"Ah!" I let out a loud yelp as a spark shot at my finger and I moved away from the machine for a moment. I notice the doors slid open and I turned around to see the Jedi had returned.
"I heard you scream, I thought I'd come to make sure you hadn't blown yourself up." He says. I take my goggles off and let them drape around my neck as I wipe the sweat off my head.
"No, just shocked myself." I reply and stand up from my position on the floor. "Most of the parts have accepted to the main frame of the hyperdrive, but like I said before, I could only give you so much. So, let's hope your Jedi friend has a plan." I tell him and grab my bag to throw my tools into the bag when something falls out.
"How do you have a lightsaber?" I notice how he suddenly reaches for his belt.
"Whoa! Calm down!" I say as I raise my hands and back away from it in defence. "I found it on the outskirts and took it to repair it just in case the Jedi who owned it would return for it." I tell him and he looks at me with questioning eyes.
"You were going to use it as a way off this planet, weren't you?" He asks and goes back to a casual stance while I pick up the lightsaber and my bag.
"Originally, I was waiting as I said but then I was going to sell it Watto to buy Anakin and Shmi Skywalker and then free them… but Watto wasn't having it." I reply as I look down at the weapon that is feared by most in the Universe. "Even with holding the most powerful weapon in my hand, I can't help free the people who have become like my family." I sigh and then hold out the lightsaber to give to the Jedi. He looks at it for a moment before shaking his head.
"Keep hold of it until we get to Coruscant, you can hand it over to the Jedi council in person." He tells me and a smile washes over his face.
"I never got your name." I say as I put the lightsaber back in my bag.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi." He introduces himself while holding out his hand.
"Camari." I reply and shake his hand and then we fell into a silence before one of the soldiers walked in.
"Qui-Gon is on the transmitter. He requests you both." He informs us and then I'm led by Obi-Wan to the cockpit of the ship.
We were then informed of the plan to use Anakin's new podracer to race for the parts from Watto. I had faith in Anakin but it seems that Obi-Wan doesn't.
"What if this plan fails, Master? We could be stuck here for a long time." He says and I hear the uncertainty from his voice.
"Anakin can win the race, I know he can. He learned from the best." I boost about helping Anakin become a brilliant podracer and gain a glare from Obi-Wan. I raise my hands in defence again.
"A ship without a power supply will not get us anywhere, and there is something about this boy..." Qui-Gon sighs before continuing. "Camari, I'd like you to stay on the ship with Obi-Wan. I can promise that I'll get Anakin and Shmi off this planet, you have my word." At that I feel myself smile.
Qui-Gon then left and I took a seat in the cockpit as I watched Obi-Wan sit opposite to me.
"This isn't a good plan, I don't know what he is thinking." He sighs and I roll my eyes at him.
"Listen, Anakin is one of the only two humans who can race a podracer. The other… well you're looking at her. I know he can win this race." I assure him, but he still had an uncertain look in his eyes.
"You both must have Jedi reflexes then." He says and now it was my turn to become uncertain.
"I'm a junkyard owner and inventor, I'm not too sure about being a Jedi." I chuckle to myself and Obi-Wan joins in.
"Would you allow to take a blood sample from you?" He asks and I raise an eyebrow at him.
"Why?" I prolong the word as I cross my arms.
"Just to test for somethings, make sure you're ready for hyperdrive when we have the final parts." He says and I pout my lips as I think before holding out my hand.
"Be gentle, I'm not too happy about needles." I tell him and then he takes a little device from the computers behind and then I feel a prick in my finger. I suck on my finger for a moment before I look out of the cockpit windows.
"Is there anywhere to rest? I want to sleep before I have to help with everything tomorrow." I ask and then Obi-Wan tells me to just make myself comfortable in the seating area of the ship, as there were no resting places left.
"Obi-Wan, I need an analysis of this blood sample." Qui-Gon speaks into his commlink.
"Wait a minute." Obi-Wan replies as he was still looking at the results from Camari's blood sample.
"I need a midichlorian count." Qui-Gon requests and then Obi-Wan was shocked by the results.
"Over twenty thousand. Even Master Yoda doesn't have a count that high." He says and Qui-Gon thinks for a moment.
"No Jedi has."
"What does it mean?"
"I'm not sure."
There was silence between the Master and Padawan before Obi-wan speaks once again.
"Master, I ran a count on Camari's blood as well. She has about the same amount Master Windu. Should we speak to the Council about these results?" He asks and Qui-Gon was surprised himself.
"We'll see what happens when we return." He replies and then returns his commlink to his belt. Obi-Wan on the other hand, stood up and went to check if the new comer hadn't wandered off and got herself into trouble.
All I knew was that I had been awoken from a nightmare I was having. Only I had reached for the lightsaber in my bag. Obi-Wan had grabbed my arms to prevent me from doing anything that my nightmare was making me do. I look up at him as he stands with bewildered eyes and his hands holding my wrists together.
"You can let go now." I tell him, but my voice was hoarse and once he heard me he released me and I sat up as he took a seat next to me.
"What happened?" He asks me and I shake my head, refusing to answer. "Something must be wrong. Tell me what happened." His voice was much gentler and I started to feel the tears well up in my eyes.
"It was just a stupid nightmare. Don't worry about it." I reply and stand up and walk down to the hyper drive to see if I can do anything else to keep my mind at bay from the terrifying images of my nightmare at bay.
"I'm not going to tell you so you may as well give up now." I mutter as I hear the door slide open again and just have the feeling that Obi-Wan had followed me.
"I'm not going to force you to tell me. I'm just ensuring you know I'm here to listen." He tells me and I pause in my movements. Maybe just having someone to listen to my troubled mind would allow me to see some sense within it all.
"My nightmares are vivid. Almost as though they were happening in that moment. But, my dreams as of late have been… foreseeing things that would come true in later life." I take a moment to consider on continuing with my madness. "I dreamt about Shmi and Anakin. They are like my family. I watched as Shmi was…" I wiped at the sudden tears that had appeared in my eyes. "Before you woke me, I saw Anakin and… something terrible was happening. I saw a man, stood over me. I don't understand what was happening but I knew that something was missing from me." I finish speaking and turn to Obi-Wan as I realise how much I had begun to cry.
I drop my tools and drop to the floor and cradle my knees to my chest as the images of my past nightmares come to light behind my eyes. The anger ran through me and the fear, I hated everything to do with my nightmares and the eventualities that they come true. I couldn't keep this up, I needed to protect my family that accepted my help and gave me the love that I never received when my own left me here.
I gasp in shock as I feel a warm suddenly envelope me. I look up to see the kind eyes of Obi-Wan as his eyes were filled worry and concern.
"It's alright. We can help you control them. You won't go through this alone."
