I stood and watched anxiously as my father walked over to the group of men. They had been his friends in the past, but they hadn't spoken in some time. I heard the man yell something in Twi'lek only catching the part about credits. I watched the blue Twi'lek from my hiding place in the dark alley ways shadows. The obvious gang member pushed my father and started laughing. My father began to talk back to them in the same tongue they had just spoken. The Twi'lek looked in my direction then pulled out his blaster shooting my father multiple times. The buzz of the blaster echoed down the alley way 5 times. I flinched at each burst. I made a movement to step out when the gang had left but held back. I took in a breath and ran over to my dead father and looked over his body. He was clearly dead. Tears began to fill my eyes and I reached into his pocket pulling out what I could and quickly pushing them back into my own pockets. I felt something inside of me. It told me to run so thats what I did.
I quickly sat up awoken from my dream I was drenched in sweat as I lay on my bed roll. Looking around I set my head back on my pillow. It had almost been a year since he had been murdered. I still hadn't found out who the Twi'lek that killed my father was. His face still haunted my dreams. I looked around the small hut that was built for 3 but only sheltered me. I stood up realizing I had to be to the ship yard in just under 20 minutes. I quickly put on some of my fathers old clothing and ran down the walkway. The various creatures glared at me, I only looked at the Twi'lek creatures though in hope of finding my fathers murderer. I had been doing this since his death. I began to wonder if I would ever find him. Shaking my head I turned into the ship yard. I began to walk down the pathway now looking at what I thought used to be my friends but have always been enemies. They dont care whether your living or dead on this planet. I felt something rumble inside of me. It felt like an echo, then I could see a Bothan getting crushed by a large durasteel sheet. I turned down the walkway and heard a yell in Bothese and the sound of durasteel echoing down the shipyard. I stopped and looked at the crush Bothan and wondered how I knew that would happen before it did. I shrugged it off thinking I was just day dreaming and began to go to work. I was placing a slab of durasteel on a ship when a group of Rodians approached me. They didn't speak any language I knew but when they drew their blaster rifles I knew what they wanted and handed them all the credits I had on me. I sat down on the floor not knowing what to do. That was the money I had for food and I didn't wanna steal food from the upper class, they were getting suspicious. I looked at where I was loading the durasteel and began to think about sneaking onto the ship. I had no idea where it was going, but it had to be better than this planet. I stood and walked towards the ship when a fellow human came up and put his hand on my shoulder. "Hey kid... your off now.. why dont you go home." I looked up at the man and nodded walking out of the complex and back to the refugee sector. I didn't know what to do now. My stomach growled and I could see a family across from my shelter eating and thought of taking something from them to barter for food. I closed my eyes and calmed myself as my father had taught me. "I cant steal from those that are in the same place as me..." I closed my eyes and laid down on the bed roll. I whispered under my breath so only I could hear it "I dont know what to do...."
