Training
~
Everyone was outside, kids playing around, grown ups talking to each other, fathers coming back from their jobs, mothers greeting them. I saw from the ship's windows. This is Yavin 4, the most beautiful place in the galaxy.
For me, on the other hand, i like to stay inside, read a book, or something like that. I got up from my bed and brushed my hair, looking at the mirror. I heard laughter from the front. I got out of my room
"Poe!" I ran into his arms. He was gone for two years due to some work.
"Missed me?" He asked us. I chuckled.
"Of course i did!" Poe smiles. We at sat down at the table and had a nice dinner.
"How was it?" I asked. Poe started telling stories about the planets hes been in, him fighting stormtroopers, he kept going on that I forgot to eat. We stayed all night in the kitchen, listening to the story.
"All right you Hera, leave your brother, he had a rough day." My father said to me.
"Come on dad." He gave me a look. A look that scares us all. "You know what, I'm feeling a little sleepy." I faked a yawn.
"You're so right, i guess we have to go to bed." We went to our rooms. I gathered my things to go to the bathroom, which i called first. Poe saw me and raced me to it. Poe slams the door in my face.
"Poe! I called first!" I banged on the door, angrily.
"I got here first." I banged on the door again and again. My dad came to see what was happening.
"Poe, you are going to open this door and wait your turn." There was silence.
"I will open this door and wait my turn." Poe opens the door and walks straight to his room. My dad looked at me and nodded. I shrugged my shoulders and walked in the bathroom. As i got ready, I felt a presence, it felt cold. In the mirror, i saw a boy, i gasp and backed up. I looked up to see him gone.
Next Morning
I woke up, got dressed and head to the kitchen. I overheard my parents talking about me.
"Luke can help. Han said so." My father told Poe.
"How long do you think she'll be gone?" He told my father.
"Training can take months." I walked in, they coughed. "Hi Hera."
"What about Training?" I questioned.
"I've have been thinking, for a while now. We believe we should take you to do some training with an old friend." My dad sat me down.
"And Poe? Is he coming?"
"Im actually staying." I looked down.
"Are you sending me away?"
"If you are willing to. Nothing bad. We believe that you are force sensitive." I stood up.
"Wait. What does that mean?" I shook my head. I looked at them both. "Guys?"
"Hera, we believe that you have some time of force in you." I was stunned. Me, having the force? Thats crazy!
"Thats why im taking you to an old friend of mine. Luke Skywalker." My eyes popped out. THE Luke Skywalker, ive heard stories.
"How long?"
"Couple of months. Give or take." Poe then comes and sits next to me.
"At least you are having something to do, im probably going to help dad with ships." I chuckled.
"I want to think about this." I went to my room and thought about it. I mean yeah i want to go be help myself and wont let anyone in danger. But i dont because i dont want to leave. I came out of my room and stood in front of the two men. "I want to go."
"Go pack, you're going to miss a lot if you just stand there." I went back to my room and start packing, putting my belongings into a small bag. I looked around my room, ill be back, i promise. I walked out of the room. "Dont miss me too much."
"I wont, at least i wont hear you complain." Poe let out a small fake laugh. I gave him a hug.
"Bring me something when you come back."
"No promises."
"Come on." I waved at Poe as i walked out. I followed my father to his ship, sitting in the front. "Ready Commander?"
"Ready?" I smiled back at my father. He flipped some switches and we flew off. Yavin 4 was so beautiful. The trees, the nature. I took a walk around the ship, stretch my legs. It was a short ride as the temple was still in Yavin 4.
"Commander Hera, look." I ran back to the front and saw the Temple. I was shocked. I was in awe.
"Wow." I smiled. My father landed the ship and I walked behind him. The doors open and I saw the huts and flowers surrounding the place. It was a quiet place, nothing was so beautiful than this.
"Kes!" A man walks up to my dad and hugs him.
"Han!" My jaw drops. Han Solo.
"Chewie!" My dad waves. Chewbacca talks to him. My dad laughs. "Han, Chewie, this is my daughter Hera."
"Hello there kid." Han Solo sticks out his hand. "Your dad talks about you and your brother a lot."
"Hi." I gasps out as i shook his hand. Chewbacca gives me a hug.
"Seen Luke?" My dad tells Han.
"He's training, why?" They both look at me as Chewie and I started to play around. "Follow me."
"Hera!" My dad calls out. Chewie and I followed the men to a room. "Luke knows shes staying here."
"Shes in good hands Kes." The doors opened and i saw a man. There was other kids my age, standing on the side, trying not to laugh.
"Try again." He told a boy. He was skinny, tall, has black curly hair, cute. He had this look, i dont know he was just too cute. I feel for him right there. He puts his arm out focusing on the lightsaber.
"I cant!" The boy gives up. The boy looks at me. There was this pull, something like i knew before. I was starstruck, making the older man look back. Its Luke Skywalker. He walks up to my father.
"Shes strong, like an old friend." He smiles at me. "Hello."
