Part 2
Four Years Later
Cia frowned as she watched Lucian block a shot from a remote with his saber. He had been working with it for an hour and had been hit several times already and it didn't help very much that his concentration was waning.
"ARRG!" he cried out as the remote hit him in the leg. Cia began to laugh at him; he turned and glared at her. Stopping she glared back at him her green eyes daring him to try and hurt her. Lucian cried out again only this time it was from the despair of not being able to do something to the bother some five year old.
"Cia!" Xaphren called as he entered the room. She stood up quickly knowing from experience that if she hesitated she would be punished. Her Father smirked.
"Take a lesson from her Lucian… she moves quickly without hesitation," the sith knocked the young man to the ground with the force. Grunting Lucian tried to fight it and was slammed against the wall.
"Again you were to slow… why I took you on as an apprentice I will never know." Sighing he picked Cia up and carried her out of the room leaving Lucian to practice by himself.

Xaphren bent down to put the red head child on the floor. Cia looked around… the walls seemed to glow with their own light.
"Daddy?" Cia asked pulling on her cloak.
"What?" He snapped. Cia looked down, suddenly a force knocked her down and she glared up at her Father as she struggled up. She looked up at him and he laughed at her. "You learn quickly… unlike your mother." Cia was confused, Mother? Her father never talked about her Mother.
"Who was she?" Cia asked quickly in a hurry. Her Father looked down at her.
"All you need to know is she was killed by a Jedi." He said flatly and walked out of the room. Cia watched her father go. Looking around the room she saw a small device sitting in the corner.
Moving quickly over to it she bent down as it beeped a metallic monotone voice rang out; "20 seconds till detonation." Cia's eyes went wide as she reached out and tried to pull the cover off. Her hands wouldn't and couldn't comply being too small and week.
Cia bit her lip and frowned as the time went down to 15. Cia wished with all her mind concentrating on that device and pulled… than pulled again. The cover unlatched anf was knocked a few feet away. Reaching down she let the newfound sense of awareness guide her to a component which she then removed like she had the cover. The beeping noise and count down stopped. Just stopped.

Lucian smirked as he saw his Master return alone without the brat. Shutting down his Light Saber he bowed to the older man.
"Finally decided to give up on the child?" He said laughing. Xaphren knocked his apprentice down again. As Lucian struggled up the man was a haunting calm. Worse than empty space, Lucian decided glaring at his master who merely laughed.
"She is young and still has time to show her potential," Xaphren smirked.
"You can't feel her through the force though! She isn't force sensitive and won't ever be!" Lucian yelled throwing his saber across the room.
"You are wrong Lucian," Xaphren said sighing. "Cia is the daughter of Kalia Ja'Kialin… the ability the Ja'Kialin line is known for is the ability to hide them selves from any force sensitive person but still use the force themselves." Lucian gasped.
"A very valuable asset!" He whispered.
"Indeed. Now do you see why I keep her?"

An Hour later Xaphren returned to the room to find that Cia had completely taken the object apart and was sitting in a corner looking at a wall. He smirked and picked up the components.
"Come on Cia… time for Dinner." He said turning around and walking out the door. Cia got up quickly and followed trying to keep up but found her self lost in a maze of corridors that any normal five year old would have trouble ever finding the way out of.
