Now here's what's going on in this chapter:

A few weeks after the last chapter, Liyah begins having dreams of a woman, a woman on Jakku. (Don't worry I didn't forget about her home planet and her backstory I barely explained).

—————————————————————

I woke up to the same dream. A dream of a woman, she had blue skin, similar to mine. Her hair was a pastel blue, and eyes dark as empty space.

The dream was nothing very noteworthy, it just was clouded with an intense emotion. Fear and anguish, mixed with a little bit of dread.

"Conflicted, I feel, you are." Master Yoda said.

He had called me to his chambers to speak. I think Ahsoka ratted me out the day before, I had been awfully quiet, trying to not fall asleep and trying to grapple my dream like visions.

"Tired you seem, sleep, you cannot." He said.

"Master, I've been plagued with dreams of a woman, I think she's my mother." I confess. "I fear she needs my help."

"Fear is the path to the dark-side," he began. "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate...leads to suffering."

My thoughts drifted to the crystal I had buried underneath my clothing. Was I perhaps going through what Master Heran went through?

"In deep thought, you are. About your old friend, is this?" Grand Master Yoda said.

I nodded my head.

"Master, I feel as through if I keep having these dreams, I will end up like him." I confessed.

"Realize you must, the past is but the past, and govern your future, it may not." He says.

"Yes Master Yoda." I got up from my chair. "I feel much better." I faked a smile.

I lied.

"I have the highest respect for Master Yoda, but this isn't something that he would get, or perhaps he doesn't get it the way I do."

I went to the next best person I could go to. Master Skywalker himself.

I knocked on his door to no response.

"Master?" I called out. "Master, there's something wrong with me, I need your guidance." I called out once more.

I waited for a moment and no one answered the door.

I sat on the floor, with my back leaned against the wall. Taking out the glowing crimson crystal from underneath my garments, I stared at it. I knew Master was probably over at Padmé's, so he'd be back early in the morning.

With the Crystal in my hand, I could feel Master Herans pain. The pain of loss, the pain of suffering, and hate.

I often wondered why I wasn't enough to prevent him from turning to the dark side. It had been two years since he abandoned me, yet it hurt as much as it did the night he left.

Ahsoka and Anakin were my safe havens, but I knew one day they would leave me too.

"Liyah?" I was awoke to a worried voice.

"Master." I said, rubbing my baggy eyes.

"How long have you been waiting here?" He said guiltily.

"Not that long." I smirked. "I needed to talk to you."

"What is it?" He said opening his door. "Come in."

I walked into his room and looked around at the various trinkets he had. There was a workbench with all sorts of gadgets and parts littered over it. He had mini-ships placed on dressers.

"There's something wrong with me Master." I said.

"What do you mean?" He asked concerned.

Unlike speaking with Master Yoda, I felt like I could be completely honest to Anakin. I knew he wouldn't give me lectures that made me doubt myself in the light side of the force.

"I've been having dreams, about a woman, I think, no, I know she is my mother." I confessed.

He paused for a moment and looked at me.

"What kind of dreams?" He asked.

"That's the thing Master," I began "I don't know! I see here face, but the emotions I get from the dream are dark followed by a sense of dread."

Anakin sat down at his desk and pondered.

"I know she lives on Jakku. I haven seen her since I was a toddler." She said. "I feel like she needs my help, I feel like the force is warning me something terrible is going to happen to her." I was trying to fight back tears.

"I know fear leads to the darkside, but I can't just sit idly by and accept her fate." I said.

"I know." Anakin says, drawing my surprise.

"What?" I said confused.

What did he mean by 'I know'?.

"I know what's it's like." He says "I want to help you." He smiles.

"Really?"

He simply nods. "You said Jakku, right?"

I nodded, wiping the tears that began swelling up.

"Ahsoka is currently on a diplomatic mission with Plo Koon." Anakin says "We have no new assignments, if we were to depart from the Planet tonight, we wouldn't jeopardize anything."

"Are you sure, Master?"

"I know Master Yoda says the fear of loss leads you to a dark past, but Jedi are protectors, we can't sit idly by while someone could be in trouble." He spoke like he had experience in something like this.

"R2, wake up." He said.

R2 had lit up in the corner, I hadn't even noticed him.

"We should leave now, we'd make it there in a few hours." He said.

A/N: Sorry if this is kinda short, I just wanted to give a set up for the next chapter.❤️
