Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars; George Lucas does. I just play with his characters and add my own.
Anakin leaped across the beach, but they were still so far away… Padmé pushed him away several times, but she wasn't strong enough. Ferrus figured it was all a game, but to Anakin it sure wasn't. He finally bridged the space between them, and pulled Ferrus away and pinned him against the other side of the tree all in one fluid motion. His icy blue blade roared to life and was at his neck before Ferrus could blink, "GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULD'NT KILL YOU!" He demanded.
All Ferrus could say was a whisper he was saying as loud as he could. If he even uttered a syllable, his vocal chords would contract, sending them directly into Anakin's blade.
"Ani! Let him speak!" Padmé said once she had gathered herself from what was all a blur. He glared herself from what was all a blur. Anakin glared in her direction and pulled back his blade a few centimeters. Ferrus took in a much needed breath; he had held it awhile; the adrenaline pumping through his veins making it seem that he'd gone longer without oxygen.
"I wouldn't do that if you were smarter than the average wookie." He said.
"Why not?" He snarled in return. Ferrus dug in his pocket and pulled it out for Anakin to see, "I know you stole the dataclip from Obi-wan. I found it in your jacket." He said with a smirk emerging on his lips. Anakin and Padmé remained silent, but he still kept his blade up still posed to strike at any moment.
"Yeah, and I don't know why you would steal, but I'm sure as Mustafar gonna find out!" He said.
"Now wait a minute, you just broke the code too. Don't think this is one sided." Anakin shot back.
"I don't love Padmé. I like spending time with her though. She's not an attachment. But whatever is on here that is worth stealing must get you in trouble. I'll get away with a smaller punishment. You won't and I-" He cut off and instantaneously pulled out his lightsaber. He got it above his face before Anakin pushed back to slit his throat. He pushed back against his blade, and pushed himself free. Ferrus knew his safety was in numbers, he sprinted to Obi-wan and Siri's rooms.
Aurra Sing laughed and handed the 500XP binoculars to Bane, "Look, they're self foiling! Skywalker's doing all the work for us! All we have to do is wait. They'll all be dead in four days!" She snarled.
"That's a long shot. But it's our job to make sure they're all dead. We'll get bonuses from the boss if we nail the Jedi as well… Now quit sitting around! Go get the rest of the gang and have them ready. We'll have a better bet at getting the target now then we would at dusk. Move it." He commanded.
Ferrus pounded on Obi-wan's door first before Anakin finally caught up to him. They clashed blades several times before Ferrus got to his master's door. He pounded on the door ferociously until Obi-wan opened the door. A lightsaber almost sliced his head off if it wasn't for his reflexes, "What in the blazes?" He asked. Then Siri opened the door and she as well had to dodge a few blades until she and Obi-wan both came to their senses. They both separated the boys after a few seconds of sparring.
"What the heck is wrong with you two?" Siri demanded; her green eyes blazing. Both Anakin and Ferrus explain their story, the loudest volume possible, at a hundred klicks an hour at the same time.
"ENOUGH!" Siri bellowed. The boys shut up immediately. Then they were able to hear a faint sobbing. Siri made a confused face, her rage fading away. A complete monster to a compassionate soul? Remarkable. Obi-wan thought to himself. She made her way past the two bedrooms that were on a walkway that was exposed to the outside, with a guard rail on the outside of the walkway. The yellow colored walls and the grey brick of the stairs complemented the theme of the house perfectly, just as Padmé designed it as a young girl. She had her head in her hands as she sobbed to herself at a courtyard table. Siri ran down the steps to comfort Padmé. Meanwhile Obi-wan turned to Anakin, "What's wrong with her?" He asked barely below a whisper as if to not upset Siri or Padmé.
"HE kissed her, and wouldn't back off when she tried to get away." Anakin snarled. Ferrus was about to argue back, but Siri cut him off right on cue, "SHUT IT!" She said before pulling a chair beside Padmé and sitting in it. Siri took her hand, "Is that true?" She asked gently. Padmé nodded vigorously and whispered something in Siri's ear because she was too ladylike to say it out loud. After all, she knew Siri would blurt it out for her.
"YOU KISSED HER AND …..?" Siri blurted right on cue.
"Yes, and he would've gotten away with it if Anakin hadn't had stopped him. He may have slightly overreacted, but it was only to save me." She said pathetically between tears. Anakin bit his teeth to keep from smirking, boy could his politician tell a lie. Ferrus' mouth dropped open, "That's a lie!" Ferrus protested.
"No, she's telling the truth!" Anakin shot back.
"Liar!" Ferrus said yet again. Then Typho came out running, "What's going on?" He asked looking from the shirtless young Jedi to the senator in tears.
"That's what we're trying to find out." Siri said annoyed due to her lack of sleep. Then they popped out of nowhere; Cad Bane, Aurra Sing, Embo, Sugi and two assassin droids.
"Too bad you won't live to find out." Aurra Sing sneered as they all surrounded them.
End of Chapter 10! Yes, sorry, the cursed cliffhanger. But if you don't like it; that means you're mad because you want to know what happens next… And since you like it that means you owe it to me to review. But enough of me being vague: PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW AND FAVORITE! They mean everything to me! And those who do; please keep it up. Please and thank you.
