Ok two things about this chapter.
Did I portray Qui-Gon right.
and yes not everything is star wars correct. Padawans never leave the Temple. I learned this after writing almost all I have so far and really cant change it so I'm not.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You wake up to find yourself in a clean white room in a soft bed with warm covers instead of outside still tied up. Trying to get out of the bed makes searing pain lance through your whole back forcing you to lay back down and wait for your vision to clear. You look around at your surroundings and find a door, a few cupboards and cabinets, a sink, another bed, thankfully empty, and a little table next to your bed with some steaming broth on it and a little hand mirror. You pick up the mirror and see you are still covered in dirt and grime. Lifting up your shirt you realize it's a different shirt and your back is bandaged. Looking back at the broth you're almost tempted to drink it, but you refrain at the thought of what retribution might be in store if you did. You're so hungry though that you almost can't resist the wonderful smell of the broth.
You are getting ready to reach for it when two Jedi Masters and a Healer open the door and walk in talking to each other. Quickly pulling you hand back you keep your eyes on the three men, studying them. The two Masters were both older and about the same height but had very different appearances. One was black with short, thick, curly, rich brown hair and brown eyes while the other was slightly tan with long brown hair reaching to around his waist with gray showing at the temples and soft green eyes. Both were muscular enough but looked like they had seen better days. The Healer was tall with long black hair that he kept tied at the nape of his neck, bottle green eyes staring back at you with a queer looking smile.
As they get closer to your bed they stop talking, the Jedi stand at the foot of your bed while the Healer comes and positions himself near the broth. He grabs your wrist and takes your pulse then pulls open a drawer in the table and takes out a little penlight. He shines it in one eye then quickly drops the light; he repeats this with the other eye. Putting the light back he notices the still full bowl of steaming broth and gives the Jedi a most peculiar look before asking, "Are you hungry?"
You shake your head blatantly lying.
"Are you sure?"
You nod your head.
"I know you're lying."
You just stare at him. He looks at the Jedi and sighs. Walking over he talks to the longhaired one in hushed tones so you can't hear. He finally walks back and states matter of factly, "We won't hurt you if you drink the broth. So will you drink it?" holding out the bowl.
You slowly reach up take it from his hands to see that yours are shaking so badly you are almost unable to hold onto the bowl without spilling it's contents. You bring it down to rest inches above your lap and stare at it. Finally you bring it up to your lips and take a sip before setting it on your lap tensing yourself for the blows that will surely come. When they don't you take another cautious sip and wait for the blows again. Again they don't come so you take another sip and another as tears slowly trickle down your face. When you finish you set the bowl down on your lap, lean your head back, and close your eyes, the tears finally stopping. The bowl is taken from your lap soon after and you open your eyes in time to see the Healer exit the room.
Closing your eyes you hear the two Jedi moving to either side of your bed and stop. One clears his throat and you open your eyes to see it was the black one. You are about to shut your eyes again when the one with long hair speaks, "If you would be so kind as to answer a few questions before going to sleep again I would appreciate it."
He had a nice voice, an almost familiar voice but you couldn't place it and decided it was nothing. You look up into his eyes waiting for him to start.
"What is your name?"
"Kamreya."
"How old are you?"
"16."
"Why were you being whipped?"
You just stare at him as an answer unwilling to lie to him for some reason but also unwilling to answer. You hear a small sigh escape from between his lips.
"Ok. Do you know what this is?" he asks while pulling out your father's lightsaber.
You just stare at it in disbelief your eyes getting bigger.
"I'll take that as a yes." He holds it out for you to take.
You hand quickly shoots out from your lap and snatches it from his hand and brings it back down to your lap where you proceed to run your hands over the familiar object.
"Who were the people in the yard with you?"
Again you stare in response.
The other Jedi speaks up this time his voice sharp, "I will take the item from you if you do not answer the question and future questions immediately."
"My step-family."
"The other question!"
"This." you say as you look down at the lightsaber.
"Do you have any questions?"
"When can I leave?
