Another short bit I'm afraid. Please R+R. Comments and constructive critism
welcome.

He flicked through hundreds of year old manuscripts looking for a reference
to the rift. It was a natural phenomenon in their galaxy and occurred every
25 standard years though never in the same place. But when it did occur it
would occur in the same area three times within six weeks.
"Master!"
He looked up, angry at been disturbed.
"What is it?" he bit out.
"We have captured three more children in this vicinity, all potentially
strong in the force.," the young man stated.
He nodded and mused for a moment.
"How many did we lose to the sanctuary?" he asked.
The man looked a bit shook for a moment, fear creeping into his features.
"Three." the man answered solemnly.
"Three, he began, three, you are telling me for every force sensitive child
we get, we lose one to the sanctuary?"
"Yes, the man gulped, but that has only happened here."
"Get out, he snarled, get out before I kill you."
The man hurriedly left the room.
Sitting back down, he took out a data pad and accesses the Patrol officer's
database. Names and dates scrolled across the screen, narrowing down his
search he eventually pinpointed two names. One was recently deceased and the
other missing suspected dead. But that was not what interested him. He
accessed the file on the missing officer. Austen whole history came up before
him.
"At least I now know what your name is Austen and it would seem I now know
more about you then you ever will." he muttered.

"So you didn't even bother locking her door?" Han asked incredulity.
"No" answered Luke sheepishly.
"Luke you have done some stupid things but giving her an open invitation to
escape that's, that's beyond me." Han reprimanded.
"We didn't think she would be going anywhere soon and she didn't appear to
be in any condition to escape," Mara defended Luke.
Han continued shaking his head. He couldn't believe it. He went to start to
say something else when Leia put her hand on his arm and shook her head.
"Kyp's looking for her now, Luke said, and I have divided several other Jedi
into groups to look for her but." he paused.
"But what?" Leia asked.
"I think it would be better if we find her first."
****************************************************************
Kyp frowned as the light began to fade. He had expected it to be easier but
it was proving a lot harder. Twice he had lost her trail especially when she
started going in circles. But still he pushed on. What confused him even more
was every time he attempted to locate any non-force sensitive person, all he
got was Han.
He heard a slight noise to his left. Thumbing his Comlink on again, he said
quietly into it "Luke, I'm sending you, our coordinates now."
*************************************************************
Austen rested up for awhile; a slight bruise was beginning to come on her
ankle where she had fallen. She cursed her stupidity silently. She had
escaped but come with no supplies, compass or water.
"Don't tell me, five years of training have just washed into space," she
scolded herself.
She got back up and took in her position then walking over to a tree she
purposely broke some of it to make it look as if she had gone that way then
she took off in the opposite direction.
After gaining a bit more distance between her and the temple she once again
slowed to a walk. She had to conserve her energy. Austen knew she was
becoming dehydrated and her body was aching all over. A bout of dizziness
hit her and suddenly she knew she was going to get sick.
She clutched her side and tried to keep her hair out of the face, as she got
sick. She wiped at tears that were once again forming in her eyes.
Fear began to settle in her stomach and she got ready to flee again.
A rustling to the left of her alerted her but when she went to run, she
stumbled backwards over a root. A slightly tired Kyp came out of the trees.
"Do you know how many people have been looking for you?" he said when he saw
her.
"Come on, we're going back."
He was hoping she would come submissively but he doubted that she would.
Austen put her hand out to him and Kyp came over to help her up. As soon as
he bent down to help her up she reacted. She kicked him into the stomach and
he fell back a bit, winded. He had not expected her to do that.
"Yea, we are." Austen said sarcastically.
Kyp straightened up and moved towards her, he hadn't really wanted to use
force but certain situations called for it.
Austen brandished her weapon at him and Kyp went for his blaster.

Sorry, I know that was short again but I just wanted to put something up
before the weekend was out because I'm not going to get to during the week.
