Chapter Four: A New Power

Rena fell into a deep sleep, all she wanted was a break from the madness that was now called her life. But the Force had other plans. 'Irena.' What? Wait, aren't I sleeping? This is dream, please tell me this is just a dream. 'This is not a dream, but yes you are still sleeping. I'm giving you another vision, young one.' No, I can't take any more visions, its too much pressure, I just a kid, I can't do what you're asking! '…' Force? Are you still there? Why did I get hurt the last time you gave me a vision? '…' Great, I guess I'm getting a vision no matter what than right? '…' Great…

(Force Vision!)

It was almost dark on a very dry planet. Sand dunes covered the landscape and twin suns were about to set. A Jedi was searching for someone. Time passed and the Jedi snuck into a tent. In there he saw an elderly woman, who was beaten and bruised, lying down. He ran over to her and cradled her in his arms.

"Son? Oh my grown up son." The woman said to the Jedi as she held his face with one of her hands. "I'm so proud of you." She mumbled. "I missed you." The Jedi said trying to hold back tears. "Now I am complete." The woman tiredly said. They sat in silence for a few seconds. The woman caressed the Jedi's cheek. "I love…" Her voice drifted into nothingness. "Stay with me, Mom." The Jedi pleaded, "I'm here." The woman looked at her son, "I… I love…" She trailed off as she took her last breath, suddenly dropping her hand. Her head fell back onto her son's arm.

The Jedi stared at his mother, he was horrified. He looked down at her body trying to make sense of what happened. His eyes flew around the room, he couldn't look at his mother, if he looked it made it real. He made himself look back at his mom's lifeless body as he shut her eyes.

Despair slowly turned into a blind rage as he got up and walked out of the hut. He ignited his lightsaber and killed two Tusken Raiders. He looked on as the whole village started to scatter. Two more Tuskens ran up to fight the Jedi, but they were no match. Soon the entire village was slaughtered by the raged Jedi, by the Jedi who dared to use the Dark side.

(Force Vision Ended!)

Force, why do you keep showing me these terrible things? All I want is some peace. 'I show you these visions so you can prevent them. Child, you are my representative, you have the chance to change these terrible things, though to be able to prevent tragedy you must lose your own peace.' Lose my own peace? Does this mean that for the rest of my life I will be plagued with other's pain? Will I ever be able to have time to myself? 'Young one, your peace will be restored after you prevent your visions from coming true. Dear Irena, you have the power to help the helpless, you can save the ones who are on paths that lead to darkness. You have a new power that you never had. Please, help the Jedi you have seen. He is in danger. The path he is on now will kill millions. Save him.' Save him? Save who? I don't know who that Jedi was that I saw! Please stop being so cryptic! Force! Force? Ugh, you have to tell me when you're going to leave because this not getting answered thing is getting really annoying!

Rena screamed as she opened her eyes. The two Jedi woke up startled. "Rena are you alright?" Anakin asked her. She looked down at her hands, small blue bolts of lightning danced around her fingers. "What the Sith is going on?" She asked startled as she looked at Obi-Wan. His eyes grew wide as he met Rena's. Both of her eyes were yellow, Sith yellow. Anakin started to walk towards her. "Stay back Anakin." Obi-Wan warned. "Rena, please calm down." Obi-Wan said, almost pleaded. "Calm down?! I can't calm down. I can't do what the Force wants me to do! I'm going to fail, and millions of people are going to die because I can't do it." Rena buried her head in her hands, the bolts of electricity subsided. "I can't do it. I can't." She said as tears began to run down her face. She thought about what she told Anakin the day before.

"Look, Skywalker, you got to get over yourself, Obi-Wan from what I've seen isn't holding you back, you really need to let go of your anger. You can't control everything okay? Life's funny that way, you can't control it. I'm sorry that you're concerned for Padmé but you can't let your emotions control you." Rena stopped, she had no idea where that came from, but she knew she told him what he needed to hear.

Rena realized that she had to get control of her emotions, sitting and crying about what she has to do wasn't going to change anything. She took a deep breath in and calmed herself down. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to burst out crying. But what the Force is telling me to do I just don't think I can do it." Rena lifted her head and her eyes met Obi-Wan's.

