* Family Entanglements *
One moment he was meditating on his bed, the next he found himself on the cold ground in shock.
Confused and clearly shaken by what had happened, Jacen picked himself off the floor dusting off his clothes. He had to see his uncle. If what the vision he had was true then...
Not bringing himself to think about it, Jacen strolled out into the hall. He placed his hand of the activation council and the door closed with a swish. Without looking, he spun around and collided into someone knocking them to the ground and falling on top of the person.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking. I—" Looking down at the being his words ceased to flow from his mouth as he struggled to get up. "Tahiri, hi."
"Hi Jacen," she stumbled over her words. The whole situation was awkward. He got off her, assisting her to her feet quickly. "Thanks," Tahiri mumbled.
"I'm sorry. I'm just kind of out of it."
"It's ok, I've been feeling the same way."
"I'll see you around." Jacen responded. His heart was thundering out of his chest. He prayed Tahiri didn't notice. "Umm… later." With that, he dashed away from her.
"Later," she breathed underneath her breath. Her heart sunk deeper the further he got.
A voice behind her called out her name. Turning around she saw it was Anakin. "Hey Tahiri, I've been looking everywhere for you. You ok?"
"Huh?"
"You look kind of pale? You sick?" Anakin question in concern.
Shaking her head, she disagreed. "No, no. I'm fine. I just need a nap." Even though Tahiri liked Anakin, his sweetness, the tender soft touch of his lips on hers… she often wondered how his older brother's felt. He acted a lot more mature than Anakin would ever be. For the first time Tahiri found her heart torn between two guys, and they were both brothers. *No this can't be happening, * she tried to reason with her heart and mind, but deep inside she knew the truth. Shaking off the thought she gazed at the boy beside her. "I'll catch up with you later, Anakin. I need to go do some thinking."
"Sure, " lifting her face towards his he kissed her softly. "Don't go Yuuzhan Vong on me though."
Half smiling, she laughed. "I promise."
Then they went their separate ways.
