Author's Note: Ok, here's the deal…the NJO timeline and I don't get along. So I borrowed the basic things from it to work with my story. So please no flames. Sorry it took so long for this chapter, but school and work started this week, so I've been busy. Plus I had to research for this chapter anyways. It may not be the best chapter…and I am sorry for that. But please enjoy!!!!

Chapter 13: Escape

"There's a Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. There are young children who are training to be come Jedi knights there. Also the daughter of the Jedi leader, Luke Skywalker, is there. If you get ahold of her, he will undoubtly comply with your wishes. And possibly turn over all the Jedi to you."

Nom Anor sat back and smiled. "Thank you Chief of State Fey'lya. I promise you that Bothawui will be spared."

Borsk Fey'lya simply smiled back. There were some groups that had to be sacrificed. And his fellow Bothans weren't part of that group, but the Jedi were.

Luke couldn't believe it. He absolutely couldn't believe it. The Yuuzhan Vong had made a statement that said that they would stop their invasion of the galaxy at the planet Duro, if all the Jedi handed themselves over to them.

"I think we should just go and destroy them all. We've already killed some of them! Let's keep going!" Kyp Durron stated during a meeting of all the Jedi on Courscant. Some of the Jedi agreed and others didn't. And this was when Luke knew for sure -- there was a rift in the Jedi ranks. And this was possibly the worse possible time for it. Eventually everyone did calm down.

"Where do you think that they will attack next, Master Skywalker?" Tenel Ka asked.

Luke sighed. "Honestly I don't know. But I do have a feeling that the Academy will be revealed to them soon and they will go there seeking the children who are training there."

"Why?" Anakin asked.

"The statement that they issued. That is just too disturbing."

All the Jedi agreed. "So what are we going to do?" Jaina asked.

"We're going to spread out and try to stop them as best we can. I know we already have lost some Jedi but we have to do this." Luke said.

There were some disgruntled Jedi and some who agreed. Once everyone had calmed down, they all figured out where they were going to go and they left. But instead of going where Anakin said he was going to go, he decided to head back to Yavin 4. His best friend, Tahiri Veila, was still there, along with Caylee. And he had a really bad feeling that something was going to happen.

"I don't think you should go, Anakin. Uncle luke will be upset." Jaina said pleading with him.

"I'll be fine. And I'll catch up later," Anakin said getting into his x-wing.

Jacen and Jaina watched him take off and fly away. "He'll be fine," Jacen said putting an arm around his sister.

"I know. But he's turning out to be so much like grandfather. Well that's at least what I've heard from Uncle Luke."

Jacen disagreed. "Caylee is like grandfather."

After the meeting with the Jedi, Luke had arranged a meeting with Talon Karrde.

"So you want me to go to Yavin 4 and evacuate the children there?" Karrde asked.

Luke nodded yes. "Booster Terrik will meet you there. Basically move the children off planet to the Errant Venture. And that's all."

"How many children are at the academy?"

About 25. Plus Caylee is there."

"That shouldn't take me many trips to do."

"Good." Luke said.

Karrde got up out of his seat and headed towards the door, and then he stopped and turned back to Luke. "Don't worry. Caylee will be fine."

"Thanks," was all that Luke said.

Caylee, Caitlin and some other Jedi trainees sat by and listened to Tionne's beautiful song about the Jedi Knights of long ago. The entire time Caylee kept seeing images of herself and an older man in her mind. She didn't know if they were memories or visions. But she didn't pay any mind to them. She had seen things like that before.

It had been a few weeks since she had seen her daddy. But she wasn't worried. She knew that he would live up to his promise of making the mean monsters go away. She couldn't wait to see him again and show him how much better she had gotten with her lightsaber training. And soon she would be able to go find Cray!

No matter how long they had been separated, Caylee still missed her brother dearly. They had always had a strong connection to each other and now it was like there was a void inside of her. And she longed to fill that void once again.

Earlier in the day, Anakin had arrived on Yavin and needed to talk to Kam in private. Caylee knew that it had to be important because they had been off by themselves for so long. Then she felt something through the Force. Anakin was worried about something.

"Tionne? Do you think the monsters will come here?" Caylee asked in the middle of the song.

Tionne stopped and smiled gently at Caylee. "Everything will be fine dear. Don't worry."

But Caylee wasn't buying it. She knew something was up.

"You look more like your mother each time I see you," Karrde said, picking up Caylee and walking towards Anakin, Kam and Tionne. Caylee blushed.

"Is everything ok?" she asked.

"For right now at least. Why don't you run along and go see some of your friends." Karrde suggested as he set Caylee down.

"Ok," she said running off.

"Caylee knows that something is wrong. We better get the children off planet soon." Tionne said once Caylee was out of sight.

"As soon as Booster gets here." Karrde said.

"Remember the Supreme Overlord wants the Skywalker child. She is the key to everything," the Yuuzhan Vong commander told his men.

"Yes sir," they all said.

It was pure chaos. Yuuzhan Vong ships were near by and Booster and the Errant Venture had just arrived. Everyone was scared, but none more then Caylee. He worst nightmare was coming true.

"Caylee run!!" Tahiri yelled at the little girl.

