Okay, so I have decided, on a whim, that I will (attempt) these 100-theme challenge things that must be out of style by now. I dunno. I've had it sitting on my computer for months now, and I decided to stop being lazy. So, here it is.
Kiki looked in disdain at the blonde boy who stood before her. She knew who he was before he'd introduced himself—he was all any of the Masters could think about, and honestly, it was getting distracting.
The Chosen One…
The Chosen One…
The Chosen One.
By the third day, Kiki was sick of it. It seemed to be all the Masters could think about, and they were starting to pay special attention to this "Chosen One", anyone could see that. The only thing that hadn't happened yet was a formal introduction.
"Kiki, aren't you going to introduce yourself?" Master Kenobi said, motioning to the short boy standing by his side. The boy only looked mildly interested on the outside, although in the inside, he seemed…scared.
Kiki would have analyzed this further had she not remembered that there was someone standing in front of her. "I'm Kiki," she said concisely, hoping her missing teeth weren't too exposed.
The blonde boy gave the barest of smiles, seemingly amused by her answer.
Glad to know I pleased someone in this place, Kiki thought wryly. She would have turned around to leave had Master Kenobi not given her a stern look.
Oh, yeah. She was supposed to bow.
Kiki exaggeratedly bent at the waist, pointing one foot forward and sweeping her arms out at her sides in the blonde's direction. She sighed. "I'm Kirinak Layeri Jorani at your service, oh Chosen One," she said, putting in thinly veiled sarcasm.
Surprise jumped from both the boy and Master Kenobi, although Kiki wasn't sure why.
We'd never even told the younglings yet—she must have been sneaking around again, Master Kenobi thought. We'll have to speak to her about this.
Oddly, Kiki's face fell, but she covered it up before the new kid could notice anything.
"I'm Anakin Skywalker," the blondie said before Kenobi could get anything in. His smile was a little wider, putting small dimples in his tan cheeks.
Kiki would have opened up more to this Anakin Skywalker had Obi-wan not interrupted the moment. "Kiki, I'll need to see you later. Come now, Anakin, we have some Force training to do." He gave a curt nod to Kiki and turned, Anakin Skywalker in tow.
At the last second, however, he turned and waved, mouthing "bye" to Kiki.
Okay, shortest chapter I have ever written, and you all know by now that I'm not comfortable with anything under 1,300 words. Heck, I don't even like it if it's 1,500. More information about my OCs is going to be released in this fic than I probably would have liked, but oh well. So, tell me what you think—should I continue on?
