Chapter 12: Angles In All Of Us
The last thing Riley remembered was getting knocked out, he didn't know where he was now. He looked around and figured out it was a cell, probably on a star destroyer. Not long after he woke, the apprentice walked into the cell. He could see more of her appearance, her wings were black but slowly turned into a shade of red towards the bottom. Her hair was a darker blue than Ezra's but had red and purple highlights in a sort of fire pattern. She had blue eyes like Ezra's with a mix of gold and was wearing black lipstick.
"You're finally awake" the girl smirked. "You've been out for a couple hours"
"Sorry to keep you waiting" Riley slowly picked himself up from of the ground.
"Don't worry, I'll just extend the interrogation" the girl walked out of the room while two troopers walked in and grabbed Riley.
Riley willingly walked to the interrogation with the troopers, he needed his strength to last as long as he can without breaking. When he arrived, they strapped him to a table, the apprentice motioned for the troopers to leave. When they left, the girl walked over to a tray covered with tools.
"I want answers and you have them" she walked over to Riley and removed his straps. "How do you know Ezra?"
"I'm guessing you knew him" Riley scanned the room for any escape routes, there were none.
"We were close" the girl activated her red lightsaber. "My name is Shadow, what's yours?"
"Which one?" Riley hissed when Shadow slashed his arm.
"Just answer the question" Shadow started doing circles around Riley.
"I'm known by a lot of things" she slashed him again.
"I'm trying to be nice" Shadow started to grow impatient.
"Funny way of showing it" Riley looked at a datapad on the table with the tools. "You know everything about me"
"How do you know that?" Shadow followed Riley's gaze. "I know what's on that file, not all of it is true"
"True, why do you say that?" Riley was curious, Imperials usually believe what they're told.
"Because I know the Empire lies" she slashed Riley again. "How do you know Ezra?"
"We're friends" Riley saw something familiar with her but couldn't put his finger on it. "How do you know him?"
"I abandoned him" Shadow felt her heart drop when she said that. "I want to see him again"
"And you want my help?" Riley looked at his hands. "Why should I help you?"
Shadow grabbed Riley by the throat and threw him into the wall, she only tightened the grip around his neck. "Stop playing games! If you want to live then you'd help"
"If I wanted…to live then I wouldn't…have fought you in the first…place" Riley struggled to say.
"Just help me" Shadow released the grip and Riley fell to the ground. "I can't tell you why?"
"I understand, but maybe we should wait until we reach a planet or my next transfer" Riley stood up and grabbed Shadows arm.
"Don't touch me" she snapped.
"I can only help if you talk" Riley let go and sat on the table.
"I'll talk if you do" Shadow deactivated her lightsaber and put it on her belt.
"I know Ezra because my sister is part of his crew, they rescued me from a star destroyer once" Riley pulled out a picture of the crew from his pocket.
"He's grown" Shadow said from behind Riley, making him jump. "I'm his sister"
"There we go" Riley handed the picture to Shadow. "I never heard anything about you"
"I know why" Shadow was about to cry at the memory of the day she left, but stopped herself from looking weak. "He'll never forgive me, I was always dark and always will be"
"Even in the most extreme darkness, there will be light" Riley said as he looked as Shadow.
"What does that mean?" Shadow handed the picture back and sat down next to Riley.
"It means they cannot exist without each other" Riley looked at the picture one last time before putting it back, he then nudge Shadow. "You'll become light again"
"And what make you think that?" Shadow put her head in her hands.
"Because you didn't kill me yet" Riley looked at the door as a bird flew through.
"Midnight!" Shadow jumped up and caught the bird. "I told you to stay in my room!"
"Nice looking bird" Riley complimented, the bird was black with a purple head and tail feathers, red streaks on her wings and an orange beak. "Where's your master?"
"He's away chasing the rebels, I get to interrogate you since you're my catch. And thanks." Shadow realised what happened. "No no no, you've made me weak!"
"What did I do?" Riley held his hands up in defence.
"I don't know but you've done it" Shadow looked at Riley, what did you do?!"
"Calm down, I think you might have just got comfortable" Riley looked at Shadow and realised something. "I've never had a friend like you"
"I've never had a friend and what do you mean by 'like me?' How am I different?" Shadow looked at the data pad.
