Chapter 12
The Oceans Call
"I cannot tell you who my master is," Voola said. "If I do, I will surely never be able to complete my training."
"Tell us now, or we will have to send you to the Jedi counsel immediatly," Obi-Wan said coldlly, knowing that the Jedi Council showed no mercy towards those who opposed the Jedi.
"I can't," Voola answered again.
"I have another question for you before we send you to the council, young one," Adi suddenly asked. "How did this window break, yet you enter from the other side of the room?"
"The same thing thats going to bring me escape!" Voola said, loudly and threw the decoy at Obi-Wan.
She then ran across the room, jumped, and swung her black lightsaber at Adi. Adi parried the blow and let loose one of her own. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan caught the decoy and placed her behind his back for protection.
Adi and Voola continued to battle, Adi slowly backing Voola up towards the window. When they reached the window Voola jumped on the small windowseat and broke the reast of the window wither her foot, continuing to block Adi's swings. Quickly after the window was completely broken, a small speeder appeared with a cloaked figure driving. The top of the speeder slid down and the cloak figure started to scream at Voola.
"Quickly, apprentice! Jump!" It yelled, in a obviously feminine voice.
Voola replied by doing a backflip and landing in the passengers seat. The cover qiuckly slid down and the speeder sped off into the horizon. The guards quickly ran to the window and fired their blasters, but the speeder was to far away, and the shields where to powerful to begin with.
"We let her escape!" Obi-Wan announced furiously. -"At least no one was hurt," Adi said calmly, sheathing her saber. "I'll report this to the Queen, security will be increased for her niece."
"What can I do, Adi?" Obi-Wan asked, trying not to let her do all the work.
"You can spend more time reasoning with your Padawan, Obi-Wan," Adi said, stopping and turning to him. "You can help him out of this mess."
"But... I don't want you to do everything, Adi," Obi-Wan pointed out. "Your only here for back-up, this originaly wasnt your mission to deal with."
"But we can't just leave him like this," Adi replied. "Your the only one who can get through to him. Believe me when I say there is not many other feelings that feel as bad as loosing your Padawan."
With that said and done, Adi left the room while Janaka and her guards followed. Obi-Wan let out a sigh and followed them out of the room and headed a little down the hall to sit with Anakin.
Obi-Wan walked into the room to see Anakin sitting in front of the large window that led to the balcony. Obi-Wan remembered that he had sealed the window to keep Anakin from doing anything dangerous like he had done before. Anakin sat with the sheets wrapped around his body, just silently staring out the window and into the ocean.
"Anakin...," Obi-Wan called, but Anakin gave no sign of hearing this.
Obi-Wan slowly walked around the bed and up to the silent boy, still silent. He then joined Anakin, sitting next to him and looking at Anakin's face. After no response or sign of noticing his Master, Obi-Wan then looked out the window also.
The sky was a mix of pink, gold, and purple. The ocean waves rolled in and out, exactly how they were doing since the planet existed, and would probably conitnue to do so after he died.
"It's calling me, Master," Anakin said, not changing his focus, but breaking the silence.
"What?" Obi-Wan asked. "Explain it to me, Anakin."
"It's telling me to join it, Master," Anakin replied. "It tells me that I can find peace with it."
"Who is 'it'?" Obi-Wan asked.
"The water, Master," Anakin said. "She wants me to join her."
"How do you know, Anakin," was the next question. "Did the water tell you?"
"No, master," Anakin answered. "The Force did."
Silence filled the room again. Obi-Wan scooted over closer to Anakin, and put an arm around his back.
"Do you want to join it?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Yes," Anakin replied, lowering his head. "Maybe she can heal my dreams."
"Dreams will pass in time, Anakin," Obi-Wan said forecfully. "You must understand!"
"How do you know, Master?" Anakin said, raising his head and giving his Master a dark look.
"I would know Anakin," Obi-Wan said sternly. "I have been in your shoes not to long ago."
"You don't have to lie to me, Master," Anakin told him, and turned his head to face the ocean again. "Please... just let me join her."
"Qui-Gon...," Obi-Wan whispered. -"What?" Anakin said, turning his head to Obi-Wan. "What of him, Master?"
"My nightmares," Obi-Wan replied. "They came when Qui-Gon died."
Anakin then shamefully looked down again. Why didn't he guess? Of course Obi-Wan would have suffered from Qui-Gon's death! Qui-Gon was like his father... like Obi-Wan was to him...
Anakin then raised his head again, trying to find a way to
apologize to his Master... but the words never formed. Instead he let loose
of his blanket and wrapped his arms around his Master, giving his a appoligetic
hug. Obi-Wan returned it to his 'son' and for a while, everything seemed to
be better...
