In the Frozen [Cal Kestis x Reader] (Complete)

A few days have passed since Y/n's arrival.
Cere and Cal take turns in watching her. She has been very silent ever since she heard of Trilla's passing.
The inquisitor never tried to flee or attack the crew.
She's very calm.

"You feeling okay", Cal asks the girl in front of him. "Do I look like I'm okay?"
She has a point.

Dark eye circles decorate her pale face. Her eyes are lifeless and her lips are dry.
"I'm sorry", The male quickly says.
"I can feel your pain in a way." Cal sits down next to her.
"I was in the middle of the murder of the Jedis. My master was killed before my eyes."
The girl looks up in curiosity.
"Order 66", She suddenly says. "My master was killed as well. I only survived because I became an Inquisitor."

Cal looks up at her with sadness in his eyes. "And then", He asks.
"I did what they told me to do. I ended up killing more innocent people than I thought but that was after I did all those horrible things."

Then Cal realizes something.
"The other Inquisitor. She didn't kill the clones did she."

The girl falls silent and looks at the ground. "I had no choice. She sensed my inner conflict."
"Yet you did something that could change everything", Cal says while putting his hand on the girl's shoulder.
"You destroyed an outpost that would have ended the rebels on that planet."
"I know." Y/n shakes off Cal's hand.

"I don't want to be one of them anymore."
"Then be one of us."
"A rebel? I'd rather stay in hiding after all this."
Cal gets up from the couch and kneels before Y/n.
"You know all their plans don't you."
"Only the ones involving Inquisitors and their troops."
Cal smiles. "That's enough. You can help us defeat the empire."

The male senses uneasiness in the girl's heart. She's scared of the consequences.

"We can help you. I can help you become sure of yourself."
The girl looks up and into Cal's eyes.
"Are you sure about this?"
"I've never been more sure in my life."

Y/n looks down at the ground and then back up at the male in front of her.
"Then what's the plan?"
Cal smiles as he hears her decision.
He became fond of her and wants to clear her inner conflict. It's almost the same as with Trilla.

"Cere. Where are we headed", Cal asks as the woman comes out of the cockpit.
"We're headed for Ilum."
"Aren't they building a new base there?"
"Yes, and we have to at least set a sign by damaging it."
Y/n looks up at the former Jedi Master.

"It won't be easy", She says as she stands up from the couch.
"There will be troops everywhere and at least two Inquisitors. It's a high risk."
Cere glares at the girl in front of her.

"It's a risk we have to take." Then she walks off.

"Don't worry about Cere. She may not like you at first but she'll eventually come around."
Y/n looks at Cal as he gets up from the ship's floor.

"We're about to land", Greez shouts from the cockpit.
"Come." The red haired male holds out his hand for Y/n to take.
She refuses and walks past Cal into the cockpit to sit down in a free seat.

Then the ship leaves light speed. The whole crew's eyes widen.

Ilum is not the same as it was before.

"The base is being build all around the planet, like a ring", Y/n explains.
"I don't exactly know what their plan is except for getting the crystals."

"It doesn't matter right now", Cere growls. "Ilum was a sacred planet to the Jedi. We must do something."
"Why would you want to protect something that is long gone", Y/n suddenly asks leaving the whole crew silent.

Greez lands the ship where the imperial troops can't find them.

"Y/n and I will go here while you, Cere, will come from here. This reactor is our target", Cal explains.
Y/n nods and gets ready for her first mission.

She takes off parts of her Inquisitor uniform, leaving the pants and a black shirt, and puts on a coat fitting for Ilum's temperatures.

Before the three leave the ship Cere holds Cal back.

"How do we know we can trust her", She asks with anger in her voice.
Cal sighs.

"We don't."
