Chapter 10: Vunnae Runs Off
Later that night, as the Masters and Obi-Wan were sleeping, Jasmine was awake, tossing and turning. She heard the distant beeping of a call from the control room. She got up and crossed the room. After she closed the door, she stopped and listened. Nothing. She continued down the hall. She pressed a button and a hologram flickered. It was Darth Sulvae.
"Ahh...Jasmine. We meet again," the hologram said, smiling.
"How'd you get the ships information?" Vunnae said, quietly.
"Never you mind. On to more important matters. Is Obi-Wan still sleeping well?" Sulvae asked.
"Leave him alone!" Vunnae snarled.
"Temper, temper," Sulvae said, sitting back in her chair.
Vunnae fumed.
"What do you want?" she demanded.
"I want a fight. I have sent my coordinates to a smaller craft. You will be able to find me. I'm the only human within a hundred miles. See you soon," Sulvae said, waving as she ended the call.
Vunnae sat for a while, she pulled her light saber out of its holster and held it in her hand, staring at it. She heard a small grunt from the sleeping quarters. She got up, and returned. She changed her clothes and threw on a dark blue robe. She returned her saber to its holster. She bent down and kissed Obi-Wan on the cheek.
"I love you," she whispered.
As she slipped out of the sleeping quarters, Damascus Golgotha stirred, and looked down at the bed beneath him. He then laid his head back onto his pillow for a second, before sitting straight up, and looking back under the bed.
"Jasmine?" he asked, out loud.
He heard the distant rumble of an engine. He jumped out of bed and ran to the deck. Vunnae had just taken off in a craft. He just stared after it.
"Qui-Gon! Obi-Wan! Wake up! She's gone!" he said, jostling the sleeping men.
"Who's gone?" Qui-Gon said, sitting up, sleepily.
"Jasmine. She's gone to find Sulvae!" Golgotha said, getting dressed.
Obi-Wan wasted no time. He hopped out of bed and ran to the control room. He started pressing buttons and finally was able to locate Vunnae's craft.
"She's on the other side of the planet. Or at least heading there!" Kenobi shouted, running back to the sleeping quarters.
He changed clothes in record time, and hopped into the next craft, before Jinn stopped him.
"You can't just go after her. You need to wait for orders," Jinn said.
"I am not going to sit here and wait to hear that she's dead. I'm going to find her!" Kenobi said, and he took off in a second craft.
"What's going on?" Golgotha asked, reaching Jinn.
"He's forgetting his Jedi training," Jinn said, shaking his head.
