To Gain Your Trust Pt. 4
Zoe's POV
Two days. I haven't talked to Alex for two days. Him and Zander are both still unconscious. I miss them. I often just sit in the med bay in between both of their beds.
"Hey Kiddo." Zeb said taking a seat by me.
"Hey Uncle Zeb." I said gently. Zeb is in here all the time trying to get me to leave the med bay but I never feel like it. I am always thinking about the what ifs. The last time me and Zan had talked things didn't go well. I don't want my last talk to him being me telling him how frustrated I was with him.
"You okay?" Zeb asked as almost a rhetorical question.
"I'll be okay." I said looking at him with a sad smile.
"They will be okay, I can promise you that." He tried to reassure me.
"I know." I lied.
"I don't have to be a Jedi to tell you don't truly believe that. But, there are up sides to this." He said. I looked at him with a look of confusion.
"Like what." I asked.
"Well now you'll want to fix things with Zander and you'll never want to leave things on a bad note. You and Alex both have been in a situation like this, so you'll never want to hold a grudge against one another, and you will be more motivated to protect him." He pointed out knowing. Now that he says it, that makes sense, it seems obvious.
"I guess you're right, Zeb the Wise." I admitted with a little laugh.
"Of course I am. Watching three generations of kids get trained to be Jedi, you pick up on a little bit of wisdom." He joked.
"Yeah." I giggled. Zeb stood while stretching and headed to the door.
"Bye kid." He said and left. I moved to the floor and sat with my legs crossed. I focused on the force and contacting Ashoka.
"Hello Young One." Ashoka greeted.
"Hello Ashoka." I greeted in return.
"When was the last time you left this room, Child?" Ashoka asked.
"When mom, Hera, and Lucas worked on them." I admitted.
"They will live." She said.
"How do you know?" I asked opening my eyes.
"I have seen your future. Along with Alex and Zander's, up to the age twenty-two and twenty-five that is." She said.
"Really? Wait! Why only those ages?" I asked.
"Because I can not reveal what happens in the future. I'm already breaking rules by telling you that they will wake up. But, I must warn you. Something bad is going to happen soon-ish, be ready and don't give into the dark side." She warned and then disappeared.
"Ashoka?! Wait! What's gonna happen?! Ashoka! Come back!" I shouted. What did this mean? I would never give in to the dark side, ever! But what danger could be coming? Can I avoid the danger? Can I protect my family from it? I was snapped from my constant questions when I heard a pained groan. I looked at Alex who's eyes opened slowly.
"Alex! Your awake!" I shouted with joy.
"Hey Z." Alex said with a scratchy voice.
"Oh my force, I was so worried. How do you feel?" I asked.
"Well rested, sore, and have a migraine. Other than that, I feel fine." He said.
"Good. Can I ask something?" I asked.
"Shoot." He said.
"Why were you shirtless? Most people stay in their clothes to keep warm on Hoth. You weren't on Tattooine, Hun." I commented.
"Your brother was bleeding a lot so I used my shirt to help the bleeding stop." He said as if it was the most simple thing in the galaxy.
"Why did you save him and risk your life? What would I have done if you died?" I asked softly, while holding his hand and rubbing his knuckles.
"I knew how bad you would hurt if you lost him. I also knew, I had to get on his good side." He explained. I couldn't help but smile at this. He was looking out for me and the crew, not me and himself. I'm not sure why but it made me over joyed. "When was the last time you took a bath?" He asked.
"Not since the night before the mission." I said blushing a soft color of pink.
"Go shower." He commanded, shocking me.
"What? Why?" I asked.
"Because you smell awful." He joked. I gasped and glared at him before punching my shoulder. "Hey! I'm still wounded!" He wined. I kissed I'm softly before leaving to go shower.
Zander's POV
I woke up with a pain in my stomach, like a deep gnash. I looked to the bed beside me to find Alex. I was kinda surprised we were both still alive. I wasn't sure how to respond. How do I say: Hi Alex! Why did you save me, you aren't the heartless sith I thought you were.
"How are yah feeling?" Alex asked. I was slightly shocked, he sounded so sincere.
"Good, you?" I asked deciding to be nice.
"I'm fine." He answered.
"Why did you save me?" I asked.
"Well, I know how sad Zoe would be if something was to happen to you. I knew that the rest of the crew would be crushed if something happened to you. Look I know we have never been friends, but, we are on the same side and in the same crew. They need us to fight the Empire, not each other." Alex explained.
"I agree, friends. For now." I explained.
"Deal." I said as we shook hands.
