Chapter one: My parents put the dead, in deadbeat
I couldn't quite figure out my master's confusion. It didn't make any sense anyways, all I had told him was that I'd had a dream. Whatever, get over it doesn't matter, doesn't count. So I was still confused. What the heck? I didn't say that I accidentally killed anyone! The interesting part was that he was trying to hide his emotions, but was failing miserably. This was concerning, I had believed Jedi to have no emotion at all. Then again they were still alive, and anything that's alive has emotions. Unless it's a jellyfish, in which case, no. I decided to ask him something.
" So, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." He replied his voice a little shaky.
" I think you're lying."
" What do you mean?"
J" You're not very good at hiding your facial expressions."
pjo
" I see. However we should get going now. "
" Yeah," We shouldn't keep my deadbeat parents waiting, I thought." I guess you're right."
... Skip to Aviddr ...
I rushed down the ramp. I wanted to get this over with as fast as possible. Though the clouds I could see the all green surface of Unniddr. People had tried to settle on the planet but they had all vanished. Even landing there was considered to be a death sentence. Nobody ever left Unniddr alive or otherwise, it was strange. There was also a high amount of Fenaroths there. Fenaroths were strange vicious beasts, however they were quite beautiful. We only know there are any there because of the fact that one attacked a satellite the was in low orbit. Did I mention they can go that far into space without dying? They're pretty cool actually, but never mind.
I walked past my old hiding spot, wishing I could go grab the rest of my stolen supplies. Especially the secret, I hoped no one else had found it first. The secret was extremely important, there was a sense of urgency I had found from being so close to it.
So close but so far.
I had a backup plan in case my parents decided to, deny any wrongdoing. It was stupid as all hell but I could risk it. I had nothing to lose, no person in their right mind would trust me anyway. No person in their right mind would keep me alive and if I had attacked them either. Maybe I'm on to something, nah but-. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Obi Wan saying.
" We've arrived."
I pushed open the doors, looking around I saw nothing unusual. Until I got to the kitchen, both my parents were laying on the floor in a pool of blood. A strange symbol was floating over them. A single handprint, with the fingers streaking down the middle. I knew the symbol well, I was being chased by the Watcher.
" It seems they have been dead for quite a while." Obi Wan assessed
" That's kinda obvious ya know." I replied, annoyed by how blunt he was being.
" Yes, but who killed them?"
" The Watcher of Unniddr."
" Who?"
" You've never heard of the Watcher?"
" No I haven't, is he a problem?"
" More like she's a legend. Anyone she targets is found dead within a week. Some say she even wields a cross between an energy bow and a double bladed lightsaber."
" Sounds interesting. I will have to do more research on this topic."
" Allright then there's something I need to do too."
I then decAfter checking that nobody was following me I sprinted off. After only a few minutes of running I found secret's hiding spot. I pulled the modified energy bow from under the half destroyed stairs, and brushed dust off it's surface. It was larger than the ones used by nightsisters, but for a reason I activated the curved blue blades. Secret was a gift from Watcher herself, she had offered me an apprenticeship under her. I had told her that I needed two years to consider, and the deadline was looming.
I had been 11 when she found me. I had been hiding in a barrel, and once I climbed out she had been staring at me. It turns out that she had been watching me all day and was impressed. She offered me an apprenticeship, a home, and a good friend. I was scared, and decided to ask her for two years to consider. Now, the deadline was looming, but it had been so long that I'd forgotten about it.
I then deactivated Secret and placed her in my pack. Only in an emergency, that a normal lightsaber cannot solve. I told myself.
Yay! Chapter one finished. All my hard work has paid off. Please R&R if you enjoyed.- ADSF
