AWAKEN

90

HER EYES fluttered opened.

White was surrounding her.

Amara sat up and looked around, everything was gone but also everything was infinite. It was hard to describe, but also hard to understand.

"You're an idiot," Said a familiar voice.

Amara sighed upon hearing those words from that voice.

"You're a damn idiot, Amara." The voice repeats.

Amara heard the voice from behind her. Amara slowly stood up and rotated her body to face the direction where the voice was coming from.

"Hi, mom." Amara says.

"It wasn't your time, Amara." Leia says glaring at her, "It wasn't your damn time."

Amara frowns, "I know,"

{THE FINAL MISSION}

POE'S BODY didn't even move. He just stared at the lifeless body of Amara Solo. Her body no longer appearing filled with life that it once was.

He didn't even register that he was crying either. Tears slid down his face and landed on the dead body of his beloved.

Orson collapsed next to Poe. The young boy had gone through enough trauma, had gone through enough death, had gone through enough loss. Orson wasn't sure if he could recover from this one.

Poe slowly moved his gaze to the action happening behind them. He sees Ben and Ahsoka squaring off against Karawn, while Rey was helping Finn back on his feet.

Poe looks from the battle and then to the weapons that laid next to Amara.

Poe knew one thing in life, he wasn't like the others dueling their sabers in battle. He wasn't a Jedi. He wasn't connected to the Force like those he cared so deeply about, that being said at this moment, Poe wasn't even sure if he wanted to even be alive in a world without Amara.

Poe grabbed one of the sabers.

"Poe," Orson slowly looks at the pilot.

Poe holds it tightly.

"Chewie," Poe says in a stern voice, "Get Orson back on the Falcon, right now."

Poe slowly lifts his gaze from the body to the Wookiee.

The Wookiee, that Poe wasn't even considering was also mourning the loss of someone he loved. Chewie had seen Amara grow up into the young woman she was. He had always considered Amara like a niece or something.

Chewie looks at the pilot turned general.

Chewie growls.

"I'll handle getting Amara back to the ship," Poe says, "Right now, my priority is protecting Orson."

Orson shakes his head, "No- I don't- I can-,"

Poe turns his gaze to the boy, "Amara wouldn't want you to get killed. She loved you with all her might. She loved me-," Poe shakes the tears away, "I'm not letting another person I care about die."

Orson felt his own tears slide down his face.

Poe stands up.

"Get him out of here, Chewbacca." Poe orders.

Poe's back is to them. His back is to Amara.

"That's an order!" Poe yells.

Chewbacca then grabs the boy, who yells a little, and then they run out towards the halls they've previously traveled down.
