Chapter 3

Aviana

Planet Jakku

I carefully landed the ship that wasn't too far from the small village. Before I landed, I contacted Jessika to let her know I was okay. Once I did that, I'd shut down communication so I wouldn't have to be bothered with any more questions than I need it.

As much as I love my mother and Aunt Leia, the less they know, the better off right now. I couldn't just sit by and let this get forgotten.

I had to do this.

I hope they won't be too mad when I get back once I find Poe and Bee-Bee.

Once the hatch opened up above me, I took off my helmet and climbed out of the ship. The sun was beaming down and I can feel the heat of it.

I'd forgotten how god awful this place is from what stories I was told.

Going back to the mission, I took my jacket off and placed it in the cockpit of the ship since already I was feeling hot. As I made my way down, I took a look around quick before I jogged over towards the village. It was way too quiet and I took this as a bad sign.

I wasn't sure what to expect at this point.

By the time I got to the village, I almost cried out in shock.

In front of me, people were lying on the ground not moving. The huts were destroyed. Some stood while most were burned to the ground.

But the villagers.

They were dead.

I ran over to where Lor San Tekka lied. The fact that he was dead in front of me was all too surreal. I saw that he was slashed with a lightsaber and I had a hunch as to who it belonged to.

Ben.

Or Kylo Ren as he called himself.

No I refuse to acknowledge him as that. Even after what he's done.

"Oh my kriff no," I said, as I felt tears threatening to fall from my face.

How could this have happened?

Those people didn't deserve to die.

How could he have done this?

I remember being around 11. My cousin Ben was living with me and my parents since he was going to the Jedi Academy at the time. We were close and though I knew he was different, he always felt like he was the outcast of the family.

Had I would've known what he was going through, I would've tried to help him out. But what did I know? I was only a kid years ago.

Flashback

16 years ago

I closed the door to Ben's room. I know it was late and he and I were having our late night chat rituals. I couldn't sleep and I knew that

"Luke do you think it's a good idea?" my mother's voice said softly from the living room.

"I want to help him but the students...they've been telling me things about Ben and they weren't so nice," my father said in a weary voice.

"Have you tried to listen to them?"

"Of course I did. Why would you think different?"

"Sweetie I get this is frustrating but snapping at me won't help either," mom said.

I heard Dad sighed heavily as I also heard him moving around. He tends to pace when he's nervous. But I don't understand what's there to be nervous about.

"I'm sorry. I just don't want to let Leia and Han down. They did trust me with their son," Dad said.

"I know but he and Avi have been close. You've seen them when they were young," Mom pointed out. "And whatever happens we will face it as a family no matter what. For better or worse."

"How on kriff did I ever get so lucky to deserve you?" Dad asked.

"I've asked myself the same thing. I love you," Mom said.

"And I love you my angel," Dad said.

Okay this was getting gross and awkward.

As I went to my room for bed, I took one last look at Ben's room. Without distrubing him, I went into my room and fell asleep.

End of flashback

Wiping the tears that were falling my face, I stood up from my spot and took a look around. The village was too quiet for my taste. I didn't know where to start looking hell who can I find in this junkyard of a planet?

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something.

There was a track not far from where I was standing. I jogged over there and not daring to go in it's path, I studied it. The path was smooth and it was as if this was new.

Maybe...

Bee-Bee could be still be here!

I mean not in this part of the planet particularly but he has to be here.

With a strong set of determination, I took off in the direction where Bee could've went.

-LINE BREAK-

I don't know how long I was walking.

I don't know what time of the day it is.

Hell, I wasn't sure if I was going in the right direction.

Then again there was no civilization in sight.

The sun was beating so hard down on me as I looked around. All I can see in sight was nothing. No human or creature for that matter. All I saw was sand everywhere.

I dropped to my knees in exhaustion. Of course I was dumb enough to not bring enough water. I was exxhausted but I needed to keep going somehow.

Even if it killed me.

I was about to get up when I heard someone trying to catch their breath. Immediately, my hand went towards my blaster. I spun around and a man stood in front of me scared. He was dressed head to toe in a black shirt, pants and grey boots. He was dark skinned and was sweating as he tried to catch his breath.

I raised my blaster as I stood my ground. He looked stunned but I wasn't taking a chance.

"Stand your ground and don't move," I seethed at the man in front of me.

"Whoa, whoa don't shoot," he said, holding his hands up.

"Why do you have that jacket?" I asked, motioning towards Poe's jacket he was carrying.

"I found it," the man explained. "When we crashed way far off trying to escape..."

"Wait, was there a man name Poe with you?"

"Yeah, I helped him escape from the first order," he replied.

"Well where is he?" I asked, dreading to know the answer.

"I don't know. We crashed here and I couldn't find him. I'm sorry," he replied.

No. No there was no possible way Poe could be dead. I would've known somehow or something. At least I knew that he escaped.

"Where were you heading?" I asked, lowering my weapon.

"To find his droid. He mentioned something about his droid and a map to Luke Skywalker..."

"Wait, I'm looking for them too. Well the droid and Poe but since Poe isn't here," I said.

"Let me come with you, please," the man said.

"Why should I?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because I'm escaping from the First Order. Any moment they could find me and if they know I'm with you then we're both done for," he replied.

"Okay," I said, without thinking twice. "Let's go. How so ever, any funny business from you, we'll have problems believe me."

"I won't do anything stupid," he said. "I'm Finn."

"Aviana," I said.

I motioned Finn and together we both headed in the same direction.

-LINE BREAK-

"Nima Out Post," I said once we made it; out of breath.

"Water...water..." Finn was saying as we made it closer.

I looked around, trying to find Bee as Fin rushed over towards a fountain not far away. He tripped over a creature which grunted in irritation and he drank the water as if it was his life depended on it.

I wouldn't blame him since we were out in the heat after all.

"So how is it where going to find this droid of yours?" Finn asked.

"Oh he's round, orange and white. Has a bit of a personality but not harmful," I replied, looking around.

Before I had the chance to say anything else, I saw a familiar circular looking object not far from us. I saw that it was standing next to a girl with dark brown hair; which was done up in three buns, wearing grey and white clothing and brown boots. She was holding a staff as she knelt down to...Bee.

Oh my kriff.

"Finn, I think we found him," I said with a grin.

"What?" he asked standing up.

Finn walked past me and crouched down near the back of a stall. He spied on Bee and the girl but not before the girl looked up and stared right into our direction. I couldn't tell but it looked like she wanted to go after us.

Then she stood up and ran towards us.

Oh crap.

A/n Happy Force Awakens Friday! Yeah I need to work on that but this story will be updated every Friday (unless otherwise noted) for now on.

In other news, hope you liked Aviana's and Finn's meeting. Like I said earlier, I want to do this a bit different from the other stories I've read (no worries I still love them regardless!) so I hope you liked this one.

Leave me some love on the way out! I can't thank you all enough for your support and hope to see you all next Friday!

Until next week,
Vicky
