So sorry guys for not updating for a LONG time. I've been so busy with school and work but promise to update more. I would love to hear your suggestions.

"oh girls, just to let you know. You will be demonstrating your talents in front of everyone at the Jedi temple." Dad just decided to tell us

Chapter Two: All work, which is play

"What?!" we all screamed at the same time. The droid driving the shuttle got startled by our sudden outburst. Dad didn't seem fazed and out the corner of my eye, I saw a small smile on my brother's face.

"You knew this all along didn't you brother?!" Katherine half yelled, half snarled. Sarah stopped staring at our father and looked towards our brother in the front seat.

"Yes. Of course. But it wouldn't have been any fun in telling you" his sly smile grew. I just sat there in the back of the shuttle already knowing this.

"But Father, why didn't you tell us? This is something very important and if you gave us time we could have come up with something." Katherine popped in her opinion. Sarah clung to me and piped up

"Daddy, I don't want to dom-demi…."

"Demonstrate?" everyone said at the same time. Sarah nodded.

"I don't want to do that."

Dad turned around in his seat and looked at each of us

"Well, I'm sorry girls but you don't have a choice. Katherine, they need to see how far you have come in your training since you stopped having Master Unduli teaching you and Nikta, you need to show the council what you have learned from Master Ginn. Also, this is when they will pair Sarah up with a group of younglings her age to start her training."

Katherine looked at me, and I looked at Sarah. We knew this was true. The Jedi were giving us extra skills in exchange for knowledge on our ''magic'' progress. But it still sucks! We are performing monkeys. We are above this. I thought to myself.

"When are we going to showcase our talents?" Katherine asked

"You mean, when does the circus start?" I whispered under my breath. Kate gave me a stern look.

"An hour after we arrive." Dad replied smoothly. I don't know about anyone else, but my jaw dropped. That is NOT what the Spirits showed me. Damn it! I didn't cross check the vision. Damn! Damn! Damn!

"Oh boy" I heard myself say.

At the Jedi Temple

(Still NPOV)

We finally arrived at the Jedi Temple and to be honest, my nerves were kind of fried from all the shuttles, speeders and ships buzzing around. It was so different from Margarth, from our farm. There wasn't a lot of people around. Just family farms like ours and a few shops and ships. Once we arrived, yet another droid showed us to our quarters.

"Why don't you go ahead Leslie?" Dad ushered Leslie to go on. Following the droid, Leslie went to his and dad's room. "Now girls" Dad turned back to us "Wash up and get changed into your chosen clothes. And here" Dad pulled out a medium size package from one of his bags "I want you three to wear these too." Kate took the package from him "Your mum would have wanted you to have them. Now hurry up and get changed" He left us then.

The rooms were simple. Three beds, three bedside tables, lamps, a big chest of draws, a small bathroom and a nice view. Sarah quickly ran to the bed in the middle of the room and started unpacking. "I want this one!" she called out and turned to us. Katherine and I raised our eyebrows "Please?" she asked.

"Better. And yes you can." I replied and walked over to the bed closest to the window. I sat down and starting to unpack the few possessions I brought. Sarah, next to me had finished unpacking and put her clothes into the draws and went back to her bed. She placed Mr Juk right in the middle of her pillow. "Come on Sarah, time to get cleaned up." Kate called out to her from the bathroom. After she got herself and Sarah washed and dressed, I had a quick shower and curled my hair loosely, dressing in a pair of soft brown cotton shorts and a red singlet. I thought it might be best to dress in clothes that are similar to fire. Since fire is my favourite element to work with. Walking back out into the bed room I saw Katherine wore jean shorts and a blue t-shirt with her hair in a high pony-tail and Sarah had some grey track pants and a green shirt on and her hair was out, golden brown curls flowing loosely.

"Let's seen what's in that package" I said walking over to the small table in the middle of the room. Kate put the package on the table and opened it. Inside were two different sized parcels with a note. Katherine picked up the note and read it aloud.

To my Darling Daughters,

If you are reading this it means I am no longer with you anymore and for that, I am truly sorry. I'm so sorry you girls, your brother and your father had to watch me in pain almost every day and watch me die slowly with my condition. All I ever wanted for you girls and your brother was a normal safe and happy life. With no extraordinary talents or anything. Just normal children who didn't have the whole galaxy on their young shoulders.

