Hello!
I am not the type of girl who likes to read love stories, and I am completely not interested in Girlfriend/ Boyfriend stuff. So forgive me if this doesn't really reflect the beginnings of love. Please? Thanks.

Chapter 7 – A disturbance
Mara Jade was furious. After she found out the Emperor, her Master, was killed she set out to find the person who killed him.
'I will have my revenge' she thought angrily.
The angry assassin sat in her quarters, slicing into some data bases. She had recently 'borrowed' some files concerning the death of the late Emperor. Mara expertly sliced into the restricted files and scanned for the section.
"KRIFF!" Mara yelled. All information in the file was useless; saying that her Master was killed because of the Death Star II blew up. But Mara knew better. After seeing the two Jedi the previous day, she knew one of them had something to do with it. She had searched them up on the Holo net last night, and found out their names and some basic info on them.
As Mara thought about them, she felt…
"I am NOT in love with him!" yelled Mara. But she knew in her heart of hearts, she did kinda like him. 'No' thought Mara, pushing the thought away 'I have a job to do and nothing will stop me from completing it'
She stood and stretched. It was time to find out what really happened on that fateful day, and there was one person who would know.
Luke Skywalker.
Jedi Master Luke Skywalker watched his twin sister, Leia Skywalker, spar with her Master, Ahsoka. Luke smiled. Leia was becoming better using the Force every day and was quick learner. Ahsoka was giving dome advice.
"That's it….. Good! ….steady, steady, wait for me to strike….Well done!"
Luke watched as Master and Padawan trade blows. Leia sent a blow towards Ahsoka with her glowing blue blade. Ahsoka blocked it, and then struck with her own green blade. Leia dodged it and, seeing an opening, struck Ahsoka on the leg.
The two women stopped and bowed to one another and walked over to Luke. Ahsoka was praising Leia.
"Well done! Your first win over me! You did really well today. Just remember to wait for the opponent to strike first and you will be amazing in no time!"
Leia nodded, listening intently to her Master. She smiled at he brother, giving him a hug.
"Gotta go Luke. Han wants to take me out for dinner. See you tomorrow Ahsoka!" Leia called back as she walked away.
Ahsoka and Luke talked for a while, before heading to their 'Special Place'. No one besides them knew where it was. It was a flat rock looking over the lights of Coruscant. The only way was to Force leap up, so it was safe from intruders. Luke watched as Ahsoka jumped up. He was amazed at how easily she made the height. He himself only just made it! She was an amazing Jedi and Luke was glad she was there to guide him.
He jumped up and sat next to the Togruta. They sat in comfortable silence for a while, looking out over at the darkening sky. They began to meditate, opening their minds to the Force. Usually, they came here to calm themselves down, but tonight they were doing something different. Ahsoka was searching for any Jedi that may have survived the Sith's rule, while Luke was searching for children who may be Force sensitive. Both were checking for any Dark Force users.
"Luke…..I sense a Dark presence….nearby!" Ahsoka said suddenly.
Luke nodded, opening his eyes "I sense it too, Soka" He stood up and looked around.
Ahsoka stood too. "I can't see anything, how about you"
"No, I can't see anyth…..DROP AHSOKA!" Luke yelled, dropping on his stomach. The small dart whizzed over Luke, but Ahsoka was not so lucky. The dart hit into her arm and she looked at it in shock.
"Luke…." Ahsoka started before she fell onto the ground. Luke checked her; she was stable, just in a deep sleep. Hopefully, she would wake soon.
Luke shook his head. That dart wass meant to hit him. He took out his lightsaber, but did not ignite it. He reached out with the Force and found the Dark presence he and Ahsoka had felt before.
'It's female' he thought with a start. Then, a small blur leapt up from the ground. He ignited his lightsaber only just in time to block the woman's red lightsaber. Luke could sense she was trained in the Dark Side, but only the basics. He knew he could overcome her easily, even without Ahsoka.
The two traded blows, Luke on the defensive. Mara's face was full of rage, Luke's full of confusion. He wanted to know what this red haired lady wanted. Mara feinted to the left, then struck with her lightsaber at Luke's right side. Luke blocked easily. They drew apart, puffing slightly. A light rain started to fall.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" Luke yelled at Mara. Mara smirked. She could tell he was confused.
"I want information, and I want it now" she called back. "And my name is Mara Jade
'She is kinda pretty… no, concentrate Skywalker' thought Luke guiltily 'But I don't know what information I have that she would want'
"And what information would that be?" he called over the increasing wind and rain.
"How did the Emperor die?" came the response.
'What the!?' thought Luke. Whatever he was expecting, that was not it. His mind raced.
"Why do you want to know?" he asked the red haired woman. They stopped for a breather, as they studied each other cautiously.
Mara thought he looked cute, standing in the rain with his hair plastered to his head. She could sense his immense power and his Mastery of the Force. Mara was almost sorry that she had planned to kill him afterwards.
Luke was stuck by her potential. She was strong with the Force and Luke could tell, with proper training, she would be a good ally to have. And she was very good looking…..
Ahsoka woke up. She sat up and held her head. Why was it pounding like that? Ah yes, she had been hit by a dart. And Luke…
Gasping, Ahsoka looked around. She sighed with relief when she saw her Master's son, staring down a red haired woman. They began to fight again, their 'sabers glowing brightly. Luke's eyes glanced at her, full of concern. The woman's were filled with disgust and hate. Ahsoka sighed. 'Like Father, like Son' she thought with a sigh.
Luke repeated his question. Mara spat at him.
"I WAS AN ASSASSIN TO THE EMPEROR! HE WAS GOING TO TRAIN ME, BUT NEVER DID GET TO FINISH BECAUSE HE DIED. I WANT TO KNOW WHO KILLED HIM. I WANT MY REVENGE!"
"Well, Mara Jade, I can tell you this. The person who killed you precious MASTER WAS ANAKIN SKYWALKER, MY FATHER AND FORMERLY DARTH VADER! I TURNED HIM FROM THE DARK SIDE AND HE THREW YOUR MASTER DOWN A POWER CORE! DOES THAT ANSWER YOU QUESTION?!"
Mara stopped. She closed her eyes for a moment, and when they reopened…..anger completely filled them.
"You just signed your death warrant, Skywalker" Mara snarled "I WILL have my revenge"
The angry woman lunged at Luke, intent on killing. Ahsoka decided to step in. She sent Mara back with a Force push.
"GO, YOU KRIFFING SITH! BEFORE I COME OVER AND KILL YOU MY SELF!" the angry Togruta yelled. Mara decided to take her advice. She muttered something at Luke before jumping off the rock and disappeared into the night.
Luke rushed to Ahsoka's side. "You OK 'Soka? He asked worriedly. Ahsoka smiled and patted his arm reassuringly.
Ahsoka smirked "I've been in worse, Littl' Skyguy. I'll be fine." Luke grinned. He helped Ahsoka up. They jumped down and began to walk back to their apartments.
"By the way, Littl' Skyguy. What did that son of a Bantha say to you before she left?" Ahsoka asked. Luke blushed and smiled shyly.
"She said…." Luke gulped "She said I was cute for a Jedi"
Ahsoka shook her head. Inside she was grinning. She could tell Luke liked the girl. She shook her head again. 'Like Father, like Son indeed.' She thought with a smirk.
Well. Sorry about the long wait folks. I just received 3 assignments in the same week and everything has been crazy. Hope you enjoyed!
