Part 2
Apprentice Retrieval
Qui-Gon turned from the comm unit and said, "We have a new mission."
Obi-Wan knew their missions changed often. "What is our new mission?" he asked.
Qui-Gon answered by saying, " We are to go to the planet Clis. Once there we must retrieve Teevea Lyn. She is a Jedi apprentice, slightly younger than you and her master has been killed. She is to be taken back to the temple to finish training."
Obi-Wan didn't speak for a while but when he did he said, "This must b a very difficult time for her. I would hate to loose my master."
Qui-Gon looked at the obedient Obi-Wan and knew having such a loyal padawan was a treasure.

Teevea bolted up in her bed. Cold sweat had soaked her night shirt. For the first time in her life she was scared. She was afraid of being lonely. The tears came, that evil man she thought how could he put me through this? The emotional stress alone was enough to drive one crazy. It was taking all her Jedi abilities just to hold on to her sanity.
She rose from the bed and got a glass of water. She sat down at the table, then touched the holo cube lying there. The image of Tallin Starn sprang up in front of her. She smiled at it as she grabbed the smooth silver colored stone that hung from a chain around her neck. The stone held dark purple swirls. It had been the gift given to her by her master on her thirteenth birthday. That seemed like an eternity ago.
She would have to move on, got on with her life. Anyway tomorrow the Jedi would come and take her to the temple. She would make Master Starn proud.
Suddenly a mirage like figure sprang into being beside the table. It was Tallin Starn. The glittering image spoke, "You must keep with your training. Remember I am one with the Force now. I shall always be here for you." Then he disappeared.
A tear streaked down her check as she said, "Consider it done, Master."
She knew he heard what she said. Somehow things seemed slightly better than before. Perhaps things would get better for her, maybe even a lot better. At least she hoped so.
