Obi-Wan was asleep because he wasn't feeling well to be looking around anymore.
Suddenly, R3 made a startled whirr and bumped into Kenobi.
Obi-Wan groaned, looking at his droid. "R3, stop it." he murmured weakly.
R3 made the same startled whirr.
"What has gotten into you, R3?"
Just at that moment, Obi-Wan heard a pebble fall.
He looked around and saw nothing.
"What is getting to you, R3?" Kenobi asked.
His droid just beeped.
Obi-Wan sighed, laying back down and went to sleep.
A second later, he gasped in pain, feeling something sharp in his back and went unconscious.
R3 whimpered.
Obi-Wan woke up, chained to a cold wall in a dark room.
He shook his head, only to feel it pound.
Obi-Wan groaned, his head resting against his arm.
Then, he saw a girl with someone else with her. Obi-Wan could only make out that it was a male; about the girl's age. Probably older.
Kenobi couldn't make out what the girl looked like.
The Jedi Knight didn't mention it before, but, Marixa was once his Padawan Learner, before Anakin. In the middle of the war, the young Padawan had turned to the Dark Side. She was once believed dead until the day Obi-Wan found out that the young Sith Padawan still lived.
The girl grinned. "Hello, my old Master." she said.
Obi-Wan lifted his head up with a gasp. "M-Marixa?" Obi-Wan gasped.
She chuckled. "How wonderful it is to find you crawling around Cryonic," she smirked, "why are you here, I might ask?"
Kenobi glared at her. "I could ask the same thing," he snarled. "The day you went missing was the most terrible day of my life. Then, a few days ago, we heard about you. The Jedi Council sent me to find you."
"And then you were given a new Padawan Learner?" Marixa questioned her former Master with a snap in her voice.
"How did you know that?"
Marixa laughed. "You haven't taught me everything, Master."
Obi-Wan glared at her as she and the boy left.
"I hope by the Force Anakin does not come looking for me," Obi-Wan muttered. "That would be a grave mistake."
Anakin sat up in his bed quickly.
"Obi-Wan!" he cried, looking around his Quarters.
He felt his Master in danger.
"No," he said. "I promised Master Kenobi that I would stay here. But-but he needs my help."
"Master Obi-Wan will be fine, young Padawan." a gentle female voice said.
The Padawan looked up and saw Master Valla.
Anakin looked down. "But, I-I felt him in a danger that he can't get out of alone."
"What did your Master tell you to do?" the Jedi Knight asked in a soothing voice.
"To say at the Temple. But-"
"I don't think that Obi-Wan wants you to get hurt, Anakin," she said. "It will be wise for you to stay here." Valla said.
Anakin nodded. "Yes, Master." he murmured.
Master Valla walked out, the door sliding shut behind her.
Anakin knew that she had gone into her Quarters, so he got out of bed and changed out of his pajamas and snuck out to the Hangar.
Anakin was lucky that nobody was awake.
He was old enough to fly his own Starfighter.
R2-D2, Anakin's droid, rolled over to him, beeping in a confused whirr.
"Quiet, R2!" Anakin whispered. "I don't want to get in trouble."
R2 beeped again as Anakin climbed into his Starfighter. "Yes, I know my Starfighter makes noise, but anyone can hardly hear it," he said. "Now get in, R2."
R2 beeped and got into Anakin's Starfighter.
Obi-Wan gasped, his eyes flying open, feeling a disturbance in the Force.
"No," he whispered. "I told him to not follow me!"
Just then, Obi-Wan saw dark light under the crack of the door.
Marixa and the boy walked into the room with a smaller boy.
No… Obi-Wan thought.
It was his Padawan Learner, Anakin.
The older boy chained Anakin to the wall next to Obi-Wan.
Marixa grinned, folding her arms over her chest.
"I thought the Youngling would put up a fight, Terise." Marixa mocked.
Terise grinned. "He tried."
Obi-Wan balled his hands into fists.
Terise laughed and walked out, the door sliding shut.
Marixa smirked and walked over to the Padawan.
"Lay a finger on him, Marixa," Kenobi threatened. "And you'll be sorry."
The Sith Padawan looked at him. "Why? What'll you do?" she asked.
Obi-Wan glared at her.
Marixa grinned. "Exactly." she laughed and walked out.
When the door shut, the Jedi Knight turned to his Padawan.
"What did I tell you, Anakin!" he growled.
"To…stay back at the Jedi Temple?" Anakin said, looking up at his Master.
"Then, why did you-"
"I felt you in danger. So, I-I thought I could come and rescue you." the Padawan muttered, looking down.
"I told you not to follow me even if I was in danger!" Obi-Wan growled.
"I'm sorry, Master. I just-"
"It's too late for that now, Anakin." Kenobi snarled.
Anakin looked up at his angry Master.
This wasn't like him to be upset. Well, it wasn't like him to be this upset.
Skywalker sensed something wrong.
"Anakin, you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into." Kenobi hissed.
"No, Master, you don't!" Anakin retorted. "They've drugged you! You've never been this angry at me before. Or anyone for the fact!"
Obi-Wan shot Anakin a sharp glare.
The Padawan refused to look away from his Master.
"You have no idea what you're talking about!"
"Yes I do! You're the one who doesn't know!" Anakin shot back with a growl.
