Chapter Two
Waking up the next morning, if it weren't for the subtle ache and small amount of blood between her legs, she would've thought that her and Obi-Wan's activities had been a dream. Yet here she was, naked on the mat that they had shared. The suns were just beginning to rise and as peaceful as she felt, she too needed to rise. Emily saw that Obi-Wan had dressed and was up and pacing back and forth. Sitting up, she pulled her robe towards her and slipped it on and approached him. Her hair was a mess and she felt wobbly getting up.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
"Emily, I must apologize for my behavior. What happened last night was… Well, I should've known better." Obi-Wan said, his brow furrowing. Emily looked incredulous. She should've known that Obi-Wan would end up being awkwardly sorry for what happened. His devotion to the Jedi Code was well known and forming attachments was certainly not allowed, while this wasn't necessarily an attachment, sex usually led to some kind of bond. Of course, Emily being the girl she was, laughed.
"Obi-Wan, please tell me you don't think you're the only Jedi to have ever had sex. Come on now. Even on the Masters on the council." Obi-Wan opened his mouth to argue, but Emily continued on. "I'm sure you know that despite being Jedi. We hall have needs and wants. Besides, I felt something more than just physical. I can't really explain it…"
"I felt it too, it was a strange feeling… Regardless of whatever we feel however, this cannot happen again. It's inappropriate and goes against the code. It was a mistake, and I'm sincerely sorry for it." Emily could feel the heat rising to her cheeks, her temper was about to come out, mainly to conceal the fact that this stung more than it should've.
"I recall a wise Jedi telling my brother and myself that were no accidents, only what is willed by the force, but you know what, it's fine! I don't need your apologies. I'm getting dressed and then let's see if we can't find this supposed factory set up and get off this damned planet already!" Emily snapped. She grabbed her bag and took off towards the waterfall so she could clean up a bit.
The nerve of that man! I have half a mind to tell Anakin and let him kick his ass… But Anakin would kill him and I don't need that on my conscience … she thought to herself. She also knew Anakin would be mad at her as well. As much as she loved her big brother, he was rash in his behavior. But, he was her brother, and she loved him more than anything.
Taking a deep breath and trying to regain a cool head, she washed the blood away and dressed in her spare set of clothes. She threw on the black tank top and the leggings and strapped on her boots. She managed to again contain her thick hair into a somewhat decent ponytail She walked back to her mission partner and allowed him to lead the way through the dense forest. Her mind was clouded with feelings of anger, desire, sadness, passion. Things that shouldn't cloud a Jedi's mind. She wished she could speak to Shaak Ti right about now. Her former master could always help her to clear her mind and feel better about whatever she worried about. It had been that way ever since she was a young girl and placed under her as her padawan learner. The togrutan was wise, strong and caring. As much as the Jedi could abide by no attachments, the masters and their padawans always formed close bonds, and Shaak Ti and Emily were incredibly close. Emily felt after this mission, perhaps a visit with her old master, should she not be busy, would be in order.
Obi-Wan stopped shortly ahead of Emily, causing her to walk straight into his back.
"Do you sense that?"
"Sense what?" Emily said, brushing past him and walking into a clear field.
"You know; I'm starting to think this is just a-" Emily was cut off by a bomb detonating in the center of the field. She could feel something slice into her side as she was tossed backward. Her hand immediately flew to her bleeding side as Obi-Wan ran to her.
"I don't think there's a droid base here, Obi-Wan." She growled as he looked at her side. He hesitated on lifting her shirt to properly look at it.
"Really? You're going to be shy now?" Obi-Wan rolled his eyes and looked at the gash on her side, it ended where one of the old scars on her back ended. He pulled out some gauze from his pack and wrapped it around her waist.
"That'll hold it for now. I'm going to comm for Cody and Burke to bring the ship back. Clearly we were given a false trail. There's nothing on this planet besides that old bar that houses ruffians and pirates."
"Great. I'm glad this time was well spent."
"Well, if it's any consolation, you provided a much more entertaining mission companion than Anakin would've." He said, smirking at her.
"Oh, I bet I did." As much as it aggravated her to no end, staying mad at Obi-Wan was not an easy feat. His eyes stayed upon hers, but fixated on the scar that was peeking out near her injury.
"What happened there?" Emily looked away from him, not eager to talk about her scars.
"The ship is here, we should go." Getting up, he pulled her with him and watched as she stepped away as fast as she could and getting to the ship. She didn't want to be too close to him. She couldn't be right now at least. Emily felt silly feeling so attached to him, but it was something in her that was just possessive.
"You alright general?" Burke, her clone captain asked her, looking at her side that was bleeding through the gauze already.
"Yeah, Burke. I just need a medical droid to patch me up. It's nothing serious."
Headed up to the med-center of the ship, Emily decided she would pay a visit to Shaak Ti. Without going into too much detail, she was sure she would be able to get sound advice from the Jedi Master. Once the droid had stitched her up, she received a comm from Anakin.
"Hey, sis, Heard you were blown away on your mission." Emily rolled her eyes thoroughly with that joke. Her brother was a lot of things and a comedian was not one of them. "Seriously though, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. All stitched up and ready to go. What're you up to?"
"Obi-Wan and I have been assigned to help liberate Christophsis."
"Ah, sounds fun."
"You sure you're okay? You seem off."
Oh, I'm fine, I just slept with your master and now have some weird unresolved and unrequited feelings. Other than that, I'm peachy.
"I'm fine, Ani. Go on and liberate a planet, I haven't been assigned anything as of yet, so I might visit Shaak Ti."
"Alright. Well, be careful. I'll see you soon." She nodded as the picture of her brother disappeared. She sighed as she looked out the window. Emily had a feeling that things were going to get even more complicated from here on out. Such was the life of a Skywalker.
Author's Note:
I was hoping to get more done with this, but woe is me. I'm going to be writing Emily into episodes of the Clone Wars, so that will be fun. Again, I really appreciate the bookmarks/favorites, follows, and reviews, please leave reviews! I'll try and update soon, I'm going to be writing into the Blue Shadow Virus episode and then weave in and out.