The longhaired one looks at the other Jedi and you can tell there is a silent conversation going on between the two. Finally he looks back down at you and you can tell they don't plan on letting you go back. You bolt off the bed ignoring the pain and run out the door to find yourself in a long hall that seems to go on forever. You turn right and keep running until you hit the end and turn left. You can hear the two Jedi giving chase. At the next t-off you turn right and go to the end to find an elevator. Seeing it will take too long you look for a stairwell. Seeing it you charge down the flights taking three steps at a time. Jumping down the last flight you turn left and see the entrance. You run headlong for it only to find yourself cut off by a two-foot tall green guy who raises his hand and commands, "STOP!"
You screech to a halt sliding on the polished floor to stop a foot from him. Your eyes are locked with the green man's but you can still hear the Jedi come to a halt behind you panting a little from the exertion. You also feel the eyes of everybody around you directed at you as they stop to see what all the commotion is about.
"Why do you want to leave little one?"(Yoda speech)
"I was told not to leave home under any circumstances," you cry.
But what if your father would want you to stay here, hmm? I knew your father since he was a young boy. He would want you to stay here trust me.
"Are you sure?" you sob.
"With all my heart."
You sink to the ground crying with relief. You had not wanted to go back but had to because you had promised your father, you have never broken a promise to your father. There had be only one condition to this promise and that was if anybody had known him since he was a child and said they thought he would want her to stay somewhere else. The promise was then off.
Picking you up the longhaired Jedi carries you back to your room. You fall asleep soon after he sets you back on the bed, finally realizing that he reminds you of your father.
Padawan
Coming out of his slumber the Padawan opens his eyes to a familiar room, his own room. It was covered in dust a there were heaps of dirty clothes all over, but that was from being gone for almost a year and getting back only a few days ago. And even when they did get back they were piled high with work and no time to clean their flat.
He has only a headache and sore muscles as proof that it wasn't all just a dream. He is barely dressed before his Master, Qui-Gon Jinn walks into his room with questions sprouting continuously from his mouth about the woman he had stumbled in with, "Where did you find her? What happened to her? Why is she so thin and dirty? Who is she? How'd you meet her? ......"
He just stares at his Master with a look of complete confusion and dumbly says, "What?"
"Sorry Obi-Wan I got a little too carried away, but just seeing her once piqued my curiosity and I can hardly wait to find out about her she reminds me of someone I used to know. The only reason I didn't wake you up to ask about her is because Danny informed me that you needed undisturbed sleep."
"It's alright Master just ask one question at a time though please."
"Ok. Where did you meet her?"
"While patrolling in the lower level of Coruscant. I happened upon her in a fight with some Vipers."
"What happened to her?"
"She was whipped by an older woman. There was a young girl and an older man watching the whole thing."
"Why is she so thin and dirty?"
"Dunno."
"Do you know who she is?
"No."
"Did she have anything with her?"
"No but when I got her there was this oblong metal object on the ground near her. Let me go get it." Rummaging around his bed his hands finally hit cool metal and he grabs it and hands it to his Master.
"Interesting. Do you know what it is?"
"No though I wish I do. I first thought it was a lightsaber but I can't turn it on."
"Thank you Obi-Wan. You can go get something to eat if you wish, I have some business to attend to with Master Windu and the young woman."
"Ok. See ya later."
Exiting a few moments after his Master, Obi-Wan went down to the mess hall and got himself some food. Obi-Wan wasn't the most liked among the other Padawan but the friends he had, he trusted with his life. One of those friends was the Twi'lek Sonora, another Padawan. Her Master and his were close friends so they sparred against each other and did most of their missions together as well. Finding her at the mess hall was a relief for he needed a friend to talk to right now.
"Hey Sonora! How are you doing?"
"Hello Ben! I'm doing great. How 'bout you? We haven't had much time to see each other with all this patrolling of the dumps."
"I'm ok. Yesterday wasn't exactly the best day of my life!" finishing the rest of his eggs Obi-Wan stands with Sonora and puts his tray away, "I'll tell ya about it on the way to the Library. I need to research an unusual object I came across."
