I was walking down the halls of the temple with my master. The jedi council had called a meeting that morning after master kenobi had returned from his mission.
The council normally calls a meeting if someone has found a force-sensitive child out in the field. Most childern that are found are an alien which didnt really matter to me. I thought that I added more variety to the order. After all, every species has their own special ablity.
As we walked in to the council room we heard hushed voices and wispers coming from the council members. Something had put a scare into them. Master Kenobi was standing in the center of the room telling the council about his mission. He turned around towards us and gave a gentle smile as we came up and stood beside him.
"Thank you for coming on such short notice,' Master Windu said with a nod of his head,"I understand that you have found something on your mission,Master Kenobi."
"Yes, Masters," he said bowing,"While I was out on my mission, my troops and I found a base camp from one of the comanders of the army. Inside one of the tents was a child. She looked to be about 12 to 13 years old and was unconscious."
"Did you sence anything about this girl?" Master Ti asked.
"She appeared to be force-sensitive, Masters." he said.
"And where is she at now?" Master Windu asked.
"She was moved the medical wing after we landed," he said,"she looked like she had some very serious injurys."
Master Windu nodded and looked towards me.
"Could you go and check on her Ashoka? We have some more things that we need to discuss."
"Yes,Master," I said as I bowed my head and walked out of the council room and down to the medical wing at the far end of the temple. My mind began to wonder about this girl. Why would she be at an empty base camp? Maybe she was taken from her parents. It would be good to have another girl that I could talk to.
After Barris was ordered to leave the order I had no one to talk or hang out with.
When I arrived at the door, I was met by one of the healers.
"Ashoka Tano?" he asked.
"That's me.' I said. Master Windu must have told them that I was coming.
"This way." he said walking down the hall.
The girl was in one of the empty rooms at the end of the hallway. The people who were standing near her room looked at me as if I was crazy when I walked into her room.
"What are her injures?" I asked looking down at the sleeping girl in front of me.
"A few cuts and bruises on her body. A large gash on her stomach, leg and the back of her head. She has a fracture in her right hip that has almost healed. She also has a mild concussion." he said walking over to her x-rays,"It's nothing to bad. It might take 3 to 6 weeks for her to recover."
"Have you identified who she is yet?" I asked.
"Not yet. I have been cleaning out her wounds and dressing them so they don't get infected. Would you like me to take a blood sample for midi-chlorian count?"
"If you don't mind and run her blood through the data base to see if we can find out who she is."
"You could always just ask me. No need to draw blood from me." I heard a voice say from behind me. It made both the healer and me jump.
I turned around to see the young girl sitting up. I could see the cuts on her arms and bruises on her neck. It was clear that she had been tortured.
"Alright then," I said coolly not letting any surprise show,"what is your name?"
"My name is Alexandria, and I would like to know what I am doing here." she said coldly. She had every right to be defensive after what has happened to her at the camp.
"Do you not remember?" I asked walking closer to her.
"All I remember was that I was lying in my bed and then I heard someone yell that the camp was under attack. Next thing that I know was that I was captured by the droids and was taken back to their camp were they tortured me for two and a half months before I blacked out." she said dropping her gaze to the floor before looking back at me with a cold hard stare,"Now I will ask again. What am I doing here and where am I?"
"You are at the Jedi temple on Coroscant. You were rescued from the camp but you were unconscious when we found you so we brought you here." I said. I saw a flash of surprise and fear go across her face, but it was as if a mask had slid over her face and hid her surprise very well.
"Well thank you but I should be going." she said as she made to get up. I watched her face scrunch up in pain and a small gasp of pain escape from her mouth.
"I am afraid that you won't be going anywhere anytime soon." I said still watching her as she still tried to get up,"It is best if you just rest for now. You have some major injures that will take about 3 to 6 weeks to heal and even then you will need help moving around."
"She might be here for a lot longer," I heard the healer say from the doorway. I looked towards the healer as he nodded his head towards me and we walked out into the hall in front of her room.
"What did you find?" I asked but I already never the answer.
"Master Kenobi was right. Her count is over ten thousand." he said looking back down at her papers in his hand.
I began to notice a lot of people taking interest in what we were saying and were looking very fearful.
"Do you know why everyone is so scared of her?" I asked.

"When Master Kenobi brought her in she was screaming and was crying. The site of the blood and her scars must have scared them." he said.
"I think that it might have scared her as well. She looked very scared when I told her that she was in the temple." I said with a sigh,"I will tell the council about her when they call me back."
"That sounds good to me. Would you mind watching her for a while. I think that Master Kenobi and Skywalker said that they would be here soon."he said.
"Sure I won't mind. It will give me time to learn more about her."

"Thanks." he said as he ran off down the hall towards another Jedi.
I walked back into the room to see her fast asleep. As I sat down, I noticed all the cuts and scars that covered her arms. I knew that there was more to her story than what she was telling us but for now, I would let her sleep.