Caylee ran as fast as she could down the hallways of the Great Temple. She, Tahiri, Caitlin, Tionne, Kam, and Anakin were some of the last Jedis remaining on Yavin. Most of the children had already been taken off planet. But as this group was heading for their transport, the Yuuzhan Vong blew up their ship in front of them. That meant they then had to find a place to hide before another one could get down to take them off planet.

Suddenly there was an explosion. Tahiri grabbed Caylee to protect her from the debris. By the time the dust had settled, they were separated from everyone else.

"Tahiri…look behind you," Caylee softly whispered.

Tahiri turned around and was face to face with a Yuuzhan Vong warrior. They had been caught.

"We got to go back for them!" Anakin yelled. "If the Yuuzhan Vong get ahold of them, they'll kill them both!"

"We know! But we have to come up with a plan instead of rushing in there," Kam soberly said.

"Come Anakin, let's find a hiding place." Tionne said as she carried a scared Caitlin in her arms.

Anakin led them deep into the jungles of Yavin 4. He knew the Qorl, the TIE fighter pilot who had helped him before still resided in the jungle. He knew that there was a ship that he could borrow to mount an attack on the Yuuzhan Vong, while Kam, Tionne and Caitlin escaped. Then he could go and rescue Caylee and Tahiri.

Within a few hours, he and Qorl had gotten the downed ship operational. So that was how it was going to be done. And it worked. Kam, Tionne and Caitlin were now safe and off planet. It was all up to him to find Tahiri and Caylee. And he hoped that he wasn't too late.

"Take her to Nor Anor. He is awaiting her arrival," the Yuuzhan Vong commander said flinging Caylee towards one of his minions. She fell against the cold stones of the Great Temple. She could feel the swelling begin in her face from all sorts of bruises. "And take her to be used for experiments," he said referring to Tahiri, who was already passed out.

The last thing Caylee remembered before passing out was that she was being dragged away.

Someone please help me…please…she cried out into the Force.

Luke had never been so furious in his life. And if he was anywhere close to touching the dark side, then it was now.

"You where the one to sell out the Jedi?!?!" he demanded.

Fey'lya sat across from him with a smirk on his face. "Yes. Yes I did."

Luke clinched his fist and Fey'lya grabbed at his throat. "Do you know that my daughter is now in the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong? And if she dies because of you, I swear that I will come back and kill you myself." Luke said getting right in his face. "And I will never forget what you did."

He turned and walked out of the room, only to release his grasp on Fey'lya through the Force, after he had left the room.

Caylee slowly opened her eyes. She had no idea where she was or where she was going. All she knew was that she was going to die soon. Her nightmares were coming true. To comfort herself, she reached around her neck and felt the two gold rings. "Soon I'll be with mommy at least," she thought.

Suddenly the door opened and she was staring into the face of her captor. And he was really ugly. He grabbed her hair and pulled her out of the cell she was in, and then flung her up against the wall.

She curled up in a little ball and waited for her next beating, when unexpectedly the ship they were on, began to shake violently. So instead of beating on Caylee some more, the Yuuzhan Vong solider went back to the cockpit and tried to figure out what was wrong.

When it seemed that there was nothing that could be done, he returned and grabbed ahold of Caylee's hair once more. "What did you do girl! You are one of the Jeedi! You did something, didn't you??"

Caylee barely shook her head no. That was when he flung her against the wall again. She just lay there and didn't move. She could see him approaching her again. But then there was another jolt on the ship. They had hit something. And hit something hard.

Once again blackness surrounded her…

When she awoke again, she was lying in a heap of rubble. Sunlight poured against her. Was it all a dream? Then she turned her head barely and saw one of the ugly monsters next to her. She knew that this was her chance to escape. But where was she? But now wasn't the time to figure that out.

Caylee gently moved the rubble of the ship from around her and slid her tiny body out from underneath it all. She slowly moved away from the ship. The faster she walked, the more she hurt. She held her ribs as she limped away.

She was almost out of sight of the destroyed ship, when she could see the Yuuzhan Vong solider stand up and begins to come after her. She tried to pick up her pace and hide among all the trees on this planet, but the Yuuzhan Vong was gaining on her.

He landed with a thud against the ground on the planet Demetra. "I thought that was going to be softer!" he thought as he stood up and dusted himself off. But he didn't have time to think about his landing, he had other things to take care of first. His first task was to protect her and he hoped he wasn't too late as he broke out into a swift run through the forest.

Caylee looked behind her to see where the ugly white monster was. And he wasn't far behind her. As she turned back around and tried to regain her focus, she feel forwards and heard a snap! She didn't think anything of it at first until she tried to get up and try to run again. But instead she ended up sprawled across the ground. He left leg throbbed in pain. She knew that something was really wrong.

"You thought you could escape. But you were wrong!" the Yuuzhan Vong said as he reached for her.

Suddenly his body collapsed to the ground and his head soon followed. Caylee looked up at that had saved her. Standing there, hidden by the shades of the trees somewhat, was a tall man. He had blondish hair with streaks of gray here and there in it and had soft blue eyes. And in his hands was a lightsaber just like her daddy's. But this wasn't her daddy. It was the man who saved her in her dreams!

The man didn't say anything as he gently picked Caylee up off the ground and carried her away from the awful scene.

"Everything will be alright Caylee. Now rest…" the man whispered.

And that was what she did.
