Chapter 11: "Where am I?"
Tahiri woke up with a start. All she could remember was Anakin proposing, then Anakin going to go get firewood and then blacking out. After that she remembered nothing. Tahiri tried to get up, but became dizzy and fell back to where she had been laying the moment before. Two thoughts came to her mind then. *Where am I?* and *Where is Anakin?*
Suddenly a door at the far side of the room hissed opened. A tall women with long jet black hair and bright red-orange eyes walked in. She was wearing knee high boots, tight black pants and a tight dark midnight blue long sleeved shirt. The woman walked straight over to where Tahiri lay.
"Well, I see you finally decided to wake up." The accent in the female's voice reminded Tahiri of the Imperials accent. However, Tahiri quickly reasoned that this woman, whoever she was, couldn't possibly be with the Remnant.
"Where am I?" Tahiri asked weakly.
"You're on The Firestorm." The woman said.
"The Firestorm? Are you part of the Remnant?" Tahiri asked. Her only answer was the snarl and growl from woman. "Then you must be with the Galactic Alliance." Once again the woman growled from deep in her throat.
"I'm with neither. The Empire murdered my people and the Galactic Alliance sent my brother to his death." Pure fury was radiating from the woman.
"The who are you with?" Tahiri asked not sure if she wanted to know the answer.
"I'm with the Gai Chen Ka. Now swallow this. It'll cancel out the effects of the drug my counterpart used to knock you unconscious. By the way my name is Vera." Vera shot back as she handed Tahiri a vial of pale blue liquid. Tahiri swallowed the liquid in one gulp. The substance had the worst taste Tahiri could imagine. The liquid burned all the way down her throat, the burning sensation the spread throughout Tahiri's body. Soon Tahiri realized that her headache had subsided. Tahiri immediately concentrated on contacting Anakin through the force.
*Anakin! Anakin can you hear me?* She repeated this thought until she got an answer.
*Tahiri? Tahiri! Where are you?* Tahiri could tell she had made contact with Anakin.
*I'm on a vessel called The Firestorm you need to get me out of here. I don't trust these people.* Tahiri called out to him.
*The Firestorm? That's not a ship I'm familiar with. Are they smugglers?*
*No. The Firestorm is a ship in the Gai Chen Ka. A group that has joined forces against the Remnant and the Galactic Alliance.*
*Gai Chen Ka huh? Never heard of them. What would the want the Jedi though?*
*I don't know just get me out of here!*
*We're on our way Tahiri, just hold on. Do you have any idea where you are?*
*No.*
*Ok, just keep bright in the force and I'll find you.*
*Ok, I love you Anakin.*
*I love you too Tahiri*
With that the connection was severed. Tahiri opened herself to the Force just enough so Anakin could find her.
"You," Vera said, "If you're feeling better get up. Sai wants to see you."
The name's Tahiri, call me by that name and no other." Tahiri said with enough spite in her voice to make sure Vera understood.
"Very well, follow me." Vera moved through the door and headed for the cockpit. It was as Tahiri followed Vera that she felt the presence of another force user. She concentrated on the presence, it wasn't anyone she knew. This user was dark.
*I thought that all the Sith died out with Darth Vader.* Then she heard a voice and all she saw in her vision where two blazing clear blue eyes, everything else turned black.
*Come to me, you will soon see that there is much to fear.*
