Chapter 3~Revelations
Lily woke up with a shadow hunched over her. She expected to feel fangs digging into her neck, but it turned out to be Obi-Wan placing a kiss on her forehead. Lily blushed and tried to make it seem that she didn't feel...well in a passionate mood at the moment.
"You're awake," Obi-Wan said. "I was beginning to fear that you would be asleep past my vehicles class."
"I don't sleep that late," Lily said, laughing. I do believe I can go back to my apartment now." Lily grinned and hoped that Obi-Wan wouldn't make it so difficult to keep him away from her as much as possible.
"Let me help you," Obi-Wan offered, placing his arm around her waist. Lily flinched; her ribs were still aching.
"Thank you," Lily said when they got to her apartment. She gasped when she saw Qui-Gon standing over a sleeping Selina. "Stay away from her," Lily ground her teeth, trying to keep her anger down. She was just really glad that Obi-Wan had gotten to her in time.
Qui-Gon looked up and smiled a hideous smile with his fangs showing. "Well if it isn't the injured Padawan," he said.
"Get out of here before I call upon the Council," Lily threatened. She looked over to Obi-Wan to see what his reaction was, and wasn't surprised to see him in a state of shock and horror.
"Fine, but if you do tell the Council, I shall make it known just why you got in here so easily," Qui-Gon said, jumping out of the window and flying down to the ground, unharmed.
"What the hell was that?" Obi-Wan asked, snapped back into reality.
"I told you vampires were real...your Master used to be a normal Jedi, but he must have gotten bitten and stayed in the temple for espionage," Lily said, whispering to let Selina sleep.
"I should have trusted you...you were telling the truth, but I was too ignorant to believe you," Obi-Wan said, moving closer to her so that his face was right in front of hers.
"Obi-Wan, please, you're making this too hard!" Lily said. "I must tell you something else...we Jedi Slayers aren't allowed to fall in love with other Jedi...it's been a rule for as long as there have been vampires in the universe," Lily turned her head away to prevent Obi-Wan from seeing her tears.
Obi-Wan felt an icicle from the caves of Hoth strike his heart just then. He couldn't believe Lily had rejected him like this. Ever since the Jedi Council changed the Code to allow certain love relations, Obi-Wan was hoping for his soul mate to come to him. Now she had, but she was hands- off.
"Well...if I didn't know any better I would think there was a conspiracy to drive me insane," Obi-Wan said, not trying to stop his tears from flowing. "You can't...fall in love with a Jedi...but you can fall in love with anyone else?"
"Yes..." Lily said, her voice cracking. "I'm...I'm sorry, Obi-Wan...but I doubt I'd find anyone as sweet and caring as you that's not a Jedi." Lily was trying to make it sound that she hated this as much as possible. Her feelings for Obi-Wan had changed in the past hours, and when she knew that Obi-Wan was definitely not like everyone else, she wished for her Code to be changed.
"Well...I guess I should go. Beginners' Vehicles calls," Obi-Wan said, rushing out of the room and wiping his tears off.
"Wait, Obi-Wan!" Lily yelled, but Obi-Wan didn't hear her. He was too busy wishing he never met her so that his heart didn't break into tiny pieces.
Selina had been awake all along, but didn't make it look like she was awake in order to hear the entire story. She felt bad that her Padawan couldn't love Obi-Wan. Selina could tell in the way she looked him in the eyes before that the girl was in love. Selina vowed to make an attempt to change this Code of hers.

"You mean you DIDN'T get her?" a man wearing all black and petting a beast half-lion half-bird spoke into a comlink.
"I couldn't...Obi-Wan and Lily rushed in just in time. The boy knows; the plan failed, my Master," the voice in the comlink said. "We need a new one, this stupid Lily is ruining everything!"
"Don't worry, I have just the idea in mind. I shall debrief you later, though, I have a feeling your Padawan will be coming soon. This time he might block your connection," the man said. "Griffin, it looks like you will need to intervene. Bring me the boy."

"Obi-Wan, what's wrong?" a girl asked. She twirled a piece of her curly hair around her finger and looked into Obi-Wan's eyes. She was one of Obi- Wan's true friends and was concerned when she saw his red, puffy eyes.
"Got denied by a girl," Obi-Wan said, staring out into space. "She's the most beautiful girl ever, too. Don't you ever wish you could fall in love with someone, Jenghana?"
"Every day..." Jenghana said. She sat down, adjusting Obi-Wan's braid as she did so. Their teacher walked in and class began, as it normally did. No one else noticed the faint trace of sadness on his face.
Jenghana passed him a note which read, "Tell me what happened, Obi-Wan, I want to find out exactly why this girl dumped you."
So Obi-Wan, in his depressed state of mind, decided that he would tell her the truth and hoped it would change her mind about Lily. He knew she was always with of the crowd, believing gossip and going along with everyone else. He couldn't help Lily alone, and Jenghana could possibly help.
Dearest Jenghana,
The girl who dumped me was Lily. She's the new girl, and I'm sure you know who that is. Everyone's been picking on her, but somehow I managed to see more than what everyone thought they saw. She told me that she couldn't fall in love with me because of her secret. I cannot write this on paper, so I will tell you later. Just remember that sometimes people are superficial and don't peer beneath the skin of someone. I hope you believe me on this, you have always been my truest friend.
Friends forever,
Obi
Obi-Wan pushed the note to Jenghana's foot and she intercepted it while their teacher, a Jedi Master with black hair and piercing gray eyes named Hellin, didn't even notice. While the boring lecture continued, Obi-Wan placed his chin on his hand and drifted off into a dream.
~*~
"Please, I know how important it is for your Code to uphold, but recently we have revised ours. Just this once, don't you think you can just revise it just this once?" Selina asked, kneeling before the S.O.S., more commonly known as the Secret Order of the Slayers.
"We cannot do this, we created that law for a reason, and it will stand," one of the slayers, a brunette wearing a trench coat and concerned more with her beauty than anything else.
"Well perhaps you should follow more closely with our Code. I see you're concerned so much with your appearance that you have forgotten what creates happiness. If a Jedi is happy, they fight better. Your appearance will get you nowhere, but friends, and more importantly love will help you in the long run," Selina barked out.
"I don't want my girls drooling over stupid Padawans and spending more time with them than slaying!" an auburn snapped back.
"This is a special girl. I believe that she will perform better, and perhaps have an ally, if you let her love...just this one," Selina said, hoping that they would change their minds very soon.
"We shall think over this. In the meantime, will you bring Lily to me when she doesn't have classes? We wish to speak with her regarding this matter," the brunette said.
"Certainly," Selina said, bowing respectfully before she left.
~*~
Lily looked out at the setting sun and let a simple tear trace her features before putting the hood over her face. She resolved the matter, if she wasn't going to be able to work here because the pain of looking at Obi-Wan each day would be too troublesome, than she would run away. "Goodbye, Coruscant. Until another day...Obi-Wan."
But before she could take another step, she spun around and was looking straight into the sinister eyes of Qui-Gon Jinn. "I believe you've been a very, very bad girl."
