Chapter 6


In Master Veda's quarters everything was quiet and still. Well except for a slight movement something from the guest room where Obi-Wan Kenobi was sleeping.

It had been two weeks since he had returned to the temple and Obi-wan was staying with Master Veda for the time being.

Obi-Wan thrashed in his sleep. He was having another nightmare. His eyes snapped open and he sat up in bed gasping for air. He looked around the dark room. He had been having nightmares ever night since he had returned.
Gods what's wrong with me? He got up from the bed and walked out into the common area. He then made his way to the balcony.

The cold night air hit him and caused him to shiver. Even though the drug Xenos65 was out of his system he still saw the images and had been seeing images of the dark warrior with the green blade. He shivered again but it wasn't due to the cold.

Obi-Wan didn't even notice the figure standing behind him.

"Your suppose to be asleep." Obi-Wan turned and saw Master Veda.

"I couldn't sleep." Obi-Wan said quietly.

"Nightmares?" Obi-Wan looked over at her.

"How did you know?" She shrugged.

"You were broadcasting." She was silent for a moment then asked, "You want to talk about it?" Obi-Wan shook his head. Nicia nodded then put her hand on his shoulder. " Come on lets go inside before you catch a cold." She said directing him into the apartment.


In Geometry class the next morning Amaele looked around but did not see Obi-Wan in the class. She looked over at Drell who had his normal seat in the back row. This was one of the only classes that the three friends had together. Amaele got out a sheet of paper, wrote down a message, waited for Master Kama to turn her back and write something on the board. Then threw a paper ball at Drell. The ball knocked Drell in the head and then fell to the floor. He reached down and picked it up.

I'm worried about Obi-Wan it said when he read it. Drell looked over at Amaele. Then wrote something down and threw the note back to her. Amaele caught it easily. The teacher turned around and looked at the class. Amaele quickly turned forward in her seat and hid the note. Once the Teacher turned back to the board Amaele took out the note and read it. Yeah me too Amaele quickly wrote something down and then threw it back to Drell. We should go see him. We could watch the sunset like we used to when we were little Drell looked up at Amaele and nodded. The bell rang and the students stood and began to make their way to the door.

"Don't forget to do problem 1-45 for homework and Amaele and Drell I'll see you at the end of classes for detention

Amaele and Drell left Master Kama's room after severing their detention for passing motes. The two friends went to their separate quarters did that evenings homework and ate. They had agreed to meet outside the gardens then head to Master Veda's quarters.

They came to the door of Master Veda's quarters. Amaele knocked on the door. There was no answer. She waited then knocked again.
She heard the sound of footsteps on the other side. The door opened and Obi-Wan stood in the doorway. His hair was messed up and there were circles under his eyes.

"Hey Kenobi." Drell said cheerfully. Obi-wan motioned for them to come in.

"You feeling okay Obi?" Amaele asked the concern very noticeable. Obi-Wan rubbed his eyes.

"Yeah just kinda tired. Haven't had much sleep lately." Obi-Wan said taking a seat on the couch.

"You want us to leave so you can get some rest?" Drell asked the worry now starting to show in his eyes.

"No. I kinda don't want to be alone."

"Where is Master Veda?" Amaele asked sitting down next to him.

"With the council most likely talking about what to do with Me." he said in defeat. He sounded so miserable Drell thought to himself how could Master Jinn do this to him? Drell looked out the balcony window. The sun was beginning to set.

"Hey you guys want to watch the sun set for old times sack?" Obi-Wan looked over at the balcony.

"Sure why not?" Amaele helped obi-Wan to his feet and the three friends went out to the balcony. The sun was slowly setting. As the glowing yellow ball drifted behind the skyscrapers Amaele got out a camera that she had in her pocket. Drell gave her a questioning look.

"Why did you bring your camera?" he asked.

"Because..." Amaele said focusing it on the setting sun. " When we were younger we would always watch the sun set but now we are always busy or something." She pressed the button. Obi-wan heard a faint click. "Now I have the sun set with me every where I go." Amaele finished with a smile. Drell shook his head.

"You are one in a million girl." He said with a chuckle.

"That's why you love me." Amaele said and took another photo. Drell looked over at Obi-Wan who was leaning against the balcony railing.

"Hey your quiet tonight." Drell said giving him a nudge. Obi-Wan brought his attention away from the landscape and looked over at his friend.

"Not really in the mood to talk." he said,

"That's okay Obi I'll just talk and you can listen." Amaele said.

"That's the way it usually is." Obi-Wan said with a small smile. Drell laughed.

"What exactly you trying to say Kenobi?" Amaele asked in defense.

"Nothing." Obi-wan said with that grin of his.

" Hey Obi want to hear a joke?" Amaele asked trying to keep the mood light. Obi-wan nodded. " All right there were these two brothers and they were talking. The first brother say 'you know what I think we are old enough to curse.' the second brother responds ' I think so too' so the two brothers agree that the first thing the next morning they were going to curse. They go to bed then wake up the next morning. The two boys go down stairs and take a seat at the breakfast table. Their mother asks them 'what do you want for breakfast?' the first boy thinks then says 'hell I'll have some pancakes' the mother hits him so hard he falls out of the chair then she turns to the second boy and says 'what do you want for breakfast?' the boy looks down at his brother and says 'I know one thing I don't want no damn pancakes." Amaele looked at Obi-Wan. She saw a big smile come over his face. She loved to see him smile. "You know Obi-Wan Me and Drell will always be here for you, if you want to talk or something no matter what happens." She put her hand on his shoulder. He patted her hand.

"I know." he said gratefully. Then turned his attention back to the sun. Amaele stepped back and focused her camera on Obi-Wan. Then she pressed the button and took the photo.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Master Veda stood in the center of the Jedi Council. She had stood there countless number of times giving reports on her missions and such. But this time it was different. This time she was there to not request but demand that she and a team of Jedi be allowed to search for Obi-Wan's Master. The council could tell be the look in her eye that she was not going to take no for an answer.

" Master Veda, a request have you?" Yoda asked though Nicia had a feeling that the troll knew exactly the reason she was there. Nicia only bowed respectfully.

"Yes Master. I would like to ask for permission that me along with a team of other Jedi be allowed to search for Master Qui-Gon." After seeing Obi-Wan on the balcony last night she could not help but want to help the boy. All the guilt that she felt coming from him was enough to break her heart. Some how Obi-Wan must blame himself for Qui-Gon's turning to the dark side.

"Master Veda do you have any idea where Qui-Gon is?" Mace Windu asked.

" I believe he is still on Klaus." Nicia stated.

"You have proof of this?" Mace continued.

"No but I am trusting my instincts. If Qui-Gon thinks that Obi-Wan is dead then he would go after the one responsible." Nicia said with a tone of voice that dared anyone to contradict her. Mace glanced over at Master Yoda. Master Yoda nodded.

"Fine Master Veda you have permission to take a team to Klaus and search for Master Qui-Gon." Master Veda bowed again.

"Thank you Masters I will not let you down." She said leaving. I will not let Obi-Wan down either. She thought to herself.
