{Eleutheromania; An intense and irresistible desire for freedom.} 

Aurora ran towards a cornered group of villagers, jumping over rubble and fallen buildings. Blocking blaster shots, she twisted her lightsabre to her side, cutting through stormtroopers as she freed the villagers. Deflecting more blaster shots, she dissembled her lightsabre in two with a twist and swung them at her side as a three stormtroopers turned to her with electronic swords. They charged at her, Aurora deflecting a hit using this to push them back whilst spinning on her heel to her knees to skim the purple lightsabre over the front of their knees. She stands pushing one lightsabre blade through their chest leaving just two more. 

Aurora joins the lightsabre again, the double ended lightsabre blocking the strike from both of them. She kicks one back in the chest before twirling the lightsabre in her hand as the double ended lightsabre becomes only one blade. The stormtrooper deflects an attack but Aurora counters flipping over the stormtrooper, landing she uses the force to send them flying back into the other she previously kicked away. She stands tall, turning off her lightsabre. 

Suddenly, Stormtroopers marched over to Han and Chewie, shooting at the relentlessly as they duck beneath broken boulders from the building. Aurora used the force to send two stormtroopers flying back as he walks towards the stormtroopers that were shooting at Han and Chewie. Igniting her lightsabre, she throws it, the blades spinning around as it flies through the stormtroopers. She runs towards them, using fallen parts of the building as stepping stones, jumping off the end one with a flip before catching her lightsabre. Aurora rolled as she landed, groaning as she landed on her side she was previously blasted by Plasma just a day ago. Han and Chewie rushed to Aurora, Chewie picking up her lightsabre that rolled away from her as Han kneeled down beside her as she propped herself up on her elbows. 

"Ow," 

"Come on sweetheart," Han smiles, helping her up, "Thank you." 

"No problem, just add it to the list." 

Then they were surrounded, a stormtrooper pushing Finn towards. Aurora and Han shared a look as they raised their hand to their heads before they were pushed through the rubble. Han looked down at his daughters side, blood running through her white top, he frowned sharing a look with Chewie who growled. Suddenly, something distracted the stormtroopers as they looked up, Aurora couldn't help but smile. 

"It's the Resistance."

Aurora lowered her hands from the back of her head, catching her lightsabre Chewie threw her. She quickly ignited the blade and deflected the shots from the stormtroopers. Finn by her side as Han and Chewie made their way around to Maz who hid behind fallen rubble. TIE fighters headed their way but taken out by a piolet in an X-wing with extreme accuracy. 

"That's one hell of a pilot!" Finn cheered. 

Aurora smiled knowingly but it was soon melted away as she felt his presence. Through the chaos, he watched her. Kylo Ren stared at her, Rey knocked out in his arms, Adam's unconscious body dumped to the side. Aurora shouted, running through it all as Kylo turned on his heel, walking into his ship. Finn was hot on her heels, shouting for Rey as the ship doors closed. Aurora cursed as her brother flew away, Finn shouting for Rey as he watched it leave. 

Turning around, Aurora rushed to Adam, Han and Chewie by her side. Han placed his fingers on his neck, checking for a pulse. 

"It's there," Han nods, looking up at Chewie, "Help me prop him up." 

Han and Chewie lean Adam against the rubble as Aurora rips the bottom of her shirt, Han passing her his flask from his pocket inside his jacket. Aurora doesn't ask her father any questions before pouring the liquid on the cloth, gently pressing the fabric on the side of his face, cleaning up the blood that ran from his temple. 

"Goodness!" Shouted a familiar voice, "Han Solo!" Aurora looked over her shoulder, laughing quietly as C-3PO stands between her mum and dad, "You probably don't recognise me because of my red arm, look who it is, did you see who-" C-3PO turns to Leia who raises a brow at him, "Oh, excuse me Princess- General. Sorry, come along BB-8."

Aurora stands as a medical team help Adam on a stretcher, she rushes to her mum, instantly pulling her into a hug. 

"Hey mum," Aurora whispers. 

"My darling," Leia smiles gently pulling away, she instantly frowns looking down at her daughter, "Your bleeding." 

"On my jacket," Han mumbles, walking to the two, placing a hand on Aurora's back, "You owe me a new one." 

"You have like a hundred-" 

"And ninety-nine of them are now yours," 

"Nothing changes with you two, does it?" Leia smiles, looking between them. 

"You changed your hair," Han says, Aurora smiles softly at him. 

"Same jacket," Leia smirks. 

"No, new jacket," Han looks down at himself. 

"That makes it two jackets you own then," Aurora says making Leia chuckle and Han sigh. 

"Shut it."

Landing on the Resistance base was something Aurora hated, it was a new base after every mission, nowhere to call home, begin back on the Falcon with her dad and Chewie was home but it was just missing a few people. Han and Chewie walked forward whilst Aurora leant against a few crates, watching Poe jump down from his X-Wing. Adam was begin taken into base on a stretcher with Finn following only stopping to talk to Poe for a second. 

"It's good to see you Flyboy," Han says as Chewie softly roars at Poe in greeting. 

"You too, Solo," Poe smiles at the man, "Where is Aurora?" 

"Over there," Han nods in the direction Aurora was stood, Poe looking over at her frowning, "Be careful, she has the same look as Leia when she is pissed off." 

Han pats Poe's back as he and Chewie continue to walk into the base leaving Poe looking at Aurora, who begins walking into his direction. Poe swallows nervously, rubbing the back of his neck in a nervous habit before walking towards her. 

"Aurora-" 

He cuts himself off as she wraps her arms around his shoulders, bringing him into a tight hug. Poe hugs her back immediately hands resting on her back as he closes his eyes contently, Aurora sighs hiding her face in the crook of his neck. 

"Don't ever do that again," Aurora quietly threatens, "Or I will keep BB-8." 

"He already loves you more than me Princess," Poe softly chuckles pulling away slightly, hands resting on her hips, her loosely hugging his shoulders.

"Doesn't everyone," She teases, fingertips gently brushing through the hairs at the nape of his neck. Poe chuckles, looking down at her he gasps softly, noticing the red staining the white. 

"Aurora-" 

"It's fine, dad made Chewie patch me up on the Falcon and you know he was supervising the whole thing, making sure Chewie was doing it right, he might as well of done it himself-" 

Aurora cuts herself off as she is pulled into another hug, Poe's hand cradling the back of her head, holding onto her tightly like she was about to disappear.

"Never leave me again Poe," 

"I would never dream of it Princess."
