I, Jedi Knight
Prologue
It was just a day like any other, with a few differences. For one, it was winter, so it was very cold: for another, I was walking home from school.
"Damn Mr. Morrison!" I cursed under my breath. Go figure that the one day I can't find my uniform pants is the day he decides to come around to the classes and check uniforms. My high school is very strict about the uniforms, especially with us grade 9s. He had given me a half-hour after school detention meaning I had to walk the almost whole kilometre home. Plus, just to top it off, it was snowing. Worse, though, would be my mother's reaction when she found out I had gotten detention.
It was not the best day, by any standard.
Suddenly, as I was going up the hill to my house, I saw a shape move in the catwalk that leads to the forest behind my street. Of course I went to investigate. When I approached the shape, it fled into the forest. I gave chase.
I managed to catch up with the figure at the river. I thought I had it pinned at the creek, but as I watched, the figure took a few steps and leapt to the other bank, almost 3 metres away.
I stopped in my tracks. No ordinary human could jump so far. I just stared as the figure jumped back across the river and approached me.
"You are surprised," the figure said. Judging by the voice, the figure was an old woman.
Somehow I recognized that voice, although I could not place it. Mentally I ran through a list of my friends and family, but I was sure that no one I knew had that voice.
"Who... Who are you?" I asked.
"You do not recognize me. I expected as much." She raised a hand. "Sleep."
I immediately felt a wave of exhaustion come over me. The last thing I saw was a metal cylinder on her belt, and then everything went black.
The mysterious old woman looked down at me. "I will take us where we need to go. You are needed there more than you are here, if I am right about you."
Then she raised her hand again, and with a flash, we were gone.
Author's Note: This is the first story I have ever written that was not submitted as a school project or kept for my own enjoyment. Please give me constructive criticism. Also, I have not decided where to place myself in the KotOR 2 universe. The options are Peragus or the Harbinger, so if you review, please tell me your choice.
