The End
Chapter: 1
Obi-Wan stood before the Jedi council with his Master Qui-Gin Jinn. They were being briefed on a mission that they were being sent on. There was a dispute on a planet between two nations. The negotiations had to be handled very carefully. If one thing went wrong there would be all out war. The Jedi team had to be very tedious with this mission and be on alert at all times.
"This will be a very dangerous mission. There's no guarantee that things will go over smoothly. If things start to fall apart contact us immediately." Mace Windu folded his hands on his lap and looked to Qui-Gon. "Things could shatter and you're lives could be in serious danger ." This time he looked at Obi-Wan.
The young fourteen year old nodded with understanding. Yes, he knew there was much danger in this mission.
The two bowed as they prepared to leave. Qui-Gon led his apprentice out and they made their way to the lift.
As the two stood in the lift, Qui-Gon could feel an anxiety emanating off of the small boy beside him. "Nervous?"
Obi-Wan looked up at his master. He very well couldn't lie. Not now that Qui-Gon could feel his anxiety. "Yes, I'm afraid so. I just have a terrible feeing about this. Like everything will fall apart."
Qui-Gon smiled. "You're just being paranoid. I don't feel anything. We'll just have to be careful not to let it fall apart." Qui-Gon stepped out of the lift and headed to their apartment to gather his belongings for their trip.
Obi-Wan waited a moment before following his master. "It wont be that easy…" He mumbled.
Qui-Gon turned. "What's that?" The door to their apartment opened and he waited for his apprentice to catch up.
Obi-Wan hurried his step and stepped through the door not responding. This whole mission was a bad idea. It seemed hopeless. What was it about the mission? Why was he afraid?
Qui-Gon wondered the same thing. He stood at the boy's doorway his pack on his shoulder. Obi-Wan seemed dazed about the mission. "If you don't want to go we can talk to the council about it."
Obi-Wan shook his head. "No, It's too late now." He hauled his pack onto his shoulder and followed Qui-Gon out to their transport.
They were going to the planet of Ranel, to negotiate a treaty between two nations before all out war broke out.
Obi-Wan didn't think they'd make a difference. It was a day and a half journey to the planet. He figured he might as well get some sleep. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.
He stood in a broken down building. He could see the sky through the holes in the roof. It was red and black as though the whole world were burning and dying. He stepped out onto the burnt petrified porch. The city around him was broken and burnt. The trees were black and from having been burnt. But how were they burnt? Where were the people. In the roads there were piles of dust and burnt fragments of bone. He looked down the hill and saw that the low ground of the city was under water. The water was red from the reflected sky. He stepped off the porch and into the street and began wandering. The alleyways and
buildings were dark and broken. The emptiness frightened him.
Something grabbed his ankle. He turned and looked down and saw the half of a body holding him. The legs and half the torso was gone. The face was almost melted off. An eye was hanging loose and the bone could be seen through the melted flesh and muscle. "…He…e…eeel…p…m…eeee……eeeee……" He shook the person off. It was impossible to tell if it was male or female anymore. He ran until he reached a fallen building. He climbed it to the top and walked across the broken roof. When he reached the other side it was a drop into the flooded city. About Twenty feet below was nothing but water and ocean and read and black sky. There was nothing left. Nothing to live for. He jumped. He fell twenty feet then fifty or more after that until he finally touched the cement bottom. He closed his eyes. He didn't want to see the ruin around him, the bodies and destruction. He was drifting away in both body and life. He felt hands on his shoulders. They were after him.
He opened his eyes to see Qui-Gon looking at him. His master held him by the shoulders. He looked around himself. He was on the ship to Ranel. Yes, That's right. Obi-Wan sat up took a breath. He wasn't breathing. He stopped breathing when he hit the water. The water, where was the water? No it was a dream. Yes that's right. The water was a dream.
He felt so disoriented. He placed his head in his hands.
"Are you alright?" Qui-Gon sat next to the boy and hesitantly placed an arm around his shoulders.
"I had a dream. At least…"
"At least what?" Qui-Gon pulled Obi-Wan closer.
"At least I thought it was dream." He felt himself drift closer to Qui-Gon's warmth. He wanted it; he leaned into it. "It was strange, frightening."
"Tell me about it." Qui-Gon spoke softly to try and soothe the confused child.
[okay.. So the beginning chapter is kind of ….rough.. In my view anyway… maybe its because I've bee writing it in chopped pieces so it doesn't SEEM like it flows…. But it does seem pretty lame. I got the idea for this fic from a video I saw on you tube… if you wanna see it let me know I'll give you the link to it. I like the video a lot.. But its also pretty creepy. Once you watch the video you'll see where this fic is going.
