div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"I began to stir as the final bars of the last song in the credits rang through my ears. I looked through a half lidded gaze at the words as they rolled down the screen. I blinked a few times and felt something in my lap shift. I looked down and found my legs had entangled themselves in a thick blanket, undoubtedly one from one of the bunk beds. I pulled it up to my chest and looked around. Ben wasn't in sight. I assumed I fell asleep on the couch; I couldn't remember what holovid I was watching. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"I shut my eyes and sensed a presence on the ship. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""You couldn't have just called for me?" I jumped as I heard a voice from behind me. I turned around and smiled at Ben. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""How did you sleep?" He asked, stepping towards me. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""Fine, I suppose. I don't remember falling asleep" I replied. When he reached me, he gently tugged my flopping buns out from the back of my head. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""Hmm. You slept for awhile. Almost three hours." he said. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""Three hours!" I exclaimed. My hair fell and hit my shoulders. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""Yes," he laughed. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""I didn't want to disturb you. You were being very quiet." He finished. My face fell. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"Quiet. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"My mind shot back to the feeling of dread that hit me as the moon exploded, for that was the moment that I realized I had been sending the presence of every being around me without even realizing it. It wasn't brought into my conscious until all of the people around me died, until all presence was gone. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"Until my mind became quiet. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"I supposed that was what it would feel like to be on a deserted planet. One far enough in the unknown regions that you couldn't sense those on the next nearest planet very easily. Only, I was rather close. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"His brow furrowed. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""What is it?" He asked. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""Nothing. I just keep thinking about earlier." I sighed and he shook his head. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""It was either we kill them or they kill us. You know that." /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""I know, it just feels wrong. They were just doing their jobs." /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""And we were just trying to survive." /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"I pursed my lips. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""I don't want to kill anymore." I said and he laughed. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""You sound like a Jedi." He replied. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""I don't want to. I'm serious." /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""That's ok, you don't have to. I'll kill for you." He said and kissed my forehead. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""We'll be landing soon. Take everything off the ship, I'll be stowing it out of sight so we won't be able to get to it for awhile." He told me as he walked back to the cockpit. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;".../div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"I held the straps of my backpack as I shifted on the metal vent that rested next to the shuttle door. I was anxious to leave, I had never been to such a busy city as coruscant. My mind was buzzing with activity; I wanted to explore the entire planet. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"Ben told me we'd need to create new identities. It was expected. I'd agreed to keep my hair down most of the time, to throw off any onlookers. Ben would keep his hair up. I felt as though we'd switched. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"He appeared from the cockpit and smiled at me. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""Are you ready?" He asked, and I nodded. He clicked the drop button and as the door slid down, he took my hand. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;""Well, Mrs. Kenobi, welcome to Coruscant." /div
