Anyway I hope you enjoy it, and I will try to keep writing it as well as write more of TSMODR. Anyway disclaimer, I don't own the starwars franchise or the Universe this story is set in, feel free to check it out its lots of fun :)
Raven sat down by the large wall of her home, she had nearly been caught sneaking out of her family's estate by one of the guards, her mother had banned her from leaving the grounds for a month, as she had been caught going out without an escort.
She looked out at the streets of the capital city, that surrounded her family home, her emerald green eyes scanned over the surrounding area in case she had been seen, she jumped up and bolted into the city she needed time alone, she needed to get her chance to have fun, rather than be constantly watched and groomed to be a perfect heir and someday wife.
That wasn't what she wanted to be some arranged trophy wife to gain more wealth for her family, she wasn't going to ever marry anyone not until she was sure it was love sure that she wanted them forever and they wanted her.
The young girl headed to the park hoping to meet some girls her age and make friends, she never did but she always hoped she would meet someone to call her friend, entering the large park that was easily four square miles if not larger, she walked towards a walkway made of trees loving how the light seemed to cascade between the leaves making patterns all over the floor. Walking slowly through the familiar walkway she saw a young girl probably her own age if not only a couple of years older, speaking to a second person a Twi'lek probably in her early forties, both the humanoids were wearing tan robes, with brown cloaks around them and brown leather boots.
Raven slowly walked forwards before the cloaked human girl's head snapped around to look at the black haired female approaching, she whispered something that was too quiet for Raven to hear but it caused the older alien to look over at her, eyes scanning over her for a moment, before smiling slightly.
The twelve year old human looked down at herself wondering if she looked funny, she shrugged she probably did in what was not even remotely her choice of clothes, or colours for that mattered but hey it was her parents opinions that mattered not hers, she thought scoffing in her mind before focusing her attention back on the person in front of her. "Hello little one" the Twi'lek said smiling to the young girl, Raven considered glaring back but fought the urge.
"I'm not that little" she said annoyed a lot of people saying she was small for her age but she was convinced that she would get really tall one day. The woman smiled back "of course you aren't" she replied softly walking closer. Intrigued by the girl in front of her feeling the force radiating off of her she tried to sense who must of trained her.
Raven watched the woman curiously when she felt the familiar feeling of something in her mind almost asking questions probing curious, and she knew what to do, she closed her mind off she reached into her mind and tried to force the person to stop probing. The Jedi in front of her pushed on needing to know if there was a threat to the galaxy if she was trained by a dark Jedi.
Raven cried out pushing her hands out as if trying to push the woman away from her despite their separation, she surprisingly succeeded, she shoved the woman back a few steps as well as the other young human and kicked up some dust. Raven paused wide eyed as the woman stared at her "I..." The preteen whispered in shock before bolting, she turned and sprinted away from the woman and the teen with her.
Both the cloaked strangers chased her the woman calling out for her to stop but Raven just kept running as fast as she could not daring to stop, she continued running straight for her parents home but the realised she couldn't lead the people to her house or she would be in big trouble her mum would ground her for even longer or worse. She quickly began taking turns randomly trying to lose the figures before bolting through building and jumping through the window, she then ran home confident that she was safe, now all she had to do was sneak back in.
Carefully she climbed over the high wall into her family estate and made the carefully timed routine to get back in the base while avoiding cameras and the guards. The quickly headed inside. She walked slowly down the hall ways, at this time of night they would be empty of any servants and that was what she wanted no one to stop her going straight to her sanctuary, her room.
Walking calmly through the corridors of the mansion that she lived in she carefully avoided certain halls, knowing they were the most likely place to run into her parents, or in tonight's case her mum as her father was off world on business or a holiday who knows she was never told anything.
"Venra where have you been young lady?" Her mother's voice sounded from behind her the emerald eyed girl turned to face her mother and bowed knowing she didn't dare take a moment to think, "I was walking the grounds mother, I felt that the extra fresh air would do my studies some good" once again for the second time today she felt the probing of her mind as her mother reached in but she fought back pushing her memories into her subconscious leaving only those of the gardens at night.
Her mother sucked her teeth as her daughter fought back before stopping "I know what is good for your studies, not you, tomorrow no relaxation time until you complete the three chapters that I set you today" the slightly taller woman snapped looking down at her still bowing daughter. "Now to your room you must rest tomorrow will be an important day for your... Future" the woman said smiling before turning to walk away, Raven dared not to move until her mother was gone for over two minutes still bowed she would never make the mistake to rise before her mother was gone again.
She hated when her mother said about 'important days for your future' it meant some other family was bringing a son over to court her to gain money, she was yet to meet one she even remotely liked.