You three girls have a long, tough and dangerous road ahead of you. But I believe with all my heart and soul you will get through all the challenges and come out stronger. Each of you have an equal amount of responsibility on your young shoulders, even though the responsibility is great, and with each other's help and from the help of your family and friends, you three will bring the balance back to the galaxy.

After your father and I realised you three had special talents we made these items for you. The necklaces will protect you, your father made the charms and I made the chain. These necklaces are made of love, never take them off. And the cloaks will protect your identity when you wear them; they were also made with love from us.

Please, my darlings, please be safe. And never forget who you are and where you belong.

I am so proud of you Katherine, Nikita and Sarah. I love you three with all my heart.

Love, Your mother.

Xoxoxoxox

All three of us just sat in silence around the table. Taking in what our mother wrote to us. By the look of the letter, it was old, really old. Like, she knew this was going to happen to us. Katherine set the note aside and handed Sarah and myself a parcel with our names on it. We all looked at each other and nodded our heads. At the same time we opened the parcels. Inside were different coloured cloaks with a necklace on top. My parcel had a red dragon charm with small ruby eyes on a brown weaved chain. My cloak was a mixture of colours, fiery red mixed with yellow and orange. I put my necklace on and looked over to Sarah. Her necklace had the same brown weaved chain but her charm had a green dragon with small topaz eyes. Her cloak was earthy green and brown. I helped Sarah put on her necklace. Looking over to Katherine, her necklace had the same chain and her dragon charm was aqua and the eyes were small sapphires. Kate's cloak was a lovely mixture of sea blue and green. She too had her necklace on.

"Let's hurry and put these cloaks on. Dad and Les are properly waiting for us." Katherine stated.

We all slipped on our cloaks and headed for the door. Dad and Leslie were waiting for us.

"You three look beautiful" Leslie commented. Sarah went and hugged Dad while Katherine and I nodded to our brother sombrely.

"Let's go." Dad said as he starting walking down the long hall. Katherine followed behind him, I took Sarah's hand and we followed Dad with Leslie following behind us.

We walked in silence down the long hallway, the uncertainty between us all you could cut with a knife, until we reached these huge double doors that led to the Great Hall. Dad stopped at the doors and we waited behind him.

"Pull the hoods over your heads girls." Leslie whispered to us from behind. We quickly obeyed. The hoods concealed our faces perfectly but still allowed us to see clearly.

"I know you girls will make me proud." Dad turned to smile at us. "Although, I am already"

We all smiled at him. I could hear Master Windu talking and it made me nervous, so I decided to see if I could find Obi-Wan with our linked minds, to see if he was in there waiting for us. I could feel his presences and the pain in my chest eased. All too quickly, the great big doors opened, revealing a huge room filled with waiting Jedi. Dad led the way. Sarah held onto my hand and onto Kate's as we all walked into the room together with Leslie behind us. We stopped a few metres from the stage which consisted of the Jedi Council plus Master Unduli and Master Qui-Gon. Master Yoda stood at the podium.

"Welcome, welcome everyone" His old rusty voice greeted us kindly. His face had a small smile.

I started listening to Obi-Wans thoughts.

Well that doesn't help me his thoughts revealed.

I chuckled lightly under my breath. Patience Obi-Wan, Patience. I thought kindly.

OH MY GOD! He misses me! I, for some reason, got really happy and the pain eased even more.

"Welcome back to the Jedi Temple, old friends" Master Windu got up and greeted us.

"Thank you for having us" Dad replied "The girls are ready to perform whatever task you set out for them"

Master Windu nodded his head and turned to Master Yoda.

"Katherine, the eldest, will go first. Hmm, yes. Set an example for the younger ones, she will" Master Yoda concluded. Why the hell couldn't he just come out with a normal sentence and not go all Dr Seuss on everyone?

Katherine sucked in a quick small breath before letting it go. She turned to look at Sarah and myself the same time we turned to look at her.

Good luck Katie Sarah thought to her admiringly

You'll do great I thought to her as well

Thank you girls. Kate replied to our silent conversation, I will make you all proud.

