. If we could make this quick and painless, I would very much appreciate it." She hugged Korkie goodbye, and headed for the detention room. This isn't so bad; she thought to herself, I can just be alone with my thoughts. She waited until the end bell, until she heard a loud explosion. She burst out of the room, and saw people in a panicked frenzy. She saw Korkie, and ran to him. "What was that?" He looked terrified. "I don't know, I think it was just a gas leak or something." They stood, looking into each other's terrified eyes, until another explosion went off, much closer to them. Korkie tackled her to the ground, and used his body to shield her from debris. "We need to get out of here!" He shouted over the terrified screams, but she didn't hear him. He grabbed her hand, and pulled her out of the hallway. They hid in a storage room, until she saw somebody coming, nobody she knew. The door opened, and Korkie pushed her down, and his fist went flying at the intruder. Unfortunately, it was James. And worse, Korkie missed. "Well, who do we have here?" James punched Korkie, and he fell to the floor. "Korkie! I'll kill you James!" Sierra leapt at James, and wrestled him to the ground. James reached up, and pushed a button, and the whole wall next to them collapsed. "It was you! You bombed the school!" James held her down, while she writhed and twisted beneath him. "That's right, rebel scum. Death watch is more powerful than ever, and the rebels will be crushed, starting with you." He had his hands on her throat, and she started choking. Before she lost consciousness, she pushed with all of her might, and got her hand free. She picked him up by the throat, and pushed him. He stumbled backwards, until he fell out of the five story hole he had made in the building. She ran to Korkie. Sierra put her arm under his shoulder, and helped him to his feet. A moment later, she saw a blue light coming towards them through the dust filled hallway. She cowered in fear, until she saw the lightsaber de-ignite. "Are you alright?" She tried to answer, but was struggling to breathe through the debris, and she was falling under the weight of Korkie. He ran to her, and helped her set Korkie down. She was coughing, and James had done some slight damage to her throat. He motioned for her to lie down, and he helped her down. He felt with delicate fingers around her throat, while she struggled to breathe. "Nothing appears to be broken. Can you speak?" Sierra weakly lifted her head, weak from the lack of oxygen. "I... can't bre- breathe… "He nodded to let her know he was helping, and picked her up. "Wait... Korkie..." She couldn't speak, and was sure she was dying. "Don't worry, they'll get him." He shushed her gently, willing her to save her strength. She felt warm and secure in his strong arms, and recalled a feeling almost exactly the same. But it lasted only a second, because he then jumped out of the hole in the wall. He set her down on the sidewalk, and waited for the ambulance. She took a shaky breath, a little clearer because of the lack of debris, but she still couldn't stop hyperventilating. She looked over and saw James on the ground, dead. "Oh...oh no, I-I killed him... I'm a murderer!" The Jedi sat down next to her, and was helping her breathe. "Just take a deep breath, in, and out. Just calm down... You're safe now." The ambulance arrived, and one of the Mandalorian paramedics gave her an oxygen mask. While she breathed, he paramedics felt around her throat. The Jedi had explained what had happened, and soon she could speak again. Something about this Jedi was so... familiar.
