This was edited on December 16, 2017 and I hope you enjoy the rewrite. I was trying to add more detail.
Although he tried going to bed quite early, he could not sleep a wink so far. Each time he attempted to do so, terrifying visions would return to him and cause him to wake up even more. Deciding that he was going nuts by staying in his room, he wrapped a cloak around his body and left the building. He went outside and down the path once more. He distracted himself with the bright night sky filled to the brim with stars and the multiple moons.
When Ben arrived at the fork in the road, Ben decided to explore this trail. He recalled that Lirri said it was a place to swim and felt that this would be the ideal place to relax in peace. Ben followed the steps as he soon arrived, but noticed a dark figure sitting on the log. His throat tensed, walking closer quite slowly. He was worried it would be the man but relaxed upon seeing Lirri.
She was leaning over, and rummaging through her bag without looking up towards Ben. He was quiet as he stood behind him before deciding to move and sit beside her.
Ben glanced over as he greeted her quietly as she finally glanced over. Her brain took a moment before she yelped and jumped from the figure beside her that was suddenly there.
"What in the heck Ben!" Lirri breathed out as she held one hand over her heart as the other hand went on Ben's upper arm. "You startled me. When did you get here?" she questioned as she moved her other hand to shut the bag. This made Ben raise a brow but he shook it off.
"I just arrived actually. I couldn't get to sleep." Ben answered as his eyes looked down to the hand staying on his arms. His face heated up as he asked. "What about you?"
"There are these herbs that are great for anxiety and restlessness. They glow in the dark so finding them at night is the easiest." She gave him a small smile and looking up to the night sky.
She took her arm back to cross her arms over her chest while staring up with wide eyes of wonder and a smile. "It's a great night to be out at least."
Ben kept looking at her as he thought about her smile as intoxicating, not realizing that he began to smile along with her. "I still find it amazing to think about how many lives in the galaxy. All going about their business and having their own thoughts and opinions. There are so many planets we've never been too before and perhaps planets that haven't been discovered yet." She spoke softly about this before the two rested in the comfortable silence between the two of them.
He occasionally looked over at Lirri as they stared at the stars. He could see that her sweater wasn't doing the job as she was shivering a bit since the evening was much cooler than the day. He went with his gut reaction as he scooted closer beside Lirri as he wrapped his one arm over her shoulders, the cloak he wore fell around the two of them. Lirri stiffened for just a moment upon Ben's touch before she relaxed against his touch. His heart sped up a bit, but he remained silent. After a few minutes, Lirri rested her head on Ben's shoulder, with her arm wrapping around his waist as the two watched the stars.
They stayed for an hour later as they watched the stars, but his own eyelids were beginning to grow heavy. His head was even heavy as he rested his head against Lirri's. Ben figured it'd be okay to shut his eyes for just a moment, take a moment's rest before heading towards the building again.
Where Ben was now was dark outside with a heavy rain. He wasn't sure how it started raining so heavily, but it made the ground get quite muddy. Ben glanced around as he noticed that his vision was quite different. His face was covered in a mask that impaired some of his vision. Why was he wearing a mask? Ben questioned to himself as he glanced around. There was bodies strewn about on the ground in front of him. The faces and surroundings looked familiar. It came to Ben suddenly that these were a slightly older version of some of the other Padawan's.
Ben glanced behind him as he noticed other figures in dark cloaks behind him.
A grey cloud encircled him before the images around him suddenly changed. It was a purely metal room, with a chair in the centre. On the chair, there was cuffs for the head, hands and feet. The doors to his left opened as a woman was dragged in that was clearly unconscious by the way she was limp in the men's arms. As she was set in the chair, Ben's gut twisted as he recognized Lirri. Bruised and cuts tattered her skin, it looked as if her eye was swollen shut. She looked a bit different as Ben walked closer. Gone was the baby fat from her face, with her hair longer to her shoulders that seemed darker. Her body was shaped as that more of an adult's with a pear shaped body.
Her head shot up as she gasped with her eyes as wide as she possibly could. Lirri's voice shook with fear as she whispered. "You…" She leaned her head back away from Ben's hand as it was instinctively drew closer to her face. A downpour of tears streamed down her face as she began screaming at him. "What happened to Ben? WHAT DID YOU DO TO BEN?!" Her body thrashed as Ben felt his other hand shoot upwards as Lirri's screaming began shallow gasps and noises as her head was awkwardly leaning back now. She wiggled a bit as she was being Force Choked.
Ben shot awake as he fell forward onto the sand gasping. Lirri immediately awoke from the startling movement beside him. She dropped to the ground beside him as she grabbed his hands. "Ben," she began as she saying his name. "Ben, look at me."
Terrified eyes connected with Lirri's green eyes as his breathing slowed down. Her eyes were pure of focus as she got him to count with her, although he barely registered saying the numbers with her.
When he finally calmed down, he pulled her tightly into his arms as he buried his face into her neck. Ben's eyes stung with the urge to cry as he held on for dear life. Lirri was okay.
Lirri hugged back onto him as he whispered to him quietly reassuring statements.
Finally, he let go of Lirri. "Maybe we should head back." His voice was quiet with low energy. Lirri nodded as she stood up and placed her bag over her one shoulder. The walk up the trail was almost an awkward silence. Ben was unsure what to say and just wanted to distract his mind.
"Ben," Lirri softly began to speak, her voice full of concern and worry. "I know it may be tough and we are still new friends, but if you need to talk about your nightmares or want to try something to help you sleep, just tell me." She had made a mental note to keep track of it in case he was drastically changing. "You can trust me not to tell the others and I won't be upset if you wake me for that."
It worried Lirri that he was having the nightmares. She knew it was far from the simple things involving dreams of being chased, no this was the dreams of seeing something horrible like a vision of the future.
