I don't own anything.
========================================
Lyra's P.O.V.

"Hold still. This might hurt."

I nod and close my right eye. I can feel the needle poke into my skin and I tense up. "Relax, Lyra. It'll just hurt for a bit." I try to think of happy things but my mind always tracks back to Galen and Jyn. Will I ever see them again?

The needle pokes my wound a few more times. Then it stops and a soft cloth is pressed against the wound. On the cloth is a medicine, which hurts like hell. I flinch. "Almost done... " said a new voice. "Just a little more... there! You can open your eyes." I do as I'm told and look into bright blue eyes of Orson Krennic. Behind him is the pilot Bodhi, who's cleaning the needle. "Are you okay?" Orson asks.

I bob my chin. "Thanks," I said quietly.

Orson nods. "I just hope Bodhi know what he was doing with those stitches." He glances over his shoulder to look at Bodhi.

"I had some decent medical training." Bodhi shrugs. "It was a requirement if you were to be a cargo pilot." He puts the needle back in the small first aid kit. "Do you need anything else?"

"No, I don't think so," I said. "Thank you for your help."

The pilot smiles. "No problem... um, can I do anything around here?"

I thought for a second. "Can you pull the weeds in my garden?" Bodhi nods and salutes to me as he walks backwards towards the door. He ends up missing the doorframe and crashes into the wall. Bodhi quickly turns around and skips off.

I hear the door shut and that's my cue to get up and start organizing the place again. I stand to do so but Orson stops me. "I'll do it."

"Well you've become very helpful," I tease. He laughs and begins straightening the room. I sigh and lay on the couch, looking at the ceiling. It really is nice having someone else do stuff for me.

There's something sparkly dancing on the walls. I follow the reflection of the thing with my eyes and it leads to Orson. That's odd. My curiosity sparks and I speak up. "Orson, can you come over here for a moment?" Orson obeys. I sit up to take a better look at him. It's then I notice he has a Kyber crystal necklace. The sunlight had bounced off the jewel. There's something very familiar about it... "May I see your necklace?"

Orson reaches behind his neck to unclip it, then freezes. "Sorry, I, ah... I think I should keep it on."

I have a feeling this necklace is something I've seen before. Without warning, I reach up and snap it off his neck. "Hey!" Orson cries. I keep it out of his reach (which is very hard to do considering his size) and fiddle with the necklace until I can see the faint scribe in the crystal.

G.W.E.

I turn and smack Orson across the face. "WHY DO YOU HAVE MY HUSBAND'S NECKLACE ON?!"

Orson staggers backwards. He falls to the floor before answering. "Galen gave it to me! I swear! He handed it to me before I went out the door!" I don't believe Krennic. I grab his staff from where he left it in the corner and hover one end above his neck. "Lyra! I'm not lying! Galen told me to never take it off. I don't know why but-" He groans when I jab his stomach. "Please!" He wails. "I'm telling you the truth!"

He's lying. "Did you use my family to your advantage again? Not surprising, since you did it before."

"Lyra! I didn't take Galen! I swear!"

"Reekshite." I raise my arms and swing the end of the staff towards Krennic's neck. Krennic screams.

Suddenly the other end if the staff is grabbed and I'm thrown onto the couch. The staff flies from my hand and appropriately bounds off the floor to hit Krennic in the face. I look up into the eyes of one of Jyn's angry friends, whom I can't remember the name to. It was something on the lines of Chassis.

"If you don't mind, I would like to talk to Krennic alone," Chassis said. "And I'll need that necklace."

I clench the necklace tighter. "When did I give you permission to have something of my husband's in your possession?" We stare at each other for a little while. Eventually I give up and let him have it. "I want that back." I take Krennic's staff and walk outside to where Bodhi was fooling around with my garden, plucking out the weeds.

"How's it going?" I ask.

"I love gardening!" Bodhi grins. "Where my house is, it's too barren to have a garden. The whole ground is rock so there is no way I can grow anything."

I kneel down and begin helping him. It's so nice to meet such a kind and open-minded friend of my daughter's. I hope that I can trust him, because I don't think I can trust Krennic anymore and Chassis doesn't seem like a social person.

