Chapter 6

Serena awoke with a start, remembering what had happened the previous night. She looked around the confined room, noticing several medical machines and many medical items such as medpacs and antidotes. The lights were dim but she could still make out the footlocker in the corner. She slowly got up, her muscles were cramped and ached immesely. Whatever that blonde man had done to her...it had really messed with her senses. She stumbled over to the footlocker and found inside her blaster pistol and knife. She quickly equipped it as her eyes began adjusting to the darkness.

"It seems you have finally woken up." She jumped slightly and turned around, pistol in her hand. "Don't worry, I'm here to help you."

"Who are you?" She asked.

"My name is Mical and I'm a historian and scientist working for the Republic. Although my contemporaries would judge me more a historian than scientist." He smiled warmly.

She lowered the gun and put it in its holster. This man obviously didn't mean her any harm. "Care to explain why you kidnapped me?"

He walked in and sat in a chair adjacent to where she was standing. "You must forgive us for what we did back on Ord Mantell. There was a reason that we did what we did."

"Oh yeah? Well, spit it out, pretty boy." The man blushed slightly at the nickname. She guessed that he probably didn't get out much. "And what was that magic thing you did to me."

"This may take a while to explain...so you might want to take a seat." He motioned for her to sit and she did. There was something about this man...but she couldn't pin point it exactly. He seemed almost familiar...

"I'm listening."

"You see you look a lot like a former companion and Jedi Master to my friend Atton Rand, whom you have already had the pleasure of meeting, and me. We are Jedi Knights and that magic you experienced was the Force." He began explaining. It seemed extremely strange having to explain things about her to her.

"Alright. So I look like a woman you've known. Doesn't mean you have to go tackle me and kidnap me." She crossed her arms in front of her chest.

He took a deep breath and continued. "You don't just look a little like her...you look exactly like her. Identical in every sense of the word." He paused for a moment. "You see, Atton was in love with Fiona Rykos."

"The woman I look like?"

"Yes. We had been looking for Fiona for almost a year. So when we saw you we immediately thought it was you..." He looked away. Serena could almost see the pain in his eyes.

"So your friend thinks I'm that Fiona woman?" Mical nodded. "Well you can tell him that I'm not. I'm Serena Toppak, in case you didn't hear me the first time."

"So you say. Yet my friend won't believe that as easily as I would. A simple DNA test or midi cholorian count could..."

"No way. I still don't know if you are just bounty hunters looking to cash in on my bounty." She said as her hand brushed up against her pistol.

"Bounty? Why would you have a bounty on your head? What did you do?" Mical asked, confused.

"Like you don't know." She rolled her eyes before noticing that Mical was sincerely dumbfounded and really didn't know. "You haven't heard of me?"

"I can't say that I have." Mical answered honestly. He knew something was different about this woman. It had to be the same woman yet her eyes didn't hold the same care and gentleness that they once did. He missed Fiona.

"I'm Serena Toppak, bounty hunter slash smuggler. There lies the problem. I was hired to do this one job and when you're in my line of work you really don't ask too many questions. So I take this job transporting this shipment of Force knows what." She paused, recalling the details. "So I get caught and it ends up that i'm transporting slaves..."

"An instant death sentence." Mical said to himself. "Sorry, please continue."

"Exactly. I manage to slip out of there in a small snub fighter and the next thing I know...bounty hunters are coming after me." She leaned back against the wall and let out a sigh. "It's really quite annoying when you have a bunch of people gunning for you. There wasn't a system I could enter where there wouldn't be blasters in my face or someone trying to blast me out of the sky."

"So you hid on Ord Mantell?"

"Yup. Let me tell you, it ain't a paradise planet either." That was when Mical noticed the scar on the side of her face.

"How did you get that scar?" He asked.

"Oh, that one. I can't exactly remember. Why?"

"Just curious. Do you mind if I take a look at it?" Mical asked quietly.

"Why not?" She said nonchalantly.

Mical reached up and traced the line of the scar down her face. His touch sent chills running up and down Serena's spine. It was strange that a man like him could give her the chills. Not one man had ever affected her like this. Not even former lovers had had the affect this Mical man had on her. She pulled her head away. He took the hint and sat back down.

"What were you looking for?"

"I was looking for any signs that could tell if that was a lightsaber scar." He said.

"What? I haven't even come across any Jedi. Even I know better than to cross a Jedi." He smiled. Deep down this woman was still Fiona...he knew it. "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing...you just look exactly like her." And it hurts seeing you again...and you still not knowing my true feelings. "You should probably get some more rest. The Force power I used on you will probably fully wear off in a couple hours."

"Not like I don't enjoy spending time on this rust bucket...but I need to get going. I can't afford to stay in one place too long. Y'know...the whole 'death sentence' thing." She gave him a roguish smile.

"Well we're headed back to Coruscant. I'm sure that we could get the bounty mess taken care of." He offered.

"I don't know if I can trust you." She said as she stood up.

"You can trust me. Always and no matter what." He said as he walked away.

A/N: Please review...if you read it you might as well review! The chapters may come slower becuase I have to work on all my fanfics and most times I'm inclined to add chapters to the most popular ones. More romance to come!
