The water ran smoothly over the flat rocks. Trees and shrubs flowered beautifully throughout the forest. It was beautiful, or would have been if Siri wasn't a tied-up hostage. The men dragging her jerked the rope once more and she came to rest under a large tree.

"What'll we do with her?" one of the men asked.

The one with one eye turned to her. "Whatever we want. As long as we keep her tied up." He crouched in front of Siri, who involuntarily recoiled. He reached out and roughly grabbed her chin. "Didn't know Jedi could be so pretty. Seems like a waste though."

"Yeah Jedi can't do anything." a red-head added.

"Well," the one-eyed man released her chin, "we'll just have to show her what she was missing, won't we boys?"

"Yeah!" came the unanimous answer from all four men.

Just then from the woods came the sound of a speeder bike. All four men's heads snapped up at the noise.

"Grab her and let's go!" the man with one-eye shouted. Red-Head grabbed the roap roughly and picked her up. He clumsily held onto her as the climbed up the rocks to the top of the waterfall. Red slipped once, banging Siri's head on the ground. He either didn't notice or didn't care. They were running as fast as they can, but reached a dead end when they reached the top. The steady climb ended in a steep cliff.

One-Eye turned and looked around frantically. " Kreth! What'll we do?"

A guy with a missing tooth stepped forward. "We can climb it, but not with her."

Red-Head stepped forward after him. "Let's just throw her."

One-Eye turned to Red-Head sharply. "Where?"

"Down there." He pointed to the lake below the waterfall.

"Yeah, yeah. Good idea. Give me her rope." He snatched the rope and tied it once more around her legs. He whispered in her ear," Happy landings." With that he picked her up and hurled her over the edge of the waterfall.

The fall seemed to take forever for Siri. She tumbled head over heels a few times, before landing in the freezing cold water with a splash. She opened her eyes and couldn't see but four feet in front of her, nor could she hear anything on the surface. She held her breath as long as she could, but she estimated she had been down there for about two minutes. Her time was running out fast, and darkness was beginning to claim her mind.

Just as she was about to pass out, she heard a splash of water, but it sounded so far away. Then she felt strong arms scoop her up and kick toward the surface.

The next thing she knew, was that she felt somebody's mouth on hers. Then they would pull away and pound on her chest. Oh great, she though, still groggy as she took a deep breath of air, the pervs came back for me. Then she realized that she was no longer tied up. She began to gather her strength, then decided to open her eyes, just to see how many were there.

What she saw was a bearded man gazing at her with worried blue eyes. "Are you alright?" asked an accented voice. A voice, and an accent she recognized.

"Obi-Wan?" she gasped.

"Yes." It was Obi-Wan, her very best friend. Then the reality of what just happened hit her.

She began to cry. She had been so close to death, and so close to the men having their way with her that she just broke down. To her surprise, Obi-Wan gathered her up on his arms and held her. She had never wanted him to let go.

Siri opened her eyes. Yes, she thought, that's when I truly fell for him. She gave his hand another squeeze as she stood up. She slowly made her way to the cockpit, to find Anakin dozing in the pilot's chair, and Ferus fighting sleep in the copilot's chair. She prodded Ferus awake enough to get him to go to one of beds. Then she picked up Anakin and placed him gently in one of the bunks. He mumbled something incoherant and rolled over. She smiled and patted one of his shoulders. She returned to the med-bay to find Obi-Wan suddenly turning in his sleep.

He was tossing and turning, mumbling. "No, not Qui-Gon....no," he was saying. Siri went and sat next to the bunk, and took his hand in hers. He tossed once more, then calmed. Siri smiled sadly and laid a hand on his head.

"You'll get better, Kenobi. I know you will. You're strong."
