Description

The rest of the crew dropped out of hyperspace above Lothal and not long afterwards, they found the stricken shuttle and quickly docked with it. Gaining access to the ship they found only Abigail inside, looking rather distressed.

"Abigail are you alright? Where are Sabine and Emily?" Hera asked, worried.

"S-Someone attacked us... Took them..." Abigail struggled to get the words out and then began to cough as some of the gas was still in her lungs. "They -u-used a gas to kn-kn-knock us out"

"That doesn't sound like something the Imperials would do" Zeb commented.

"Because it's not. This is a Bounty Hunter's doing" Kanan replied. "If they came and went with the twins without any other troubles. No doubt they're at their destination."

"But how do we go about finding them?" Zeb asked. "There's barely anything to go off with regards to who or what bounty hunter has got them"

As Zeb was talking, Abigail felt something poking at her, looking around she couldn't see anything physically doing it. She closed her eyes and began to see things. She saw glimpses of snow and forest. Then she saw something through Emily's eyes. She couldn't really make out what was going on. But something wasn't right. She then opened her eyes. "I know where Emily is!" She said as she grabbed the controls of the ship and got them on their way.

"Abigail what are you doing? We don't even have hyperspace co-ordinates" Hera replied, concerned by Abigail's actions.

"We don't need them. I'm using my instincts" Abigail replied as the ship jumped into hyperspace.

***

Having gotten frustrated with trying to talk to her mother, Emily sought out Sabine for comfort. Only to find a room guarded by 4 Clansmen. When she tried to get closer, they barred her from accessing the room. "The Countess has strict orders. No-one else is to see her" One of them said sternly.

"So it's gonna be like that is it?" Emily grumbled as she stormed back to where she came from. "Why is Sabine not allowed out of that room she's been held in. She's not a slave. She's-"

"An embarrassment to us. She brought shame upon the clan for her actions." Ursa interrupted.

"Shame?!" Emily retorted, getting even more frustrated with her mother acting this way. "Do you not think about how Sabine must be feeling? I've not been told much but you hurt her too."

"She forced my hand. Had I not cast Sabine out, you and I would not be having this conversation."

"But that doesn't solve the problem of what you did to her! You betrayed her trust!"

“I will talk with Sabine shortly. She will tell me why her actions led to what the Empire did to you” Ursa said as she got up off her throne and headed for where Sabine was being held.

“DON’T TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT” Emily yelled. She'd tolerated her mother talking harshly about Sabine for too long.

"Ellhea, you are delusional to think Sabine is as good as she has made herself to you. She failed to protect her clan and her family. It is because of her-" Ursa scolded before Emily cut her off

"I’m delusional? You’re the delusional one to think you’re safe in the Empire still. And Sabine has been doing just fine protecting her family. The one that still accepts her that way at least. Because if it wasn't for her intervention. I'd be coming back here cold and not warm!"

Ursa firmly approached Emily and smacked her across the face. "You will not talk to me in that manner, young one" She said. Emily brought her hand up to the side of her face and she slowly turned back to face her mother. But when she turned her face back to face Ursa, her eye wasn't Brown. It was grey...

Without warning, Emily's other hand grabbed tightly at Ursa's throat. “The tides of war relentlessly drown me in blood. What difference will it make if I spill your's?”

Ursa tried to answer but was just choking as one of the Clan Wren guards demanded Emily let go of the Countess.

Emily simply looked at them with the same expression she had just given her 'mother'. "I have a different proposal. You let Sabine out of her room, bring her to me, insult us no more, and maybe, once you give your word for our freedom, I'll let you go." She said coldly.

Ursa hesitantly gestured as best as she could for the guards to stand down and once Emily was satisfied, she let go of Ursa after shoving her away. But as soon as that happened she suddenly clutched her head in pain and collapsed.

Sabine was quickly released and headed for the main chamber to find Emily still lying on her side. "What did you do!" Sabine yelled.

"I did nothing wrong. She attacked me" Ursa replied simply.

"You've gotta have given her something to snap at" Sabine replied as she knelt down beside her twin. "C'mon, Em. Wake up"

"Sabine? What's wrong with her?" Tristan asked, confused by the whole situation.

Emily then began to stir and she slowly began to open her eyes. "S-S-Sa?" She muttered, not knowing if Sabine was there.

"I'm here, Em" Sabine said softly.

Sabine carefully picked her twin up and carried her to her room, carefully laying her down on her bed before she headed out to confront her mother about what she had missed.

Ursa was still where she had left her. They then head out onto the balcony so that they could talk alone. Before Ursa could speak, Sabine began. "What just happened?" She quizzed.

