The Walking Apocalypse

me @ 10

♥️Omega has a lot on her mind and the boys can tell it's taking a toll on her. But every time they ask her if she’s ok, she just smiles tightly and says she's fine. They worry about her, but don’t want to push her. She’s started spending more time alone 

♥️Omega sits on the cliff overlooking the cove, staring at the stars. Her mind’s running a milion miles a second. Now that they finally found a place to be safe and she’s been able to relax, she’s started reminiscing on her life so far. She thinks of her time on Kamino with Nala Se. She thinks of getting to see her brothers grow up into the men they are now. But most of all, she thinks of the one person she’s never been allowed to talk about. Her mom. 

♥️Nala Se and Lama Su made it clear she was not allowed to bring her up, in hope she would eventually forget about her. But she never did, always thinking about what she misses most. The memories faded, forgetting the details of her face, but she never forgot her mother.

♥️She remembers the way she sang to her and her brother Boba. How she would always be there when they woke up from nightmares, she would make them a warm cup of milk and sing them a Mandalorian tale. Tales of her family, tales of beasts and the mythos of Mandalore. Her hands soft as they rubbed their backs and heads to help them feel better. She always made sure to snuggle with them as well, always in that big fluffy blanket that could cover their small family entirely. 

♥️She starts to cry, because she can only remember the small things, but she can’t remember her face, can’t remember what her hair looks like, can’t remember her smile. Small flashes of things here and there comes to mind, her necklace she always wore, the cup she always drank her caf out of. SHe remembers the things around her, but nor her herself.

♥️She remembers how she used to kiss her father as if he was the only person who existed, slow dancing in the kitchen when making meals, how she always fussed over his injuries even if it was just a stubbed toe. She remembers that their love was so strong that when her mom disappeared, her father changed almost completely. He searched for her for years, never giving up on finding her. He searched until his inevitable death, leaving behind two children.

♥️She thinks about the what-if’s. What if she’s alive out there? If she is, what happened to her and why didn’t she come back? What if she never disappeared? Would she be the person caring for her now instead of her brothers? Would she have taught her the ways of a Mandalorian? How to fight like them? Would she have gotten to meet her maternal family? Her mother told her about her aunts, and how she wished they could get along.

♥️Would she have been forced to stay with Nala Se and been allowed to interact with her clone brothers more often if her mom was still here? Would her father have even taken that job that got him killed? Would she still see Boba? She can’t even remember the last time they had seen each other. 

♥️She looks at the stars, tears streaming down her face. So deep in thought she doesn’t hear the steps coming from behind her or her brother calling her name. She’s only knocked out of her thoughts when Crosshair sets his hand on her shoulder and gently shakes. When she looks up at him and he sees her tears, he sits and asks her what’s wrong.

♥️She at first doesn’t want to tell him, telling him she’s fine. He knows she’s lying, but doesn’t want to make it worse, so he sits silently next to her, rubbing her shoulder. That makes her break down harder, all she could think of was her mom comforting her. She finally tells him that she’s thinking of their mom. Words spill from her mouth as she finally gets to talk about how much she misses her, without fear of being punished by Lama Su. Crosshair, albeit extremely confused, comforts her to the best of his ability. 

♥️He’s told everything she knows. How they have a mom, how she disappeared, how the Kaminoans didn’t want the clones to know about her after she disappeared. Omega told him about how she was a Mandalorian like Jango, and how she was a part of Clan Kryze. 

♥️She eventually passes out on Cross’s shoulder, having worn herself out in relief from finally getting this off her chest. Crosshair carries her back to the village. He’s already formulating a way to find out what happened to their mom, knowing that they don’t have a lot to go on, but that’ll make Omega feel better, no matter the outcome. She’ll finally get the closure she needs, whether their mom is alive or dead. He’ll make sure of it.

“how did you all manage to survive?”

“survive?”

“the nuclear war??”
