My Mirror's Self

Note: Raichel Olin is one of the characters that I created.

Prologue

Coruscant: 35 A.B.Y

"Were you afraid of Sith when you were my age?" seven year old Leila asked the brown haired 22 year old that had just entered the room.

"No, when I was your age I didn't even know about the force." Replied Raichel Olin to the seven year old whose brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail.

"Really, what was life like for you then?" Asked Leila being curios.

"Well my brother Raidar and I had just started living with our Uncle Jace." Replied Raichel somberly, probably thinking about her…brother one of the many loses of the first battle of Coruscant … so had her Uncle Jace Towie.

"Why weren't you living with your parents?" asked Leila her brown eyes questioning.

"My father was … destroyed when we were five… and our mother…" said Raichel somberly her voice trailing off as if she had something horrible to say. "Abandoned us after that."

"Why would she do that?" asked Leila. "Didn't she love you …?"

She nodded subtly then said. "But from what I know now… I'd say that she had severe depression… or maybe even schizophrenia." She appeared near tears.

"I'm sorry." Said Leila giving her a quick hug.

"It's okay…Leila." Said Raichel as a red haired 22 year old entered the room.

"Raichel… Master Skywalker wants to talk to us about our upcoming mission." Said Autumn Kar addressing her friend then she turned to the seven year old and said. "Leila, your mom wants to have a chat with you… before the mission."

"This better not be like the time she told me Jag was not my Father!" explained Leila referring to the chat they had …about five monthes ago.

"No I don't think it will be like that…it's about the mission." Said Autumn perhaps a bit too quickly.

"Good." Said Leila, but even still she changed the subject. "What was your life like when you were my age?'

"My sisters… Ashoka and Jessalia and I moved from our home of Dathimar to Corellia, with our father after our mother's death." Said Autumn somberly.

"How did your mother…?" asked Leila before her sentence trailed off.

"It is a fact that I don't know… but there are many theories, including being eaten by a Rancor, drowning in a lake, burning in a fire… or." Said Autumn. "Giving birth to a boy named Perry who claims that he is my brother… but my cousin Tenel Ka has had him put in insane asylums several times."

"So he is not your brother." Said Leila questioningly.

"He is no more my brother …than Tarc is really Anakin Solo." Said Autumn and Leila said a soft oh.

"Anyway all the other kids made fun of our accents, clothes, names, etc. It is a fact that we were pretty unhappy there..." said Autumn somberly until her mood changed. "Until we met a group of kids that had been made fun of as well and became friends with them… among them were Raichel and Raidar Olin."

"Why is it that everyone has a sibling except me… even Mabel has her older brother Maxwell." Said Leila with some anger.

"I don't know." Had been all Autumn had said and later when she had told Raichel about this, she had been glad that she had not been there. For if she had Raichel would have told her the truth, for she did not like to keep secrets, especially not one like this…

Sith base: 27 A.B.Y

"They say the Jedi are like fire and the Sith are like water." Said the black haired eight year old.

"But if were water does that mean we'll wash away?" asked her seven year old friend her brown eyes clouded with worry.

"Oh Force, Kiora, do you have to always take something literally it was an idiom." Said Taini angrily, yelling at her friend.

But Kiora couldn't handle it she sat down, hugged her knees to her chest and started rocking… and crying too. "Your such a baby!" explained Taini that was when her father entered.

"How many times have I told you not to yell at Kiora?" the man asked angrily.

"A lot Master Durron." Said Taini. "I'm sorry."

"Good Trainee Fetcher, leave us." Said Kyp Durron and she did.

"Kiora…calm down sweetie." Said Kyp sitting down next to his daughter and the girl looked at him.

"Taini said that we were like water." Said the girl as her tears started to stop.

"I know honey it's okay." Said Kyp wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Are the Jedi really coming today?" asked Kiora softly.

"Yes, they are." said Kyp soberly.

"I don't like meeting new people." Replied Kiora somewhat near tears.

"Remember what I told you, Kiora." Said Kyp. "That meeting new people is the only way to meet new friends."

"But what if they're not nice?" asked Kiora.

"I know some of them are nice besides you've met some of the … Knights Olin and Kar." Said Kyp.

"I guess those two are nice." Said Kiora slightly happy that those two were coming.

"There are others that you might like too; Knight Solo for example she has a daughter who's your age." Said Kyp and Kiora smiled at this. But her smile could not outreach that of her father's, for his also had a slight evilness to it one that showed that he had a plan, a plan that would a have shocking truth told...
