All's fair in love and war
Chapter 11
Anakin's POV
He was worried. He couldn't find his master anywhere. Maybe it was time he informed the council that obi wan was missing. Ahsoka didn't think so.
"Master, calm down. He'll turn up."
"If he was ok, he would've answered his comm."
"What do you think happened to him?"
"I think he got a lead on the duchess, tried to find her on his own, and got caught."
"Then call master Luminara. She can help us, and she won't tell the council."
"She's also good with medicine, something were gonna need if obi wan or Satine is injured."
"Exactly. I'll go call her."
Ahsoka left the room to call master Luminara. When she told Luminara what happened, she simply said, "I'll be there in two days."
"Ok, thank you master Unduli."
"Anytime, ahsoka."
Satine's POV
She awoke the next morning to find obi wan awake, pacing their cell.
"Obi?"
He didn't answer.
"Obi….?"
No answer.
"OBI-WAN JAMES KENOBI!
He came out of his trance with a start. He rushed over to her.
"what is it? What's wrong? Does your head hurt again? Here, let me….."
"I'm fine, obi wan."
"Then what's wrong? Why did you yell for me?"
"What were you doing?"
"You can't answer my question with a question, my love."
"Obi wan…."
"Alright. I was trying to find a way out, but we're locked up pretty well."
"I know."
He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his chest. She breathed in, expecting to inhale the scent that was so essentially him. But she smelled only blood. It triggered something in her head, and she saw another memory, but she remembered this one. It was the night she'd had to run away with obi wan…..
It was dark. She hoped to get some sleep tonight, to put the memories of her dead twin behind her. Nalia. She didn't quite remember how she died, or where her parents had buried her, she only remembered that Nalia had been force sensitive. She usually stayed up all night, trying to remember. She remembered what Nalia looked like. She was rounder than Satine, with dark brown hair and kinda small green eyes. They were practically opposites, and their mother liked her best. It was no wonder, really. Satine was the fighter, the one who bowed to no one but their father. Nalia was respectful and listened to everyone. She was such a… then she heard a scream. She stood up quickly, not really caring she was in a pair of shorts and a tanktop that was too small, and went to investigate.
She found qui gon outside Galileia's room.
"What's going on?"
"Princess, you should go back to sleep. You really don't want to see this." The one called obi wan looked sympathetic.
"Why? What's in there?"
"The bounty hunters looking for you found your sister instead."
"Is she….?"
He nodded, and she let out a wail of anguish.
"Guards! Let me in there. NOW!"
They moved aside quickly, not wanting to get in her way. When she walked in, she gasped. There on the floor, was her sister. Her throat was slit, and there was blood everywhere. The second she saw this, something hit her in shoulder, and agonizing pain shot through it.
"Obi wan! Get her out of here now!" was the last thing she heard before everything went black.
