A/N: Star Wars doesn't belong to me, it belongs to George Lucas. You should read A Jedi's Destiny first before reading this! I had a very hard time trying to figure out how many years it has been, but I finally did! R&R. Also, I meant to put "Runaway Jedi Apprentice", I think, for the chapter 2 part at the bottom of chapter one…

Chapter 2

Runaway Jedi Apprentice

When Renoa and Tristan returned, they found Kaden and Kaelin already sitting at the table, waiting for their parents to return before eating. Renoa glanced up at Tristan as they entered the apartment and made their way toward the table where warm food was waiting for them. A minute later, Cole followed behind but did not sit down at the table to eat. Instead, he stood leaning against a wall with his arms folded across his chest, thinking about the message that Kayne had sent him, and about the reaction his nephew would have when his parents banned him from going on the mission.
"So, what did you want to talk to Master Windthrower about?" Kaden asked.
Renoa hesitated and looked to Tristan, her eyes silently pleading for him not to make her be the one to say what they had to. Tristan looked from Renoa to his son and let out a breath, "We had to talk to him about your mission without him or any other Jedi Master with you…You see, your uncle Cole went on a mission to Korzac when he was your age. It was his first mission, and he was sent to Korzac with a group of Jedi students to check up on the Sith Prison there…he was captured, the only of his group, and was imprisoned for four years."
Kaden put his fork down and looked at his parents impatiently, "I already know that story, Dad. What are you trying to say? That you and Mom won't let me go on the mission just because Uncle Cole was imprisoned? How unfair can you be?"
"Kaden, it's not that simple. The man who captured your uncle . . ." Renoa started to say.
Kaden stood, looking at his parents, "What? He's a Sith? I know that, Mother. I'm not afraid of a Sith. I've trained my whole life to be ready for this kind of thing, to face a Sith, and now you won't let me go on the one mission that will prove that I'm ready for it just because of what happened before I was even born? I'm eighteen years old, Mother, and I'm not a child anymore. I'm going on that mission and there's nothing you can say, or do, to stop me."
"Kaden, what happened to me is something no one should go through. That Sith is still alive, and will do whatever it takes to see me in pain, which includes hurting those I love. I asked your parents not to allow you to go, because I don't want to see them in the pain your mother was in when I was a prisoner for those four years. Try to understand, Kaden, that this is for your own good," Cole said, looking at his nephew.
Kaden slammed the fork down on the table, "I don't care, Uncle Cole! I'm not afraid to face them. Say what you will, but it won't stop me from going on this mission. I've worked too hard to just past the chance up." With that, he turned away from his family, now staring at him in awe, and walked toward his room, slamming the door behind him.
Kaelin sighed, standing up and looking at her parents, "I tried to warn him…He's been looking forward to this trip for too long to just let you guys take it away from him. I'm preparing myself for having to face the same as him and not being allowed to go on the same mission." She turned and followed Kaden out of the dining room and toward his room, knocking on the door.
Renoa sighed, looking down at her plate. The words her son had spat out at them like a bantha spitting at a Sand Person of Tattooine. Her heart began to break as she realized she may have been making a mistake; she looked at Cole and knew she had made the right decision.
"He's a lot like you when you were his age, and she's not much different from me," She said, breaking the silence.
"Yes, but I didn't have outbursts like that, and I wouldn't have been so . . . angry about it," Cole said, unfolding his arms and moving to sit at the table.
"Times have changed, Cole. Things are different. They have parents, while we didn't. You were the closest thing I could've had to a father. We don't know that Kayne would go after Cole, or Kaelin for that matter, but I wouldn't want to take the chance if I could help it . . . maybe it wasn't such a good idea to ban him from going on the mission. I mean, he's almost nineteen, and he can take care of himself. Just by reaching the point where he not only dueled Master Windthrower, but is able to go on the mission proves that he's almost ready to become a Jedi Knight," Renoa said.
Cole looked at his sister and couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth, "Do you want your son, or maybe your daughter to go through what I did? Do you want to go through the same amount of pain, maybe even worse, that you did those four years because they're your children and they're being hurt, and there's nothing you can do about it? Kaden is strong, and is very close to graduating to Jedi Knight, but with Kayne still alive, I don't trust that Kayne won't pull a move to make some sort of threat to my family, which includes your children."
He shook his head before continuing, "Do what you want, Renoa; tell him he can go on the mission if you wish. I'm only your brother, and only went through four years of torture, so I can not tell you what to do with this." At the look on her face, seeing tears in Renoa's eyes from his harsh words, Cole started to say something, then stopped. He walked over to her and pulled her up, pulling her to his chest so he could hug her. "I'm sorry, sis . . . It's just . . . I know how much pain you were in when I was captured, and with them being your own children . . . I don't want to see you in that much pain again. I trust you and Tristan to be able to decide what's right for your children. I can't make any decisions for you."
Renoa nodded, hugging her brother, "I know, Cole. I hate seeing Kaden so angry at us, but I know it's the right decision. I just hope he doesn't do anything drastic."

