"Keep working!" The Galra guard shouted. Parker winced and kept fixing the computer she had been working on for the past five hours. Her hands were blistered and she had multiple bruises from being either whipped or beaten by the Galra guards if she did something wrong.
She barely saw Sam anymore considering he was in another section of the camp. She didn't know how long she had been here. Weeks, months, years? Matt was there with her, working alongside her. Parker still didn't know where Shiro's whereabouts were, but she had faith that he was still alive. He had to be.
"Alright! Fifteen minute break!" One of the guards shouted. Parker's eyes lit up because they get this once every five hours. They were herded into the courtyard and they spotted Sam, who had started to grow a beard. Matt and Parker ran up to him and hugged him.
"I missed you two." Sam said giving them a smile. This was the first time they were able to spot him in the past five days.
"How are you doing?" Parker asked.
"Working non-stop. My hands are cramping from fixing weapons." Sam answered, then continued, "I'm glad you two are watching out each other." Parker and Matt smiled at him. They talked the remaining time then they went back to the daily routine. Soon, they were taken to their cells. Parker was separated from Matt and was alone in the cell. Parker curled up in the corner and fell asleep...
"Parker! Stop tickling me!" Her seven year old sister, Tristan, laughed trying to push Parker off her. Parker grinned and said,
"Alright, but first I have to fly you around the room on Air Parker." Parker picked Tristan up and ran around the room with Tristan on her shoulders.
She heard her eight year old brother Xavier running around the corner saying, "Me next! Me next!"
Parker put Tristan on the floor and gave Xavier a ride. A few weeks ago, she had sent her application to the Galaxy Garrison and the letter about whether or not she'd be accepted would be arriving any day now. Soon, she heard the doorbell ring. She put Xavier down and ran to the door.
"I've got a delivery for Parker Dawson." The mailman said.
"I'm Parker." Parker stated. The mailman had her sign a few things then left. Parker held the documents in her hand and opened them.
"I GOT IN! I GOT IN!" Parker screamed. Later that night, her family celebrated the accomplishment...
Parker jolted awake at the sound of an explosion. Was someone coming for them? She ran up to the window and found several people running around. She heard Matt calling out for her. How did he get out of his cell?
"Matt!" Parker yelled. Matt ran over to her cell. He held his hands over the bars of the window cell and peered into the room. Parker ran up to the bars and placed her hands around Matt's.
"The rebels are here to rescue us." Matt informed her, then turned to someone, "Can someone help me in here! My friend's in here!" Parker's eyes widened with excitement. She was going to free. Then, there was an explosion and Galra guards came marching in and started to overwhelm the rebels inside.
"We have to get going." One of the rebels ordered. She was female.
"I'm not leaving without my friend!" Matt stated. Parker realized that she wouldn't be able to go with Matt. He needed to get out of here without her. With tears running down her cheeks, she said,
"Matt, you have to go. There's no time."
"I'm not going to abandon you or my father here." Matt protested.
"You must live to fight another day, Matt. You must do this. For me. Go!" Parker begged. She let go of Matt's hands. She could see the tears in Matt's eyes as he was being led away by the rebel's. Parker looked back into her cell then collapsed onto the stone cold floor crying.
