Well, here's my first story. I have but one request. If you read this, please, don't merely review. Pick the darn thing apart! Tell me how to improve little bits here and there. That way, I can improve my writing, and you can read a story of much higher quality. Anyways, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars. It belongs to George Lucas. Of course, you knew that.
"We can't take him with us," his mother said. "He's too young to defend himself, and we never have any time to train him. He'll only slow us down." She looked more than prepared to board the transport and leave them all behind. Her two lightsabers were still in their small cases on her back, but she seemed on the edge of drawing them to confront the sound approaching footsteps.
"He's young, yes," his father said calmly, "but if we could find someone to train him when we didn't have time, he could quickly become one of the most powerful Dark Jedi our order has ever seen." The boy was terrified at that peaceful look on his father's face. It was a look he got when he was about to slaughter anyone who got in his way, coldly, emotionlessly. The boy had seen what that oddly shaped hilt at his father's waist could do, and it was by far worse than anything his mother could do with both of her lightsabers.
The sound of the footsteps grew louder, and the boy's older brother spoke up. "We have no time. I say we abandon him. Even if he is taken to Yavin 4 for training, they'll never teach him his full potential. He won't be a threat to us."
There was no time for further discussion, as a group of Couruscant police officers came into view down the dark, wide alley of the lowest level of Coruscant, blasters at the ready.
The three Dark Jedi drew their lightsabers and quickly deflected any blaster bolts coming their way. The boy was frozen in terror as he saw his father whip the blaster-shaped hilt off his belt and the red energy blade slid out. Merely flicking his wrist could deflect any laser coming towards him.
The boy took the opportunity of his family's distraction to take cover inside one of the abandoned doorways. He peeked out, to see streaks of Force Lightning shoot across the alley, striking the guards down. The Dark Jedi quickly backed up the ramp of the transport, a small, agile ship that would take them to the Silencer, though he didn't know what that was. The shuttle rose up and sealed shut, as the transport lifted off from the dark alley, and shot upward into the night sky.
The boy continued to watch where the transport had vanished, until a voice said, "Hey! Over here! This kid saw the whole thing!"
