Chapter Five: Lessons

It had been a few weeks sense Re-See had arrived on Coruscant, Kaitlynn had been putting him through the basics as the Masters had asked. She had re - taught him many of the basic Force skills, as well as a few new ones he had never thought of before. An opportunity to release the virus had not yet come, but he did know where the water system of Coruscant was at, it was just a matter of getting there. Re had noticed that Kaitlynn was unlike the other Jedi; in fact she was unlike anything Jaquas had said the Jedi would be like. He liked her, he would admit that. She had a strong will and was an excellent fighter; she had taught him a few new defensive moves with a lightsaber as well.

But now the time of the basic Force skills and lightsaber moves was coming to an end, the hard part of this training was about to began: the mental aspects of being a Jedi. Even if Kaitlynn was different she was still brainwashed like the rest, she would try to make him learn the ways of a Jedi. He would put on a good show for her and the rest.

Re-See walked silently down the hall to the meditation chamber and walked through the door, his eyes surveyed the room and he saw Kaitlynn was the only one there. He assumed she had either asked that no others come here today, or they were the only Master and "Padawan" in here today. Re walked slowly up to her and sat in front of her with his legs crossed, her eyes were closed but she spoke softly.

"Say the Code with me, Re. There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no death, there is the Force."

Re did as he was told and repeated it, he knew how to take orders; he had learned that lesson well many years ago. He watched her face silently then she opened her eyes and he simply stared at him, she gave a smile and spoke again.

"Relax Re. You need to be at peace with this training. Until I feel you are at peace with the Force we won't continue, even if we have to sit here all night."

Re saw a small smile form at the edge of Kaitlynn's mouth but he ignored it. He closed his eyes and focused on the Force, he allowed it to flow through him and calm his soul, something he had never done before. He knew instantly his body was being invaded by the Light Side of the Force, but he had no choice but to allow it to do so. He knew when he released the virus into the water system all traces of the Light would be washed away, that brought a smile to his face.

Kaitlynn's remark made the smile vanish as quickly as it had come. "What are you smiling about Re?" The young man shook his head and waited silently, finally she continued with the lesson.

"Do you know why we are Jedi Re-See? We are Jedi because we have the ability to use the Force, and it is our duty as Jedi to protect those who need protecting." Re listened silently and took in what she said; in the years to come he would be able to use that against them. He continued to listen as she spoke, but what she said next shocked him.

"Now here's my question to you Re, do you need protecting?"

Re-See opened his eyes and stared at her, his voice was just above a whisper. "What do you mean?"

Kaitlynn opened her eyes and offered a smile, "The question is simple Re: do you need protecting?"

Re tried to find another meaning but couldn't, he simply shook his head puzzled by the question. He saw Kaitlynn's smile vanish and she spoke more quietly. "Many are made into Sith because they have a false reality of what real Jedi actually are, the ones who taught these Sith fed lies to their apprentices, thus making them hate Jedi. Do you understand Re?"

Re-See felt alarm rush through him but when he felt no danger of any sort he realized she was only saying this because she had been told too, he was quiet for a while as if to think, then he nodded. "I understand. But no Master Sunfire, I don't need any help, I'm perfectly fine with you." He saw her eyes seem to light up and he realized he hadn't said the Jedi, he saw a small grin flash across her face and he added after he few moments, "And the Jedi."

After a few hours of philosophy training that Re simply ignored Kaitlynn final stood and left, leaving him in the chamber by himself. He thought for a long time, but his thoughts mostly drifted to Kaitlynn, he shook his head and dismissed any thought of her. If he became attached to her then that would turn him away, he knew what he was: a Sith. He could have no attachment to anything, especially a woman. If she was going to be a problem he'd kill her before he grew to attached, he would do what had to be done.

Re-See sat in the training chamber for a long moment, his thoughts finally coming to when and how he should do his task. He decided tomorrow night would be the best time, when they were all asleep he'd sneak away down into the depths of Coruscant and plant the virus in the water system. Then it would be only a matter of time.