"You're so easily angered yet you haven't tortured me, why? And don't say to find Ezra" Riley moved towards the door.
"I don't know, but I don't like it" Shadow saw Riley stand by the door. "Where are you going?"
"We're done here" Riley pressed the button and walked out the door with Shadow close behind.
"That was quick" one of the two troopers said.
"He cooperated well, we'll continue tomorrow" Shadow walked down the opposite hallway as Riley, she wanted answers on him.
With the Ghost crew
"Anne, come on out" Moon was sat by Anne's bedroom door on the Ghost. "We're here"
"Still no luck" Hera asked approaching.
"No" Moon stood up and hugged Hera. "Thanks for taking me"
"It fine" Hera was surprised by the sudden grip around her. "How did you leave your family so easily?"
"My parents are dead" Moon let go and sat down again. "I live with my uncle, he never really had any time for me"
"We've all had rough pasts" Hera jumped when the door slide open and Anne ran to the bathroom. "What's wrong?"
"I don't feel so well" Anne replied lowly. "I've been feeling like this since he heard Riley…"
"You don't have to say it" Hera walked into the bathroom. "Just come with us Anne"
"Fine" Anne didn't throw up but felt close. "Just give me a minute"
"Sure" Hera walked away from the bathroom, she walked into Moon who had a dark purple box in her hands.
"What's this?" Moon asked as she was about to open it.
"Don't!" Hera practically snatched it from Moon. "Sorry, we got this from Riley to open for when he dies"
"Sorry, has anyone opened theirs yet" Moon asked. "Since you know"
"He's not dead" Anne shouted. "He can't be dead"
"I didn't mean to say that" Moon saw Anne's depressed face for a second before she walked to the airlock.
"Let's just get there" Anne pressed a few buttons, the airlock then poofed open.
Anne saw a large hanger, it was empty but Fulcrum said she would spare as many as she could. Anne walked down the steps and walked towards the quarters, she counted 45 doors before reaching her own room. When Anne entered the code, the door opened quickly allowing Anne to see the room. It had a double bed in the middle of the end wall, a study desk to the left and another door to the right. Anne noticed some pictures and paintings placed around the room.
"I hope you like them" a sweet voice said from behind Anne, making her jump.
"What?" Anne turned to see Sabine and Snow. "He can't be can he?"
Sabine pushed Anne into the room with Snow close behind, they sat on the bed in silence before Snow broke the silence.
"No" Snow looked at all the pictures she placed around the room. "He's strong"
"Yeah" Sabine laid down. "But is he strong enough?"
"We can't think like that" Anne started to cry. "He'll come back like he promised"
"But will he be Riley?" Sabine's voice got quieter.
"If he isn't then we'll get him back" Snow said standing up.
"But will he try to kill us?" Sabine saw Anne jump up.
"Will you stop talking like that?!" Anne snapped. "You're not helping us at all!"
"Anne" Snow tried to hug her put Anne pushed her back and ran away. "Anne!"
"Leave her" Ezra walked through the door and laid next to Sabine. "She needs to cool off"
"We need to find Riley" Snow found a picture of Riley when he was a kid. "What was he like when he was young?"
"He was funny really" Sabine sat up and saw the picture, Riley was with Sabine outside of their house at night. They use to sneak away to do something fun, only that time they were caught. "Confusing"
"How?" Ezra asked lightly.
"He would always protect people, help them or even just talk to them about things" Sabine laid back down. "Yet he didn't look after himself, which was the kind of person I wanted to be"
"I've told Anne this before and she always replied with" Sabine stopped when she walked through the door again.
"Like the heroes in the books" Anne ran to Sabine and they hugged each other. "I never wanted to go to that academy"
"But I'm glad you did" Sabine saw Snow and Ezra leave. "You're my best friend"
"And you're mine" Anne laughed. "Let's find him together"
"Like old times" Sabine laughed along.
They both spent the rest of the day talking, Sabine enjoyed it but occasionally there would be some reminder that Riley wasn't there with them. Anne wanted to go on missions with them all the time, Hera agreed but told her that she'd have to be careful. Anne knew what Hera meant which put her in a bad mood, Riley was never careful yet he always made it through. They would see each other soon, but when and how?
