A hike without hiking boots
The master and his padawan set out quickly to find the Senator. Word had been sent to Naboo to tell them the news of Tara and what was happening. For once, things actually started to be looking up for Obi-wan. He was actually accomplishing something and not being laughed at. They left the planet as soon as they possibly could, taking a craft to seat three people. When he got to her, if he got to her in time, some things were sure to change. A silence was held and neither man said anything because there was nothing to say that didn't sound stupid except the question Anakin voiced out of curiosity.
"Master, do you know where she is?"
"I have an idea. I'm positive that it is Tatooine. It is only a matter of where on that desert of a planet she is. No offense meant."
"None taken. Do you think she'll be happy to see us? I know if I'd been taken against my will, I would."
"I'm sure she'd be happy to see us. I just hope she hasn't been hurt in any way because she doesn't deserve it." Obi-wan said before actually realizing the meaning of his words.
"Same here Master, same here." Anakin said, ending the small conversation. What they didn't know was what happened to Tara.
Tara's only light was that of some moderately shining bulbs and dimly lit candles so when a hidden door in a black velvet wall opened, she was momentarily blinded with the sunlight that flooded the room. A tall, dark, but certainly not handsome man walked in. The man had muddy brown hair, a nose that had been broken a few times, a scar down a hard jawbone, hard blue eyes and a mouth that sneered and showed yellow teeth beneath.
"Come now."
"Go where, my lord?" Tara asked, politely addressing him as higher rank than she herself was to stay on his good side.
"Do not ask any questions, wench. Come with me, now." He said in a slightly nasal but naturally beautiful baritone voice.
"No, I'd like to know where I'm about to be carted off to before I'm carted off, if you please, my lord. It just seems fair in that one manner." She said quietly, not liking the way at all he was treating her.
"You're pushing my limits. Do as I say or else you won't be able to regret your actions. Now start going." The man replied anger in his eyes and annoyance in his voice.
"Yes, sir, my lord, sir." Tara said, as if she were still an apprentice back at the Jedi Temple.
"You will address me as Lord Callos." He said shortly.
"Yes, my lord Callos." Tara said, feeling worse and worse about the man as each second ticked by her.
She promptly followed him outside, squinting so that her eyes could get used to the lighting. They got into a small ship and started off, traveling off the planet and to some far off star. Once again, she was blindfolded. Tara fell asleep, after breaking the planet's atmosphere. She woke up, chained to a wall.
Tara
They're coming for me! Or they were. I wonder who that man was anyways. His name, it doesn't sound right, like he's cruel or something like that. No wonder he wears all those cloaks and robes. Well, now I feel as if I'm well dressed, looking upon his attire. I wonder where we're going and what will happen next. I think I shall try for Anakin, because I'm unable to reach for Obi-wan and his chain and I need a friend to talk to, someone who might make more sense.
: : Anakin, it's me, Tara! : :
: : Senator Ross, is it really you? : :
: : Quit it with the senator stuff, not unless you want me calling you padawan. : :
: : Tara, it is you! : :
: : Who else would this be, Anakin? : :
: : It's so wonderful to hear from you again! : :
: : It's even better to hear from you. We were worried about you. : :
: : Well, I've got news for you. I don't know where I am anymore. An extremely ugly and cold man came and took me and I've been blindfolded. I don't know where I am and I don't know where you are. : :
: : That's not new, you not knowing where you are. Well, how do I break this to Master? He's been running around a bit like a machine, never stopping to care for himself. You're a bad influence on him, milady. You may be one to me as well, but not that I don't mind. : :
: : Really, well we'll just have to see how much of an influence I am on him. : :
: : Yes, milady. We're coming for you, or Master is and I'm to be dragged along, not that I don't mind seeing you. : :
: : Please hurr- : :
The connection broke off, leaving a very irate Tara and panicked padawan. Well I hope they can find me.
Anakin
Poor Master, losing someone who's like his sister. I feel something coming on.
: : Anakin, it's me, Tara! : :
: : Senator Ross, is it really you? : :
: : Quit it with the senator stuff, not unless you want me calling you padawan. : :
: : Tara, it is you! : : I can't believe it's really her!
: : Who else would this be, Anakin? : :

: : Please hurr- : :
Oh wonderful, the connection broke up! Just what I needed. I wonder how I'll tell Master.
Obi-wan
I'd better get to Tara. Who knows how long she might last or if anything happened. I hope nothing did. I hope she's having a better time than I am.
