Scavenger girl.

The sand was hot beneath his feet,  his hair sticking uncomfortably to his forehead. He sighed, wiping away the sweat from his brow. He could say that he’d grow accustomed by the high temperature of Tatooine’s desert by now, but it was still tiring for a child of his age to walk for so much time in the desert. It’s been days–or MONTHS, Luke wasn’t sure,  since he’d started living on his own. He never wanted that, but he had no choice. Luke could still remember clearly the night when his Aunt and Uncle have been killed by pirates. Out of panic, he’d ran out the homestead looking for help, but he’d just ended up lost. They must have thought he had died, either at the hands of Tusken Raiders or some dragon Krayt—but what they didn’t know was that Luke Skywalker was no normal child. He had—-as he liked to call, some ‘ weird magical powers’ that helped him when he was in real danger. They had helped him survive until now.

His stomach grumbled but he tried to pay no attention to it. Well, at least until the grumbling got too uncomfortable, then he would go looking for something to eat.

He was forced to stop when something in the distance caught his attention. His heart skipped a beat. It could be anything—Pirates, Tusken Raiders—or some other strange alien monster that lived on Tatooine. He gripped his Gaffi stick tightly ( he’d stolen it when he’d stumbled in an abandoned Tusken Raider’s camp) and watched the figure in distance move. He squinted, trying to understand what it was doing. But he couldn’t see really well from where he was now. So he decided to approach it. As he slowly got near, Luke was able to identify the figure. As he slowly got near, Luke was able to identify the figure. It looked like a woman, and she seemed busy doing—something. Something shiny then caught his attention and Luke’s eyes widened. She had caught something ! His slow steps turned into quick paces. If she had caught something so shiny she could get many credits from it. Or at least he supposed so. Either way, Luke wanted to try to trade with her. Maybe the sight of a child would have softened her?

He waved his arms in the air, trying to get her attention. 

‘‘ Hey ! You there ! Wait !! ‘‘

He shouted, now running towards her.

The life of a smuggler was no easy in any corner of the galaxy, but it seemed as though fate had brought her to just about the last place fit for anyone. Tatooine was a hot, desolate place, filled with raiders and dangers lurking in every dune. Rey had been left behind defenseless at such a young age that, if not for the mercy of other smugglers and crooks, she would not have survived into adulthood. Even so, and despite the year’s worth of acquired skills, each day presented a whole new set of challenges that could potentially become her last. No one could ever predict what lay beyond a dune, what lurked inside the wreckage of a ship or what came in the storms — a Krayt dragon, possibly. Though she had a somewhat peaceful relation with Jawas, Rey avoided Sand People for fear of their unpredictable behavior, leaving all her negotiation to be held with the small hooded creatures. Sometimes, when she had a particular good find, she could even come directly to moisture farmer, but they always eyed her with suspicion and never offered a second glance despite her trustworthy selling goods.

The twin suns shone down over her back, burning through the fabric of her makeshift garment. There had been talk in the cantina from a recent reemerging of the wreckage of an imperial ship over the dunes outside Mos Eisley. Rey wanted to be there first, before the remaining of the broken ship were ravaged beyond recognition. It was likely that many of its parts would not be salvageable, being for so long underneath the sand dunes as they were, making their value almost null. Still, this was essential to the girl’s survival, the only income she had to provide food for the remaining of the week. It was at one of those dunes that a voice called out to her, while her fingers examined the lost forearm of a protocol droid, shining in the desert sand — she could use some of the circuits inside to repair other parts.

The girl was quick to grab her staff, pointing it toward the child’s general direction, aiming so that he could not come closer. There was no being careful enough in these parts, not even with children. Many times they’d been the ones to steal away her scavenged goods. This one was particularly small, just a boy, with nothing visible at hand that could harm her. Still, he could be laying a trap for a bigger group hidden further away.

but is this a surprise?? lol

There was a lot that Kylo had to think about with her offer, a lot he had had to think about before he could accept her offer. Kylo hand’t accepted her offer the first time because he didn’t want to go there but there was more too it. He knew that if he went there it wouldn’t just be the lack of trust that he would have to deal with but their hatred of him. It was why he ran, because he didn’t feel like there was a place for him there. He didn’t have many friends and he was certain he didn’t have any now and while he wanted to trust her he wasn’t sure if he could, not with this. His own mother may want him back but he didn’t think that the Resistance wanted him or had a place for him.

Hearing her words he had to make a decision.

“You’re the only person I have come to trust from the Resistance but that doesn’t make this any easier. You’re asking me to go back to something that I don’t trust, that I don’t feel part of and never have. I don’t expect trust back,” he said as he reached out for her hand.

For a fickle of a second, Rey expected Ben to turn away. She could hear the cracks in her own heart, it’s walls shredding before his own hand touched hers — this time, in her presence, this time, in the flesh. It didn’t make her chest any less heavy, any less tight. Tears welled in her eyes as digits ran upward to his palm, trying to reach and hold him tightly in place, with her, where he belonged.

Biting down on her lip, trying in vain to hide away the surge of emotions that fell down her cheeks, the girl took a step closer. And then another. And another until they were but inches away and she could almost embrace his tall figure. Though she wanted to, though her entire being screamed for it, the scavenger restrained to do so, simply letting the energy that flowed through her reach him by their joined fingers.

you are violet #EE82EE Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be. Your saturation level is lower than average - You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.
