Chapter 2
''Han is your father,'' Rey asked in disbelief.
''Unless Han and my mother have been lying to me for twenty years, yeah, Han is my father.''
''He never mentioned having a daughter,'' Finn said.
''When he left, I chose to stay with my mother. I saw him occasionally, but about three years ago I left the Resistance and came here. I lost contact with him after that. I don't think he knows that I'm still alive,'' Allana said, staring at the ground.
I hate to break up this moment of revelation, but we're going to have company in about a minute.
''Come with me,'' she said, ''I have a place where you can stay until the storm troopers are gone.''
She led them through the warehouse, down a dark alley, to a speeder of some kind.
''We're supposed to all fit in that,'' Poe said in shock when he saw the small vehicle.
Instead of responding, she reached into the speeder and pulled up the floor to reveal a large storage space.
''Finn, Rey, and Poe need to climb in here. Chewie will ride up front with me. BB-8 nudged her leg ''Oh right. BB-8 I need you to get in this crate. You won't fit down there with them.''
He started beeping, and Poe turned to him and said, ''I know you don't want to, but you need to get inside the box unless you want to get captured. BB-8 silently rolled into the crate as Poe, Finn, and Rey climbed into the storage compartment.
''I'll get you out as soon as we arrive,'' said Allana as she closed the hatch with a loud thump. Chewbacca lifted up the crate containing BB-8 and placed it on top. With a purr of the engine, the truck started moving.
…
An hour later, they were standing in her living room, attempting to stretch out their stiff muscles. BB-8 was beeping adamantly about how shoving him in a box for an hour was cruel and unusual punishment. Eventually Poe couldn't take it anymore. ''BB-8 why don't you go power down in the corner and get some rest.''
With a beep of annoyance he rolled into the corner and powered down.
''Thank the Force,'' Allana said as she walked into the room,'' He was staring to sound too much like C-3PO for my liking. You guys hungry? While you eat, I want to get to know you guys better.''
Poe turned to Finn and Rey, ''Translation- she is going to pressure you into telling her your whole life story. Don't bother leaving things out or lying. She always can tell if your lying.''
''I heard that,'' Allana called from the kitchen.
Poe rolled his eyes and went into the kitchen. Rey visibly gulped and under his breath Finn muttered, ''so she's just like Maz then. Great!''
Chewie shoved them gently towards the doorway, and they entered the kitchen an impressive spread of food was sitting on the counter.
''Did you make all of this,'' Rey asked, her eyes widening.
''Yes. Now eat. I'll never hear the end of it from Rajl if he found out that I didn't feed you.''
They piled their plates high with food, took them into the dining room, and had barley taken a bite when Allana said, ''Rey, tell me about yourself.''
Rey swallowed and said,'' I from Jakku. My family abandoned me there. I left that place when I met BB-8 and Finn.''
''Do you know who your parents are?''
''No,'' Rey said staring down at her plate, ''I don't remember them.''
Allana studied her and slowly nodded. ''Your turn Finn,'' she said.
''I was a storm trooper, and I have no idea who my parents are. Poe helped me escape.''
Allana looked at him oddly. ''what,'' he asked, his mouth already filled with food, ''do you want me to say more?''
''No,'' she said shaking her head, ''it's nothing. I just… I recognize you and Rey from somewhere.''
Chewie mumbled something so softly, only Allana could hear. She nodded slowly. ''I think you're right Chewie.''
''What's he right about,'' Rey asked.
''It doesn't matter. We need to talk about how this is going to go.''
''Wait a minuet,'' Finn said holding up his hand, ''Poe and Chewbacca haven't had to spill their life story for you yet.''
Poe almost spewed out his water, he laughed so hard, '' I did my time years ago buddy. I'm off the hook.''
''And I've know Chewie my whole life,'' Allana added. ''Anyways… I have two rooms where you guys will be staying. Rajl is having someone watch the ship, and he'll tell us when the storm troopers are gone. You guys will leave right when he calls, understand?''
When all of them had nodded, she continued, ''Good. I almost got caught once and I don't want to repeat that experience. I'll drop you off near the hanger, but it's up to you to get to the ship. I can't help you anymore than that without putting myself and Rajl's organization in danger.''
We understand cub. You need to stay alive. If your mother found out that you had died, she might give up.
''My mother could care less if I lived or died,'' said Allana bitterly, ''she doesn't care.''
Allana picked up the empty plates and took them into the kitchen. Poe sighed. ''I'll go talk to her,'' he said gathering up the rest of the plates.
''Hey,'' Finn said in protest, ''I wasn't done!''
''You are now,'' called Poe, over his shoulder.
They heard murmuring coming from the other room and strained their ears trying to hear their conversation. A loud bang made them jump out of their seats, and the sound of a slap followed. A fuming Allana appeared in the doorway, ''let me show you guys to your rooms.''
Poe followed her, now with a red slap mark on his cheek.
''Remind me to never to get on her bad side, ''Finn whispered to Rey.
She nodded in agreement, ''I wouldn't ever want to be on the other end of a fight with her. Even if I had my light saber, she could probably take me on with her bare hands.''
Be nice. She's been though a lot. As long as you don't over step your bounds, she'll treat you like family.
Allana opened the door to a room that had two beds in it, and a room across the hall that was identical.
''I don't care who sleeps in which room, just be ready to leave at a moments notice.''
She turned around on her heel and walked away.
''Chewie and I will take one room,'' Poe said, ''you guys can take the other. I'll see you in the morning.''
Poe and Chewie disappeared into their room, and Finn and Rey disappeared into theirs. They crawled eagerly into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
A.N. This is just a filler chapter. I wanted you guys to get a feel for Allana's personality before anything important happened. It will get more exciting in the next chapter, I promise! What do you think Allana and Chewbacca agreed on? Let me know in the comments! Please comment if you see any mistakes. Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
