CHAPTER 2
Eden hung her head as she stood silently in the glass elevator beside an even more powerful being than her that was as high as her knee. She scratched her scars behind her ears as the elevator stopped and they both walked out.
In a circular room was a group of Master Jedi's including master Windu all of which were cross-legged and meditating. She walked into the small circle in the center of the room. She remembered this room very vaguely as she had only been in it a few times one of which was when she was first tested to become a Jedi when she was 5 years old.
Yoda climbed up onto the center seat and she bowed to a 90-degree angle out of respect for them. He sighed and nodded at her as she shifted her feat to stand comfortably.
"Tell us you must why you are here," Yoda said, as if he didn't already know.
"Is it because of the trials?" Eden asked rolling her eyes a little.
"Hmm Cheated one could say" Yoda kept a straight face. "How you cheated one could say was remarkable"
"Tell us how you connected with Blair" Master Windu asked her and she took in a deep breath.
"Well you see Masters I cheated because I feel really sorry for Blair as she is good at the skill of the light saber but she is bad with the imagery trials." Eden never finished because she was cut of.
"Later Blair will be dealt with. Now how you cheated," he said and she took another deep breath.
"When I was little I realize I could talk to people through my mind" she started and they all looked at her as if what she was saying was brilliant. "And I guess I thought I could help Blair by telling her the answers so that she could continue with second semester"
"Great gift you have young paduane, put it to good use you must" Yoda said and she bowed.
"Yes Master" she agreed. "What about Blair?" she blurted out not thinking.
"She will still become a Jedi, don't worry Eden" Master Windu assured her and she smiled before turning toward the elevator.
"Have Deja'vu do you Eden?" Yoda asked and she turned back to face them.
"Every one does," she said as the back of her ears tingled.
"See the future you do" he closed his eyes and her ears burnt. She bit her bottom lip.
"No." she snapped. "I don't see the future"
"Corisan you only home is it not?" he asked her and she nodded slightly with a confused and puzzled look on her face.
"I don't k-know" she squinted swallowing hard. She only ever remembered her first tests nothing else.
"Clouded you past is young paduane" Yoda opened his wrinkly green eyes to stare deep into hers. She broke away and bowed before turning and running for the elevator. She looked out the glass at the city below trying to clear her mind.
Once she had remembered hearing that Corisan was one big city covering the whole planet. It was amazing though and must have taken years to build. Eden could only remember ever living in Corisan but she was sure she must have come from somewhere else.

Eden dawdled back to her room slowly. Suddenly she felt alone realizing that she had no possessions of any kind like a photo album or something to remind her of anyone she had no relationships like friends (with the exception of Blair who was always around her making her a friend of a sort) or any relatives.
"This sucks" she kicked a rock and the door in front of her slit in half diagonally and let her outside. She stared up at the sky as the clouds raced across it creating a thick dark grey blanket. Tiny droplets of rain began to fall as she kept walking and walking.
The rain beat down on her harder and hard and when she stopped her hair flicked in front of her dripping all down her front. She sighed and leant against the cement wall sliding down so that she was sitting with her legs tucked under her.
She pulled her cloak around her pulling her hood onto her head and her knees to her chest.
"HOLD IT STILL!" a bounty hunter shouted to his partner half hidden by the mist of the rain. Eden looked up and squinted to see what was happening. All she could see were two bounty hunters wrestling with a dark human looking thing.
"IT'S TOO STRONG!" the other shouted as the shing of metal on metal pierced the cold air. Eden jumped up and ran towards them to stop whatever they were doing to the creature.
"This thing will be worth thousands of Republican credits if we bring it in, alive or dead" his voice turned cold as Eden stopped near them.
"Let it go! She shouted sternly.
"Or what girly? You'll slap us?" one asked cruelly laughing behind his mask.
"No she drew out her light saber and it shone a bright purple humming as she moved it.
"Shit come on!" one of them shouted and they ran away as the thing fell down onto its knees.
"Are you alright?" Eden asked putting her light saber back into her belt.
"Shard be' fine" it snapped standing up before loosing its balance.
"Come on" Eden grabbed it under its arm and it hissed at her. "Look I wont hurt you," she promised but it still pulled away.
"Shard don' need ya'" whatever it was its English was really bad and it was speaking in third person.
"Well, Shard, I am going to get some food. You know what food is?" she asked as red eyes flashed at her in the mist. Eden jumped a little as it hissed quietly.
"Shard 'aint stupid" it snapped and Eden walked away.
"Well you can stay and freeze or get some food with me" Eden smiled walking towards another split door pushing her hand against a plate. The thing stood there for a moment before cautiously walking with Eden in the door.
For a split second Eden saw the things eyes. They were bright red with a darker red pupil and where there would be white backings there were pitch- black emptiness. It put on some shaded glasses hiding its eyes before Eden got another look.
They both sat down at a booth staring at one another. Shard was wearing a tight black top with a zippered front and really baggy black pants. Her black hair was at the back of her knees and it slowly changed into red at the bottom as if dipped in blood. A black trench coat was under her hair and her blood red lips were straight and tight.
"So who or what are you?" Eden asked her and Shard shrugged.
"Shard not sayin', Tis but Shard know what you are" she said all muddled but Eden's heart skipped a beat. What did she know? Did she know her passed?
