A/N: So, I'm finished "Gemini", so this story is my priority now. I hope to get a chapter posted every other day, or something like that. Please review!
Luzzina POV
I woke up early. I mean, earlier than usual. I was always woken up around 3 o'clock in the morning to do a 3 mile run. Now I was awake at 2 o'clock, ready to do my morning run, but I knew that we weren't doing that today. Today, I was being sent out with a group of experienced Lahi to complete a mission. The mission was to set up a trap for incoming Jedi. I didn't like it one bit, but I was forced to.
I rubbed my eyes and stood up. My room was small, and very clean. The walls were made of stone and they were painted a smokey grey colour. The floor was concrete, which made my feet really cold in the winter. I had a small wooden bed in the corner, a desk beside the steel door, and a dresser against the wall opposite my bed. There was a floor to ceiling mirror beside my bed, perfect for dressing myself. It was a small and simple room, yet elegant at the same time.
I walked over to my dresser and pulled out a fresh new black leather jumpsuit. It was very shiny and very light, perfect for flexibility. I took off my grey pyjamas and slipped the jumpsuit on. It was the perfect fit on my slender body. I stood in front of my mirror. My thick black hair was just past my shoulders. My skin was pale and white, with no pimples, birthmarks, or anything like that. My eyes were bright purple for some strange reason. My parents never had purple eyes, and my siblings didn't have them either. I guessed that it probably came from my great great grandparents or something.
I gently brushed my hair with my pink comb. My hair never became frizzy or pouffy. It was always straight and thick.
I grabbed my black boots and threw them on. My feet were smaller than everyone else's. In fact, a new size had to be made for my feet by the staff. That was embarrassing.
Finally, I grabbed my belt and put it around my waist. I grabbed my two lightsabers and clipped them to my belt. I wondered if I would need them on this mission. I shrugged and thought I'd bring them just in case.
I opened the door and exited my room. I walked down a narrow cement hallway that led to the briefing room. I'd never been in there, ever. I was scared that I would make a fool of myself. I was a total clutz after all.
My footsteps echoed through the small empty hallway. Other Lahi exited their rooms and headed to the briefing room as well. I spotted Jenna, who had just come out of her room. Her hair was tied into a tight bun and she flashed me a cheery smile. She ran over to me and pulled me into a hug. She let go and looked at me happily.
"Good morning Luzzina!" she grinned.
I blinked. Wasn't she mad as hell yesterday?
"Er, good morning Jenna," I awkwardly replied.
She smiled, not seeing that I was in a weird position right now. She grabbed my hand and she tugged me towards an elevator. She pushed me inside and closed the door. The elevator interior was leather and very luxury. There was a panel of numbers in the far corner. None of lights on the buttons worked, and no one had bothered to fix them. I wasn't gonna do it.
Jenna pressed a button and then glared at me. I raised an eyebrow.
"Luzzina, when we reach the briefing room, you will not ask stupid questions or try and back out of this. We're in this together, understood?" she said firmly.
I was shocked. Jenna was never like this, she was always happy, fun, and playful.
"Who peed in your cornflakes Jenna?" I asked sarcastically.
Jenna raised her hand and slapped me in the face, hard. I fell over and landed on my butt on the other side of the elevator. I rubbed my tender cheek as I got back up.
"What the hell was that for Jenna?" I yelled, my anger level rising.
"Look Luzzina. You have a great opportunity here. You can be part of the galaxy's strongest force users, or you can be that little girl who sat on the sidelines and watched her peers fight," she said coldly. "You aren't taking this seriously. If I were you, I would suck it up and go for it."
I couldn't answer. Jenna wasn't herself, she was just too excited, or was she?
The elevator stopped and the doors opened. Jenna ran out with a smile on her face, where as I casually walked out. The briefing room was a large, yet simple room. It was a square shape with dark brown walls and black cement floors. There were tables and computers everywhere. In the centre of the room, was a large podium and a dozen chairs.
