AWAKEN

77

RONON WAS being held prisoner in a cell on base. The idea of him being on the base seemed to make plenty of people on the base nervous, but other people felt having plenty Force users including one of their generals and former Supreme Leader made their odds seem a little better.

Meetings were being conducted on how to handle the Ronon situation as well as the future threat that he and others like him pose.

Amara was offered to be in those meetings, but she decided against it. She settled for being with Orson. Orson was wanting to stay by Amara's side since she had touched the ground on Ajan Kloss. Orson talked and talked Amara's ear off, but the younger woman kept feeling this strange feeling in the Force.

She did wonder if it related to Freya.

Amara felt odd having this older Force user around. It wasn't that she disliked Freya, it's that she doesn't know her. Freya was just a person Amara had just found out about.

Freya had been this person who loved her uncle and her uncle loved back. They fought against the Empire together. Freya was like a sister to Amara's dad. And yet, no one ever uttered the name Freya Koda.

As Orson and Amara passed the mess hall, she spots Freya speaking to Lando.

Amara studies the older woman. She seemed so different than how she pictured, but then again she was picturing a younger woman when Luke talked to her about Freya.

As if it was on que, Freya glanced over.

After Freya looked over so did Lando.

Lando gestures for Amara, "Ay, Amara! Come over here!"

Amara smiles softly.

Amara glanced at Orson, "I'll see you in a little bit. I need to talk to Lando and Miss Freya alone." She says.

Orson glanced between Amara and the older people.

He nods, "Uh- sure."

Amara watches as Orson ran off to find the other kids.

Freya watched Amara well. Amara had this parental way towards Orson that was really obvious. Amara cared for the boy. Freya was certain part of the reason she felt she had to care for the boy was a meaning of guilt of what Ben had done to the boy's family.

Another part was, Amara seemingly just connected with the boy having come from normal families that just fell apart.

Amara walked over and gives an awkward wave.

"Hi, Lando." Amara smiles and then glanced at Freya, "Hello, Miss Freya."

Lando laughs a little, "Miss Freya," He chuckles.

Freya elbows Lando.

"Ouch-!" Lando exclaims.

Freya turns from Lando, she's giving him a look, before a more gentle look was given at the daughter of her best friend.

"Just Freya, please." Freya says to Amara.

Amara nods, "Oh- uh okay." She says, "It's uh- nice to meet you."

Freya smiles softly, "Likewise." She says, "Did- uh did they ever tell you two about me?"

Freya wasn't wasting any time but going directly to what she wanted to hear. Freya had known she had left on the worst terms with the Skywalkers/Solos, but she needed to know.

Amara shakes her head, "Uh no. I'm sorry." She says, "It- It wasn't until a while ago while I was training that Luke told me of you."

Lando looked a little shocked, "Luke?"
