DEMON TRANCE
CHAPTER ONE: ENTER LEX
"HALT!!!"
The young gansta made no attempt to stop, he just bolted forward away from the scene. He had not gone two blocks when he crashed into a jedi.
As he jumped back to his feet, the young gansta sputtered, "Watch where you goin' jedi freak!"
"That's no way to speak to an adult now is it?" the jedi replied strictly.
"I'll speak to ya anyway I wanna!" the gansta replied, "Now move it!"
The jedi still blocked the boys path. "My name is Terran D'Langelo. What's your name?"
The boy cursed as he heard the men who were after him and he hissed, "Lex. Move now or I can't be tried for my actions."
"Oh really?" Terran snapped, "Do show what you can do, Lex."
"Damnit!" the gansta boy cursed again as Terran lept at him. Then the boy did something unusual. He raised a hand in the flash of an eye and Terran flew backwards, landing hard on his butt.
Before Terran could stand again, the gansta boy was out of sight.
~*~*~*~*~
"Strong this child must be," Yoda said to Terran, "For throw you he can."
"Yes, Yoda," Terran replied, "I fear this boy is bad news."
"Fear is the ultimate trail to the Dark Side," Obi-Wan Kenobi muttered to Terran.
Terran glared at Obi, then looked back to Yoda, "Yoda, what I don't understand is that the boy knew I was a Jedi. I was unarmed and I looked like a normal person."
"Strange the situation is, solve it quickly we must."
"I couldn't agree more."
~*~*~*~*~
"Obi-Wan?" Qui-Gon said, "Could you go meet Terran at the well without me? I wish to stay and clean up before he arrives."
"Yes Master," Obi-Wan smiled, obdiently. ^groan, i dont wanna be stuck with that jerk, but master said...^
~*~*~*~*~
Obi-Wan walked swiftly toward the well. He felt an unusually stong presence in the force since he had left Qui-Gon's room at the temple. He had the feeling something interesting was going to happen. Then something did happen. Obi-Wan heard a noise. A voice actually, from beyond the trees over by the well he was to meet Terran at. Obi quickly and silently stepped close and hid behind a thick maple.
"Tsk, not you again, boy!" Obi heard Terran mutter, "Go home to your momma."
"Stupid jedi," muttered the young voice of the boy.
"How did you do that thing the other night?" Terran asked.
^Oh,^ Obi thought ^This must be the infamous Lex^
"I ain't tellin' you!" Lex snapped, "you'd just abuse it, like all the other jedi freaks."
"Other Jedi?" Terran asked, "Who else knows how to do it?"
"Quit askin' so many questions!" Lex murmured, "Get out of my way! I gotta bring this to my sister."
"Oh, so you do have family?" Terran mused, "Not the homeless street rat I thought you were, hmm?"
Terran snatched the small paper bag away from Lex.
"Give that back!" Lex yelled in outrage.
"Let's see what's in here..." Terran opened the bag.
"I'm warnin' you, Jedi!"
"A loaf of bread?" Terran closed the bag, holding it tightly, "Now who did you snatch this off of?"
Lex looked pissed. "THAT'S IT!" Lex raised his hand. A beam, sort of a bolt of blue color, shot out of his palm and sent Terran flying backwards.
Obi was amazed. He ran out from behind the tree and over to Terran.
"You stupid idiot!" Obi snapped, "Why the hell did you take the kid's food? Incoherant, little worm..." Obi-Wan snatched the bag away Terran's dazed clutches and walked over to the surprised Lex. Obi kneeled before the boy.
"Here you are," Obi said, a smile creeping onto his face. Lex snatched the bag away from Obi-Wan and held it to his chest as if it were gold. "Do you have a place to stay?"
"Yeah," Lex muttered, "I live with my sister in an alley in town."
"How old?"
"How old are you?"
"I'm 24."
"I'm 14, and my sister is 22. Her name is Deane."
"You and your sister are welcome to come stay with me if you'd like?"
"Where do you live?"
"I live in the Jedi Temples."
"Uhm... Alright."
"Come tonight, alright?"
"Alright. Uh.. bye!" Lex waved his hand as he ran away.
"You've made friends with the enemy," Terran muttered.
"No I haven't," Obi-Wan mused, "I'm not your friend."
"That's not funny."
"Not tryin' to be. Terran, he's just a kid."
"You saw what he can do! That boy is dangerous, he should be put under solitary confinement."
"No!" Obi protested, "Never! You touch him Terran and I'll... I'll..."
"You'll what?"
"I'll kill you."
Terran was shocked because Obi's words were said in a dark, chilling tone. Obi meant it.
~*~*~*~*~
"You WHAT!?" Qui-Gon yelled in disbelief.
"I invited Lex and his siblings to come live at the Temple," Obi replied softly.
"Live at the temple... Obi-Wan are you insane?!"
"No Master, I'm not insane," Obi replied harshly, "I just learned that Lex and his family are poor and have no food. I wanted to help."
"Oh Obi..."
"Master, it was only good intentions."
"Good intentions are going to get you killed someday," Qui-Gon muttered in acceptance.
Obi almost hugged him.
"Well go on then," Qui-Gon muttered, "Prepare room for them."
"Yes Master, thankyou."
~*~*~*~*~
Obi-Wan was just finishing preparing the last bed in the guest room where Deane would be staying, when Terran entered.
"Hey Kenobi," Terran mused, "If you survive the night with those brats, I commend you... although you probably won't."
"They won't hurt me," Obi replied dryly, "Although I'd watch myself if I were you."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Lex has attacked you twice before. This time you'll be asleep."
Terran's eyes got wide. "Oh and Terran?" Obi smirked, "If you survive the night, I commend you."
"I ought to kill the lot of them the second they enter the temple," Terran spat.
"If you touch them..."
"What? you'll kill me?"
"Yesss," Obi hissed.
"Bring it on."
"Huh?"
"So kill me, big man! Bring. It."
"No."
"Then I will."
Terran punched Obi-Wan in the face. Blood spurted from his mouth.
"You SON OF A BITCH!" Obi cried.
He did a football-type tackle and drove Terran into the wall. Terran hit the wall with a sharp smack. Raging with fury, Terran brought his knee up swiftly and made contact with Obi's face, sending Obi-Wan flying backwards. Blood flew freely from his nose and mouth and he fell, landing on his back. Terran walked over with a smug look on his face and kicked Obi two or three times sharply in the ribs. Obi cringed. He knelt at Obi's side and leaned over him.
"And this why I'll always be better than you," Terran smiled then he stood, blew Obi a kiss from his smirk and left, closing the door behind him.
