"Will you answer some of my questions now?" Obi-Wan had been awake for a few hours. The jungle was now shrouded over by night, and a myriad of strange sounds rang through the trees.

The woman had started a fire with one of the many tools that Jud and Maarix carried. The two Gar'lyush warriors were still unconscious; apparently, the drug had taken a worse effect on them. Obi-Wan had used the Force to resist the drug.

Obi-Wan looked over to where the two warriors lay, and then back at the young woman. Her chestnut eyes gazed warily at him, as she continued to prod the fire with a stick.

"Depends. What do you want to know?"

Obi-Wan thought over the many questions he had, deciding which one would be most appropriate and less likely to push her away. He took a bite of his ration bar, one that the woman had found in Jud's satchel.

"What's your name?" He hoped she would answer, as it would make things a bit more comfortable. He had learned from Qui-Gon that it was best to question slowly.

She seemed to hesitate, but then stood up. She sat beside him, still prodding at the fire with her stick. "My name is Jaina. It's only fair that I get to ask you questions as well. What's your name?"

"I am Obi-Wan Kenobi. Now, my second question. You have a light saber. Are you a Jedi?" He turned to face her, imploring her for her answer.

Jaina hesitated again. "I...I'm a Light sider." She cocked her head sideways. She knew very well that that was not what he had meant.

Obi-Wan wasn't sure he entirely believed her. She had been filled with a bloodthirsty rage when she had leapt into the clearing to save them. Jaina looked up.

"What's it to you?" She growled, standing as if to leave. Obi-Wan grabbed her hand, stopping her.

"I'm sorry. I did not mean to offend you."





Jaina sat back down, letting the momentary build up of anger go. She knew that his assumption was easily justified. When she had attacked the warriors, her mind and body had been overflowing with raw and passionate hatred. It made sense that he would assume she was a Dark Force user.

She bit her bottom lip and looked away sadly. Jaina wished that Jacen was here. Or even Anakin.

But Anakin was dead. Jacen was gone from her senses, as was everyone else.

Except for Obi-Wan. The moment she had awoken, she had felt his presence. Without her consent, a strange Force bond had connected the two. Jaina forced up her mental walls. This would not happen again.

Jaina could feel his presence, as if it were right outside her mental walls, gently trying to get in.

"Look, you wouldn't understand what I'm going through. Please just leave me alone." Her own voice sounded hollow, empty of all emotion.

Slowly, she felt him leave her mind. With it went the only hope of comfort she had. But hadn't she just said she didn't want it?

And then, as the two sat there, the darts came whistling through the woods.

The two Jedi leapt to their feet faster than the blink of an eye. Even faster were their blades, cutting down the darts. Annoyingly, as she twisted to avoid the constant onslaught of darts, Jaina realized that the reinforcements had come. She mentally hit herself for not leaving earlier.

Soon, their attackers came into the clearing. There were at least twenty of them, not counting the horrible wolf like creatures that followed them.

Jaina's lips curled up into a snarl. She stood back to back with Obi-Wan as they circled, cutting down the darts. She reached into her heart, drawing out the hatred and anger. Yes, the darkness would help her fight.



Obi-wan felt the change in his companion and shuddered. She had lied. Only a Dark Jedi would call on the Force in such a way, through hatred. Obi-Wan looked at their adversaries. They would not be able to defeat so many. But Jaina didn't think so.

She screamed out, and leapt at the nearest warrior. She easily cut him down, deflecting the darts with a Force barrier. She spun on her heel, and rolled under the nearest beast. She cut open its bowels, and, kicking upwards, flung the carcass onto the next warrior.

Her efforts were futile. They would be overcome in a few more minutes. Obi-Wan fought none the less.

He ran up the nearest tree, flipping behind three of the Warra men. He kicked two of them to the ground, bring the hilt of his blade down on the head of the third.

'Death is not the only way out of a fight.' His master's words rung in his head. Obi-wan frowned as he twirled to avoid one of the beasts, which had leapt at him.

If they fought on, eventually one of them would be killed. There was no where to run. He couldn't just leave Jud and Maarix here to die. That left one possibility.

Obi-Wan dropped to his knees and deactivated his lightsaber. "I surrender!"

Jaina flipped backwards, taking out another warrior. "Jaina! Stop it! Please!"

It took all the will she had left in her to deactivate her blade. She slowly put her hands in the air, glaring daggers at Kenobi the whole time. Even in her rage, Jaina knew that she could not defeat them by herself.

The Warra stopped shooting. They warily approached the two Jedi. On of the smaller warriors came close to Obi-Wan. "Give...up?" He spoke in broken Basic. Obi-Wan nodded and put his lightsaber on the ground. Jaina followed suit.

"You better know what you're doing, Kenobi."

(Okay, yes, I know it was short! I will try to make the next one a whole lot longer! A LOT longer. Anyhow, REVIEW! I estimate this story will have about 14-20 chapters by the time I'm done, so yeah......................)
