A/N: Hey everyone! I know I am bad at updates, so sorry! But I wanted to provide an update for those interested still. This chapter is actually what started my journey into my Star Wars fanfiction. I had created the character of Genna, and had her in this movie specifically. I wrote the first story so I could properly introduce her, and her skill set. Now, this chapter is the updated and revised version, but it still holds many of the same elements of the original. I hope you enjoy it, and please, leave me a review!


Chapter Two

I left my contact and quickly made my way back to the temple. I returned the speeder and immediately ran into someone. I looked up, an apology on my lips, when I saw that it was Obi-Wan. The apology died on my lips as I took in his appearance. He had changed in the ten years since I saw him. He now had a beard and long hair that oddly suited him. "Genna? Is that you?" I heard him whisper. I slowly nodded, then quickly realized that my mouth was still open. I quickly closed it and put on the familiar mask that I had come to use around other Jedi. I saw an immediate shift in Obi-Wan's emotions, but I couldn't bring myself to drop the mask.

"A pleasure to see you again, Master Jedi," I mumbled loud enough to be heard by his apprentice, who was standing nearby. I studied his apprentice and saw that it was the boy from ten years ago. What was his name again? Annie? I moved my attention away from him and back to the man standing before me. I felt my eyes drawn to his, inexplicably, and felt my heart begin to speed up. I quickly controlled these reactions and instead chose to focus on my mission.

"Are you in need of an escort, milady?" I realized that I must still be dressed in my Alderaanian garb, much to my embarrassment.

"No, Master Jedi, but thank you. I am just on an errand for the Senator. He has expressed some concerns about the recent attack on Senator Amidala, more specifically on her safety, as the two are good friends." I saw Obi-Wan nod.

"Well, you can assure Senator Organa that Senator Amidala will be under the protection of the Jedi." His apprentice caught my attention at that pronouncement. He had a violent reaction to our conversation. Obi-Wan must have followed my gaze because he beckoned his apprentice over. "Milady, I would like to introduce you to my Padawan, Anakin Skywalker. Anakin, this is-" I saw his hesitation coming and gave a small nod, signaling that he could use my given name in this instance. "Lady Genna of the House of Organa." I gave a small smile at my friend, thanking him silently for his quick mind.

"A pleasure to meet you, Lady Genna," claimed Anakin. I nodded my head imperiously at the boy, while taking note of what changes had occurred in him, both the obvious and subtle changes. "Master, we must be off," he urged, as if anxious to move on from the hanger. "Senator Amidala is waiting for us," he whispered in an attempt to keep their assignment concealed.

Obi-Wan nodded to his apprentice and told him to go to the speeder. Based on the frown given by Anakin, I surmised that they would be taken over there and Anakin was being deprived of a chance to pilot. Obi-Wan returned his focus to me. He dropped his voice into a low whisper that only I could hear. "I am surprised that we have been assigned to protect the Senator and not yourself."

I looked around before responding. "The Council has decided to use my skills elsewhere. To look for someone, as it were." I gave him a pointed look that he thankfully seemed to pick up on.

"Well," he responded, his voice rising in volume, "I wish you luck on your endeavors and safe travels, Milady." He kissed my hand and walked away, leaving me alone with my thoughts. However, I could not dwell on these thoughts. I needed to use my credentials and make my way to Geonosis, where Dooku was rumored to be.

I returned to my ship, where all my identities and costumes were held. I dug through the many ones I had acquired throughout the years and settled on one that was associated with the Intergalatic Banking Clan, who I knew would be out at Geonosis based on what my contact had told me. It would not be odd for another member to join the party at a later time, plus there would be so many parties there I could go unnoticed, and hopefully complete my mission.

I quickly started my ship, taking off as soon as I could. I plotted the hyperspace route to get me to Geonosis and moved to the bedchamber within the ship. The journey should take at most a standard week, which would give me time to look over my notes about the Intergalatic Banking Clan and Dooku.

When I finally arrived to Geonosis, I was happy to see that there were still other ships arriving. I transmitted the code given to me (once again by my contact) and was instructed on where to land. I quickly docked my ship and was escorted to where the rest of the Intergalactic Banking Clan was staying. I was put in a room that was little more than a cave. I started unpacking the small bag I had brought in with me and began my usual routine of scanning for bugs. None were present, which allowed me to relax.