Obi-Wan was relieved. Rena's eyes were back to normal, one yellow one blue. He walked over to her, "The Force has given you a great power, and believes you can use it. You must have faith in yourself." She nodded. "I think I need to leave here. I can't stay at the Temple. I have to get away from the Jedi." She said without thinking. She glanced at Anakin who looked a little hurt. "I don't mean you guys, even though you are Jedi, I still need to be trained properly. But something's telling me I have to leave." Rena said as she got up.

"You don't mean now." Anakin said, more as a statement than a question. "Actually I do, something about this place is unnerving. I can't put my finger on it but I need to leave." Rena stated as she grabbed the clothes Siri Tachi gave her. "It's the middle of the night." Obi-Wan said trying to talk some sense into her. "I know." Rena folded the tunics and started to head out of the room. "You just broke down crying, do you really think leaving is the best thing right now?" Obi-Wan asked. "It is. I know it. I'm going to find Yoda and talk to him. When I get back, I want to leave." She placed the now folded clothes on Anakin's bed and walked out of the dorm.

Rena walked around the Temple, letting the Force guide her until she came across a room. She walked in and saw a small green figure in meditation. "Questions you have. Ask them you may." Yoda said. Rena sat down next to the Jedi Master. "I had a Force Vision yesterday, I saw a Jedi get their right forearm get cut off, when I woke up from the vision I had this." She rolled up her tunic sleeve to reveal a wound covered by a bacta patch. "Strange this is. Rare ability you have, Miss Shaidene. Only been heard of once, it has. Connected to the one you see in your visions, you are. What they feel, you feel. Rare ability called Force-Empathy, this is." Yoda said. "Force-Empathy?" Rena repeated. "Mmmhmm, yes. Feel what those in your visions do, do you not? Feel their emotions, feel their pain, take it as your own you do. Dangerous ability. Sense your distress I do. Happened what did?" Yoda questioned. "When I woke up tonight, lightning was on my hands. I felt anger and rage. But instead of taking it out on anyone or anything, I fell apart and started to cry. I felt weak." Rena said, feeling ashamed. "The Dark side you speak of, used Sith Lightning you did. Instead of using it you let it out into the Force you did. Let the rage out in your tears. Feel weak you should not, tempting the Dark side is, resisted it you did. Proud of you I am." Yoda smiled at her. "Felt this way because of your vision you did?" Yoda asked. Rena nodded. "Control your emotions, you cannot. Way you are it is, allowed to feel pain you are, allowed to feel the Light and Dark side you are. Very strange this all is." Yoda said sounding a bit confused. "If happen again it does, release your emotions into the Force you should. Ignore them do not. Be opposite of the Jedi you should, allow emotions in you must. Find peace only then you will. Safe you must be, Miss Shaidene." Yoda explained. Rena got up and started for the door. "May the Force be with you." Yoda said to her. "May the Force be with you as well." Rena said with a small smile and walked out of the room.

"What happened, Master?" Anakin asked Obi-Wan. "I don't know. I believe Rena was using the Dark side, however the feelings I felt from her didn't seem to be her own. It was something more, elusive." Obi-Wan said to his Padawan. "What are we going to do, Master? We can't just leave the Temple." Anakin said looking at his now vacant bed. "I am going to contact Master Yoda, I want his opinion on all of this." Obi-Wan said reaching for his comlink. "Wait, Rena said she was going to talk to him. Shouldn't you wait before you com him?" Anakin asked. "You are right, my young Padawan. After she comes back I want you to stall her so I can ask Master Yoda what to do." Obi-Wan told him. Anakin nodded then asked, "How?" Obi-Wan thought for a moment, "I don't know. Improvise."

Rena walked down a hallway. She was lost. Force! I have no idea where I am, can I get a little help? Suddenly she felt something, something that she couldn't explain. She started walking down the left passage of a hallway and found herself in front of Obi-Wan and Anakin's dorm. Thanks. That was weird. She entered the dorm and saw Anakin looking at her. He looked concerned and nervous. "Please stop that." She said swaying uneasy. "Stop what?" Anakin asked. "You know what. Stop looking at me like that, Skywalker." She said while sitting down in a chair. His raised one of his eyebrows in response. "It's making me uncomfortable." She said while looking at his eyes, they were such a brilliant blue she felt as if she was lost in them. Stop thinking these things! Rena, get a grip, you can't like him. You don't.

