Chapter 2-
The sun had already begun to go down when Qui-Gon had decided they
stop for the night. Anakin, who was feeling on the verge of collapse,
whole-heartedly agreed. Obi-Wan nodded, looking very burnt.
So here they sat shivering in the coldness of the desert. They ate a
small dinner and sat back. Qui-Gon started to meditate and Obi-Wan
closed his eyes, falling asleep. Anakin stayed awake wanting more than
nothing to find this place they were looking for.
They had walked all day long with no clue as to where to find this
underground place. They had stopped for many breaks under rare trees
that seemed to pop up whenever needed. Their water was almost out,
even though they were suppossed to have found this....hideout by now.
Anakin sighed and snuggled more inside his cloak. He glanced out into
the desert when something caught his eye. A steel looking wall stood
in the desert. Anakin blinked but the structure didn't go away.
Looking at his masters, Anakin slowly crept away. As he got closer he
kept hoping it wasn't fake or his mind playing tricks on him. A few
minutes later Anakin was right in front of it.
He reached out his hand and his hand met the coldness of the steel
wall. Anakin smiled and turned around to go back and tell his masters
but a noise of someone breathing stopped him.
Anakin turned around and his eyes went wide. A blackened shadow
hovered where he had just been standing. Anakin slowly backed away,
but the shadow followed. It spoke to him in a husky child-like voice.
"I am so sorry friend, but you shall find doom."
Anakin was then engulfed in black smoke and he coughed as it went down
his windpipe. Stars floated in his eyes and he fell to his knees. As
soon as Anakin felt darkness coming the smoke stopped. Anakin looked
up but the shadow had disappeared. Instead a woman was there looking
very worried.
"Are you alright? Did the smoke...did it get you, too?"
Anakin coughed and said," My name is Anakin."
The woman sighed.
"You're one of the jedi aren't you. Where's the others?"
Anakin pointed and stood up with the help of her hand.
She peered into his face and said," Did it get you?"
Anakin nodded and she trembled. She squeezed him in a hug and said in
anguish," I'm so sorry dear child. Dear spirits why...why one so
young?"
Anakin pulled away and said," What are you talking about?"
The woman looked at him and said," My name is Lin. Come let's go get
your friends and I'll explain."
"Yes," Lin answered softly to Obi-Wan," Deathly ill. So far it has
only been adults no younger children have been infected by it...until
now."
Qui-Gon looked up. "Until now? What do you mean?"
Anakin swallowed and muttered," I was...I'm that..child."
Qui-Gon looked to him and Obi-Wan's face showed worry and fear.
The latter looked at Lin and said," Please tell us what this sickness
does."
Lin looked at them in honest pain.
"Alright..I reluctantly tell you..for your own safety."
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
