Here's more! All characters except a few belong to George Lucas.
Oh and sorry if it's redundant. This is one thing I am probably going to change.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do I have to do this? I really don't get the point of patrolling the dumps of Coruscant. They say it's for our training as a Jedi, but what does it do to help us other than to get us acquainted with boredom. I've been doing this for a week. Nothing ever happens. No fights between the Vipers and the Rattlesnakes all the time like there was rumored to be. All there was was low life scum that weren't worth helping out.
"What do you want from me?" spat a woman's voice.
"We just want to talk to you" was said sarcastically by a deep male voice.
"Yeah we just want to talk" a higher pitched male voice said agreeing with the other male.
The voices were coming from around the corner in front of him. Sticking his head slowly around the corner he sees ten Vipers surrounding a thin and dirty looking young woman with groceries in both hands. He decided to see what was going to happen. They just sat there until he thought they were all dead or something. Then from each side a Viper attacks the girl, the girl just waits and then dispatches them each with a spinning kick that breaks both of their necks. She barely has time to land when four more are on her. She quickly drops down to a crouch and spins with one leg out tripping three. The fourth jumps out of the way and quickly lands a kick to the face of the girl before retreating. The girl takes a small dagger from her boot and kills the three downed Vipers.
There were two Vipers on the side closest to him and three on the far side.
I might as well help out. The girl looks like an interesting person to get to know. Plus I'd like to know where she learned to fight like that.
Running from around the corner he takes out the two on his side, but before he has time to say anything she takes one look at him, picks up her groceries, and quickly dispatches the other three Vipers and is about to disappear around the corner when he uses the Force to try and calm her down and reassure her everything is alright. As soon as he makes contact pain then blackness consume him.
Waking up he finds himself in an attic on a floor mat type bed with a horrendous headache. He slowly eases himself up and onto his feet bracing himself against the wall with one arm waiting for the ache in his head to subside.
Ok the girl must have taken me home to her house. Guess she has a heart cause she didn't leave me to be killed by the Vipers.
Looking around he sees lots of chests stacked upon one another, a small three drawer dresser with a couple candle stubs and a few matches on it, a couple windows and a door at the opposite end of the room.
He slowly walks over and tries the door to find it unsurprisingly locked and tries to use the Force to unlock but finds the Force not there.
What the hell? Why can't I use the Force? I guess that's a question I'll have to ask her.
Bending down on both knees he opens a chest and finds old quilts, another contains clothing, another some more quilts, and he soon realizes they all contain clothes and quilts. Getting up from his knees he walks over to the dresser and searches through the drawers and finds nothing but odds and ends nothing too interesting.
Plopping himself back on the bed his tail bone connects with a hard oblong object. Jumping back up he covers his mouth to suppress a yelp of pain as he digs through the covers and pulls out a stout metal cylinder with knobs at the end. Staring at it he realizes with a shock that it is a lightsaber, a weird looking one but a lightsaber nonetheless.
Man, this is weird. I was right though, she is interesting and I haven't even talked to her yet. When she comes up she better be ready to answer some questions.
He starts pacing, waiting for her to come up to check on him.
Something just doesn't fit. Why is this room so shabbily furnished? I mean this is her house right? And her family? I would think it would look a little better. And what's with the bed? If you can call it that. Maybe this is just an attic and not her room and the bed was just makeshift. That sounds about right but for one thing. What was the lightsaber doing there? Oh well all I can do is wait for her and ask.
He keeps pacing and waiting, pacing and waiting for what seemed a couple of hours before he heard the door creak open. Turning around he sees the girl from before with some food. After she shuts the door he asks, "Who are you, why am I in an attic, what happened to me, and why can't I feel the Force?"
In a whisper she replies, "This is my room, I have blocked you from using the Force, nothing happened to you, and you must leave immediately before my family finds you. Please don't talk so loud."
Why is she whispering and why can't her family find me? I'll just leave those questions for later. I've got more important questions to ask her.
"I will not leave until all my questions are answered. First off, why do you have a lightsaber?"
She gasps when he pulls out the lightsaber and quickly makes a grab for it but he pulls it away before she can lay a hand on it. She starts yelling at him to give it back to her when he hears feet pounding up the stairs. She quickly grabs the lightsaber from him and pushes him out the window.
You
"Get going, now! Here is some food, take it and leave. When you feel the Force don't try and connect with me. Now, go!"
You shut the window and turn around just as your stepmother opens the door. She just stands there glaring at you for a few seconds before scanning the room for anything unusual. Finding nothing she turns back to you, "What was all the noise from?"
"Nothing. Just from on of the chests falling. That's all." As you finish you realize she's not looking at your face anymore but seems more interested in what's in your hands. You realize you hadn't hidden the lightsaber.
You turn white as she calmly, too calmly, lifts her gaze to yours and asks, "What's that you have there?" You don't respond as she slowly walks toward you. You can't even move an inch as she grabs the lightsaber from your hands and inspects it. Her eyes widen as realization of what it is hits her. She hisses and grabs you by the arm. You're in for it now. You know because of the wicked gleam in her eyes she had as she grabbed for you.
