Hello everyone! :) :) Back with chapter 10! I'm so glad that so many of you reviewed for the last chapter, it made me feel SO EXCITED! :) Okay, so I know that I said this in the beginning of the story, but I'm considering of making another book out of the Anakin +Cadena books. Do you guys think I should continue? I already asked a couple friends, (loveanisoka and SJ Skywalker, thanks so much for the support! Luv ya guys!) and they were pretty positive about it, but what about the rest of you? It's just like the last time, I only bring in the majority of the votes. Personally, I would like to write on more about Cadena's adventures with Anakin and I sort of already cranked up the first two chapters. :) But again, it's your choice. :) On that note, read on!

Chapter 10.

Cadena—

"Cadena, wake up. It's morning." I heard Jim's voice filter in through my ears and to my brain and allowed myself to slip back into consciousness.

I blinked my eyes open and sat up, looking around. Jim was sitting across from me, the fire between us which was stamped out.

My eyes widened as I took in my surroundings and quickly stood up. "I know this place…" I whispered and Jim raised an eyebrow. "Really? What is it?" He asks. I became more excited as I walked around and my heart felt as though it was going to begin flying.

"We're on Felucia." I said, trying hard to contain my excitement. "I should have known, but it was dark when we came here…" Jim smiled and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Alright, then, Miss Cadena, please tell me why it is important that we have landed on Felucia." He says teasingly and I grinned.

"Master Skywalker has told me a lot about this place…once, he, Obi-wan and Ahsoka landed down here and helped a village nearby to fend themselves from pirates." I said, jumping up and down.

Jim whistled and says, "I'm impressed." I let out a laugh and said, "If we find that village, then we might be able to receive help!"

Jim nodded and we quickly put together our packs and set off. "We should be looking for smoke, or something." I said, climbing up some plants.

"Careful!" Jim yells and I stuck my tongue out at him. "That's sweet, Jim, but I'm rather experienced in—whoa!"

I lost my footing and fell to the ground. Jim sighed and helped me stand. "You were saying?" He asks and I managed to smile sheepishly at him.

We walked on a bit more until we heard a low growling noise.

"Please tell me that's just your stomach." I hissed to Jim and he shook his head, his hand creeping towards the knife that was in his belt. I took out my gun and we stood back to back, waiting for the source of the noise to come out.

For a minute, everything was silent.

I let out a tiny breath and made a move to put my weapon away just as a rancor came, bursting from the trees.

"What is that?" Jim asks, his eyes wide. "Rancor!" I shouted and dove out of the way as it barreled towards us. "A what?" Jim says, staring at the beast.

"It's a rancor! They were brought here to Felucia once and…blast, get down!" I yelled and we ducked again as another rancor ran through.

"They're good creatures, I suppose, but don't disturb them…or they'll get in your way…and it won't be pretty after that." I hissed and Jim nodded frantically, tucking away his knife.

I put the gun back in my pack and we skittered out of the way of the path of rancors that were trudging past us.

"Well…I'd hate to get on the bad side of these guys." Jim whispers and I rolled my eyes. "Come on, Jim." I said and we walked on.

For a couple minutes, we both walked with an uncomfortable silence until Jim asks, "What's going to happen when you…get back to the Temple?" A lump lodged itself into my throat and I forced myself to not show any emotion, even though it was difficult.

"I don't know…" I whispered. "We'll just forget about all this, I guess." Jim narrowed his eyes at me and then he stopped. "What do you mean, 'forget about all this'?" He asks quietly. I bit my lip and mumbled, "Jim, I can't form any attachments."

Jim made an exasperated sigh and says, "Oh, I get it. The Jedi Code comes first. You need to stay loyal to that, not to your friends." I stretched out my hands. "Jim, the Jedi Code…it's like a rulebook to my family! The Temple is my home and it's all I've ever known! You can't expect me to just…throw it out like that!"

Jim glared at me and said, "Whatever, okay, Cadena? Forget I said anything. Besides, you wanted me to forget this too, right?"

He stormed off in front of me and I chewed on the insides of my cheek as I ran up to him. "Jim, look, I get how you feel…" I started and Jim turned around at me, pain in his eyes. "Jim, I'm sorry…but I really can't break the Code…" I said quietly and Jim sighed. "I get it, Cadena. I hate it, but I…can understand. At least for now." He murmured and we continued to venture further without speaking.

"Let's camp out here." I said sullenly and we dropped our packs as night fell upon us.

I started up a quick fire and Jim sat across from me, curling into a ball. "I'll take first watch." I offered and Jim nodded.

I sighed and turned back around, glancing up at the sky.

'I'll be coming home soon, Anakin.' I think sadly to myself. 'I will.'

Jim woke up a couple hours later and rubbed his eyes wearily. "I'll be taking watch now." He says quietly and I nodded, resting my head on a pack and going quickly to sleep. A different vision awaited me that night.

"Cadena?"

I stopped short and slowly turned around to face Anakin, who was standing in front of me in a ghostly form.

"Master? Can you hear me?" I whispered. Anakin nodded slowly. "Where are you?" Anakin asks and I bit my lip. "I'm on Felucia. We're trying to find a village to send communications to you but…yeah, we're still searching."

Anakin grinned and says, "We'll be coming for you!"

I shook my head and his smile melted off. "What's wrong?" He asks me worriedly. I looked up at him and said, "Master, don't come for me. Not…now."

Anakin's eyes widened and he says, "Cadena, you don't understand…I need to get you back now." I shook my head again. "Master, you're always there for me. Let me be able to find my way back home by myself…or at least let me be able to send the communications and find the village by myself. I can't depend on you all the time."

