Hi all. Ok I know this is a bit short, but I couldn't let this be my last
upload… oh this is sad... n e wayz. Read on.
Last and Only Hope
It had been nearly four days since they had returned and Zae-Non was not getting better, in fact she was getting a lot worse. Obi-Wan stood in between Qui-Gon and Sage looking at the young Jedi fresh from the Bacta tanks. She had spent three days in the blueish-green water.
Her hair still damp, she looked so peaceful while sleeping. Not a worry, care, or hurt on her mind. Of course when she awoke that would be a different story. *If* she ever woke up…
Sage sighed and ran her fingers through Z's damp hair straightening it. "All this had to happen to her."
Just then, Winna walked in and gave them all a grave look. She shook her head. "The bacta has done all it can, but I'm afraid there isn't anything more we can do. We'll just have to wait."
"Wait until what?" Obi-Wan asked. "You told us she was getting worse. Wait until she dies?!"
Winna didn't respond. She just crested her lips together and looked down at Z.
"No…" Obi-Wan stared up at Qui-Gon who rested a heavy hand on his shoulder. "There has to be something we can do!"
"I'm sorry Obi-Wan, but there is nothing I know of that we can do." She walked out shutting the door behind her leaving the two Masters and the Apprentice with the slowly passing girl.
Sage looked at Qui-Gon. "There is something we can do. Winna doesn't want to do it for some reason all her own."
Qui-Gon nodded. "Yes, I know. I don't see why. Zae-Non is too young to leave us. She hasn't even begun to live. It's a very simple procedure as well."
Obi-Wan looked up at his Master. "What are you talking about?"
"Well, Z needs Force healing." Qui-Gon explained. "So much, that two or three Jedi would need to help heal her at the same time…"
Obi-Wan looked down at Z. He didn't need his Master to finish.
Simultaneously the three Jedi closed their eyes and drew the Force towards them. It swarmed around them and filled the room with light. If one was watching you could see a faint glow looming around the four people in the room, now bound together through the awesome power the Force was giving off.
Reaching out towards the young girl they gave all they had to her. Life brightened the room and a sudden pulse in the Force showed the girl was coming back to life. She wouldn't leave them… They wouldn't let her.
Obi-Wan let go slightly to the hold he had on Z, but as soon as he did he felt urgency. She was still slipping away. Slipping into the Force that clouded the room. He reached out, feeling exhaustion beckoning him to let her be.
*Z hold on. That is all I ask of you..*
Obi-Wan heard Sage's plea float through the air.
Slowly, Obi-Wan once again let go of Z, but this time felt Sage and Qui-Gon do the same.
Obi-Wan jerked backwards as a surge from the Force hit him and Z opened her eyes wide and began to breath heavily. Abruptly she went limp and sank back onto the cot unconscious.
Obi-Wan closed his eyes. Relief swept through him as well as a call from the dark. He opened his eyes and felt himself fall backwards. Qui-Gon and Sage reached out and steadied him.
"Easy Padawan." Qui-Gon said helping him stand. "You need to go rest now. Doing this has wiped your energy away."
Obi-Wan nodded weakly and looked down to Z. He winced as the sound of the door banging open echoed loudly in his ears.
Winna stormed in and looked at the three standing Jedi with a anger in her eyes. Sage pushed a chair to Obi-Wan, who happily collapsed in it.
*****
Qui-Gon gave Sage a side glance. He knew what they were about to get. A lecture about Force healing someone like they had just did to Z. Waiting in silence for Winna to start Qui-Gon looked over at Zae-Non, who for the first time in days, was breathing normally and was a shade brighter than white.
To his surprise Winna just walked passed them and looked at the monitors hooked up to Z. She began to mumble Zae-Non's condition to herself. "Heart rate lowering and returning to normal, breathing regulated…" She cut off and looked up at Sage and Qui-Gon. "What did you do?!"
Qui-Gon just smiled.
Winna sighed. "Oh never mind that. You saved her. I'm going to notify the Council of this." She ran out of the room shaking her head in displeasure, but a smile was tugging at her mouth.
Sage looked at him. "We'll be hearing from them about this."
"No doubts their." Qui-Gon laughed. He looked down at Obi-Wan in the chair and couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. He was passed out from exhaustion and had curled up onto the chair in an odd position.
Qui-Gon picked up his Apprentice and carried him back to his quarters. Lying the boy down on his sleep cot Qui-Gon sighed. He was glad Zae-Non was ok, and that this mission hadn't turned out like the one that changed his life forever. No one would ever understand how relived he was that his Padawan wouldn't have to go through what he had. Loosing a best friend.
Qui-Gon shook his head and walked towards his quarters. Still something loomed in the back of his mind. Something he couldn't place. It wasn't his Padawan, nor was it Sage or Z. It was something else. Someone far away from the Temple. Ona and Garmandi were dead and Brice saw the loss in his ways and yet someone still wanted revenge on the Jedi. Someone with the anger directed towards him. And they weren't going to give up till they got it.
Welp u know what im gunna say…review please!! I'm not gunna post the last..::sniff::… chapter till Friday. Ok till then
Peace Out
