Chapter one

Cynna Rohl crouched down behind a bush, hunting her prey. First order troopers had been scouting the mountains near her home for several weeks now. Look for something, or someone. The planet Yepra was a small trading planet in a far corner of the galaxy usually ignored by everyone but wayward ships. Its mountainous terrain was harsh and the climate temperamental, but it was home. And Cynna would be damned if she let the First Order scum take over it, with a feline-like grace she leaped from her hiding spot and speared the closet trooper. Spinning she ripped her dagger from its sheath on her hip and plunged it into the neck of the next startled man. A fierce cry pierced the air as she thrust into the next and final trooper with her now bloody dagger. She jerked the spear out of the first man she had downed, grimacing at the wet sound that followed. There had to be more. She needed to find the ship that they had come down on. Their tracks led down the small animal path towards the base of the mountain. They probably landed down by Qlun lake. It was the flattest piece of land within thirty klicks.

The sooner she could get rid of them all the sooner she could get back to her quiet life of hunting and gardening. Her animal hide boots slapped the earth dully as she ran down the path, her dark hair loose and billowing behind her. The cool mountain air dried the sweat beads on her forehead. The blaster strapped to her back bouncing with unfamiliar weight. She hardly used such ugly and clumsy weapons, but in a pinch, they had their uses and if she was going to ride her home of first order she'd need a long range weapon. The more she could pick off from a distance the easier it'd be and less of a chance she'd be injured even though troopers were notoriously bad shots.

Within thirty minutes she had found the ship. It was a standard assault lander, meaning two squads were on her planet. She'd taken down three so only seventeen remained. Shimming up a tree she perched herself on the branch, readying her blaster she took aim on the closest trooper. Taking a steadying breath she let off a shot, then vaulted into another tree, avoiding an on-slaughter of misaimed blaster shots. Jumping several trees over she let off several calculated blasts and then she bounded through the trees again. The troopers were formless despite the barking commands of their superiors. She had the advantage of camouflage and mobility.

Once she had picked off about ten or so she dropped down out of the trees and started her melee attack on the troopers. That's when she saw him. He was dressed in all black, his mask accented with chrome. In his hand was his infamous lightsaber. Kylo Ren. She was just about to start her retreat when her body froze in its place. Kylo Ren stared directly at her, or at least she thought he did, with his hand stretched outwards. The remaining Troopers, eight or so, surrounded her and confiscated her weapons. Kylo Ren strode towards her arrogantly.

"So you're the one who keeps dispatching the troopers. I would have thought you to be more... Well, I thought there would have been more of you," He turned to the troopers and barked off orders," Load her on the transport."

Kylo Ren let his hold on her fall away and she immediately threw off the Troopers holding her. They stumbled to the ground and she flew back towards the forest before She felt the iron grip of the force close in around her. She growled in frustration.

"Do not think I would have let you get away so easily." Kylo said frigidly, dragging her back to the ship. Frustration arised in her as her chances of escape dwindled to non-existent.
