Barriss POV

I felt nervous. This was going to be my first major battle. I was scared of what can happen to me and my friends. I was worried that I would fail. I-

My thoughts were interrupted as my Master, Luminara Unduli, laid a hand on my shoulder. "Relax your nerves my padawan. Stay focused." Her voice was soft and allowed me to to calm down.

I took a deep breath and said "Yes Master." I reply

I looked around the arena. The amount of bugs in the coliseum was easily over 1,000. Master Windu had said that I would help attack at the south side and my master the west.

I bit my lip. I was never away from my master during battles or fights. I was not shore about my skills on my own. "Get to your side of the arena." Said Master Windu. This was it. But before I stared to my side I felt a shudder fear trough the bond me and my master share, but was covered up quickly.

I turn around to see my master looking at me. Her face had her normal calm look but through her eyes I saw something else but didn't know what. She formed a smile and said to me "May the Force be with you."

I smiled back and replied "And may the Force be with you Master."

I bow and start walking to the south side. I was scared yes, but no turning back now.

Luminara POV

I watch as my padawan walks to the south side of the arena. I was worried beyond belief for my padawan. Not that she couldn't handle herself but because even with her skills I fear she will get hurt.

I care about my padawan to much to lose her here. I know I shouldn't think that about her, attachments are forbidden for a Jedi. But over the years that I have known her she has grown on me. She is like the daughter I will never have. I loved her and I couldn't let anything happen to her.

I come back to my senses when a loud horn blows. I look down at the three beasts heading toward Master Kenobi, his padawan Anakin Skywalker, and Senator Amidala. The fight was about to begin.

There will be more chapters to explain how I think Barriss survived the arena and what she and her master were thinking during the battle. Thank you and May the Force be with you.
