uploaded in awhile, but..there's a lot going on right now. Please review,
if i should continue and if anyone has any ideas they want me to consider.
DREAM
A path stood before him. Anakin looked at it closly as it began to split into two more roads. He took a step back and he knew that he had to choose one. A voice, much like Chaisa's called out to him as if far away.
"Choose the right one and live. Choose the wrong one and you and your friends will perish in my hands."
Anakin trembled and looked toward the roads. Tears ran down his cheeks as he decided to go on the one to his left. He ran a little ways and stopped. Anakin looked back but thick fog blocked his eyesight and turned around and slamed into a brick wall. He fell with a hard thump on the ground and got up immediatly.
Anakin took some steps back as Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Garen appeared in front of him. Anakin watched in horror as the three were sliced in half by an invisible enemy. He screamed and tried to run but someone was shaking him and he awoke to the waking world still crying and screaming, but not as loud.
END OF DREAM
Anakin woke with a jerk and he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head to see Obi-Wan's face looking at him with mild worry. Anakin's breathing came in short gasps and he felt clammy. He was still trembling and tears fell down his cheeks.
"Anakin, clam down. It was a dream. Nothing more. Everything is alright."
"No, no you, master, I-I ha-had to pick a-a ro-road, a-a-and-" Anakin broke off with a choked sob. He wondered where his master was because he really needed his master's reassurance. He put his head in his hands and he felt Obi-Wan's hand lift from his shoulder.
A few minutes later he felt a cool cloth on the back of his neck and his master's hand on his back. He sat up and gazed into Qui-Gon's eyes. Already Anakin felt himself calming down.
Qui-Gon laid Anakin back and said soft but stern," Ani, can you tell me what it was about. Take your time, I've heard that it must have been terrible."
Anakin nodded and told Qui-Gon his nightmare. When he was finished he found he felt better, but still clammy. Qui-Gon was deep in thought and Anakin noticed that Obi-Wan was also in here. Obi-Wan was looking at Anakin and when Anakin looked back the oldest smiled comfortingly.
Qui-Gon spoke softly," I believe it might have been just a dream Ani, but if it makes you feel better I will meditate on it. Now if you're okay, I will go finish. And besides Mistress Chaisa has asked for you."
At the word mistress Anakin stared at Qui-Gon in wonder. Qui-Gon smiled and said,"That is how you are to address her."
Anakin looked at him with disbelief. No way am I going to call her..mistress, Anakin thought. Qui-Gon must have read his expression because his master said," You will, my padawan."
Anakin grinned crookedly and got up. He walked over to the basin and washed his face. As he dried it off he realized Obi-Wan was still there. Anakin turned around as he put the towel back on the rack. After a few seconds Obi- Wan said," I was wondering if we could talk for a few minutes?"
Anakin stared at him and nodded almost numbly. Obi-Wan gave a quick smiled and said," Back in the woods. I know you felt..felt it too. I was caught by surprise. I knew you were too, by the look on your face and how you kept looking at me."
"Yeah, it..it was strange," Anakin said looking down," When I first came to the temple and learned how to properly handle the force and reach into people, I..uh..I had tried a lot to feel you."
Obi-Wan grinned and replied," Yes, I know." Anakin's head shot up, shocked and a little embarrassed.
"Yes, I knew. Even though you couldn't feel it, I could feel you. Sneaking, trying to secretly find a way. You had seemed to forgotten that I am a fully qualified jedi. But I admired your..what's the word...uh..your..oh well nevermind. I thought it showed a lot about your personality."
Anakin nodded and jumped when a gong rung. "Well, Knight Obi-Wan I've better go see what Ch-Mistress Chaisa wants."
Obi-Wan stood up and said," Alright then, and Anakin?" Anakin turned back around to face him. "It's Obi-Wan, not Knight. That's only reserved for non friends."
Anakin smiled and nodded.
Anakin entered the largest hut, or in other words Chaisa's sleeping quarters. It was huge on the inside and a bed stood at the end. Violet drapes were hanging everywhere and the bed was big enough for five people. There was a table with a couple chairs near it. A sword lay at the end of a bed in a glass case.
As he got further into the hut, Anakin saw the woman laying on the bed, wearing an even more revealing outfit than yesterday. She smiled as he came closer to her and sat up to greet him.
"Good morning, my Anakin. I heard that you did not have a good, peaceful sleep. I am very sorry," she said softly. Anakin nodded in a polite tone but inside he was starting to anger. What was she doing, saying my Anakin!
"Yes Ch-Mistress Chaisa. I had a..a nightmare. But I am alright. Thank you." "Oh my poor baby. Come you will stay with me!"
Anakin frowned. "Why, I thought th-."
He was cut off as a hand backhanded him. Dazed, he wondered if was her that had hit him. "First rule," she said her voice hard now," You will take everything I say, no questions asked! Second, I claim you. You are my personal Anakin. You will work for no one else but me. Unless I tell you. Is that clear?"
"Yes Mistress." Another slap. Even harder than the first one. "I will be referred to as Mistress Chaisa, not just Mistress." "Yes Mistress Chaisa," Anakin replied.
Chaisa smiled. "Good, my little toy. You will learn. Now go, I will call you later. Come to me when you hear a bell." "Yes Mistress Chaisa."
She laughed in delight as he went back to his own hut. Once he was inside he kicked and punched his pillow. Bounty Hunter indeed. She was more like a whore! Anakin bristled for another few mintues before he calmed down a bit. This wasn't how a jedi acted.
He walked over to the mirror and sighed. A red hand print painted the side of his face. He couldn't let Qui-Gon or the others see this. if they did the mission would be ruined. A tinkling sound of a bell sounded and he groaned. Let's go see what the little witch wants, Anakin thought bitterly.
