Chapter 9: The Confession

A dizzying spell seemed to be cast on Qui-Gon as he watched in horror as the blade flashed towards him. Silently, he closed his eyes, preparing himself for the inevitable blow. Qui-Gon heard the sound of the saber connecting with flesh, and he heard the cry of pain, yet felt nothing. Coming out of his shock, he gasped in horror as Obi-Wan fell limply to the floor next to him.

Anakin cursed to himself, knowing that when Sidious found out that Obi-Wan had been hurt, he would suffer. Knowing that soon the medical ward would be over run with medical teams, in response to Obi-Wan's cry, Anakin prepared to flee. But before leaving he turned to Qui-Gon, who was kneeling next to Obi-Wan.

" Good-bye Master. I shall return for him," Anakin said pointing to Obi-Wan, "And no one will stop me." He quickly turned and ran out of the room, fleeing into the night.

Quickly turning his back on Anakin, Qui-Gon knelt next to Obi-Wan. He gently hushed the young man, knowing that by turning him, the already painful wounds would burn. Hesitantly, he turned Obi-Wan over, gasping at what he saw. Obi-Wan had been cut in one sweep from top to bottom on his back. The wound was deep and gruesome, but fortunately the blade had been at an angle that the wound would be painful and life threatening, but wouldn't kill Obi-Wan with a single blow.

He gently lay Obi-Wan back down then attempted to rise only to find his wrist in an iron clad grip. Qui-Gon gently pried the hand away before standing up completely. Turning back he saw Obi-Wan staring up at him.

"No. No healer's. Need to sleep. I will be fine once I wake up. Please don't leave me," Obi-Wan said, as he fought to keep his eyes open. Qui-Gon gave in, kneeling next to the young man, before gently pulling him into his arms, and wincing as Obi-Wan let out a breath of pain.

"I'm sorry Obi-Wan..." Obi-Wan shook his head, ignoring the pain as best he could.

"Please don't leave me," Obi-Wan said.

Qui-Gon couldn't help the flash of pain that stabbed at his heart at Obi-Wan's words. The boy still loves me, after all this time. After all that I did to him, how could he still care so much?

"Because you are my Master, and father," Obi-Wan whispered and he lost his fight to stay awake.
