"JOIN US!" A woman's voice yelled as the branch tightened its grip, vibrating as something climbed up towards me. I threw my right hand down in a panic and drew my lightsaber I slashed wildly behind me and fell forward before I smelled the burned wood, "NO!" her voice was now mixed with Mallory's.

I woke up clutching at my throat only to meet gauze, "Sweetie, you're awake, I woke up when you knocked over your bedside table a-and you were choking on blood and there was so much coming from your neck, I got you here as soon as I could," mom had thrust herself onto my bed and clutched me. "What is happening? You get abducted and you're not even safe at home," I wrapped my self around her, her warmth was welcome.

"I don't know what's happening," I told her, "but I do know only the princesses can help me now," leaning back into the bed only one thing came to me, "Don't let them give me anything, I need to stay awake," I mumbled out before focusing on the ceiling. Mom gave me one last squeeze and a kiss on my forehead. I focused my mind and entered a serene state, I could feel the whispers of the force surround me, I could feel it work away at the knots that had developed through my muscles.


I discharged myself from the hospital the next morning and made my way to the palace. The guards were kind enough to point me in the direction of Princess Luna's room, standing before her door brought my purpose of being here to the forefront of my mind, I reached out a clenched hand and knocked on the door.
