Chapter 21: Deception

Artie frantically started to beep as soon as he saw Luke and Artoo making their way towards the group of him, Threepio and Leia.

"Master Luke, Artie says that a odd ship took mistress Caylee and master Kyler away." Threepio immediately said. "And that is all he has been saying over and over."

"It's ok Threepio." Luke said placing a hand on the golden droid's shoulder. "You did good Artie for alerting us."

The astrodroid stopped beeping and remained calm.

"Any luck so far, Leia?" Luke asked turning to his sister.

"No," Leia said shaking her head softly. "But all the reports haven't been received yet."

Luke sighed. There was still a glimmer of hope.

"You did well Trekk," Sidi said.

"Thank you Master," Trekk said as he stood up from his kneeling position.

"But you didn't do well enough,"

"What do you mean Master?" he asked confused. "I brought you the Skywalker girl."

"But you allowed her father and grandfather to discover that she and the Senator's son were missing," Sidi said as they walked back towards Sidi's elaborate office. "That is why you are being replaced."

"Replac…"

But Trekk couldn't finish before a crimson lightsaber from the shadows cleanly sliced through him.

"Ahh Lady Murete, right on time." Sidi said as a young woman emerged from the shadows.

Her curly red hair cascaded around her shoulders as she knelt then stood back up.

"Is it time yes Master?" she asked.

"Soon. Very soon."

Kyler looked up as the cell door opened as a young man about his height walked in.

"So you are the one who my sister loves," the young man said.

"Let me guess," Kyler said. "You are Cray."

"Good guess."

"Now I bet that you are going to tell me that all the Jedi Knights are going to be killed and that the Sith will reign for the rest of time," Kyler said in a smart ass tone of voice.

"Correct again," Cray said getting directly in his face. "But you forgot one thing."

"What's that?"

"Your precious girlfriend will watch you die, right before I kill her."

Kyler didn't say anything. He knew that it would probably be better if he didn't.

"Smart to keep your mouth closed," Cray said as he stood up and left the cell.

Kyler didn't know how to think or even feel. Were he and Caylee really going to be killed by the hands of the sith?

He really wished that he knew if Caylee was all right or not.

Caylee hit the floor with a thud! For a brief second she lay against the cool of the tiled floor. It felt good against her bruised and swollen face.

But just as soon as she was thrown to the floor, she felt herself being picked right back up and held up by the arms. She wanted to struggle and fight back, but found that she was too weak to do so.

"It's alright," an eerily familiar voice said. "Let her go and leave us."

Caylee slowly looked up at the person whose voice she had just heard as the two Sith who had been holding her, let her stand on her own.

Shrouded beneath a Jedi robe was a face that had haunted her dreams for as long as she could remember.

"Palpatine," she softly whispered.

"No, but close," Sidi said. "I am Darth Sidi. Palpatine was my father."

Sidi pushed back his hood to reveal a similar, yet younger face and a head full of hair. But it was the eyes that were the scariest similarity. They were the same eyes that haunted Caylee.

"Why do you want me?" she softly asked.

"You of all people should know that," Sidi said as he stood up and walked towards her. "Are you not the child of light?"

Caylee slowly nodded yes.

"That is why you must die," he said looking her directly in the eyes.

"My father and grandfather will never allow that to happen," Caylee said pretending to still not remember everything about her past.

"I'm so sure, young one," he evilly said. "Oh they will have their chance, but let me assure you they will fail."

Caylee watched as Sidi walked back to his so called throne and sat down.

"How are you so certain that they will fail?" she asked.

"Because young one," Sidi said, motioning to the side as Lady Murete stepped out of the shadows. "It will be your clone that will be your undoing."
