Sunlight streamed through the window and crawled over the man's face making him groan and roll over. The cronod beside his bed said 6:00 standard.
He got up slowly aqnd got dressed before leaving and locking the door behind him. He then strode down the hall and stairs. "Hey." He said turning to the woman who had given him a room last night.
"Yes?" She asked. Pausing in her cleaning. "Is there someone I could talk to around here? You know someone who knows alot and could answer my questions?"
"Well," she hesitated. "There is someone, he's busy, being headmaster at school and all, but he seems to know alot of what goes on 'round here."
"Where could I find him?" "Up at the castle." she gesture behind him. He turned and could see it almost immediatly. "Thanks" she nodded not really paying attention to him anymore.
He walked out of the door and painful started making his way up there. Suddenly his torn and battered, mostly severed connection with his former master flared. They had arrived and were close by. This made him quicken his pace.
'Its too soon, I can't handle dealing with them right now!' he thought desperatly. Apparently his master could stil sense him as well, though why he wouldn't be able too would make no sense, because he sensed them draw nearer, clearly they were moving as fast as they could.
After ten painful moment s of limping and clutching his side as he made his way to the castle, he glanced over his shoulder and could see them in the main st of the village. They were so close, when he looked over his shoulder he actually met the gaze of Qui Gon.
The Jedi were closing in on him fast. He moved faster and was now moving as fast as he could, he could tast blood in his mouth, and it felt like something in his chest was tearing.
He gasped for breath. 'Almost there, I have to make it, please let me make it.' He didn't know if he could make it, even if he wasn't running from the jedi. It was just so far from where he had rested the night before.
Another ten minutes later, Xanatos felt his legs give out from beneth him, pain racked his body. He could hear the jedi behind him, they weren't moving as fast now that he was on the ground.
He could sense them reaching for their lightsabers, ready and expecting an attack from him. 'I couldn't fight a puppy right now.' He felt more blood rise into his mouth and his stomache convulsed violently. Resulting in his puking a bunch of blood onto the ground in front of him.
He rested on all fours and panted for breath. The jedi were walking now and were four feet away, they still couldn't see what he was doing as his body was blocking the view.
"Xanatos you are under arrest, surrender, you cannot win." Qui Gon's deep voice commanded. He raised his eyes to Qui Gon for a moment before turning back around and heaving again.
The jedi moved to him, Qui Gon was was behind him and now so close he felt the brush of his robes, Obi Wan moved to the front and let out a gasp of shock when he saw the blood.
Qui Gon looked at his padawan before moving to see what had caused the noise. He saw the blood just as Xanatos heaved a final time and more blood came up out of his stomach onto the ground.
He groaned and rolled before collapsing onto his back. Staring blankly up at the sky. Waves of agony ripped through him causing him to gasp desperatly for breath. Blood pooled in hi smouth but he was too weak to roll over. 'I'm going to drown.' He thought fearfully.
Just then a pair of brown boots came back into his view and he felt a large hand gently and carefully roll him over so he could spit the blood.
He raised his eyes to see, much to his shock, concern in both Qui Gon and Obi Wan's eyes. Qui Gon was the one who had turned him. He let his head fall back with a sigh and let the darkness overtake him, falling into blissful sleep. Before he dropped off he heard their voices say something then strong arms lifting him.
