Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the OCs. And those are MINE and you cannot have them!

A deafening explosion sent shards of shrapnel flying all around me, rocking the ground under my petite feet as I struggled for balance. My little heart raced inside my chest, feeling like it would burst at any moment now. All of the sights and sounds around me confused me and started to blend together and to mesh into one giant blob full of color that kept twisting and turning; never the same. I was so confused and lost that I couldn't help but feel panic rising within me.

I quickly pushed down the feeling and tried to do as my master said; I searched through the Force for peace and calm. To my horror, there was none to be found on this battlefield. There was so much fear, anguish, pain and hatred. I had never experienced anything like this, I had no clue what to do.

So, I did the thing that my body wanted to do most. I ran. I didn't even know where I was running to. Just any place away from all of this death, all of this carnage. My master had never told me about anything like this.

I didn't get far though, because blocking my path were several B2 Super Battle Droids. They were currently occupied by several Clone Troopers, who were firing on them from behind several large rocks. There were quite a few bleeding bodies scattered all around the area, probably laid there by the droids I was currently looking at.

And to my horror, one of the droids seemed to have noticed my presence off to the side of their little battle. 'Oh, no,' was my only thought as the B2 started to unleash a stream of shots right at me.

Had I leaped out of the way a second later, I would have been a goner. But luckily, due to the distance that the mini battle was taking place away from me, I had enough time to judge the directions of the shots and leap out of their way.

Growing tired of my antics, the droid started to march its way towards me, coming closer and closer. 'Great, now what do I do,' I thought with despair.

Quickly looking around for a place to take cover and hide, I noticed a small little alcove that's entrance was facing away from me. And just to my luck, my small size would allow me to be able to crawl into the small crag, but the bulky B2 would never fit.

I glanced back over to the droid and saw that it was about 15 feet away, and closing fast. Deciding that there was absolutely no more time to dawdle, I sprinted for the opening.

Making it, I leapt over the small rock and landed right in front of the opening. I quickly started to squeeze through, finding it rather tight. As soon as I got in though, I was dismayed to find that the small crag was even smaller that I had first thought.

With my back flat against the back wall, I was within reaching distance of the opening. Starting to think that this was a bad idea, I started to crawl back out. My struggle was quickly halted though, when thudding footsteps came within my hearing range from outside my hide out.

A cold sweat broke out across my brow as I realized that I may of made the worst decision of my short life. Trying to hide in that small place would be my downfall, I realized.

Seeing the shadow of the droid start to inch towards me, I realized that no one would even know that I was here. I should never have snuck on that ship to be with my Master. I should have stayed at the Temple like I was told to.

I wish that I could take it all back. Just to be able to go back and tell myself not to do it; to just stay behind on this one.

I desperately sought out my Master through the Force. I wanted for him to at least know that I was sorry that I had disobeyed him. I wanted for at least one person to know that I was here on this stupid red, sandy planet that was way too dry and hot for my taste.

And when I finally felt him, I poured all of my thoughts through our bond and into him. I could feel his shock, his bewilderment at me being there. Because, a battlefield like this one was no place for a young Jedi Padawan like me.

Finally noticing that the sun was completely blocked out and there were no more foot steps out side, I closed my eyes. And to my surprise, I felt two trails of water trace a path down my dusty cheeks. The water droplets then proceeded to fall down onto my Jedi robes, where they were finally absorbed.

Brought back to the B2 problem, I was shaken out of my surprise by dirt hitting my face. Confused, I shielded my eyes and looked at what the droid was doing. Having realized that he couldn't reach me through the small opening, he was taking his fist and beating away at the opening, slowly making it bigger.

Right as the hole was just about big enough to allow the droid to reach in and drag me out, his attention was turned away from me. Seeing this as probably the last opportunity that I would have to get away and escape, I took my chances.

Quickly squirming my way out of the hole, I immediately saw what had the droid's attention. A grenade had just been lobed at its feet. I never even had the chance to turn away as it exploded.

My world was suddenly lit on fire. Heat licked at my skin and gripped at my robes, completely out doing the heat of the desert that I had so loathed before. Dust found its way into my heaving lungs, as I fought for each breathe. Shrapnel and stone dug its way into the soft tissue of my face. My eyes immediately clamped shut, but too late it seemed.

All I could do was lay there in anguish, each and every part of my body finding a way to scream at me. Never before had I felt such pain. But the pain of my whole body put together wouldn't even compare to the shear AGONY that radiated from my eyes.

I couldn't even tell if they were still in their sockets. Having someone scoop then out with a spoon would probably feel better than this. It was like each and every nerve ending in them were on fire. I tried to focus on something, anything, to take my mind off of the pain. If I had to suffer through this any longer, I thought I might just go insane.

Finally, the ringing in my ears subsided enough that I could hear voices. HUMAN voices, and they were headed in my direction. Thinking that this could be my only chance, I tried to call out. But, no sound would leave my throat. It's like my wind pipe was suddenly full of glass.

It didn't matter though, because the voices were headed straight towards me. Trying to identify the people better, I reached out with the Force and found that it was the clones that I had seen earlier fighting with the other B2s.

They very quickly reached me, and I could hear their voices, but for some reason I couldn't understand them. I KNEW that they were speaking Basic, but I COUDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM! It frustrated and confused me to no end.

There was a pause in their chatter, and I wondered what was happening. My question was answered when I felt a prick along my neck and the pain finally started to become tolerable. But that's not all it did, it made me want to sleep.

And sleep I did, a sleep so deep that nothing could disturb me. I was peacefully floating in dream land, when I started to sink. I sunk faster and faster and the world around me got darker and darker. It continued until I couldn't see anything, and it was then that I woke up.

But it was then that the real nightmare started. Because I was trapped in the darkness, never to escape again.
