The Jedi Falls Family

Chapter 1


"Max! Max, no!" Danny screamed. She was in her bed room in the cabin she lived in with her twin brother Jesse in a place called Jedi Falls. Jedi Falls was a beautiful place. It had a waterfall, and there was a forest that went on for miles.
Danny was eighteen years old. When she was eight years old, her older brother, Max, had died to save her life. He drank a potion that three evil witches by theme of Sarah, Mary, and Winnefred Sanderson. Three hundred years before Max was killed, they tricked a girl named Emily Binx into drinking the potion, and her older brother Thackery tried to save her, but was too late. The witches put a curse on him, turning him into a cat, and he would never die.

Danny suddenly sat up, tears running down her cheeks. She looked around the room. Then, she got up, walked toward the door where her cloak was hanging, put it on, and walked outside.

The summer air was cool, and relaxing. Danny looked around and saw a tall figure standing on top of the Falls and couldn't help but smile. His name was Rei Kisaragi, and he was not only one of her best friends, but he was like a big brother to her, and that's why he had adopted her as his sister. He was also her body guard. She was a Jedi Princess, and had a lot of enemies.

She walked toward him and stopped near him. He wore a black cloak with the hood up, had brown hair, and deep blue eyes. Eyes like Max's. Sweet and innocent, Danny thought.
"What are you doing up?" He asked in his big brotherly tone. He didn't need to turn and look at her to know it was her. He sensed it through the Force.
"I..." She couldn't finish her sentence, and he knew right away. He turned and looked at her. She avoided his gaze the best she could.

"He'd be proud of you, you know," He said. He took his hand and used it to turn her head to look at him. "Just like I am of you."

"Proud of me? I'm a stubborn, eighteen year old princess who can't even manage to protect herself from being captured, how can you be proud of me?" Danny asked. Rei had to laugh at that.

"You are stubborn at times, Danny, I can't argue with that," Rei said.

"Like brother, like sister, Rei," She countered with a grin.

"Ooh, that was low," Rei said. She smiled.
"You still love me though, right?" She asked.
"Of course I do, you little knuckle head. Come here," Rei answered. He took his arm and put it around her, making her bend down, and gave her a noogy. She laughed, and screamed.

"Rei!" She screamed. He laughed with her, and let go.

"Feel better now?" Rei asked.

"Yeah," Danny answered.

"Good. Now off to bed. Scoot," He said.
She saluted mockingly, "Yes, Sir."

Rei rolled his eyes. "Good night, Danny."

"Night, Rei," She said. She walked back toward her cabin, and went back to sleep.

The next day, Danny walked out of the cabin and looked around. She wore a dress, her hair down in a braid, and a locket that her brother had given her. She looked around, and saw all of her friends, Rei, his wife Syria, Alex, and Obi-Dan Jaku, all talking. Danny walked toward them.

Dan, a tall man with brown hair and hazel eyes, looked toward her.

"Danielle, we've got some bad news," Dan said. She would have said something like, 'Dan, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Danny?' But knew he was being serious.

"What is it?" She asked. She knew it could be one of two things: the witches, or Darth Zool and Darth Vengiance. Zool and Vengiance were two of Danny's enemies. They had captured and interrogated her, having wanted her to turn to the dark side, but she refused.

"There's a bounty on you for your capture. Zool and Vengiance put it out," Rei said. Danny stepped back.

"No..." She said. Rei went toward her and hugged her. Danny started crying and hid her face in his shirt. After a minute, Rei took his hand and used it to make her look at him.

"I'm going to protect you and not let them get you, Danny. All of us are. I promise. Okay?" Rei said.

"Yeah. Thanks, you guys," Danny said, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Hey, you're our friend, Danny. Friends help each other," Rei said.

"Just like brothers and sisters help each other?" She asked.
Rei had to smile at that, "Yes, just like brothers and sisters help each other."

"Good, so that means when Zool and Vengeance come, I can help kick their boots so good, they won't know what hit them," Danny said.

Everyone laughed, and Rei said, "Danny," in his big brother tone.

Danny matched his tone. "Rei. I'll be fine. I've seen you train enough to be able to fight the troopers. And if not, well, that's what you're there for, big brother," Danny said. Everyone laughed and Danny hid behind Alex, as if expecting to get tickled or something, but all Rei did was laugh and shake his head.

Weeks, and soon months passed. No one had tried to capture Danny.

One day, there was a knock on the door. Danny opened the door and saw Syria there.

"Hey, Danny. Can I talk to you?" Syria asked.

"Sure. What about?" Danny answered.

Syria walked in and Danny closed the door.

"It's about Rei..." Syria said.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Danny asked.

"He's turned to the dark side, Danny..." Syria said.

"No..." Danny said. She ran into her room and shut the door behind her. Syria sighed and walked back into the Falls, leaving Danny alone for a while.

Later, Danny came out of the cabin and into the Falls. Instantly her heart began to hurt when she saw Rei standing by his favorite tree with Syria. She started to walk to the top of the Falls, trying hard not to cry.
"Danny, come here," Rei called. She stopped walking. She turned and walked toward Rei and Syria. Danny looked down at the ground.

"Danny...I'm sorry...I'm not on the dark side anymore...I don't know what got into me, but it won't happen again," Rei apologized. Danny looked up at him, tears rolling down her cheeks. He took her into a hug, and they stood there, hugging for a few minutes. Then Danny stepped back. Rei took something from his pocket. It was a ring with a red dragon on it.
"Hey, Danny," Rei said. She looked up and tossed the ring to her. She caught it, and looked at it. She smiled.

"Thank you, Rei. I'll wear it forever, I promise," She said. Rei smiled back.
