Chapter 9, "Hideout."
POV: Jason
We ran past rubble and debris as we followed this girl, "Where are we going?!" Ghost yelled to me. "I don't know!" I yelled back.
As we were running the girl disappeared into the side of the wall. Before I could completely run past it I quickly grabbed onto the edge then grabbed Ghost's hand and pulled us both into the corridor where the girl went.
The girl looked back to see if we were behind her then beckoned us to come to her. She then jumped down where the corridor ended. Ghost look at me and said, "After you.".
I jumped down to find the girl running towards what seemed to be her home. "Hold on!" I yelled chasing after her. "Yeah! Why don't you!" Ghost called after me, getting left behind.
I made it to the house and walked in the door. It was relatively small, a home most likely made for a single person. The girl was nowhere to be found.
I walked over to a desk and picked up a book labeled, "
Tanoda Skyka" I was about to open it when I heard a voice behind me, "What are you doing?!" I turned to see the girl staring at me.
She walked up to me an snatched the book from my hands. "Your diary? Also you speak english?" I asked the girl. She opened a drawer and put her book in, but before she could close it I caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a lightsaber.
"What does it matter to you? And yes I can speak in basic, I just don't so the stormtroopers don't ask me questions." She said in an annoyed tone.
"I guess it doesn't matter. I'm Jason. I'm assuming you're Tanoda?" I said sticking out my hand for a handshake. She smacked away my hand and said "
What are you? You're wearing purge trooper, but storm troopers were shooting at you!".
I was still proccesing her smacking away my hand.
Abrasive… familiar. I thought to myself. "We- Are traitors to the empire." Ghost said walking into the room.
I looked at her and nodded towards Ghost agreeing with him. "So you betrayed the empire..." She said in a skeptical voice.
"Well you don't have to believe us but our leader sent us to find a jedi artifact in an ancient jedi temple, so if you would happen to know where it is we would like to know." Ghost said, walking over to me and putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Why would I tell you if I don't have to trust you?" Skyka asked, with a confused look on here face. Ghost paused, turned to me, and whispered in my ear, "I kriffed up, The kid's a smartass, go convince her." he patted my shoulder.
I sighed and shook my head. "Skyka, please we need your help." I knelt down putting all my weapons on the floor. I nodded to Ghost to do the same.
He put his blaster in front of him and knelt.
"Get up this is embarrassing… Follow me." She said walking passed us, she stopped and turned around and stretched her hand out to the desk. I looked at her while Ghost looked back and forth between her and the desk. The desk started to shake until suddenly it released her lightsaber, with it coming flying back at her she caught it, turned and walked away.
"Impressive!" I stated. "I've seen Sephi do better…" Ghost said apathetically. I turned to him and said "She's like 13…" I walked off.
Ghost stood in the doorway, Shrugged his shoulders and said "So was Sephi." He then jogged to catch up with us.
