Thanks for the reviews! This is short chapter, but I have another one in the works, so don't worry. Enjoy!
Chapter 2.
"Anakin? Anakin, can you hear me? Anakin!"
Anakin's eyes flew open. Obi-Wan was kneeling down beside him. Looking around, he noticed that he was no longer in the cave.
"What happened?" he asked.
"That supposed comlink was actually a mine. Luckily, I pushed you out of the way almost a second too late."
"Thanks," Anakin said putting his hand gingerly to his head. He had a splitting headache that was bound to get worse. "Did you find them?"
Obi-Wan shook his head. "No. I contacted the Jedi council and told them of there disappearance. We all suspect that the Separatists are behind it, but we can't be sure."
"Can't be sure!" Anakin said exasperated. "Isn't it a bit obvious?"
"Anakin, this is a new planet. We don't know if there's anyone living here who doesn't want us here. There are many possibilities to their disappearance. Don't assume anything."
"Fine. You've made your point, but what are we going to do?"
"We are going to return back to Coruscant and get you some medical attention," Obi-Wan said pointing to his arm. "Your arm got pretty cut up when you went for that mine. I patched it up best I could, but it needs to be properly taken care of."
"Back to Coruscant! What about Saraah and Garen? We have to go find them," Anakin said trying to get up, but his body yelled in pain at his every motion.
"There are plenty of other Jedi searching for them, Anakin?"
"But-"
"Anakin, you need rest," Obi-Wan insisted.
Anakin sighed knowing that there was no way he was going to win this one. Admitting defeat, he lay down into the snow and looked up into the night sky wishing he was anywhere but there.
