Shiloh swallowed and looked gratefully at Winter. She balefully continued. "They were… just beginning top kill them. My beautiful sister was marched to the platform, and I couldn't do nothing. I pulled out my blaster and shot all of them. All of the thieves. Not one survived. Ayon was so mad at me, though. And I had disappointed her. Somehow. I was the hero. I saved the day. That's how Ayon saw it. I was just trying to save my sister. I couldn't live with Ayon's glares. So I… I left. I left my beautiful sister, and that is what I regret the most every day of my life. I left her on the no good… I left her out of my own misery. There's nothing I want more than to be with her gin. Just for one day. I can't even remember her face. All I remember about her is her name. Kula." Shiloh buried her face in her hands. "I'm so selfish," she whispered.
(Good Morning! Anyone On?)
(I'm here! Is Shiloh's story ok?)
(Yeah. I really like it! It's my turn right?)
(Thanks! I think so. You or Lavender.)
Winter looked at Shiloh. "This isn't your fault. You are not selfish. You couldn't help this as much as I could help my people. We will help you find your sister, and Essar's family."
"Thank you," Shiloh smiled.
Winter laughed. "You're Welcome Shiloh. Anyway, I think I need to get back to our bunk. I need to get some form of sleep…"
Winter headed back to her bunk, feeling almost too tired to do anything else. She hoped that her nightmares wouldn't bother her tonight, and if they decided to show up, she didn't know who she could turn too…
Essar walked down the hall. Hi-5 was in her closet. Probably shut down for a bit. "G'night 5"
As Winter settled in for the night, she had a feeling that her dreams were going to be very good, or very vivid. She hoped for the first one.
Elias was drifting off into a restless sleep, when he heard Essar walk in. He could have cared less, but he did have enough energy left to say, "Goodnight Essar…"
"Night Elias." Essar laid down.
(I don't know if she is…)
(I am here now! I'm sorry, I had gym.)
Shiloh followed Winter to the girl's bunks. She laid down and closed her eyes, but she didn't fall asleep just yet.
(I'm here, sorry had band… )
Winter was thinking. She feared sleep, she never wanted what happened to her, to happen to anyone else, yet it had. Then, she realized, that her bunk looked like the room that she hid in back on Hoth. Suddenly panic set in…
Essar sighed. He wouldn't be getting any sleep. To many memories pushing to the front of his mind.
Elias was quiet He was trying to sleep, but what Winter had said earlier, that he wasn't supposed to hear, was tormenting his mind. He just couldn't believe that his Winter, had kept that hidden from him, and was always so happy.
Shiloh heard Winter breathing heavily and she opened her eyes. Winter was standing above her bunk, her eyes widened in fear and horror. Shiloh sat up. "Winter? Are you ok?" She put a hand on Winter's arm, ignoring the piercing cold on her palm.
