Chapter 2-Ready for the Trials
Obi-Wan went back inside, with both R2-D2 and C-3PO following him. Both droids stayed in the living room, while Obi-Wan went to check on his daughter. He knew she had gone to her room. He could hear the teenage girl crying, as she sat on her bed. He walked into her room and he sat down next to her on the bed. "I sensed that you were upset about leaving."
She turned to him, with tears streaming down her face. "Yeah." She sighed. "Dad, I'm sorry. I do plan on going with you. I guess I'm just having trouble moving away from Mom. I mean, she's buried here." She looked away, feeling ashamed.
Obi-Wan sighed, as he wrapped an arm around his daughter's shoulders. "Kiara, it's time for me to get back. We are Jedi Knights. If the Council still was around, it would be time for you and your brother to face the trials. Your both ready. I've known that for a long time."
"Really? You really think Kieran and I are ready?" She asked, smiling a little.
"Yes, I do. I've been training you two ever since you were twelve. That was five years ago." He hugged her. "I'm very proud of both of you." He said.
"Thank you, Dad." She said, hugging him back. Then, she heard Luke's speeder return. "He's back. He's really sad, too."
"I know." He stood up and he left Kiara's bed room. She got up and followed him outside.
Luke was chatting with Kieran, as the droids came outside. They went over to where the Jawas had been lying in a smoldering pile. Their bodies were burned beyond recognition. "Who would do something like this? Sand people?"
Shaking his head, Obi-Wan said, "Sand people travel from side to side in order to hide their numbers. This was done by Imperial Storm Troopers." He glanced at both Kieran and Kiara.
"They killed our mother, too." Kiara admitted to Luke. Her voice had a touch of sadness in it, which prompted her brother to reach over and wrap an arm around her. She shot him an appreciative look.
This prompted Luke's decision. "I want to go with you to Alderaan. There's nothing here for me now. I want to become a Jedi like my father." He said, seriously. He was looking directly into Obi-Wan's eyes.
"All right. We'll need to go to Mos Eisley to arrange for a transport." He said. He glanced at his children. "I want you two to follow us in my speeder. Luke and I will take the droids with us. Do your best at keeping up with us. All right?"
"Yes, sir." The twins agreed.
Luke and Obi-Wan climbed into Luke's speeder. As soon as the droids climbed in too, Luke sped off. The Kenobi twins followed close behind in their own speeder.
