Chapter 14- Critical State

The next morning, Cayden was in the kitchen making breakfast for him and Sasha. She was still sound asleep in her room, but was going to wake her soon. He stayed the night at her place only to keep an eye on her. Now that doesn't mean they didn't share a bed together, but he mainly kept an eye on her through the night and didn't sleep much.

As he was finishing, a thought went through his head. One day in the future, this could be normal for them. They would live together, share a bed, they would switch off on making meals, and be a couple with no sneaking around. That thought made Cayden smile and not notice his ill girlfriend had come into the kitchen.

"Good morning, handsome," a voice said as a pair of arms wrapped around his waist.

Cayden looked over his shoulder and his smile grew.

"Good morning, beautiful," he said as he leaned back to place a kiss on Sasha's forehead.

Sasha smiled up at him. She was still beautiful despite the fact she looked to be at death's door.

"What are you making?" she asked coming out from around him.

"Pancakes," Cayden said. "And now they are done. Take a seat."

Sasha nodded and took a seat at the table. Cayden brought the pancakes over to the table and they enjoyed their breakfast. Once they were done, Cayden cleaned up and Sasha went to the living room.

When he was done, he entered into the living room and found her reading. He joined her. For the next couple hours, they read through their books until Sasha had to go the bathroom. While Cayden read through the next couple paragraphs he heard the door open. He turned to see if Sasha was okay only to see her collapse forward.

"SASHA!" Cayden panicked as he leapt over the back of the couch and rushed to her side.

He lifted her into his arms and tried to wake her. No good. She was out. Cayden felt his panic rising when he realized that she may have just entered that critical state Bant mentioned. He lifted her bridal style into his arms and rushed from her apartment to the Halls of Healing.

He caught a few gasps and shocked faces as he rushed by many Jedi with her in his arms. By yesterday, every Jedi knew about Sasha's condition. And now that they were seeing her like this, they were probably fearing the worst like he was.

He got to the Halls of Healing in minutes. He was out of breath and he could feel his heart about ready to explode from his chest. Before he had the chance to call for Bant, two padawan healers and Bant rushed to him.

"Don't worry, Cayden," Bant said looking sad. "We are ready for this. She will be fine."

"But for how long?" Cayden asked as the padawans took Sasha from his arms and down the hall.

"48 hours at most," she said.

Cayden ran a hand through his hair, uneasy. He felt a hand on his shoulder. Bant gave him a reassuring smile, but he could see the hint of doubt in her hopeful eyes. She rushed after the padawans and a door slid shut. Cayden sank into a seat in the waiting area, his head in his hands.

When Bant finished hooking Sasha up to the monitors, she let out an uneasy breath. At that point, she shooed the padawans away from the room. She then entered into the waiting area to find Cayden staring off into space.

"Cayden?" she said catching his attention. "You can see her now."

Cayden nodded and headed into the room, immediately taking a seat beside the bed. Bant watched him before placing a call to Obi-wan. She waited until she heard a response on the other side.

"Obi-wan, it's me. Sasha has entered the critical state. You've got 48 hours and counting. Hurry my old friend."

She heard the other end go dead. She could sense her old friend's turmoil in the force. Bant frowned. This was going to be really tough on him if things don't end well. Now all she could do was wait for them to finish off that shadow and keep Sasha stable.
