Snowprincess, don't start hurting yourself. This story still has a while to
go, so just relax. If you can! *wicked grin*
Chapter 4: An Unwelcome Arrival
A vibrating humming woke him sometime later. Obi-Wan slowly opened his eyes, looking around in the darkness. He felt dizzy, his head throbbing with fresh pain. He moved his hand to wipe his forehead, only to realize that they were bound behind him.
Fear raced though his mind as he suddenly remembered what had happened. He struggled slightly, twisting in his bounds, trying to break them loose, but with no success.
"You may as well stop trying my young friend. It is no use, in the end it will do you only more harm than good," Obi-Wan froze at the sound of Xanatos' voice. He watched as his form moved in front of him.
"Where am I," he asked hoarsely. His throat was dry and Obi-Wan dimly realized that he must have been in Xanatos' hold for a few days now, and that he had become dehydrated. That fact alone could be the very reason why he felt dizzy.
Xanatos smiled softly. "Don't worry yourself about it. Soon you will be in the safety of my men. There no one will be able to find you," the tone in his voice was enough to make him shiver, but he held his eyes steady.
"And where is that?" he questioned. "There is no need for you to know. Now my young friend, rest while you can." He left the compartment, the door allowing a brief amount of light before casting him back into darkness.
Dimly Obi-Wan realized that he must be on a ship of some kind, or at least he thought so. His mind was wasn't cooperating, and Obi-Wan found himself falling back into darkness as his head came to rest on the cold metal.

Andra was waiting for Qui-Gon by the landing zone when he arrived. Her cheerful smile was wiped away when she saw him, and she had to run in order to keep up with his long stride. Qui-Gon shortened his pace, though he did not wish too. He felt that with each passing minute, precious time was lost, and so was the chance to find his padawan.
"What brings you here?" Andra asked, "They simply said that you were coming, but did not state any reason why." Andra looked around, "And where is Obi-Wan?" Qui-Gon gave a sigh.
"That is the reason why I have come," he said softly. "Obi-Wan was kidnapped, a few days ago, Xanatos took him." Andra looked up sharply. "But he's dead!" she stated. "That's what he wanted us to think," he said sadly.
"You think he's here?" she asked softly. Qui-Gon shrugged his shoulders. "The truth is I have no idea where he would be. I came here in hopes to find any clues to how he may of survived," he stated.
"Qui-Gon, we cleaned up that entire area, everything was checked over, there was nothing to be found," she said softly. "Maybe so, but sometimes the most helpful clues are in plain sight," he said, clinging onto the only hope he held.
Andra sighed, "Well come back with me, I will have refreshments made.." "No," Qui-Gon cut her off. "I don't want to waste any time. I am heading over to the pools now."