Cassian's P.O.V.

I was standing outside, playing fetch with Gumdrop, when I heard Krennic cry out from inside the building. Ugh, if the guy was being attacked by another Markavipe I was going to let it murder him. I ran inside and saw Lyra swing Krennic's staff towards his neck. Without thinking, I race forwards and seize the other end of the staff. Then I use her momentum to toss her onto the couch. The staff falls from her hand and miraculously hits Krennic in the face.

Lyra looks in complete shock. I walk towards her and notice the Kyber crystal necklace in her hand. I had seen Krennic wearing it before. Had she stolen it? Wait, wasn't she Krennic's friend? I am so confused. I take a deep breath and say "If you don't mind, I would like to talk to Krennic alone." I pause and look at the necklace. "And I'll need that necklace."

The woman clenches the necklace tighter. "When did I give you permission to have something of my husband's in your possession?" She's on to me. I try to think of something witty to say to her but nothing comes to mind. Eventually Lyra gives up and holds the necklace out. "I want that back." I slowly slide the necklace from her grasp. She gets up and takes Krennic's staff with her then slams the door.

I sigh and sit down on the couch. Krennic looks confused at my action. "Hey, bastard, get off the floor," I said. I still don't like Krennic. Bodhi can like him all he wants but Krennic gets on my nerves.

Krennic hops to his feet immediately. I smirk as his surprised yet worried face. This his face hardens and he says "So I'm a bastard to you now? Cassian, what is it that you want?"

"You just can't win, can you?" I say. "One second you're gored by a Maravipe and the next you're being murdered by your own friend with your own weapon." Krennic sighs and I can just hear what he's thinking. No, I am not going to let you live those two things down, Krennic. Ever. Even better for me, you can't die.

"So what's your point?" the former officer asks. "What do you want from me? I know you would never come to talk to me unless it's to insult me or it's crucial information that everyone needs to know."

"This information will only be passed between you and I." I look down at the necklace in my hand. Ever since he first told Bodhi and I where he got the necklace, I have been thinking about this for a while and how I noticed Jyn wore a similar necklace. I wanted to swing a theory of mine by Krennic. "Do you know why Galen Erso gave this to you?"

"I believe he gave it to me as a good luck charm in my investigation to find Jyn."

"From a first glance, that's what I thought." I twist the gem until I can see the initials for Galen Walton Erso. "Then I remembered Jyn has a near copy of the same necklace. I never got a great close-up of it but from what I was able to see, it looked like this one. It had the same chain, the crystals looked identical in shape, detail, size, all that."

Krennic looks completely confused. "Jyn... had the same necklace?"

I let the necklace dangle in front of my eyes and looked at it. "I'm sure you remember when I was saying that Force mantra when I was having that panic attack."

"Y-you know about that?"

"I was conscious, remember?"

"Right... right..."

I roll my eyes then continue. "Jyn has Lyra's Kyber necklace and you have Galen's. Does that not sound like a convenient coincidence?" I pause to let the information sink into Krennic's head.

Krennic is still confused. "I-I don't understand what you're trying to say. Maybe it's convenient in the long run but-"

I cut him off. "For Kriff's sake, Orson Krennic! The crystals would be connected to each other!" Was this guy really that stupid? "Personally, I don't believe in the Force but I think Galen and Lyra might have. It's possible that they saw into the future so they wore these two necklaces. That way they could find each other if they were separated.

"Then if you said Jyn had Lyra's necklace on, why didn't Lyra keep it on herself? She would have be able to find Galen right now."

"Are you seriously that daft? Galen and Lyra chose you to find Jyn by setting things up this way. You're the key to finding their daughter."

========================================
What do you think of Cassian's theory? And how about Lyra and Orson's new relationship?

Lyra is a Force believer (hence her quote "Trust the Force"). She even wears a red sash like Chirrut and Baze to prove it.

I was playing around with a Wattpad cover maker called Canva and I ended up coming up with a design that I really like for this book. I'm curious as to which cover you guys like.
