"Some people
don't understand
why I help
people in need.
I don't understand
why they wonder."
I had slept almost all day and all night.
I barely remembered any of my dream, but I did remember a part where I was in a forest.
Rikka had visited me along with the Leia from time to time. But besides that I had slept for at least sixteen hours.
But I did finally get up, and change into some new clothing that someone had brought me.
Looking in the mirror though, I felt a sick feeling in my stomach.
I looked like a rebel, in a jumpsuit. It was a dark green jumpsuit that pilots would wear underneath their pilot suits, and with that to familiar logo.
I tried to run off the feeling, doing my hair instead as I brushed out all the knots, tucked it behind my ears, and still placed that band over my head.
I didn't wear any shoes.
I walked out and saw fighters hard at work, fixing ships, flying, talking, training, running around everywhere.
I went to another room that I had known to have food, and got some breakfast, but it was really almost lunch.
Afterwards, I made my way around the place looking for the General. When I finally found her rushing about.
"Leia!" I shouted, and everyone turned to look at me as if I was crazy for calling her Leia.
She turned and looked to me, seeing that I was embarrassed by what I had just done she shouted, "Back to work!"
Then she walked over to me, "Good morning dear, how are you today?"
"I'm good, and you?"
"I'm okay." She responded, still smiling. "What can I do for you?"
"Well actually I was wondering if you knew where my friend is? Sandro?"
Her smile faded, and I had a feeling that she was going to say something bad.
"He recently went on a mission to Cembar, apparently when you and your brother didn't return with the cargo shipments. We had a group of Rebels, that included Sandro, who went to try and get the shipments ourselves. However, there was more security than we had predicted. The group retreated, but a few of our men went missing. Including your friend. I'm so sorry."
I looked down at my feet, not believing what I was hearing.
"Thank you for telling me." I mumbled, she smiled softly at me and I walked away.
I just wanted to be left alone, I wanted to go lay down and cry in my bunker.
Another one?
Another person in my life that left and didn't come back.
But there was a possibility that he could be still alive.
That's all the hope I was hanging onto.
As I walked, I saw the path that Sandro and I had walked on the night before I left.
My heart was drawn towards it, and something told me that if I walked on that path then Sandro would be there at the end.
So I decided to walk along it.
Without him it was quiet, and I felt even more alone.
My bare feet dragged on the forest floor, cold and tingling.
I didn't want to think about others, the ones I had lost.
So I listened to the other creatures in the woods, and the birds flying above my head like war ships.
But then I reached the end of the path, and what was there surprised me even more than if I had seen Sandro there.
It was a young girl, maybe only a year older than me. She had dirty blonde hair, and sat on the ground with her legs crossed looking over the view.
She heard me and looked over to face me. Her high pony tail waved quickly in the wind. Her green eyes were red, as if she'd been crying.
The girl took one glance at me, up and down, then when she saw my bare feet she jumped up from where she was sitting.
"You!" She shouted at me.
"What?" I questioned.
"Your Rivera aren't you?!"
"Uh yeah."
"I'm Jesly, Sandro's sister!"
"I-I didn't know Sandro had a sister."
"Well he does and it's me!"
She had a lot of energy for someone who looked as if she had been mourning.
"Wait. How'd you know who I am?"
"Sandro talks about you all the time, and I knew it was you cause your not wearing shoes!"
"Oh." I mumbled.
"Come on! There's not much time to waist!" She ran towards me, grabbing my arm and pulling me down the path.
"What? What's happening?"
"We're going to go find Sandro!"
"What!?"
"I already asked everyone here if anyone was willing to come with me to look for Sandro but everyone's busy, so now we are going to go find him! You and me!"
"Just us?" I pulled my arm away from her grasp.
"Yep! Come on let's go!"
"No!" I shouted.
"What? Why not?"
"Because we can't go alone."
"We're not alone, we have each other."
"I don't even know you."
"Do you trust Sandro?"
"Yeah I guess."
"Then you can trust me."
"That's not how it works-"
The girl began to tear up again.
"Please...no one else will help me." She started, "Sandro told me you had a brother, how would you feel if he went missing? Just waiting for news to come in, not knowing whether or not he was dead or alive?"
I gulped, tears coming to my own eyes.
"My brother died on Cembar a week ago."
The girls eyes widened, "I'm so sorry..." she started, "But you have to understand how I feel right now."
She had convinced me.
"Fine..." I mumbled. "But how are we even going to get to Cembar, don't we need a pilot?"
"We got one!" She shouted happily as she ran down the path and I followed her.
"Who?!" I shouted back.
"Me! That's who!" She ran quickly, "Grab your stuff and meet me in row 28 section 9!"
"Uh okay..."
"LETS GO SAVE MY BROTHER!"
What had I just gotten myself into?
