Hope this chapter isn't to short! I hope you fellow Jedi like this chapter anyways!
"Hey Master Ordra?" Oli asked.
"Yes?" Master Willow replied as she sat down her playing cards. We had been in a middle of a game when Oli interrupted us.
"Addy said she didn't know her parents. Did you know them?"
My jaw dropped and my cards nearly slipped out of my hands, Master Willow gave me a sudden look before looking back at Oli. "No I never met the one who brought Addy to the Jedi Temple. Of what I learned is there was a man and I little girl that came and gave Addy to us. That's all I know and that's all Addy cares." I nodded. "Oh… ok…" Oli said. Master Willow pulled herself up from the ground and walked into her room, "Addy come here a moment." She called out. "I'll be right back Oli." I said and walked into Master Willow's room.
"You ok?" I asked as I put a light blanket over her. She nodded, "I'm fine." I gave her a smile and walked back to the door. "Addy?" Master Willow asked.
"Yes Master?"
"His name was Zane…"
"Huh?"
Master Willow patted on a bare spot of her bed, "Come sit," She said. I gave her a confused smile and sat beside her, "Who is Zane?" Master Willow looked down at my lightsaber then looked back up at me. "Ten years ago when I was thirteen my master, Mater Taine woke me up too tell me then there had been an explosion in a part of Corusant. We went outside to see the after math when we saw this man coming out from the fog and smoke with a little girl and a baby. Master Taine and a few others went down to help them, they told me not to follow but I did. The man, Zane handed me the kids while Master Taine took him to get help since he had been in the smoke so long…"
"Did he die?" I asked.
"Well the girl which was three her name was Griffin he and I and the baby watched over him all night but in the morning Zane did die…" then there was a sad pause, "But that night the doctors took blood tests on Griffin and the baby the results came back with high levels of Midi-Chorians so the Jedi Temple took them in for training. I got to name the baby before she left but then Master Taine came in and told me that I was to train the youngling."
"The baby's name was Aduke Hope Skywalker wasn't Master? I'm the youngling and Zane was my uncle… which means Griffin was my cousin." I said. That also met that Zane and Griffin were also a part of the Skywalker family like me.
"You're feeling are true Addy I thought it was time to tell you; I needed to eventually."
"So what happened to my family?"
"Your birth mother died in the explosion along with your father."
I nodded, "What did Griffin look like?"
"She had dark brown hair and these wonderfully hazel eyes. She had this pasty white skin but when I first saw her she was caked with black ash."
"Is she still alive?"
"She should be, the last I heard of Griffin she was under the teaching of Amistad Auster, I think her birthday was just a couple months ago."
It surprised me of how much I was actually sort of excited to know I had someone that shared the same blood as me although Master Willow was greater than any family could ever be. At least she tried to find me when I was lost. Did Griffin even know I was alive? But before I could finish my thoughts the room turned cold. Not just chilly cold but Hoth system cold. Remembering that a disturbance in the Force could be mistaken as being cold I looked back up at Master Willow, "There's a disturbance." I said.
She nodded, "But from where?" before I could reply Oli and Jillynn ran into the room, "There is something wrong!" Oli exclaimed.
"Addy where do you think it's coming from?" Jillynn asked. I thought a moment and closed my eyes hoping that the Force was giving someone a message I could read; but all I could see was the message system on The Fighter. "That's it!"
"That's what?" Master Willow asked.
"Master is the messaging system connected to the main system in Corusant?"
"Of course it; Addy what are you getting at?"
But I didn't answer I just ran out of the house and to the ship. "What are you looking for?" Coliea exclaimed. I ran onto the ship and to the main control panel the others chasing behind me. "It's a message from Corusant." I said as a stared at the red blinking light of the message system. I already knew what the message was, I think everyone knew. Master Willow reached for the button but I pushed her hand away. "I'll do it…" I whispered and I hit the button.
A hologram of a human woman appeared on the screen. She was dressed in tight black leggings and a red dress that fell to her knees; her face was mostly covered by a black hood but I could make out her face enough, most clearly two red face tattoos that coated her cheek bones. The message was blurry but I could make out the key elements. "…An Order sixty six… If you find any Jedi destroy them as soon as possible they are a threat to the galaxy…" My body turned numb but her words, "That can't be true…" I whispered as I felt Master Willow's hand touch mine, it was trembling. Was she crying? "That's impossible Master, this is a joke! Who is this woman anyways?" but no one answered the only sounds were the sound of Oli crying and the quite breathing of Master Willow. "I think we should send out a message for the remaining Jedi… some had to survive." Master Willow nodded.
Nice twist I hope! There is a lot more of this Masked Woman VERY SOON! May the Force be with you!
