Summary: A heart-broken Obi-Wan runs from the temple when his master tries to take a new apprentice. (Obi/Qui Fic. Not slash, promise)
Disclaimer: I don't own star wars; I'm just in love with the characters. I make no money, though I wish I did. I'd make much more money writing than waitressing. =p
I never have done an Obi story and I completely think Qui-Gon should have been a little more heartfelt with his padawan of what? 15 years? Instead of throwing him aside, so this is obi's take on things with a little dash of my imagination. ^^
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The lightsaber came whipping down onto the chains that held him on the wall. Obi felt like he was floating to the floor, until his face impacted with the cold hard cement. "Get up!" The sith apprentice demanded raising the lightsaber for another blow if he wasn't obedient. Obi-Wan rushed up onto his toes and stood tall. The girl smirked. "Good. Now. Master Sideous would like a word with you. I suggest you don't oppose him, little padawan. I'm just itching to hurt someone." The girl declared with a grim smile spreading across her lips as she shoved Obi out of the cell into the hallway. Quickly he walked to keep up with her. The small amount of force left in his body was really the only thing left in him to keep him alive.
They came up on two big doors that instantly swung open as she stepped in. The Sith master smiled darkly at her capture. "Very well done my young apprentice. I see you are catching back onto the groove of things. Put him down. And leave. I'll send for you when we are done." The girl nodded and walked back out, shutting the doors behind her. Sideous turned and nodded to the machine man whom was controlling the operations in the chair. Obi-Wan began crying out with pain as jolts of energy started coursing through his body at high levels. "THAT, my soon to be apprentice, is what you shall feel if you do not give me exactly what I want." He began to explain as his hand went down with the energy. "We have a good understanding of one another. You're a powerful Jedi, and I am a powerful sith. Together we could do great things," Sideous said as another dark smile came across his face. "That is why you left, isn't it? To find yourself"
Obi grimaced at the pain and shook his head, "I'll.. Never.. Join.. You.. I'm not like you!" Obi-Wan stuttered and stumbled over his words before getting his voice back. Once again the energy over took his body and he began to scream. The volts had gone up twice what it first was.
"Am I not explaining myself clear enough? Choose me, Kenobi, or choose death." He was less than pleased now. He placed his hand against the large teens forehead and began to feed him terrible memories of how his master left him, gave him away and pushed him from his life. "They never cared about you. Never wanted you. They never came after you. They wanted you to die out here. I saved you from that. I saved you from the streets, the Jedi. You can prove what you are worth with us. I know you can feel the anger inside you. Let it out." Sideous urged the young padawan.
Months began to pass and Obi was withdrawn into his own mind. He was emotionless, a cold doll with no life left in him. "Apprentice, show yourself." Sideous demanded quickly at the news the girl had just given him.
The form of Obi-Wan appeared in the doorway. "Yes, my master?" he asked as his eyes found that of Sideous'. "What is it you wish of me?" Obi-Wan asked coldly.
"Are you loyal to me?" Sideous asked with dark eyes facing the boy in front of him.
"Yes, my master." Obi-Wan replied with no emotion. Sideous smiled coolly at him and stood. "Come apprentice. Some Jedi want to see you, though I do not think they will want to see what you have become. Something they could never be." Sideous assured Obi. Somewhere deep inside he could hear a cry from the real padawan, but it was drowned by the emotions of hate and anger.
Obi-Wan followed somewhat behind the tall sith that was strutting down the hallway as if he were the king of the world. Obi's eyes felt heavy, and the scratch marks on his arms were from the failed attempts to join the force and end the misery he could no longer live with..
Qui-Gon felt he presents of his former apprentice and looked up from the force sedative chains. Mace stared blankly at the padawan, or what was left of him. Qui-Gon noticed his eyes were no longer full of life and his skin was a ghostly white. Surely this had to be the wrong person, his beloved Obi-Wan.
"Obi! Obi! Please! Help us!" Siri cried wrestling with the chains that held her red and swollen wrists up above her head.
"I do not know you." Obi-Wan replied turning away. "Why did you call me in here, my master?" His dark eyes glanced over to the tall man.
