[*sigh* If my English teacher would the my grammar, I wouldn't live any longer. I'm grateful of any help you can give me.

Besides, this week is "Karneval" in Germany and I must finish my costume, before it is to late. So it could take some time until my next post. I'm very sorry.]

Do you believe the wind blows

because someone said: "Wind blow now!" ?

Do you believe the stars are shining

because someone switched them on?

Do you believe that?

Do you believe the elements do what they shall do

And not what they want?

If you believe that, you will never see and understand

what I mean when I say: "I want to be free!"

Free like the wind when it's blowing

I want to be free

Free like a star in the sky

I want to be free

1 Just free

Just free

"Is that your mother?", Danielle whispered to the crowed figure beneath her cloak.

An eye gazed through a slit and looked to the giant hangar doors.

"Mum!", the little one called and in an instant was on his way to the woman, who stepped in the hall.

"Anakin," the woman called back. But then the little boy slithered to an halt. Behind his mother, one of the big guards entered the hangar.

"I knew it!", he growled. "You lied to me, scum!" With big, threatening steps, he neared Danielle.

Danielle rose slowly. "No, I didn't. I never said that I don't know where the boy is."

Thud

A punch echoed through the giant room. Danielle's cheek burned. She stared at the guard, surprised.

"What is your number?", the big man growled.

"Number?", she repeated dazed. With a quick move, the guard gripped her wrist and looked at the mark, the laser had burned in. "329! If you didn't get it yet, 329 is your new name." And with that he thrust his thumb in the still fresh wound. Danielle squeezed her eyes shut and sank to her knees. Whimpering, she stopped a scream that rose in her throat.

Do you believe the planets would stop turning

if someone would decide, that it would be better for them to stand still?

/*/*/*/

"Stop it!", Anakin yelled and ran towards the guard.

/*/*/*/

Do you believe, that someone, somewhere, someday

could live your life for you?

/*/*/*/



"Ani, don't," rang the voice of his mother from behind him.

But he already clasped the leg of the man.

"You little brat!" growled the man and let go of Danielle. He gripped the little one's neck with one hand and lifted him.

The boy's face became red and he tried to breath, unsuccessful.

"Let him go," Danielle screamed while she got to her feet.

The guard laughed scornfully.

Danielle lift one arm and stroke her fist in the mans stomach. With a groan, all air escaped his lungs and he let go of the boy.

Do you believe your life

is already wrote down

and somewhere a wise man

take the consequences of your actions?

Danielle kneeled and hugged the four year old who clutched his wounded neck and sobbed. She silently comforted him and looked around for the mother. But all she saw where five more guards, surrounding the two. Before she could react, one of them gripped the little one and tore him from her.

The next thing she felt, was the coolness of the hangar floor beneath her and a burning pain in her back.

"Stand up!", someone demanded roughly. One harsh kick in her ribs was the punishment for her disobedience.

Two hands pulled her up to her feet. Through tear-filled eyes she could see Anakin trying to struggle free from one of the guards. He screamed when a fist hit Danielle in the face. Slowly she sank to her knees.

"Stop it. Let her go," Anakin's voice echoed in the giant hall. He looked for his mother, but she was disappeared.

Forcefully he ripped his head back and hit the nose of the guard, who was clasping him with both arms. Screaming, the man let go of him.

/*/*/*/

Do you believe that from all lives in the universe

one is more worth than yours?

/*/*/*/

Stars danced in Danielle's vision. The room started spinning and she closed her eyes to get rid of the dizziness. From far away, she heard Anakins screams. Slowly she opened her eyes again.

Despaired, she saw, as one man with bloody nose, punched the little one roughly.

And suddenly a glimmer grew lager and lager.

/*/*/*/

Just free

/*/*/*/

With an almighty energy, the light spread in the entire hangar, hit the guards with full force and sent them slithering over the floor.

/*/*/*/

Just free

Ani looked at Danielle with wide eyes. A bright and warm glimmer surrounded her.

Her chest rose and sank heavily with every deep breath she took.

And slowly the light faded until it was gone again.

"That was 15 minutes ago," Chan reported and turned of the video. Then he turned back to the hologram of one cloaked figure.

"That little scum is forcesensitive?! That changes the situation…but to the good!" An malicious laughter could be heard and the hologram disappeared.
