Chapter 10: Family's True Faces
Anakin went into Anja's room and lay down in her bed. I saw from the door-way that Anja had laid out an outfit for Anakin to wear once he awoke. After about four minutes, Anja had asked me to play a game with her. It was the same game I'd been playing with Anakin and Duku. I was rather surprised to find my character, Zanter, after doing a search on the game system. Anja showed up in the game as a wolf-like creature known as a Luicane.
She said, "I'm Balto – and you?"
I replied, "I'm Zanter. Pleased to meet you."
Then, a familiar voice rang out: "Zanter, where have you been?"
"Ahh, Balto, good to see you," offered Lance (Duku's character).
Anja said, "Likewise, Lance [Duku]. You know Zanter?"
"Oh yeah, I had lots of fun with him and Jayce. By the way, Zanter [Obi-Won], why don't I see you on the battlefield any more?"
I stopped suddenly. I simply could not bring myself to go into detail, especially with Anja present. I started to sweat and felt dizzy, like I was going to pass out. I put my head down between my legs, and then felt a little better.
Anja and Anakin's mother, Meredith, asked me if I was all right.
"Sure. I'm fine. Just a little tired. Not a problem." But then I knew I had to get out of there. I needed help…this thing was way too big to handle by myself.