"Kaden? Can I come in?" Kaelin asked from outside her brothers door.
"Sure," Kaden's voice answered.
Kaelin opened the door and entered, closing the door behind her. She found her brother sitting on the long window sill of the window in his room, staring up at the black sky with the twinkling stars and moon above. She walked over to him and moved to sit on the sill with him.
"Kaden, I tried to tell you. Uncle Cole received a message from that Sith, Kayne, and he said that he would bring Uncle Cole back to Korzac and turn him to the dark side. They're only doing this for your protection. Besides, there will be other chances for you to go on a mission by yourself," Kaelin said.
Kaden shook his head, "No, there won't. This is the kind of thing that you only get to take the chance for once in your life. After this mission, it won't matter anymore if you go with or without your Jedi Master. This is the one mission you're supposed to have to prove that you're ready to become a Jedi Knight. If they take this away from you, Kae . . ." he sighed, and looked back out at the sky.
Kaelin looked around his room and saw her brothers bags already halfway packed, sitting on his bed. She swallowed hard, looking back at him, "You're going to go, aren't you?"
Kaden looked at his sister, and saw the look in her eyes. He knew she didn't want him to get in trouble with their parents, and that she knew how much this mission meant to him.
"Yeah, Kae…I'm leaving tonight, when the others leave," he answered.
"Are you sure you want to do that, Kaden? Do you know how much trouble you could get into? Not only did mom and dad tell you not to go, but that means Master Windthrower won't allow you to go, either. Don't go, Kaden," Kaelin said.
"I have to, Kae. If I don't, I'll never prove to myself that I'm ready to become a Jedi Knight," he said, reaching out to take her hand into his.
Kaelin sighed. She licked her bottom lip, looking at her brother and leaning forward a bit, "Then let me go with you. You and I always talked about going off on our own without mom and dad, so why can't we do that now? If we get caught, I'll tell them it was my idea, and that I wanted to come. What do you say, Kade?"
Kaden hesitated, looking at his sister. He knew how much trouble they could both get in, but he also knew he hadn't been able to spend much time with her because of getting ready for the tournament.
"Alright, you can come. Go and pack your things," he answered.
Kaelin smiled, "Thanks, Kaden."

About two hours later, Renoa and Tristan walked to Kaelin's room, only to find no one there.
"Kaelin? Are you here?" Renoa called.
When she received no answer, she frowned and they moved toward Kaden's room, only to find no one in there either. All they found was a Holo spinning around on the table by Kaden's bed.
"Renoa, look," Tristan said, pointing it out.
Renoa looked over at the holo, and swallowed hard. Fearing Kayne had kidnapped their children, she ran toward it and pressed play, making a large image of Kaden and Kaelin appear.
"Hi, Mom, Dad. I guess if this is playing, you've found this already, which means you've found that neither Kaelin or I are in the Academy, or anywhere on Yavin 4. We left to go on the mission with the other students. I know Kaelin isn't old enough for that yet, but she wanted to come. We'll be back as soon as we can," Kaden's image said.
"Don't worry about us, Mom. We'll be fine. We love you," Kaelin said. The image disappeared, and Tristan and Renoa stared at the place where their images had stood before looking at each other.
"I'll . . . send a holo to Cole," Renoa said, her voice a whisper.
"And I'll go and find Maverick," Tristan said.
