Chapter One
It was quit in the docking bay of Eclipse, the former secret Jedi base. After the war with the Yuuzhan Vong was over, it was revealed where the Jedi had been operating from.
"Auw!" came a sudden shout from under the Falcon. "You okay kid?" Han asked his son. "You should really pay attention to what you're doing. That's the third time you banged your head. "I know, I know," Anakin said while he came from under the Falcon where he had been working on some wires.
"What's happening to you?" Han asked "You've always been a bit distant, but lately… We hardly see you. You're always away doing something. If it isn't some mission it's settling a border dispute. And don't give me that 'Uncle Luke sent me', that's getting old. I know you're asking for the missions." Han walked over to where Anakin was standing.
The boy had a motionless expression on his face. The look was all too familiar to Han. Whenever this subject came up that expression came on his face.
"Dad," Anakin began. "Can we please not talk about this again?"
"You say that every time we bring this up and then you say something 'like another time', and then you….walk away. Anakin! Come back!" Anakin was walking toward the docking bay exit. Han started walking after Anakin, but stopped. He knew it was useless. Anakin wouldn't talk about it.
"Still not talking?" Came a familiar voice from behind Han. "Hi sweetheart. No he's still keeping his mouth shut. He can be so stubborn. It's not going to kill him to talk about his feelings every once and a while" Han said while hugging Leia.
"Where do you think he get this stubbornness?" she said smiling. "He'll talk when he's ready."
This burning heart of mine
It still haunts after all this time
This burning heart in me
Won't let me be.
After all this time
You still haunt my mind
I can't seem to find the peace of mind
I need so bad
Anakin Solo walked towards his quarters. He knew his father meant well, but he really didn't want to talk about it. He just wanted to keep busy. Busy so his mind wouldn't wander to the heart. His heart ached. Ached for Tahiri. How long had it been? A year? No one year, eight months and eleven days he reminded himself. How could he forget?
He'd tried to find her, but he was always a step behind. She was always gone when he arrived. He knew it was his fault she'd left. He should have tried harder. He should have opened up to someone. He should have talked to someone. He should have talked to Tahiri. His silence had driven her away. Suddenly he turned around. He had to figure out what to do.
