"Stop!" Luke shouted.
Kyp turned round slightly, relieved to see Luke, Mara, Leia and Han. (Hold on
a minute he thought) as it slowly dawned on him (Han' not there.)
"It doesn't have to be this way," Luke tried.
But Austen stood her ground.
"You want to come back with us,"
Austen immediately shook her head, she recognised mind control when she heard
it.
"I kind a like it where I am now," she replied.
Luke sighed slowly," It's your choice" and they turned as if to go. Kyp
looked at them confused before he realised what they were doing and went to
follow them.
Austen stared at them and snorted. She wasn't that stupid she knew that they
weren't just going to let her go. An uncomfortable feeling settled in her
stomach and she felt the hairs on her neck prick with fear. Suddenly she
heard a blaster shot but before she had a chance to react. Darkness claimed
her.
A disgruntled Han came out from behind the trees.
"I really feel bad for doing that to a kid."
Kyp looked at him shocked." A kid! That's no kid, far too devious for that."
Kyps pride had been wounded after he had been so easily tricked by her. He
was still nursing his injury from where she had kicked him.
"I guess you don't want to carry her back," Luke stated mildly.
********************************************************
Distantly Austen could here voices.
"I didn't think it would knock her out for three days," one voice protested.
A mechanical sounding on answered, " She obviously has been through a lot of
shock lately, that could have caused it. But it doesn't exactly matter now,
she's waking and Master Skywalker asked me to contact him whenever she woke."
(Master Skywalker? Dashan, they obviously were Jedi)
Deciding to get the worst over with, she forced her self to open her eyes.
Another medical droid buzzed nervously around. (No wonder, she thought smugly
, after what I did to the last one.)
"Hello", a brown haired woman, stated pleasantly.
Austen refused to answer her, she had seen people been tricked into revealing
everything when they thought the person was trying to help. She should know.
So she waited for the questioning to begin.
Leia frowned, she couldn't understand the feeling of fear that was coming from
the girl or that wild hunted look she had about her.
"We are not going to hurt you?" Leia sat down near the cot, careful not to
intimate her.
Austen looked at her sceptically.
"Were Jedi, why would we?"
"Exactly!" Austen all but screamed. Fear and unrestrained anger seeped into
her voice.
Leia was surprised at her outburst, she was afraid of them because they were
Jedi that she couldn't understand.
"Why?" Leia asked.
Austen looked at her pain and hurt filling her eyes.
"You know why?"
Leia was unsure of how to proceed, this girl seemed deeply disturbed and she
felt she couldn't reach out to her. She told the girl if she needed to talk
to someone to come to her but at this the girl only barked out a cold
humourless laugh.
Austen heard the door click when Leia walked out. At least they knew how to
lock the door this time.
"Well?" Luke asked when she had come out.
Leia shook her head, "I don't know, I feel something but I just don't know
what."
Luke nodded. Kyp knows what you mean.
****************************************************************
He had called a meeting of his best Jedi. Each one he had chosen carefully,
he was determine to get his prey and this one was the most unique he had ever
gone after.
"Master Sakhalin, why have you called us here?" a voice demanded.
Sakhalin recognised it has one of his most talented students in this sector.
"Our new prey as you know momentarily escaped us. But she will not for long.
The rift is opening again soon and I have chosen you to be the ones that will
hunt her."
There was a silent agreement through the room. So he continued on.
"You are to immobilise her but after that is left up to me, I want her left
alive."
******************************************************************
Kyp painfully entered the wing where Austen was being kept, trying to control
the simmering anger that burned with in him.
He had been trying to help whether or not she had viewed it that way. Now
Master Skywalker had asked to see him.
"Yes Master? " He asked.
Luke looked at him, uncertain, he felt embarrassed that he had to ask his
student this.
"I gather you sensed something when you were searching for her?" Luke asked.
Kyp nodded and then answered, "Yea, Master, I think that she is force
sensitive."
Luke coloured slightly, he had not sensed that but now that he tried he found
that he could pick it up very clearly.
"Thank you Kyp, this may make things a lot easier or a lot harder."

Part 6
Austen mentally accessed Mara's weak and strong points when Mara entered the
room. Years of training told her she was in a bad situation with a naught
percentage chance of survival. But the way she saw it was that a quick death
was more preferable to a prolonged one.
Mara ran her hand through her hair, she recognised the look on her face, and
she too had it years ago. The girl was determined.
"Unless Patrol officer is your first name, I'd like to know what is?" Mara
said.
Austen decided to play along and humour Mara for a while." It might as well
be since I rarely get called Therese anymore."
Mara smiled sadly, "Why do you hate us so much, she asked, I knew why I
hated the Jedi so much, so I would like to know why you do."
Austen looked momentarily surprised but quickly buried it.
"Do you really want to know?" she asked in a tone that didn't require an
answer.
"Where I come from, I've watched your kind kill and get away with it because
of their power. People are so afraid of them that they will do anything to
survive." Austen couldn't control the amount of anger that seeped into her
words.
"They can do anything because there is no one to challenge them and lately
it has got worse. They go around taking children to train to be like them."
A cold feeling settled in Mara, somehow events must have turned out
differently in her world then it did here.
That appeared to be all she was going to say so Mara decided to press on.
"While you were asleep, you murmured the words Bronte and sanctuary, do you
want to tell me what that means?"
Austen's eyes widened in disbelief. Emotion washed over her. Her eyes became
sprinkled with tears.
"Bronte,Charles Bronte, she continued speaking quietly, was my partner, he was killed by a
Jedi in front of me and I was powerless to do nothing."
"You couldn't have known." Mara said, attempting to comfort her.
"Couldn't I? If it were not for me, he would still be alive. I went down the
alley to confront them and I didn't back away. It was me who should have been
killed."
Tears were stinging Austens eyes, she was angry with herself. Angry that she
had broken down but she had realised that here she was alone.
"The sanctuary was exactly what it was called, a place where those hunted
could be protected. Children who were sensitive were hidden there from the
Jedi and looked after by the descendants. Bronte and I often helped those
who were hunted get to the sanctuary but you couldn't save everyone."
Austen looked away from Mara's gaze and studied the objects in the room.
"I want to sleep now," She said firmly.
The medical droid buzzed back into the room and shooed Mara out.
Inside Austen was fuming, she knew she was stupid to trust her and she felt
even more stupid when she seen an old model listening device.
**************************************************************
"You heard all that Skywalker," Mara asked.
"Yea, I did Jadewalker."
Mara noticed that Kyp and Luke were looking very grim.
"Han and Leia needed to go sort out something's," Luke stated.
"So why don't you tell me what's wrong?" Mara challenged.
"She appears to be force sensitive."
Mara gasped sharply.
"How do we tell her she may be something she loathes?" Kyp queried.
