Hera's P.O.V.
The blaster bolt hitting my neck was warm. It was was not just warm it was scalding. Blistering and scoring the skin of my neck. The blaster bolt was warm, then everything went cold.
I could hear my crew scream, as if the sounds of their voices, the noise could turn back the time. Make me faster, allow me to fully take cover before the bullets hit my skin turning it a marred shade of black.
I was falling. Softly though, as if i had just hit the water of a pool, and was now slowly sinking further and further into it's depths. It was almost peaceful really, calming to have those waves of the cold swallow me, allowing nothing more than an image of blurry light seep into my mind before everything went dark, before I went down.
Sabine P.O.V.
The image of Hera lying there, on the floor of the imperial shipping center would be burned in my brain forever.
It felt as if time had swallowed me. Locking me in place allowing me to do nothing more than stare with my mouth agape at my friend, my mother lying on the verge of death.
I then felt a tugging at the back of my mind, I needed to snap out of it. I was in a trance, a locked position of terror. I wasn't shooting, or defending myself, hell I wasn't even helping Hera. All I could feel was the dread that someone that I know and love was going to die, and they were going to die soon.
That's when I snapped out of it. I let out a shriek as I began to charge towards my fallen friend. Not caring about anything else but reaching her, making sure she was okay, making sure that I hadn't lost the only mother that I had known in a long time. "Sabine, stop", said Kanan from a distance. I ignored him. If he couldn't see how urgent of a situation this was then he didn't need to be listened too. "Sabine", I could here again this time it was from Ezra. He had a look of panic on his face like something bad was going to happen. I suddenly grew angry 'who were they to tell me what not and what to do. They aren't doing anything to help Hera, she is going to die if I don't get to her soon'.
That's when I looked up again and saw Ezra the look of panic now almost completely shading his face. "Duck", I saw his mouth form the word better than I could hear it, it took a moment for me to process the word that had come out of his mouth, a moment that I didn't have.
Everything went dark