"Wait, what?" Anakin asks, bewildered. "Cadena…you've known me for…how long now? Two months? You don't need to be ashamed to lean on a shoulder once in a while!" I chewed on the inside of my cheek thoughtfully and replied, "Master…I can take care of myself. I'll see you soon." I said and closed my eyes, wishing for the vision to vanish.

"Cadena, no! Wait!" Anakin yelled but he was gone.

I woke up, my heart feeling like lead and choked back a sob. It felt hard to say those words to Anakin, and his pained face kept flashing through my head…

"Cadena? Are you alright?" Jim asks me, and I felt a warm hand patting my back. I swallowed and looked up at him, forcing for a smile. "Anakin knows that we're on Felucia, at least." I said quietly and Jim nodded, unsure of what to say next.

I quickly put together my pack and waited for Jim to do the same.

"Do we keep walking?" Jim asks in a bored voice and I nodded listlessly.

"Maybe we'll be lucky today." I said cheerfully and Jim raised an eyebrow. He rolled his eyes at me but we ventured forward.

"So…what do you like to do in your spare time?" I asked randomly and Jim shrugged. "I don't really know…I mean, most of my life has been imagining stupid things and fending off pirates, so…I don't often think about it. What about you?" He asks.

I tilted my head and smiled. "Anakin teaches me a couple tricks with machine parts, usually. It's fun." I said. Jim nodded and flashed me his familiar smirk. "So you're a master hacker now?" He asks. I grinned and shoved him playfully.

"Oh, please. I was a master hacker even before Anakin taught me." I replied. "Hm…alright." Jim says, throwing his head back laughing and I rolled my eyes at him.

Then, Jim stopped. He narrowed his eyes into the horizon and says quietly, "I see smoke." I exchanged excited looks with him and we ran off.

•◊•

"Someone, please, help us!" We heard cries coming up and Jim and I skidded to a quick stop.

The village we found was in flames, and we could see Felucian natives scrambling about, panicking and not doing a single blasted thing.

I mentally slapped myself and barked at Jim, "Get some dirt or water, put the fire out!" Jim nodded and asks, "What about you?"

I sighed and said, "I'll try to evacuate any trapped villagers."

Jim bit his lip and says, "Be careful, Cadena." I grinned and replied, "You watch yourself." Almost as soon as those words escaped my lips, I heard someone screaming inside a building and darted towards it.

"Help me!" A female voice yelled inside the hut and I dove in, shading my eyes to protect them from the smoke and the flames. I searched the structure and spotted a Felucian native huddled in the corner, screaming hysterically as more parts of the building fell apart in flames.

"Relax! I'll get you!" I shouted and closed my eyes, calling on the Force. I slowly pushed aside some flaming beams and gestured for the woman to run towards me. She nodded frightfully and I managed to get her out the door.

As soon as she was out, I looked around for more villagers and found a group of children that were hiding in another hut.

"Don't these people move?" I muttered under my breath but ran at the building.

"Come here, guys." I said in a calming voice that I had heard Master Kenobi use almost all the time. "That's it, just focus on walking slowly towards me."

I gently pushed out some flames out of the way and they walked towards me, timidly but all the same in a slow manner, just as I had told them.

At last, all of the kids were out and I sighed in relief.

"Jim, how are you doing?" I called over to him. "We're…just—hold steady!—fine!" Jim shouts and I scanned the village one last time.

I spotted a shadow of another villager trapped in a hut and coughed into my arm as smoke invaded me. "Come out, quickly!" I screamed but the villager wouldn't budge. I walked towards him, and his eyes were wide and scared.

"Just walk slowly, alright?" I asked, clearing a path for the native. "Don't think about anything else."

Suddenly, the villager began screaming and thrashing around, and I yelled, "Don't panic! It'll only make it worse!"

But the villager was already long gone. He began shouting random things and his hand whacked me across the room. I cried out in pain but stood up, shouting, "Come on! If you listen, you can be saved!"

"No! All is lost!" The villager yelled and before I even could process what was going on, he had pushed me to the ground again.

I screamed as flames touched my back and tried to stand up, getting the fire off.

I tried to breathe in steadily, but it was no use. I crumpled to the floor and closed my eyes.

'I'm so sorry, Master…I'm so, so, sorry…' I thought and all was dark.

A/N: DUN DUN DUN! Alright, peoples, so don't forget to write in your review-another book, or no book?

Cadena: *crosses fingers* Please say another book...please?

Anakin: Why? Is it because you still get to hang out with Jim? *scowls*

Cadena: Shut up! You're the one with the most secret admirers! (*wink, wink*)

Anakin: *blushes* I still can't believe that you did that, Caroline...

Me: STOP CALLING ME BY MY FIRST NAME!
Anakin: You were the one who put it up in the first place!

Me: *crosses arms* I hate logic. -_-

Cadena: And yet, you like Star Trek, and you like Spock.

Me: Yeah, I like Spock's character...but I don't literally LIKE LIKE him...nah, I'm not into green blooded homogoblins. ;)

Cadena: -_- Now I know you must REALLY be going into Trekky mode, because you're quoting Bones.

Me: For those of you who have no idea what I'm saying, ignore me. heh. :)

Anakin: And for those of you who actually do understand Caroline...just ignore her, anyways. -_-

Me: SHUT UP!

Anakin: Make me.

Me: Do the review notice.

Anakin: NOOOOOOO! Haven't you tortured me enough?

Me: *smiles evilly* No, I have not...trust me, you don't want to see my Dark Side.

Anakin: Wait, THIS wasn't your Dark Side?

Me: *nods, creepy smile still pasted on face.*

Cadena: You are so screwed, Mater. *giggles*

Anakin: Please review for Caroline, aka the Katierosefun, and give feedback, just no hater comments...Stop looking at me like that, Caroline.

Me: Heeheeheeehee...

Anakin: Oh, god...she has that weird look again...bye everyone!
