Hey everyone! I'm really sorry for all that time but things got a lil outta hand in life and I needed to come back to earth. But, I do have a chap now and I promise to try my best and get back to writing regularly.
Pls, forgive the wait.
First Rusted Link
Darkness had fallen over the small planet hours ago and the humid air of the day was cooled by a light breeze in the silent evening. The full moon could not wind it's light through the trees into the heavily wooded area that the Jedi were in, but it did not bother the two very much. One ran behind the other, Padawan behind master, as they raced along the leafy ground.
What their mission had been was not important at the moment. It was over, and had been quite a success. Or so it had seemed to be. An easy escorting mission to a small planet was nothing unusual for the team to be assigned and sometimes things had a way of getting out of hand, but in all nothing had been amiss. Until then.
Obi-Wan tensed as he felt it again. The same ripple of apprehension seemed to bouncing off the threes around him, but the main source could not be identified. There was someone out there, he knew that much, but who he hadn't the slightest clue.
"Anakin," The master called to his apprentice just above a whisper through the darkness. "Padawan, stay near."
A low groan left the young man's lips. "I am not ten anymore you know. I can tell that someone is out there." He said rather edgily.
"This is no time to argue with me Anakin." The master replied, annoyance dripping into his softly spoken words. The boy always seemed to bring the subject up at the worst possible moments. "Just do as I say and we will talk when we get back to our ship."
"If we ever get back…"
"Anakin!"
A heavy sigh was his only response.
Shaking his head Obi-Wan waved to his apprentice that they should slow their pace. The two stopped in a small clearing sense on high alert for the slightest movement around them. The danger was closer now and yet somehow still all around them. One being could not come from every direction, but there was only one individual. If not, the master could not sense the others.
Ridding the thought from his mind the master narrowed his eyes to try and gazed through the black sheet that hung all around them.
Reaching out with the Force Obi-Wan struggled to keep down his impatients with their follower. He had the strange feeling he knew who it was in the woods with them, but it was only a distant feeling of awareness. A small something that seemed familiar, but it was too vague for even the most remote guess possible.
Taking a step forwards the master only had a moments warning before the first shot was fired. The sound of a blaster echoed in the wooded area and the Jedi rolled just in time, but only to find out the shot was not meant for him. The blast had indeed met its target and all knew when the sound of someone hitting the ground behind the master rang out in a dull thud.
Spinning around Obi-Wan sprinted to his padawan's side igniting his lightsaber at the same time. The young man was on his stomach unconscious and a rather nasty looking wound on his right shoulder. But it was nothing that would seriously injure the Padawan.
Spinning around the master scanned the area with his eyes. His heart jumped to his throat as he realized the only reason he had avoided the blaster shot was because he had seen it. Not because he felt it. He realized now that he could not percept anything. No warning from the Force, he could not hear anything in woods, he could see no one. But instinct told him to stay wary.
Turning back to the fallen boy Obi-Wan cursed under his breath.
"I should have been more careful!"
A low laugh echoed from behind the master. "You should always be more careful Jedi."
And so it begins… that's wat I said last time huh? Oh well. Till Later~