Katherine took in a deep breath, let go of Sarah's hand and walked forward towards the stage. Dad lead the rest of us to the crowd of Jedi's standing around the room, waiting for Kate to start.

KPOV

I walked forward, away from my family with my back straight and my head held high. I knew that Master Yoda was right; I need to set an example for my sisters. To give a good first impression to those who did not know us and to make my former 'Master' proud of me.

Master Unduli was a tough and hard teacher. She was a very by-the book person and that was very difficult for me. Since I have a vivid imagination which allows me to express myself and keep me alive. I looked up from under my hood and saw Master Unduli standing tall next to the council, waiting for me to perform. I finally came to a stop one metre from the stage and made my cloak dissolve into water which ran off my body but not wetting me. It reappeared draped over my father's arm, who stood proudly over in the side lines with the rest of the family. Gasps and hushed whispers could be faintly heard from all those who watched me. I placed my hand over my heart and bowed, a sign of respect.

"I am ready for whatever challenge you have set for me, Master's" I boomed confidently

The council on the stage looked at each other before turning to look at Master Yoda. Master Yoda had his chin resting on his hand. "Over confident are you? Hmm" his old voice droned I smiled a small smile

"I am confident in my abilities, Master. I know what I can and cannot do"

Yoda nodded his head. Master Windu called out loudly "Let it begin!"

At that moment several things happened at once, seven Jedi's ranging from adolescent padawan's to Jedi Knights came at me from all different directions. Three even fell down from the rafters on the ceiling! Five droids with blasters ranging from a small hand pistol to fire blasters stood behind the Jedi's shooting at me, missing them of course.

I was a bit over whelmed and I knew the Jedi could sense that too. Before I could make an action plan a Jedi Knight, one who fell down from the rafter's, swang his 'saber at me. I dodged his attack easily, ducking under his raised arm and hitting him hard in the ribs knocking him to the ground and putting him on conscious quickly. I took his lightsaber and blocked the attack of two Padawan's, who tried to out flank me. Noises could be heard from the observing Jedi's. The three of us struggled with each other, the weight of both the padawan's was becoming too much.

Elements Katherine, use them! My inner voiced screamed.

Quickly, a cool feeling spread throughout my body and my body turned to water, like my cloak, falling to the floor and dissolving. I reappeared behind three blasting droids and sliced them quickly in half with the 'saber before using my gifts again to form a huge flat rock slate on the other side of the room where the other two droids were and using the slate to crush them. A trick I learned watching Sarah practising her skills. That left only six remaining Jedi, three padawan's and three Jedi Knights.

Keep moving, Kate. Don't stay still. Don't give them a chance to land a blow. I thought to myself. One well-placed strike can end the fight. Dads' phrase popped into my head.

So that's what I did. I charged at the Jedi's, ducking and weaving my way around them, letting them take out each other without me having to do it. I made sure I never stood in one place for more than three seconds at a time; I slid in between their open legs, tripping them. After about five minutes, only two were left standing. A Jedi Knight and a Padawan. Both were breathing heavily and the Padawan had trouble standing, wobbling a little from foot to foot. I smiled to myself.

You mean, when does the circus start? Nicholle's comment flowed back into my head. They want a show? I thought, well then, let them have it.

My smile now grew big and wide, showing off all my teeth. I dropped the light saber and closed my eyes, letting the cool feeling spread quickly throughout my body once again. I could hear the water rushing towards me. Something I taught myself was to find water where ever it may be, whether it may be from plants, a river, in the air or deep underground. I could get water anywhere. Soon gallons of water came gushing in through the windows and the great big door. Everyone was calling out in surprise and the two Jedi's actually dropped their lightsabers and stood in awe.

I stood my ground and commanded the water to move around the remaining Jedi, engulfing them in a huge ball of spinning water. They both tried to break free but to no avail. After about a minute, I broke the ball of water and used to water to pin them to the ground. I knew they would have trouble breathing so; I quickly ran up to them and used my gifts again to remove the excess water from their lungs allowing them to breathe again. The water I summoned then receded back to where it came from, leaving the room and jedi bone dry.

I turned to look at the Jedi Council on the stage once again, bowed and returned back to my family on the side lines greeted by thunderous applause from the audience.
