In this chapter, I might just blow your minds... hehehehe...
I sat on the edge of my bed. I was about to get up, when everything around me faded….
"This is Orion" Hera's voice came through, as I saw a tall man in front of me. His face was shadowed. Other men, and a girl that seemed familiar, stood with their backs to a counter.
"If I would have known, I wouldn't have let you come." That sounded like Kanan.
I saw a letter, but I couldn't make out the handwriting.
"I don't just believe, I can sense it. The old master's tale, is true. The Guardian, is real." Someone told.
What the hell is going on? I thought.
Ezra and I stood in an alley, we were waiting for something. Then I felt as if I had to keep myself from running, as I stormed down another alley…
My eyes flew open, as I sucked in a startled breath. It was easier to walk, now that my ribs were mostly healed, but my burns weren't. I walked out of my room, and went to the lounge. Kanan had just started to explain that we were going to meet a new ally, so I leaned against the door frame. He and Hera will be the first two to go in, just in case. Zeb and Sabine would be in an alley close to the door, to keep the place clear, even though some people will already be there. I knew it was so we had a chance to get away if the empire was involved.
"Do you think you're up for it?" Kanan asked looking at the three in front of him, but he aimed it toward me.
"Typical. Of course you have me do that Haken." The word slipped out from habit. When Kanan looked over at me, I bit my lip, and looked away sadly.
Damn it. I sucked in a breath, fighting my emotions as my throat burned with tears from the thought of my uncle. Don't think. Don't thing. Damn it. Don't think.
I bit my tongue, and swiftly recovered. I looked over to see Kanan's expression lined with worry. I sucked it up and gave him a look.
"Don't tell me you're gonna give me that pity crap now." I stood up, and rolled my eyes. "One time. One damn time." Hera gave me a look. " I almost brake something, and everyone decides I can't do anything." I bit my tongue, holding back a laugh. A strip of my bangs slid in front of my face. I angrily blew it away, and it landed over my right eye. I left it, and turned back to kanan, pointing a finger at him. "Drop it. I ain't crippled. Even if I was, you better be praying you hold onto somethin' tightly, because I'd still have enough fight left to drag you all down with me." Kanan smiled a little. I changed my stance, getting more serious. I stood as tall as I could, looking in front of me. "I'm a fighter." I looked Kanan in the eye. "Not a quitter." I looked at everyone, before returning my gaze to Kanan, as I said, "even if I could hardly stand on my own. If anyone in this room needed help. I'll be there. You can count on that."
It wasn't very long before Ezra, and I waited in an alley. If i walked to the end, I could see where Zeb and Sabine were, but I stayed next to Ezra. It had been quiet, a little too quiet for my liking, so I tapped my foot. Ezra looked at me.
"Really?"
"I didn't say I was patient." I stated. I know getting the feeling that Hera and Kanan didn't fully trust these people. Not even Ahsoka. I kept my guard up. I had my suspicions too. Then someone came toward us.
"Okay kids, you had your fun. Now beat it." He demanded.
I set my jaw. "Who died and let a jerk like you own this alley? We have a purpose, unlike you, to be here." I snapped. I had other names, but I really didn't want Ezra to pick up that it was okay to curse. Hera and Kanan would skin him alive.
"What would you parent's say if they heard you talk like that?" He asked rudely. A year ago, I'd be convinced that this guy had a death wish. I woulda helped him out with that too. A warning, that' what he needs.
"They'd be cheering me on. But first you need to consider those who don't have parents." My tone gave him all the warning he needed. I could slightly hear Kanan talking. "So, since apparently you have somewhere to be, what don't you quit wasting my time, and get out of my way." I spat. I gave him an option. He didn't take it, so I shouldered my way past him and Ezra followed me. I looked at the end of the alley, to see Kanan giving me a look. We walked with him to a back door. Zeb, and Sabine walked in first. I spotted someone Hera and Ahsoka were talking to, as he looked over out of the corner of my eye.
"It was just a discussion thats all. I wouldn't have done anything more, so calm down, Haken." I purposely added the last part, and bit my tongue.
"Alright. You need to calm down. Allia." Kanan did the same. That was when I spotted a friendly face, Alsia.
I looked back at Ezra. "Old times." I smiled.
"Old times." He echoed.
Then Ahsoka, Hera, and the man walked over to us.
"Ghost, this is Orion Kain, as he goes by." He nodded to us.
"What I was about to say, Ahsoka, is that I don't just believe it. I can sense it." Kanan looked from Ahsoka, back to Orion. "The old master's tale. Is true. The Guardian, is real."
"Guardian?" Sabine questioned.
"Yes. There was already one at the time of the Republic, but there was a tale that another one shall arise in his place. The Guardian of hope, some would say. They bear the symbol that means protector, and hope." Orion explained.
"One who is explained as a person who would protect the innocent and those they hold close alike, just as natural as breathing. A leader, who takes in those who need them. No one knows the Guardian's true identity, since they haven't come out, or. Isn't true." Kanan gave Orion a stern look.
"Master Yoda had a vision about the Guardian. He said they wore the scars of each battle, and that the masters that have passed watch over them. That the Guardian walks with the dark side. Marches in the armor of the stormtroopers, but keeps h- their loyalty along the Jedi. This person guards a new hope, and ensures the future of the Jedi." Ahsoka finished. I sensed that she knew more than what she was letting on, but no one else seemed to though. I felt eyes on me, and I looked over to see Orion looking at me.
"Come here." He lifted his chin a little. I glanced at Kanan, and he gave a cautious look, as I slowly stepped forward, and over to Orion. He started to walk around me, and I moved away. Keeping the distance, I stopped facing Ghost. I wasn't about to have my back to them. Orion stopped in front of me. I could see his dark blue eyes, had a light tint of amber. His short, dark brown hair, had a golden tint to it, along with a few grey hairs. It was closely shaved, making it almost spiky. His sideburns had a little more gold tint, as they stopped before halfway by his ears. Above his mouth, and around his chin was a little scruffy.
"Smart girl." He complimented. I didn't notice till now how deep his voice was. Then my bangs fell over my right eye. Orion placed a hand on my shoulder. Out of nowhere, he kneeled down, and wrapped his arms around me. My eyes widened a little, surprised. I looked over to Kanan and Hera. Even at Ahsoka, as if either of them had an answer. They didn't.
"I finally found you." I heard Orion mumble. I was confused, for no reason, but I didn't want to come to the conclusion I knew it would. Then he stood and faced everyone from Ghost. A hand still on my shoulder. "The name's Prine. Orin Prine." Kanan and Ahsoka's eyes grew wide, as I gulped.
Please don't say it, please don't say it. I hoped.
"And I'm happy to announce," he turned to his own crew. "Today is the day we meet new allies. Today I meet my daughter!"
I froze
