Disclaimer: I don't own anyone from Star Wars Mr. Lucas does but anyone else is mine. But if Mr. Lucas wants to give Obi away I want him.
Chapter 5:
"Um well it was a bad time and you know it, I was angry and confused and she defied my master and he told me to" Anakin said fumbling with his words.
" You killed her didn't you?" Mara said her voice started to shake
Anakin shook his head, " I didn't kill her I was supposed to but I didn't there was something that just wouldn't let me"
" Yeah I sure" Mara said looking away from her father in law.
" Then what happened Anakin?" Padme asked.
Mara turned toward him and his head fell. Mara closed her eyes and turned to leave. Obi-wan grabbed her daughters' arm and brought her into his embrace she buried her face into his shoulder and hugged him.
" Mara it wasn't me" Anakin said softly " it was the emperor"
Mara looked at him she stepped away from her father and walked toward Anakin. He didn't know what to expect she felt anger swell in her. She went up to him and slapped his face as hard as her could " you lie" she said her teeth clenched. Everyone stood in amazement as she tried to do it again he grabbed her hand on the second strike obi-wan walked closer to watch his daughter.
Anakin looked at her " you want to know what happened?" she shook her head yes "then I will show you"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jade was now back in the limbo of the force. There were no cells in view so she just stood there alone until she saw the figure of darkness come toward her. " You are now mine Jade. Your family can not save you now that you have helped them the way you weren't supposed to" The figure said " yes -" " master" he finished for her as her revealed his faced to be Palpatine.
" I lost you a long time ago now I will have you forever" he said touching her faced with his wrinkly hand. She shrugged him off " now with your power, return me to my youth" She looked at his face " never" his face grew angry then the cells appeared " fine" he shoved her into a cell. "You will be a guide forever" he said as he walked off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anakin loosened his grip on Maras' hand, " I can show you I need Obi-wan to come with if he wants" he looked at Obi-wan with a warning look. Obi-wan, with a harsh look at Vader, gave his hand to his daughter. Then they all closed their eyes.
~~~`````````` 40 years ago``````````~~~~~~~
~~~ On Ithor~~~ watched by the three~~~~~
Jade Kenobi was sitting in her living room of her small house waiting for the inevitable, her daughter asleep in her bed, sleeping peacefully. Her saber lying by her leg in the chair her frail hand placed lightly near the button. She had been waiting for the imperials to come but her strength had left her. Only her daughter kept her from death and even that was waning. She was thin now, more then she ever was, her muscles and beauty were gone. What a sad site she was, almost as bad as her dear friend Padme Skywalker. She drifted off and on in sleep waiting. Then suddenly a cry came from the room next door, Jade got up and walked toward the room, saber in her hand. She opened the door to reveal two aliens weeping in the corner " what are you two doing here I told you to leave with Mara now" they nodded and left the room and headed toward the child room.
When a cold wind blew in making the three observers shiver. Jade shivered as well and turned toward the door she ran toward it and tried to lock the door but it was too late five storm troopers pushed through the door knocking her to the floor she went to grab her saber but it just out of reach.
Suddenly the dark figure of Anakins past walked up, he walked over to Jade and pulled her up " Jade I warn you for the last time join us or die" the voice was strong but concerned " I told you Ani I am not going back" "don't call me that I am no longer your little brother, I am either your comrade or your executer, it is your choice" " you will always be my little brother, Anakin Skywalker" a tear came down her rough face, which was now in view of the three, her scar which they had seen before now showed. It burned into her kindly face, but now with Vader she had her battle face on, which was ridged and wary.
" What sentament Jade" a figure said walking in the door " master" Vader said " kill her Vader or I will" " but she will be a greater ally then a dead Jedi" " she is not a Jedi or a sith, if she is to die now, she will be in Limbo" Palpatine walked toward the woman, he pushed Vader away " I will kill her then Vader you may go" Palpatine then let out a jolt of lightning which hit the woman seemingly frail body." then it is you bidding my master" Vader said as he walked away.
