In a dark alley a small blonde haired boy huddled against a stone wall wrapping his thermo cape around himself as he tried helplessly to shield himself from the cold. Anakin huddled in a small ball trying to go to sleep. He had been on the run the whole day. Not daring to stop. He had used the credits he had to but lunch and dinner, junk food mostly. He had skipped breakfast in its entirety. He still had some money but not much. Not nearly enough to get him off planet, especially back to Tatooine.

His padawan braid tickled his cheek and he shifted position to flick it out of the way. He hadn't removed it yet. Anakin wasn't even sure why. He still half hoped that Obi-Wan would go looking for him. He still half heartedly hoped that his master would just appear and take scoop him into a hug. He had always looked up to Obi-Wan. Always tried to be his friend. Obi-Wan only shut him out.

FLASH BACK

"Come on. Just talk to me about it! You'll feel better…I promise" Anakin urged handing Obi-Wan the hot mug of tea he had made for him.

Obi-Wan took the cup from his padawan with a grateful smile. "Anakin, I don't care to discuss my feeling on this matter with a stranger."

"A stranger?" Anakin felt the numbness course through him at Obi-Wan's coldness. "But I'm your apprentice. I'm your friend!"

"You are my padawan. That doesn't make you my friend."

Anakin felt tears come to his eyes. He struggled to control them. "Well you're my friend. I care about what's happening to you."

"Padawan, it5's time for you to go to bed."

"You always send me away when I'm trying to help."

"I don't NEED your help. And if you want to help then go to bed for Force sakes!"

"Yes, Master" Anakin murmured as he slid off the edge of the Coffee table and headed for his room.

END FLASH BACK

Yes, Obi-Wan had been drinking that night but he wasn't exactly drunk. Anakin shivered. Worse things happened when Obi-wan got drunk in the first couple of months after he started training him. Then he learned to control his temper…and his drinking.

Anakin sighed whispering a "good night" to himself closed his eyes forcing himself to clear his mind of his jumbled thoughts and go to sleep.

"Anakin Skywalker."

Anakin started. In less then a second he was on his feet with his lightsaber, activated, in his hand. The light blue of his 'saber gave off a ghostly light in the pitch black alley.

Anakin peered frantically through the darkness trying to distinguish the source of the hissing voice that had called his name. At first he thought it was a dream but then he sensed a presents. One he wasn't sure he liked.

"Who are you" Anakin asked keeping his voice steady. His lightsaber made his glinting eyes seem unnaturally blue. They seemed to glow just like his weapon.

"Just call me Sam. I'm here to help you" came the hissing voice.

"Why?" Anakin asked boldly.

"You are cold and tired I suppose. Hungry?"

"Umm" Anakin gulped. "Why do you want to help me? And how do you know my name anyways?"

"Aren't you a Jedi padawan?"

"Yea so?"

"I have an interest in the Jedi."

"That still doesn't tell me why you want to help me" Anakin protested suspiciously. His eyes had adjusted now and he could make out a figure standing in front of him. I seemed to be hooded.

"Well you must me on a mission since you are out here all by yourself and not at the temple. I offer help to the brave Jedi. Tell me aren't you a little young to be on a mission alone. Where is your master?"

"I'm not on a mission" Anakin confessed reluctantly. "I don't live at the temple anymore."

:'Where do you plan to go then, young Jedi?"

"None of your business" Anakin replied sharply.

There was a sharp intake of breath from the other and Anakin tightened his grip on his lightsaber. "Well then spend the night."

"How do I know I can trust you?"

"Use your senses."

Anakin reached out through the Force. He couldn't feel much from the other but he blamed it on his lack of skill. He did not, however, feel a threat in the other nor deceit. "Alright" Anakin complied finally.

In the darkness Darth Slithiouse grinned in satisfaction.

"There's a song that's inside of my soul

It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again

I'm awake in the infinate cold..."

(Mandy Moore "Only Hope")

A/N: And so the evil plot of the Sith begins! What will they do with Ani? Will Obi find him? Hehe review guys and we'll keep each other happy :)
