5. "They can't hurt you anymore."

6. "I love you."

I could feel the pain in my feet as I ran through the streets and pushed people out of the way. I could barely catch my breath as I felt the pain the blaster had caused from hitting me in my side. I heard yelling and kept running to scared that they would catch me. I made it pass a alley way and before I could continue I was grabbed and pulled inside. I went to scream but a furry hand stopped me. I looked and saw a Lasat holding a finger to his mouth.

"Shh." He whispered.

I nodded my head and watched as the troopers passed us. I let out a sigh of relief as he held me to his chest.

"You alright?" He asked softly.

I shook my head no as the world started to spin and I passed out in his arms. When I woke up I woke up with a start and quick set up.

"Easy now, don't want to rip your stitches." A voice said.

I looked towards the voice and saw the Lasat. I moved away from him and he sent me a gentle smile.

"It's okay." He said as he walked closer to me.

"They can't hurt you anymore." He said softly.

I nodded my head and he set in the chair beside my bed.

"I'm Garazeb Orrelios, but my friends call me Zeb. What's your name?" He asked softly.

I looked around and then back at him.

"I'm a friend." He said softly.

I looked at the ground and he let out a sigh.

"It's okay, you can tell me when you are ready." He said softly.

He sent me a small smile and then leaned back in his chair.

"Guess until I learn your name, I'll have to call you something.... how about... Kitten?" He asked with a smile.

I held back a laugh and he shook his head.

"Yea, I'll call you Kitten." He said softly.

For the next few weeks I spent most of my time with Zeb, I still didn't speak to him, to scared of getting hurt. I met his crew and with time I got close to them. The only one out of all of them that I spoke to was Chopper and that was only because he was a droid and... I trusted him.

"Kitten we are leaving on a mission!" Zeb yelled.

I quickly left my room and ran towards him. He let out a laugh and shook his head as he grabbed his bo-rifle. I followed close beside him and smiled as he kept a hand on my shoulder. Soon the mission was over and we returned to the ship. I set on Zeb's bed and watched as he worked on his weapon.

"Karabast, this thing doesn't want to stay working." He said as he shook his head.

I held my hand out and he handed it to me. After looking it over I grabbed his screwdriver and tampered with his bo-rifle. I handed it back to him and he turned it on.

"I don't know how you do that Kitten." He said as he sent me a smile.

"It's not to hard." I whispered.

Zeb looked up at me and I looked at the ground. I saw a smile appear on his face and I bit my lip.

"I always knew you had a beautiful voice." He said softly.

I smiled and looked up at him.

"So I got to hear your voice, do I get to know your name? Or do I got to wait longer?" He asked with a smile.

"(Y/n).... my name's (Y/n)." I said softly.

He held his hand out and I gently shook it. After that day I didn't stop talking, I had finally got over my fear of betrayal and I got even closer with Zeb. Zeb sent me a smile as he watched me work on the Ghost.

"I love you." He said softly.

I stopped working and I saw his eyes go wide.

"I mean I... Well you see I..."

"I love you too." I said softly.

He sent me a smile and I got back to working on the ship. After I finished I stood up and saw Zeb with a goofy smile on his face.

"What?" I asked softly.

"I love you.... I really really love you." He said happily.

I rolled my eyes and walked up to him a leaned up and pecked his lips. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I smiled as I pulled away from him and looked up at him.

"Thank you." I said softly.

He kissed my forehead and pulled me into another hug.