Palpatine continued to hit the woman with bolts of lighting, unforgiving. Jade tried to get up and fight but it was useless he was too strong and she was too weak. Smoke started to come from her clothes and skin, her electronic arm (replaced because of an event from the past) shorted out. Her groans of pain were now stronger then before, so loud that Mara started to cry.
The two sitters tried to stop her but soon enough they found them " kill the baby sitters then take the child" Palpatine ordered "Lord Vader take the child". Jades breathing was labored she was now laying on the floor, " she is done" he started to walk toward where the storm troopers who had just shot the aliens inside, Vader had just walked in. Palpatine walked out with the baby in his arms " Leave the mess Vader but take what you want I will meet you in Coracaunt" " no Mara…" Jade cried out in pain " say goodbye to your daughter Jade, hope to see you soon" the Emperor said walking to his ship and taking off. The storm troopers after Vader's dismal left as well. Vader knelt down next to the dying woman, she gasped for breath, Vader heart still evil, felt Pain that he though he would never feel again. " Anakin…. Take…care…. of…. Mara…. for …me" "I can't but the Emperor will and she will follow in my footsteps and of the emperors and she will never know of you and Obi-Wan" a strange feeling came over him at that moment " so…. be…it…little...brother" she grasped once more and blinked her eyes which to Vader seemed like a lifetime. " I am sorry my. …Sister" he touched her cheek; she placed her hand on his and tried to smile. " I... Hope … I … am …. Forgiven … like.... you'll…be" She looked at him once more then closed her eyes and she was gone. Vader got up and picked up her body and laid it on the chair he walked toward the table by the chair. There lay her book, that as a kid he was always dying to read, and her jewelry box; which she had all her treasures. He also picked up her two sabers. He took them to his craft then picked up Jade and took her to.
Then the three were transported to a forest on the planet were Vader made a crude pyre out of wood and cremated Jade. He took her ashes with him and placed them in the box with her other belongings. Later on Palpatine removes Jade ashes and uses them in a sith ritual to keep her in limbo and in his power. He used her deceit to keep her there making the force think she had something to fix. Jade Chekonie Jinn-Kenobi was trapped for no reason and the force she trusted betrayed her.
~~~~~~~~~ Back in the present~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mara and Obi-wan held each other, they were both weeping as they saw the pain in their loved one face. Anakin just stood there he didn't know what to say. His face was very sad and could not look at the two. Everyone else stared wondering what had happened the three did not speak. " What happened Mara?" Luke asked but all Mara did was hold on to her father and weep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jade sat in her cell just thinking of what to do next, then she remembered a song that her mother; father sang to her that she once sang to Mara and that she had taught to Padme to sing to her if she wanted. She started to hum it then started to sing the words, which were Ithorian "chedgs trifer untay fiye liuty", she sang her voice echoed hopefully carrying it around.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mara finally had the control to tell everyone but she still used her father as a crutches emotional and physically. Through tears she explained what had happened to her mother. There was silence; no one spoke the only thing anyone saw was the tears streaking the others face. Then a melody filled the room "chedgs trifer untay fiye liuty chedgs trifer untay fiye liuty uyt uyt rem teem ity iytr eds fa" it said then it got louder and the voice was more present. Qui-gon started to mouth it, as did Padme." What is it?" Leia asked then Han started to mouth it as well. " I know this song" Han said " my mother used to sing it to me" " but who is singing it?" Luke asked. Mara listened harder " its my mother" she looked at her grandfather " who come you know it?" she asked him " because Jades mother and myself used to sing it to her" Jade looked at Padme " she taught me to sing to my kids". While they were saying this, an image started to show in the corner of the room everyone stopped to notice it then it disappeared as soon as it appeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now through the thoughts of her family she felt her self being brought back to the light side of the force but it wasn't enough and Palpatines power brought her back. Either someone had not let everything go or there was still too much sadness and pain brought on or caused by her to let her free. She felt her self go to where her family was but then she lost it and she was back where she was in the dark, alone. She wept wanting to be free but her family had to do it now she could not or she would never be free.
