Chapter 7----
Qui-Gon rubbed a sweaty hand through his hair. Even jedi training didn't get as vigorous as this. This..type of training required energy and lots of it. He looked to his left and saw Garen and Obi-Wan. They, too looked tired, but not as tired as he felt.
I wish I was younger, Qui-Gon thought absently. He was relieved when the bell sounded for break. He walked over to the fountain and drank. When he got his fill, Qui-Gon stood up and wiped his mouth. He walked over to one of the rare trees and sat down. He was soon joined by Obi-Wan and Garen.
"Well," Garen said smiling," If we trained like that all the time, we'd be buff." Obi-Wan chuckled. " Yeah, but I don't think Master Windu would go for it. It can be a distraction for..you know..women," he finished blushing.
Qui-Gon laughed a put a hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder. It was true because this type of training called for no shirts. He was still laughing when Mistress Chaisa came out with Anakin by her side. Obi-Wan blushed even darker as he saw what she was wearing. Garen looked down and grinned.
Anakin spotted them and caught Chaisa's eyes. She nodded and Anakin went over there. Qui-Gon watched this unamused. "What was that about Ani," he said curtly. He noticed a faint red mark on the left side of Anakin's face.
The boy blinked and said emotionless," I'm her personal...err...-" "Assistant," Obi-Wan finished.
Anakin cocked his head, thinking. He shook his head and said," Her exact words were personal Anakin." The three jedi frowned. Anakin shrugged and sat down. He didn't see the problem with it.
Besides the occasianal slap, he thought darkly. Clearing his mind he asked," So what are you guys doing? Besides sitting."
Garen smiled and answered," We are training. Mistress Chaisa said that we are to be on the fight team. So we are learning how to control our feelings."
Anakin half grinned and stopped when Qui-gon said," What are you doing?"
Anakin answered hotly," I'm being her personal slave basically. I get her things and I have to do what ever she tells me to. If I don't I..uh..I don't get a break," he finished quickly. There was no way he was going to tell them about the slapping.
Qui-Gon looked at his apprentice. Something wasn't right here. He looked at the sixteen year old in unbelievingly. The other two nodded their heads. He saw Anakin visible relax and knew then he was hiding something. Just as he was about to ask, something exploded ten feet away from them.
The jedi ducked as another bomb came. They quickly stood up. Obi-Wan, Garen, and Qui-Gon took out their swords. Anakin looked at the shining metal in their hands. He was about to ask where he could find one when a hand grabbed his shoulder. He turned to find Chaisa, pale but angered.
She thrust a knife in his hand and whispered close to his ear," Use this. You had better come back to me." With that she was gone.
Anakin held the knife in defensive mode. He looked around and saw the others had left. Briefly he heard someone scream attack and a bunch of people running forward. He followed them and was soon swept into the battle. All around him bodies fell. Blood filled the grass and dirt.
The air was full of the smell of burned and charred flesh. He could hear screaming and crying coming from small children and ones who found their loved one dead. Absently he saw some women fighting along side of the men. He thrust his knife backward and the man fell backward. Anakin turned quickly to avoid being stabbed in the back of his neck.
He kicked the man in the stomach and and staightened. The man got back up again. He was bleeding freely as he thrust with all his might toward Anakin. Anakin swerved only to feel something sharp fall into his right collarbone. He yelled in anguish and pain and stabbed the new man. The two men fell dead and Anakin fell to his knees.
His vision clouded and he felt sick. He took a deep breath only to vomit everything he had ever ate in his life. He kept throwing up even after nothing was left. Anakin fell to his side and crawled away from his mess. Briefly he wondered why everything seemed so quiet now.
Qui-Gon turned his head to check on Garen and Obi-Wan. Garen was bleeding freely from a deep cut on his arm. Obi-Wan looked unhurt only slightly sick. Qui-Gon could understand why. The smell was horrible. Bodies lay everywhere, dead or dying.
Qui-Gon kicked one man in the small of his back. The man fell and didn't move. Qui-Gon closed his eyes and reopened them when he heard a yell nearby. The first thing that came to his mind was Ankin. Qui-Gon recognized that yell from anywhere.
Smoke swam thick and people fighting were everywhere. Qui-Gon tried to make his way through, but it was impossible. As quickly as the battle had started it ended. A man's husky voice sounded, "Retreat, fall back."
The newcomers all left and Chaisa's people were left. A lot of the villagers had fallen. Every now and then someone would come across a loved one and their would be hysteria. Qui-Gon walked to Obi-Wan who was helping a white Garen sit. Obi-Wan was trying to stop the blood flow on Garen's arm. As Qui-Gon looked closer at Obi-Wan he could see that the Knight was on the verge of collaspe himsself.
He looked around and saw that everyone was beyond exhaustion. "Obi-Wan sit down," he said sternly. "Garen's bleeding Qui-Gon, I can't stop it." "I'll..let me try."
Obi-Wan sat down by Garen as Qui-Gon took Obi-Wan's place. instead of standing he sat down as a women came near them.
"M'i am e dimec." i'm am a medic
She went to work stitching up Garen's arm. Soon he had color back to his face. "Thank you," he said weakly.
The woman smiled and left. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan stood him up. Garen wavered for a second, then gained his balance. They walked a few feet when Chaisa came upon them. She was holding a boy in her arms. Qui-Gon realized that the boy was hurt.
Chaisa said briskly," Here he had better not die. When he is fixed bring him to me."
She thrust the boy to them and Qui-Gon caught him. He turned the young one over and gasped. It was Anakin.