Rena got up to grab her clothes but when she came to the bed they weren't there. "Um… Where are my tunics?" She asked. Anakin feigned innocence and shrugged. "Where are they, Skywalker?" She asked again. She read his mind. Yeah right, you better try harder than that Skywalker. "If you think hiding my tunics from me is going to stop me from leaving, you're wrong." She started walking to the door. He jumped up from his seat and ran over to it, blocking the only exit. She looked up at him. "What are you doing?" She asked puzzled. "I'm stopping you from leaving." He said. "Why? This is a free planet, and I can do what I want." She said trying to get by him but he stopped her every time. "I'm older than you which makes me in charge." He said, he knew that it was a bad excuse but all he had to do was stall her 'til Obi-Wan got back. "Oh please, what are you? Three standard years older? How ironic that's also your emotional maturity level. Now let me leave." She retorted.

"I have to protect you. I'm not moving." He said looking down into her strange eyes. Sith, he is stubborn! "I will use my Force abilities if I have to." She threated. He laughed, "Why do you want to leave so bad?" She felt the Force flowing through her, if she had to she could leave, but she wanted to use her powers as a last resort. "You wouldn't understand, I feel something bad. Like if I stay here I will die. Okay so please, I'm giving you one last chance. Move." She said readying her abilities.

Obi-Wan walked in from another room and looked at the two. Anakin was looking down at Rena, he was looking at her the same way he did when he talked about Padmé. Rena on the other hand was irritated and if looks could kill, he was sure Anakin would have already been dead. "Envoy Rena, may I talk to Anakin for a moment?" Obi-Wan asked. Rena nodded her head and she walked into another room.

"What is it, Master?" Anakin asked. "Master Yoda thinks she should leave as well. Right away in fact. But he has assigned me on another mission, he wants me to assist Master Ti in finding Senator Amidala's assassin." He said while holding up a small dart. "Apparently, this is what killed the first assassin." Obi-Wan said. "So an assassin was killed by another assassin?" Anakin asked. Obi-Wan nodded. "Who's going to protect Rena then?" Anakin questioned. "Well, my young Padawan, you are." Obi-Wan said almost reluctantly. "Me? Alone?" Anakin asked, making sure what he was hearing was correct. "Yes. You and Envoy Rena must leave right away. Do not tell anyone where you are going, not even me. I want you to travel as refugees to which ever planet you decide to go to." He said as Anakin nodded. "And Anakin, don't do anything without consulting the Council first." Obi-Wan warned. "Yes, Master." Anakin said walking into the other room to get Rena.

"Where do you want to go?" Anakin asked her. "You mean I can leave?" She asked, he nodded. "I've always wanted to go back to Naboo. Think that would be okay?" She wondered. "Yes." He said. "Great, where are my tunics?" She asked him with a very slight grin. "I brought them back to Master Tachi when you were gone. I figured that would buy me a few minutes while stalling you." He smirked. "But you won't be needing them, we have to leave right now." He said. "Well, isn't going to be obvious that you're a Jedi? I mean if the whole Padawan braid thing doesn't give it away then your tunic and Jedi robe will. And I have the look of a Jedi so… What are we going to do about that?" She asked. "We're going to travel as refugees. We'll have to get new clothes from Iliana, she makes the Jedi's tunics and robes. I'm sure she'll have something there for us." He said while walking out of the room. Rena followed smiling inwardly because she was able to go home.

Obi-Wan rose as Anakin and Rena came back into the room. "Have you decided on where you are going?" Obi-Wan asked. Rena was about to answer when Anakin cut her off. "Yes Master. We are heading there now." Anakin said and opened the door. "May the Force be with you, Master." He said. "May the Force be with you as well, Anakin. And you also Envoy Rena." Obi-Wan said. She smiled and nodded in response. Rena walked behind Anakin in the hallway and couldn't stop herself from smiling. I'm going home.