"She came at me, completely unprovoked" Ursa answered

"Oh I hardly believe that. She doesn't get angry unless you push the wrong buttons" Sabine replied, not believing her mother's answer.

"She didn't like that I spoke the truth"

"Truth about what? About me?" Sabine answered. "I had to leave to save the clan! You really expected me to soldier on with that on my conscience?"

Ursa didn't respond.

"I trusted you to help me get out of there. But you turned away..." Sabine said. "In my hour of need I thought my mother would help me escape"

"It was not a choice I wanted to make. I was forced to denounce you in case they retaliated against us for what you did"

"What I did was right. And I will always stand up to that. I don't plan on living with another one of those machine's threatening my people" Sabine said firmly before walking away to check on Emily.

Sabine entered her room expecting to see Emily still laying on the bed. Instead, Emily was up and looking at a little doll. Sabine recognised it immediately, it had been the doll her father made for her when she was younger. "So this is the life I missed out on" Emily said quietly. "Why is she like that? What made her that way?" Emily asked, turning to her twin.

"It's what's been drummed into her head since she was little from what Father once said. And partly because of what happened a few years back." Sabine answered.

"What happened?"

"I was young... and stupid. I made something I regretted so I destroyed it and spoke out against the Empire. But in my hour of need. She turned away. She left me behind..."

Emily frowned. "How could she do that? I thought-"

"I know, Em... Mandalorians are about family" Sabine said quietly. "I'm sorry that Mother isn't what you thought she'd be"

"At least we still have Hera. Who actually cares for us" Emily replied, still showing a hint of anger.

"Oh Karabast. We never reported in. They've gotta have gone looking for us"

"If Abbi is still on the shuttle. They'll have found her. But... How do we contact them?"

***
The shuttle dropped out of hyperspace and Abigail overlooked the planet below. "She's here. I know she is" Abigail said firmly.

"Go careful. We don't know what we're up against" Kanan cautioned as the ship began it's descent.

"Countess. There's a ship entering the atmosphere" One of the Clan Wren Warriors said. "It's not a design we're familiar with"

"establish contact with them. It's likely a ship that has gotten lost" Ursa said simply.

Aboard the shuttle, the comm came to life. "State your business here" a voice came.

Not sure to pose as a friend or foe, Abigail nervously reached for the comm button on the console. "Pardon us. We were supposed to meet up with our business partners in this sector but they have missed their check in. We have been searching other planetary systems for clues."

A uneasy pause filled the shuttle as they wondered if their contacts bought their story. "Regardless, you are trespassing into Clan Wren territory. Leave now or be destroyed."

"Clan Wren? That's Emily and Sabine's family right?" Abigail asked the others.

"More than likely" Hera replied

"Spectre 6 do you hear me?" Abigail asked on her comm, hoping Emily would pick up as she was certain Emily was planetside. "C'mon. Pick up" she quietly asked. "Spectre 6 do you hear me? Respond"

As she sat on her throne, Ursa heard the voice come through the communicators that Boba had handed to her after taking them off the twins alongside their weapons. She ignored it however. It was not of importance to her. A few moments later Sabine and Emily came back into the main hall. Suddenly Emily heard Abigail's voice and ran over, grabbing her communicator.

"Spectre 6 here. Spectre 7 is that you?" Emily answered.

A sigh of relief came from the other end. "Are you alright down there? We need help getting down to you"

Emily simply looked up to Ursa, knowing that Ursa had agreed to let them go. "Let the ship land" Ursa said simply.

"You may land on pad two" The Mandalorian warrior told Hera and Hera guided the ship down to the planet. They landed shortly afterwards. Awaiting them were Sabine and Emily.

"Did you know they would both be here?" Zeb asked Abigail

"I uh... Not exactly?" Abigail replied, rather surprised to find both twins there.

Ursa came up to her daughters with Tristan beside him. "I assume these are people you know. A rather odd bunch." she commented after seeing the crew.

"They're our crew. Our other Family." Emily explained.

"I see." Ursa said simply. "Well I cannot keep you here as much as I would want to protect you here." Ursa replied. "But should Saxon know that both of you were here? I would not risk that chance" Ursa said as she handed back their weapons. "Just look after one another. We will see one another again sometime"

The twins then headed back to their crew and after they assured Hera they were ok. They headed off and back to the Rebel fleet.

"You alright?" Abigail asked Emily as Emily sat down beside her.

"I'll be ok. It was... An interesting reunion with my birth mother"

"Was she not all you thought she'd be?" Abigail asked.

"Yeah... Given what Sabine had told me about Mandalorian traditions. I didn't expect that"

"Well your safe now" Abigail said softly. "You don't have to worry now. I'm here"

"I know." Emily replied with a smile, confident she wanted to spend her life with this girl.
