Hey, guys! Sorry I haven't posted in like, almost three months. I was getting some writer's block at first and then I sort of forgot about this story. But I came back to it confident and ready to finish, so I'm thinking there will be at least a few more chapters until it's finished.

Chapter 6

I was in shock. Captured? My parents?

I looked at Cal with a puzzled expression on my face. "What are you even talking about?"

I could see the truth in his eyes as he spoke. "Why do you think we have a force bond, Kira? I need to help you with this. We need to work together."

I was growing more worried at the second. You could hear the persistance in my voice. "You still haven't answered my question."

He was fearful. I could sense it. Actually, I could feel it. His voice was soft as he spoke. "My dad told me. His friend wants to capture them, and he's convinced my dad to be in on it."

My heart began racing even faster. My eyes were fixed upon his. I felt anger start to build up inside of me. "Why? I need to know why! My parents never did anything!"

He sighed. "Well, I wouldn't say that."

"What do you mean?"

"Your dad."

"What about him?"

I could feel how nervous he was before he spoke. He didn't look up at me. "He murdered his family."

My heart sank. Tears started to form in my eyes. My dad wasn't a bad guy. He was my dad, after all. I loved him so much. He loved me, too. And my mom. I couldn't bear the thought of him being a villain because he wasn't. More anger rose up in me.

I looked back up at him. "What about my mom?"

His eyes were fixed on mine, although it must have been difficult to look at me while telling me this information. "She's too strong. They said they needed her too, or else she'd be able to save him somehow."

I stopped for a minute. I remembered what my parents told me about the Force. Don't give into anger. I took a deep breath, and spoke calm but firm. "Do you really think anyone would be able to capture my parents? You realize how strong they are together, right? And anyway, why should I even believe you?

There was sadness in his eyes. "I know you don't believe me Kira, but I don't want anything happening to your family. Your parents are legends. They saved the galaxy. They're good people. They don't deserve to be captured or anything like that. I want to help them. I want to help you."

Hearing that come out of his mouth made me feel good inside. I paused, took another deep breath, then spoke. "Thanks for telling me, Cal." I looked into his light blue eyes. "And thanks for caring."

I calmed myself down, then ran home.

"Mom! Dad!" I yelled as I ran into my house.

"What is it, Kira? My mom asked me.

I walked over to her. "Where's Dad?" Panic began rising in me again. I was scared, and my mom knew it.

"Kira," she said, worry in her voice. "What is it?"

"I need him." I began breathing heavily again.

She reached out to me and put her hands on my shoulders. "Kira. Calm down. Take deep breaths."

I did what she asked, but the panic in me wouldn't go away. "It's about you and Dad."

She was looking deeply into my eyes. "What about me and Dad?"

I looked right at her as I spoke. "You're going to be captured."
