Here is chapter 2 guys! I'll normally be posting around this time everyday so stay posted! I don't own the characters.

No. Master. No. Don't leave me… I didn't mean for you to get hurt… no please… I'm sorry. I am so sorry… I'M SORRY! My screams filled the room as I bucked up from bed, my body sweating as I ran a hand through my long hair. My face was wet with tears and I scrubbed at my face, wishing I would stop crying when I checked the time. I had around ten minutes to get ready and meet Ben for meditation and I wouldn't want to get on his bad side first thing in the morning.

I hurriedly forgo changing into new clothes since I wore the same ones in and out of bed anyway and made a mad dash to the meditation spot, a nice area overlooking the ocean. The sea breeze was cool and I let myself take in the freshness of the morning air when I felt a looming presence behind me.

"Good morning," Ben huffed as he moved to his rock. I mentally told myself to call him Master Solo from now on as I sat across from him, letting my legs cross as I looked at him for a moment. He looked like he had a rough night as well and there were slight dark circles under his eyes. Even as I tried to prod his mind without him knowing, I couldn't get anything out of him. It was like he had layers of iron walls around his mind.

"What do you think you're doing?" he growled as he stared at me. As he did, his face softened as he asked, "You had a nightmare?" I had forgotten to wash my face in the mad dash to meditation but I just did my best grin and said, "Nothing to worry about, Master Solo." Man, that made him sound so old. He sighed as he closed his eyes, starting to meditate. He looked calmer than he was when he was awake, well I guess meditation was supposed to do that to you anyways.

I closed my eyes, letting the Force creep into my mind and fill it with calm and peace. I could hear Ben breathing heavily across me but I didn't dare to make a peep to see what was happening. After around half an hour of meditation, Ben called for it to stop and he reached into his utility belt, pulling out what looked like fruits and a sandwich. "Breakfast," he grunted as he tossed them to me. I caught them with surprise. I didn't figure he would go out of his way to get food for me.

"I just don't want to get stared at in the cafeteria so I always bring my food out with me," he said before I could say my thanks. "Well, I was going to thank you, Master but I think I'll save that for next time," I muttered as I bit into it. I wasn't really a fan of sandwiches and preferred more heavy meals since it could sustain me for a longer period of time but since he got it for me, I guess I wasn't obliged to toss it into the raging waters below us.

"You don't have to eat it if you don't want to," he said as I snapped from my thoughts. Just how often was he reading my mind? Was I really that easy to read to begin with? "I would appreciate if you would stop reading my mind, Master," I said, spitting out the last word as I chomped into my food. He didn't bother to answer and resumed to eat. I guess he wasn't such a good talker after all.

When we were done, he led me to the practice fields overlooking the sea and grass. It was one of my favourite spots to train since I wouldn't be seen as such a goof since I sucked at sword fights so much that I nearly broke my lightsaber during my first try. It was a miracle I was even allowed to have a lightsaber since I was such a klutz.

"Today we'll see how your progress with lightsaber combat fighting is and I'll see where to take it from there," he said as he pulled out his lightsaber. It didn't look like the typical smooth grip of a lightsaber but more crude like those in the olden days. I wanted to point out that it suited his fiery character of not being able to be contained but I didn't let it slip from me as I pulled mine out as well. "En garde," he said as I smiled, "Ready when you are, Master."

At that he grinned as he charged at me, sending a blow onto my head. I dodged it, spinning around to cut him at the shoulder. He deflected it easily as he slashed his blade against mine. His strength was insane and I could feel my arms arching after a minute of sparring just from trying not to get hacked to pieces. His moves were unpredictable as well, crude and wild as compared to mine where I had to follow steps so I won't go all over the place.

"Don't focus on a series of steps. Make your weapon your own. Use your own style. Don't be bound by the rules," he said as I stopped muttering saber techniques in my head. That cleared my head for a minute to release one hand and swipe the lightsaber at him. He grinned as he dodged it. "Not bad," he said as I felt something at my throat. Blue flashed under my eyes as he turned off his lightsaber.

"Swordfight isn't just about following methods. Sure, the steps help us to know what to do in a fight but they are just there to guide you, not to be the very essence of your fight. What would happen if you forget one sequence during the battle? Just trust your instincts and use the Force to guide you," he said as he moved back. I was surprised at how deep he was with his words and how much it reflected his moves. I didn't know he was much of a talker either.

"Again," I said as I held my lightsaber in front of me. This time I gripped it with both hands, focusing on the energy blazing in front of me as he twirled his lightsaber. "Come at me," he said as I charged, using all my strength to smash into him. He was strong but not too fast so I managed to catch him unguarded a few times. I nearly won the fight but I soon found myself panting on the ground, his lightsaber near my head.

"Not bad. I think I know where to work from here," he said as he gave me a hand to take. For once since I met him, which wasn't even 24 hours ago, he had a small smile on his face as I reached for it and let him pull me to my feet. I stumbled a little, my legs shaky from the fight as he said, "Class is over for today. Reflect on today's lesson and come here again tomorrow." Just when I thought things were going to get interesting.

"Hey, since we have time why don't we spare some more?" I demanded as he whirled around. "You want to make me angry when I'm tired? You're already worn out so get some rest," he said as I huffed like a little kid. "Fine, Master. See you tomorrow," I said as I turned to leave. When I did so, I heard him call out, "Call me Ben. Calling me Master makes me sound old." Not waiting for a reply, I turned to walk back to the Temple, a slight smile on my face thinking I wouldn't be so awkward around him after all.