I walked over to a chair and sat down quickly. Everyone else was there already and they were obviously waiting for me. The Commander stood at the podium, he had a sharp expression on his face, the expression that meant business.
"Welcome fellow Lahi. Today you will be assigned into groups," he explained. "Each group shall attack at different entrances, which will make the attack more of a surprise for the Jedi."
Wait, attack? Attack who? I raised my hand and the Commander nodded in my direction.
"Sir, who exactly are we attacking and why?" I blurted out. Everyone gave me a look that said "Are you dumb".
"Miss Kaepa, we are attacking the Jedi Temple of course," The Commander said like I should of known. I blushed and hung my head so no one else would see. I looked back up and noticed that Jenna was glaring at me angrily. I bit my lip, so I wouldn't start laugh.
The Commander cleared his throat and read out the list of groups. I sort of zoned off until I heard my name being called.
"And the lead group will be Jenna Cortez, Ashley Potter, Brendan Conner, and Luzzina Kaepa," he called.
I stood up and looked for my team. They were already exiting the room, so I had to run after them. I caught up and took a deep breath.
"Hey guys, so what's the plan?" I panted.
Jenna and Ashley glared at me, but Brendan smiled.
"We are the main group Luzzina. We attack at the front entrance, distracting the Jedi and letting the other groups enter the temple un-noticed. We leave tomorrow night," he smiled. I felt myself blush again. I shook my head and followed them to the hanger.
I was on my way to the temple, not to visit, but to kill.
OoOoOoO
Ahsoka POV
I tapped my fingers impatiently against the door. I was in my temporary quarters aboard a starship that I didn't even know the name of. My room was boring and plain, with grey walls and a simple bed in the corner. Nothing special.
My Master was suppose to meet me here an hour ago. He said he needed to talk to me about something important. He had been acting strange around me since he interrogated Jasmine. What did she tell him? Did it have anything to do with me?
The door slid open and Anakin walked in. His eyes were that of regret, and his fists were clenched. He was obviously pissed. I crossed my arms and pointed to the clock on the wall. He smiled and told me to sit down. I sat down on the hard bed and sighed.
"So, what's so important?" I asked impatiently.
Anakin chuckled and sat down beside me.
"Ahsoka, Jasmine told me a lot. Apparently she's part of a group called to Lahi. They are another group of force users," he started to explain.
I rolled my eyes and stared at him, making him take back that smile of his. He raised his eyebrow, then continued on.
"Anyways, the Lahi believe that we've killed one of their instructors, and they want revenge. Jasmine said that they are attacking tomorrow night," Anakin said seriously.
"What does this have to do with me Master?" I asked curiously.
Anakin took a deep breath.
"The Council wants you to go to the Lahi base as a spy and figure out their plans so we can stop them," he gritted his teeth.
"Er, Master? Why are you so upset?"
He looked at me with his sad blue eyes. I guessed that he didn't want me to go because of the danger. Like, hello Master? I can take care of myself!
"It's too dangerous Ahsoka," he sighed.
That's it! I couldn't take it! I jumped up from the bed and crossed my arms. Yep, I was angry.
"Master, I can't believe you! Why can't you trust me to do a solo mission!" I cried.
He raised his hand, trying to stop me, but I kept going.
"I'm more mature and responsible now. You're still treating me like I just became your Padawan! I'm no child anymore!"
Anakin got up and put his hand on my shoulder. I blinked back tears and looked at him.
"Ahsoka, you're right. I shouldn't be treating you this way," he said softly. "You can't blame me for wanting to protect you."
I nodded. He let go of me and walked towards the door. He left me alone in my room because he probably felt like I needed time alone. I'm glad that he did.
I noticed that he left a package on my bed. I curiously opened it up. I carefully tore the paper back and pulled out a black jumpsuit. I lay it gently on my bed and then reached back into the torn package. I pulled out a pair of black boots and two lightsabers. So, this is what he meant by a "spy" mission. I was somehow suppose to blend in and stop them from within.
I flopped onto my bed and stared at the plain grey ceiling. This was a freaking suicide mission!