Once she was positive her mother was gone she quickly bolted to her room and headed inside. The room was nothing like a normal teenager's room; it was plain, white walls, one window overlooking the estate but had automatic blinds that only opened on relaxation time only, her parents believing otherwise it would be distracting; she had a single bed with grey quilt cover and black pillows. The walls were completely bare except for a large bookshelf with dozens of data books all on school work that she needed to memorise already knowing all the work she had previously been given. She looked at her tablet on the table and sighed normally it would be something so advance that she would be able to game, surf the galactic net, do whatever she wanted but it had so many limiters on it, I might as well just be another datapad for writing and reading.
"Well best get on with some work" the young girl whispered walking over to her tablet booting up some of the language software, she loved languages it was the only lesson liked and adored every second surpassing her mother's expectations finally, at least in one subject.
She stayed up for several more hours practicing various languages, finally stripping and getting on pyjamas at around about half three, getting into bed and slowly drifting off to sleep her mind going back to the mysterious woman earlier.
Raven groaned softly as she woke from her sleep a shrill voice calling her "Venra downstairs at once, there is someone to see you" she looked around briefly hoping to be able to read a clock with her dazed eyes vision blurred from the short nap. She finally caught sight of the digital clock and considered ignoring her mother before her brain kicked in, she would rather not argue with her mother, despite only having four hours sleep.
She very quickly dressed making herself presentable as quickly as possible while her mother had said at once what she had meant when she said there is someone to see you, is 'get here quick but do not bring shame to us by being scruffy or you will regret it' it was usually suitors for herself or family guests that this order was meant for. While she didn't mind looking nice she hated having to rush it but be careful. In what she would call a galactic record for how she looked she quickly headed downstairs jogging most the way to account for the few extra seconds she took on her hair, she stopped outside the door and caught her breath quietly so as not to draw attention that she had run here.
When she was sure she was ready she quickly smoothed out her clothes and headed into the reception room, to see her mother seated hands folded in her lap across from her was the two other females from last night again dressed in their tan and brown colours. She once again got a smile from the Twi'lek which she returned but inside her mind was racing. She feared she was caught and they would tell her mother, for that she would be given extra lessons, specifically ones she hated and additional homework and no doubt an impossible deadline.
"This is my daughter Venra, Venra this is Jedi Knight Liu Taa and her Padawan Sonti Kalt" her mother introduced them both the Jedi bowing which Raven returned hesitating to stand straight but decided to do so after a moment of brief hesitation.
"We would like for you to join us and be trained as a Jedi" the Jedi knight said smiling at the preteen who stepped back not sure what to say surely her mother would be furious, her mother smiled "this is a great offer, but she is too old I thought you only took on younglings? Besides she has friends here" her mother lied to the alien.
Raven knew her mother was lying but decided not to speak out believing that her mother would not allow her to go. The Jedi nodded "well this is true but there are" she paused looking at the young girl standing in the doorway before looking back at the other adult female "exceptions, and after all becoming a Jedi is an amazing privilege, she will make new friends, and without proper guidance and training she could… fall" the woman explained.
"well obviously I want what is best for my daughter" the aged human said "and if that is what you believe is… best then I shall have to accept your point and allow for my daughter to go with you" she smiled but behind it she was furious she had just lost an heir and now had to explain to several men why their sons would not have a potential future wife.
"Thank you Mrs Sora it was a pleasure meeting you, and thank you we will wait outside and give you some time to say goodbye to each other" The Knight said showing herself out of the room the door closing behind her. Raven quickly bowed to her mother who approached slowly staring at her daughter "so you finally leave, but not how I needed, you must become a powerful Jedi make a name for yourself don't shame our family, let it be known that you are my daughter, bring more money in, keep us wealthy as your father and I have done, do not be a failure." Her mother said looking at her before kissing her cheek leaving the faint trace of lipstick for show before letting some fake tears escape her eyes which she wiped aside before opening the door giving a fake sniffle to make the Jedi believe she was a better mother than she actually was. Raven quickly walked outside and smiled to the Jedi who began to walk out of the building, Raven followed closely behind the other females knowing that she would not need to bring anything with her, not that she had anything of her own in the house.
She didn't want to find her younger sister and say goodbye she could never leave if she tried to say goodbye, if she did how could she live with herself after seeing her sister knowing her sister would now get the same treatment she had always gotten for all those years. Then again she wasn't very close with her sister, her mother's schedule for her didn't really give either of them any time to bond, but they were fairly close despite this.
She walked very slowly out of her family estate towards the nearby space port the two other humanoids with her not saying anything as they all walked along, away from all the youngest of them knew, all she had grown up with. Raven sighed to herself as they entered the spaceport going to a small freighter that would take her from the system and out into the galaxy at large.