As soon as I relaxed, there was a knock at the door. I opened it and saw Count Dooku standing before me. I quickly squashed my fear and politely greeted him. "Would you like to come in, sir?" I asked. He quickly stepped in, towering over my small frame.

"I just wanted to greet you personally, dear. You are the only female in attendance for these proceedings and I wanted to make sure that they wouldn't disrupt your delicate mind."

I gave a small, girlish giggle before responding. "I can assure you, my lord, that I would not have been sent here." I gave him a shy smile, hoping that he wouldn't look past my outwardly appearance and just focus on the small woman standing in front of him. He gave a nod and left the room, the door sliding to a close behind him. I let out a brief sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the door slid back open, Dooku storming in, droids flanking him. Two droids each grasped an arm, holding me tight. "My dear, did you think that I wouldn't recognize you?" He asked condescendingly. He stalked out of the room, the droids dragging me behind him.

I was dragged to another cave like room. There, the droids threw me onto the floor and left. I was alone in the room with Dooku.

"Why were you sent here, young one?" He gently asked. I gave a bark of a laugh and was immediately rewarded with a backhanded slap.

We continued on in this fashion for an indeterminate amount of time. I blacked out from the pain, and when I awoke, I found myself suspended in a containment field, the electrical currents snaking across my body, causing pain to erupt through my injuries. It took all I had not to cry out in pain.

Dooku came back in, a smirk playing on his face. "Do you know how you were caught, little one?" He smugly asked. When he was met with silence, he scowled. "You were betrayed, by your own informant! He told his superiors all that had been said between the two of you and gave them the code he gave you. Of course, death is always a good motivator." I hardened my eyes at the man. "Not to worry, though. He died a painless death, which is better than what will happen to you." He motioned to the generator, shutting it, and the containment field, down, releasing me from where I had been hanging. I immediately dropped, hitting the platform hard before falling the rest of the way to the floor, where I tried not to whimper in pain. I saw his boots come into my field of vision. With a small grunt, Dooku knelt down and harshly lifted my head up by my hair, forcing me to look him in the eye. "You see, you shall be executed after the treaty is signed, as a celebration of victory over the Republic, and as a symbol of the end of the Jedi. Just think, with your death, a new era shall rise."

I smirked at Dooku, finally breaking my silence. "And when I escape, Count?" I asked. He looked at me before proceeding to beat me again. Instead of crying, I chose instead to laugh, which only angered Dooku more. He kept beating until I passed out again, though he probably continued to beat me then.

This pattern continued off and on, until one time, when I awoke, I was no longer suspended in the containment field. Rather, I was left crumpled on the floor where I had passed out. I realized I had been left there because I couldn't move even if I wanted to. Both of my legs were at unnatural angles, and one of my shoulders was dislocated. I heard the door slide open again and was greeted by the sounds of footsteps entering into the room. I couldn't even lift my head enough to see who entered, but I wouldn't have even bothered. The only person who ever came in here was Dooku, which meant pain was also on its way.

"Greetings, young one. I have brought you a visitor," I heard him tease. I felt my head violently being lifted and was greeted with the sight of Obi-Wan. It was then that I realized one of my eyes was swollen shut. Dooku kept my head up, showing me what he was doing. Obi-Wan was placed in the containment field that had become my home. I could see it's immediate effect on him as Dooku sneered at the two of us. He strode over to me, but before he could deliver the blow, an aide entered into the room and called him over. He left in a hurry, leaving me and Obi-Wan alone.

"Genna," Obi-Wan called out to me in a strained voice. I gave a sound in response, too weak to do much else. "Oh, Genna. What has he done to you?" I could hear the sadness in his voice, the pity, which gave me the energy to roll over, slowly.

"Well, he isn't please with me, I can tell you that. Seems to think that laughing is a crime." I heard Obi-Wan chuckle at that. "What are you doing here, Obi-Wan?"

"There was another attack on Padme. Anakin was assigned to escort her back to Naboo while I tracked down the bounty hunter who orchestrated the attack. He lead me here, where I wasn't careful enough and was captured."

I gave a shallow snort before gasping in pain. Obi-Wan began to ask me what was wrong, but I drowned out his question with tears, the first ones I allowed to fall since my captivity.
