Hiya!
I'm back!
WARNING: MASSIVE Obi-Torchure!
Obi Wan bent down again in another attempt to pull a specifically tough weed out.
This was the fifth time he had tried to pull the weed.
He had only gotten about one fifth of the yard done.
The suns were already setting in the Tatooine sky.
He was doomed for torchure and a night long work shift of pulling these blasted things.
"Scum! Get over here!" the voice of his new master sounded throughout the field.
"And now comes the torchure." Obi Wan groaned.
Obi Wan dragged his feet to the house where the man stood, an evil grin on his face.
"Scum, you never got close. Come 'ere." The man growled.
Obi Wan was led to a wall on the side of the house. It had a board on it with ropes on each corner.
"I will tye you to the board. You will have fifty lashes. If you make a sound, another lash will be added along with the ropes being tye tighter around your ankles and wrists. Now, get on." The man took out his whip.
The whip looked normal, until he revealed it. It was and electrowhip then it spread out to nine separate whips.
Is this what Anakin went through as a kid? Obi Wan asked himself as the slaver tyed his wrists and legs to the board.
He heard the whip crack and his back was sent into a world of pain. It hurt even more than the ones on Kadavo. It was more electrified and had nine times the whips. Obi Wan sucked in his breath so he wouldn't make a sound.
After 14 lashes, Obi Wan couldn't take it. On the fifteenth lash, a small scream escaped his lips.
"Ah, finally. I wanted to add a little more pain to this." Obi Wan heard his master step up and grab the rope. The slaver pulled so tight, the circulation to Obi Wan's hands was immediately cut off.
The next lash had, if possible more force behind it.
...
Anakin and Ahsoka landed on Tatooine. Where was he? The slaver had said something about an auction. Anakin knew where those were held, all too well.
"This way, Ahsoka." Anakin was in a hurry, he could feel the pain from Obi Wan's side of the bond.
"Master?" Ahsoka was quiet.
"Yes?" Anakin replied
"Do you think Obi Wan is okay?"
"I don't know." Anakin didn't want to worry Ahsoka with the obvious pain from Obi Wan's bond.
"Do you know where we're going?" Ahsoka asked. She knew Anakin had been a slave. Obi Wan had told her that not long ago.
"Yes, Ahsoka."
They made their way to the auction arena to see a hutt at the entrance.
"Auction's over. Ended earlier today." The hutt mumbled.
"Was there anyone with auburn hair sold by a zyggerian?" (again, sorry if I spelled it wrong.)
"Yes, sold to a man by the name of Gashen." The hutt replied.
"Where was he taken to?" Anakin questioned farther.
"Why should I tell you?"
Anakin ignighted his lightsaber and held it against the surprised hutt's neck. "This is why." Anakin hissed.
"West side, six clicks. Outskirts." The hutt hastily said.
"That's all." Anakin growled.
...
Obi Wan made it through the whipping without making another sound.
"Get back to work, scum." The man said. He looked almost upset the whipping had ended.
The suns had already set and it was almost pitch black. There was a little light from the house and stars.
Obi Wan knew it would be a long night. His wrists were numb which didn't help his work. Not to mention he was weak from the past couple of weeks. First he had been beaten by D'Nar, then beaten by Atai Molec, then beaten by Agruss, then sold here. He as on the verge of collapse. He was losing blood from the whip and he was dazed from the electricity. This was not good.
...
Obi Wan had been pulling weeds for about ten minutes when a screech pierced the air. Tuskan Raiders.
Obi Wan's heart stopped. He looked around to see about fifty tuskans.
He knew he would have to fight. If he didn't, he would die.
The raiders moved in and they all attacked at once. They began by firing their rifles at him. He dodged some of them until one hit his leg. Obi Wan slumped down in pain but quickly got up, ignoring the pain, refusing to be taken.
They quit firing and began to take out rusty old knives. Obi Wan froze. This wasn't good.
He managed to fight most of them off but one Tuskan managed to score a hit on Obi Wan's stomach. It immediately drew blood but Obi Wan continued fighting.
He began to sway with every punch. He wasn't hitting his targets as much and the raiders were beggining to overwhelm him.
He was almost defeated when a bright light burst through the darkness of night. Then a figure jumped out and Obi Wan was given the first glimpse of hope. he heard a lightsaber ignite.
The raiders immediately ran off into the dark. As the figure got closer, Obi Wan's stomach hit the floor. The lightsaber was red.
Obi Wan began to back off when a familiar voice spoke up.
"Master Kenobi, in a bit of a situation aren't we." Said Count Dooku.
Obi Wan was too exhausted to speak and just crumpled to the ground.
"No fight hmm? Well, that makes my job easier, doesn't it?"
The Count proceeded to pick up the limp Jedi and took him to the speeder.
"My master will be quite pleased." The Count laughed as he drove to the space port with the injured Jedi in the back.
...
Anakin and Ahsoka drove through the dark. They saw the landscape and hopped out.
They knocked on the door.
No one answered.
Anakin kicked the door open. "Obi Wan?" He called.
"Who's there?" A voice called.
"We are here for your... slave." Anakin choked on the last word.
"Get out." A man rounded the corner with a pipe in his hand.
"Where is he?" Ahsoka demanded, igniting her lightsaber.
"Field." The man quickly said as soon as he saw what the Jedi had.
Anakin and Ahsoka ran out and saw nothing.
Ahsoka was crying as her and Anakin barged back in.
"I'm giving you one last chance to tell me where he is before I slit your throat." Anakin threatened.
"I saw a guy come onto the property and take him after he was beaten by raiders. He had a sabre like you, except it was red."
Anakin paled and Ahsoka began to sob. "Tuskans, red lightsaber?" Ahsoka choked out.
"Please don't kill me." The man begged.
"Give me one reason why!" Anakin screamed.
The man said nothing.
"Time's up!" Anakin ran the slaver through. His body crumpled to the floor, lifeless.
With that, they ran to their speeder and took off. Ahsoka was hysterical and Anakin was screaming curses at the sith.
Little did they know, this was only the beggining.
WOW. That was one heck of a chapter.
Sorry if the ending stinks. I ran out of ideas.
