Okay okay, settle down everyone, and please snowprincess, don't loose your
sanity. That wouldn't be very good. And yes, I know that it was short
Felealian. (rolling my eyes if you even care) Okay then, here is the second
chapter
Chapter 2: An Unexpected Turn
Xanatos smiled cruelly, his hold on Obi-Wan tightened as Qui-Gon drew near. "Don't come any closer. You know I'll do it Qui-Gon, you know I will," he taunted softly. Qui-Gon stopped his forward movement, his eyes resting on Xanatos'.
"Let him go, your quarrel is with me," he spoke almost as softly as Xanatos, taking yet another step toward him. Xanatos quickly brought his lightsaber up quickly, scarping it lightly against Obi-Wan's cheek, so that it burned slightly. Obi-Wan bit his lip to keep from crying out, but Qui- Gon could easily see that he was in pain. His heart quickened as he stopped, backing slightly off.
"Oh I don't know about that," He said once Qui-Gon had backed off. Qui-Gon closed his eyes, sighing inwardly. "Let him go," he said, saying each word forcefully, as if their sharpness would release the grip that held his padawan. He saw Mace Windu step up besides him, his lightsaber drawn, the pale purple glow pulsing slightly. Behind them more Jedi knights ran in, and quickly noticing the situation, drew their weapons, and surrounded Xanatos and Obi-Wan quickly.
"Your out-numbered," Qui-Gon said. Xanatos just smiled, "Yes, I am." Qui- Gon did not like the tone in his voice. For some reason or another, he was not afraid of the situation he was in. Then again he may have been hiding it. Qui-Gon knew that Xanatos had always been good at concealing things. He knew that all too well. There had been a time when that trait had almost destroyed an entire planet. Now he was more cautious.
"What do you want?" Qui-Gon asked, not taking his eye's off Xanatos. "Tell the others to back off, and surrender their weapons." He motioned toward the lake. For a moment no one moved. That had been the last thing from Qui- Gon's mind, but he was saved from answering when Mace Windu spoke. "Do as he says," he told them softly, disarming himself, throwing his weapon so that it landed in the lake. He knew what Xanatos would do if they refused, and that was not what he wanted to see happen. Slowly the others disarmed themselves backing away from the two. Qui-Gon however, would not. He gripped his lightsaber tightly, feeling the heat pulsing from it.
Xanatos watched him warily. "You too," he warned him coldly. "Do as he says Qui-Gon," Mace Windu said softly yet with a tone that demanded that he listened. But Qui-Gon would have nothing of it. "I will not abandon my padawan to death," he said slowly. Xanatos laughed. "Oh don't worry. I don't plan to kill him. In fact I have something much better in mind."
Qui-Gon saw Obi-Wan stiffen at these words, the very same stiffness he felt in his heart. What could Xanatos possibly want with Obi-Wan? The answer then came very clear. Xanatos wanted to get revenge for what he had always blamed Qui-Gon for, though he was not to be blamed. And what better way than to do so than by harming the ones closest to him. Slowly Qui-Gon deactivated his lightsaber, letting it fall to his side. Satisfied Xanatos grabbed Obi-Wan roughly by the back of his neck. "Stand you slug," he yelled at him, pulling him up forcefully. "I am sorry Qui-Gon, but I'm afraid that we must be going," he said, pushing Obi-Wan in front of him.
Qui-Gon took a step toward them, but Mace Windu held him back. Xanatos mad his way over to the sidewall, overhead was an open window. With an easy jump, he pulled Obi-Wan up with him to the window, pausing for a moment and turning to the others down below. "It's been great. I'll see you later. And that," he said, pointing at Qui-Gon with his finger, "is a promise."
With a sudden turn, he jumped out the window, disappearing from sight. Desperation surged through Qui-Gon as he raced after him. But when he arrived at the window, there was no sign of them.