"Kill them. I trust you'll do well. I have a few things to handle. I want them all dead by the time I get back. Am I clear?" Sideous demanded coolly before turning around, "my Apprentice." He added to add salt to Qui-Gon's wound.
Obi-Wan smiled darkly and turned back around to face them. "Oh yes master. Clear as anything. They will be handled before you come back."
Siri looked at her fallen friend with disbelief, "What happened to you obi-Wan Kenobi? Listen to yourself!" Siri let herself get upset but her master sent a wave of calm to her.
"Yes… Let that anger out. It does wonders for your attitude. Let it take you over, girl. Embrace the fact no one cares about if you live or die, me being one of them." The flare of obi-Wan's red lightsaber flared as he spoke.
Siri went quiet as a tear made it's way down her cheek. To be honest, she had a crush on obi for the longest time.. But this wasn't her obi anymore. She had to get the strength to kill him before he killed them. The chain cuffs snapped off Siri and she drew her lightsaber and it flared a light blue. "Obi… Don't make me do this.. We're friends, remember? The temple.. Bant.. Garen.. Don't you remember?" she pleaded with him.
Obi-Wan swung and with a stinging buss her arm began to bleed, "I remember you letting me leave. Telling me to go. You didn't care. Why should I now?" Obi-Wan asked swinging again. Siri blocked as the lightsaber crackled and buzzed each time the met.
"Padawan. Listen to me.. We've searched high and low for you. Obi, come back to us. We need you, I need you." Qui-Gon admitted with a full heart watching what was happening before his eyes. The master's couldn't move. Obi let Siri down, but they weren't as lucky.
Obi Growled out to Qui-Gon, "Know. Your. Place," and swung his lightsaber so hard Siri's flung from her hand as his plunged deep into her flesh sizzling and burning. Siri dropped crying out in pain as his lightsaber ripped out the end.
"SIRI!!!!" The Jedi Master called out and began using the force to try and pry the chains to get to her injured padawan.
"Obi…. obi how…. could you?" Siri whispered softly, her words broken up with pain as her body fell to the cold ground and her head hit the floor.
Obi-Wan stood there starring at the girl… Something was familiar about her. Dropping his lightsaber he kneeled down to her and gently felt her wound. Shaking his head he tried to get the confusion out. "Who am I? Who ARE you?!" Obi-Wan yelled to the two Jedi hanging on the wall. "See what you've done!" He pointed down at the young girls body. "SEE!!!" Obi-Wan yelled louder as anger took him over and his body began to tremble. The chains unlocked and both masters fell to kneel on their knees. Once again he ignited his lightsaber only it was now glowing a purple and his yes shone with confusion.
Siri's master stared for a moment trying to figure out what was going on then it hit her like a ton of bricks. –This- was Qui-Gon's apprentice and in a confused state. Maybe.. Maybe she could help him.
Qui-Gon stared in horror as he began to speak soft comforting words to the apprentice, "I can't fight you Obi.. You are my son.."
Siri offered her hand. "Padawan. We need your help. Come home. We'll make you better. We know who you really are, Obi-Wan. Siri's best friend. She wouldn't want this.. Put down the lightsaber Obi, we can help you." She said comfortingly offering her hand. The lightsaber flickered and went off. Obi-Wan gave it to her and began to back off, tripping over Siri's body. Horrified he moved back into a corner starring at her.
"My.. Siri… my.. Master? I'm.. a.. padawan.. I.. can't.. remember. I.." Slowly a tear moved its way down his cheek. He moved towards Siri cautiously and took her into his arms. Obi rolled her onto his back and gently placed his hands on her ribs and concentrated.
Qui-Gon watched with deep concern but made no move towards the broken apprentice, he held Siri's master Quilla back as they both watched carefully.
Siri began to cough and gag as Obi-Wan fed parts of his own life force into her. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at her old best friend. His eyes were filled with their old life but something was different in them she couldn't point out. "Obi..?" She asked softly.
Making no move he lifted her into his arms and walked to the two Jedi Masters who were now standing and handed her to Quilla. With an affectionate glance at his old master he gave a weary yet comforting smile, "Hurry and get out… if they find you, I can't stop them.." And with that... He walked away.