She drags you down the stairs and outside into the back yard along the way you prepare yourself for the pain that lies ahead of you. As she ties your hands and feet spread-eagle between two posts the tears are already flowing down your face. The tears aren't for what your step-mom has in store for you; it's for your father's lightsaber that was now in the hands of your stepfamily. You faintly hear your step-mom call for the rest of the family while she gets the whip. The punishment starts as soon as they arrive. They don't know what I'm being whipped for; frankly they don't give a shit. They are there for entertainment purposes only.
The first strike feels far-off and distant quickly bringing you back to reality though. The second feels like a particularly nasty paper cut. The third you can feel the flesh on your back being sliced open. The fourth blends in with the rest as you concentrate on staying conscious and trying not to scream with pain.
She whips you viciously for what seems like years before she finally stops huffing and puffing for air. You never gave her the satisfaction of hearing you scream or plead for mercy and you definitely won't give her the pleasure of seeing you black out from the pain she was causing. Only after she enters the house do you succumb to the welcoming blanket of darkness. As your chin slowly falls to rest on your chest you see something sparkle on the ground to the side of you, but you have no time to think upon it before the darkness claims you.
Padawan
He looks through the window to see an altercation between the woman and the young woman that ends in the younger woman being dragged off by the older. Serves her right he thinks before clambering down the side of the house and making his way back to the Temple. She wasn't very polite in fact she had been very rude to him. He hadn't gotten more than a quarter mile away before waves of pain hit him through the Force with such magnitude that he almost threw up. They were coming from the girl's house. He had half a mind to keep walking and ignore it but for two simple little facts. He sorely wanted to meet this interesting young woman, no matter how rude she may have been, and that the pain was in the Force and not just a strong emotion he picked up using the Force.
Standing still with his indecision another wave hit him solving his dilemma immediately. Heading back to the house he went around to the back. He found an ivy covered brick wall tall enough to intimidate most burglars but not too daunting for a trained Jedi Padawan. Using the Force to tackle the wall he steadied himself and looked into the backyard to find a most wickedly cruel scene below him. The young woman was tied spread-eagle between two posts while the older woman was whipping her back viciously. The clothes on the young woman's back were tattered making the whole shirt threaten to fall off. It wasn't until he tore his eyes from the horrid scene did he notice the girl and man standing by the back door and watching the whole spectacle with a hint of delight and exhilaration on their faces. It was too sadistic to linger on.
Watching the whole scene something struck him as weird about what he saw, or maybe what he heard or lack there of. He wasn't hearing any screams of pain or pleadings of mercy. How could she just sit there and take this in silence? A Jedi Master wouldn't be able to go through this without screams of pain. Looking again at the horrifying scene below the Padawan leans over the edge of the wall and vomits until there is nothing left of his lunch. Spitting out the after taste of vomit he looks back down on the whipping to find the two watchers vanished and the older woman tiring her breaths ragged. He watched as she stopped, dropped the whip and stood there as if waiting for something before entering the house. By this time it was well into the night and the Padawan was late for dinner at the Temple. He knew he would be scolded for his absence but the woman was in trouble and he couldn't just leave her there.
After making sure the older woman wasn't coming back out again, he dropped into the yard cursing under his breath as he slightly twisted his ankle upon landing. He quietly and quickly made his way over to the strung up woman to find she had finally passed out after the older woman had left. Carefully he cut through the ropes holding her feet to the posts with a pocketknife then went to work on her hands. Once he cut the last hand free she fell on toppled onto him. If she hadn't been so light he probably would have fallen, but she was as light as a feather thankfully. Even though he was grateful for her lack of weight he was also concerned with it. Adjusting her so she is easier to carry he sees the lightsaber from before on the ground and decides to get it before leaving. With girl and lightsaber he quickly Force jumps the wall and starts the long walk back to the Jedi Temple.
Arriving at the Temple Gates was the exhausted young Padawan with the young woman draped around his shoulders. The girl had gotten surprisingly heavy about half way through the trip and at several points after he had had to stop and catch his breath before resuming his walk. The girl was barely breathing and it seemed she could slip into death at any moment. His cloak was covered in her blood that had been slowly but steadily oozing out of her back. After inspecting her back while catching his breath he found that he could see almost all of her ribs. If he had not been as tired as he was he probably would have purged his stomach of its few remaining contents.
He was barely able to open the gates without dropping the woman but somehow he managed. He made it to the front doors but had no strength left to move let alone open heavy oak doors. He just stood there hoping someone felt his presence outside. Thankfully someone did feel his tired presence. It was a young Twi'lek girl who felt his presence through the Force. The padawan saw the door open with a shy girl hiding half way behind and with great difficulty got out two words "Please help" before crashing to the ground with exhaustion.
The girl screams for help. You can't really make out what she's saying through all the sobs but you feel the weight lift off your shoulders and voices swirling around your head before you join the young woman in darkness.