"Hi, im Hera." I greeted myself.
"Welcome." I gave him a smile. I saw the same boy, looking at me still. I looked at him, making him look away. The kids started to whisper.
"You'll be careful okay." My dad smiles.
"I will." I gave him a hug. He patted my head as he left me. I sighed.
"Class dismissed!" The kids scattered out. I talked to Master Luke, he gave me the Jedi textbooks to read off. I walked out by myself, I felt out of place. I slowly walked behind the kids from my class. I walked outside, happy to see how beautiful it is.
"Hey, new kid." I turned around to see a girl walking up to me. "The names Jules." She smiled.
"Hera, nice to meet you." I gave her a smile back. "Is everyone really this serious?" She laughs.
"Depends on the person." She looks around. "Ben, he likes to keep to himself, since all the kids are kinda scared of him. I dont know why. When he saw you, man, he was different." I started to blush, i didnt even know who Ben was.
"Whos Ben?" I asked.
"I guess you'll see in a bit." She winks and walks away. I saw Han coming up the stairs with the boy that kept looking at me.
"Why wont you show Hera around." Han suggested the boy. The skinny boy walks slowly up to me.
"H-hi im Ben Solo." He stutters as he looked down at me.
"Ben, cute. Im Hera Dameron." His cheeks flushed with pink. He looks at Han, his father.
"Lets go." He walks off, making me follow him. We walked around the village. Getting to know it more.
"So, Ben, what does it feel to be in a royal family?" I asked as my fingers touched the antiques.
"Boring. My mother makes me go to these long meetings sometimes." He walks besides me. "What brings you here?"
"My parents said that im force sensitive, they believe Luke Skywalker will help me. Train you know." He hums. I stopped to hear this whispering like noise. I looked back. I saw this item, sitting there, calling my attention. I walked closer and closer. I grabbed the lightsaber, until Ben comes in.
"Dont touch that." He puts back the saber.
"Why? You heard the whispers?" I told him. He looked at me as if i was crazy.
"What whispers?" Ben was just confused. I keep looking at it.
"Whispers?" As the man that was selling it.
"You hear it too?" I looked at him. He smiles.
"The true owner of the crystal will hear it "sing" to them." He gives me the lightsaber. "It chose you. I have millions of people walk pass it, and hear nothing, but you, its calling you." I grabbed it and the whispers stopped. I turned around to look at Ben.
"Turn it on." He told me. I pressed the button. The saber color was orange. The man and Ben were amazed.
"The only one who truly owned an orange lightsaber as their main weapon was Yaddle." Luke said as he walked around me. "Orange sabers are only owned by a jedi that sworn not to use their weapon unless absolute necessary." Ben and I were at awe.
"I have never seen one." Ben said as he hovered over me. Chills went down my spine as he hovered over me.
"Take it." Said the man in the stand.
"Lets go Ben and Hera." Luke said as we followed him. Ben and I walked side by side all the way back to the Temple.
"I hoped Ben treated you well." Said Princess Leia. I stood there. I nodded my head. Wow, she's prettier in person. She smiled at me. "You know, your mother used to fly with me."
"She told me. She told me everything." I giggled. Leia looked at Han with a smile. "Thank you for keeping me here for a while."
"Anything for Kes and Shara children."
"You kids go play or something, whatever teens do these days, okay." Han waves us off. Ben and I walked out.
"Your parents are so known, Poe comes time to time to the base, why have i just met you?" Ben asked as we walked around the garden.
"My parents believed that Im safer at home than with the Rebellion. I dont mind."
"Poe's your brother im guessing." I nodded. We stopped walking.
"Nice braid." I touched his single braid, hanging out of the side of his head. He blushed.
"I-i uh- thanks." We stood there. Just looking at each other. "You have pretty eyes." He spoke out.
"Thanks." I blushed. There was such a tiny bit of room between us, i felt something was there, between us. "I guess i should go to my hut. Study the jedi codes." I broke the silence.
"Uh yeah, after you." He stepped aside. I gave him a smile as i walked off. We walked together back to the huts. Everyone was talking as they were staring at us. I started to get embarrassed for a minute.
"This is my stop." I chuckled.
"See you tomorrow?"
"Yes, you will." I went to my hut and smiled. I laid down, but i heard some girls talking about me and Ben. I got out of my room and saw the girls.
"She hasn't even had real training."
"Cant believe that she was thinking about Ben when she saw him." They started to laugh.
"I mean, they would perfectly be great together, their both as weird." I stepped out from the shadows.
"The only thing is weird is how you cant even use the force correctly without messing up your hair." They all turned around to see me. They all stood quiet. I headed my way to them. "Its just so funny how you are all talk, but when I come around, you guys are all so quiet." I stepped closer. "The next time you say my name, or Bens, I will show you how to use the force correctly." I gave them a smile. "Names Hera by the way." They all huffed and stomped away. I smiled as I walked back to my hut. I couldn't stop thinking about Ben was so sweet to me. It was flattering. Ben Solo, cute.
