Title: Torn Apart
Summary: Qui-gon survives Maul and takes Anakin Skywalker as his Padawan, leaving behind an Apprentice filled with pain and bitter resentment. AU. Post-TPM.
Disclaimer: Star Wars belongs to George Lucas, I make no money from this.
A/n: this is something I'm trying out my hand at, hope ya like it, I know it's abit short, but ah well, and it's in Obi's pov.
He left me for someone else, my Master left me.
The one I loved and trusted nearly half of all my life, the one I was always loyal to. In an instance, he dropped me and turned away, not caring about me anymore.
Master Qui-gon.
No. He's no more my master.
He's someone else's Master now.
Anakin Skywalker, it was all his fault. He took Qui-gon away from me. Anakin was just a boy, but Qui-gon said it was the will of the Force to train him. Qui-gon disobeyed the Council's advice, and went his own way, not knowing – or really bothering – how much he hurt me. Am I jealous? Maybe I am, but it's not that kind of jealousy, like when someone else has a toy or something I really want. It's a different kind.
So, my Master left me. And I hate them both, Anakin and Qui-gon. I don't know who I hate more – I never thought I could have hated my Master. Hate leads to the Dark side, I know, but what does it matter? I'm not going to be a Jedi for much longer. Who would choose a Padawan this old? I'm so close and yet so far, to Knighthood.
That's not all. When Qui-gon chose me, he made an unspoken promise that all Masters make, to train me as best he could until I became a Knight. He broke that promise. On the spur of the moment, he dumped me and took on Anakin Skywalker.
Anakin takes my place at Qui-gon's side. I belong to no-one, soon I will belong no-where, in four weeks. No longer a Jedi. It frightens me, but I can only hope something good will happen, while knowing, deep in my heart, that nothing will. The Bond between us has been torn apart, I do not think it would ever be mended.
a/n: thanks for reading, I'll put up the next chapter, maybe either Tuesday or Saturday or so, I know it's a long time, but I'll try and upload earlier. :) – wild horse
