A/N: O.K. so this is my first story. It probably won't be very good so go easy on me alright. Please no flames! P.S. this will start before Episode One.
A woman around the age of twenty-six screamed in pain as another contraction hit. A nurse droid made soothing noises coaxing her to keep pushing her baby out. About three pushes later the scream of a new born baby filled the room. The baby girl was cleaned and wrapped in a blanket before she was given to her mother. "She looks exactly like her father," the woman whispered, "I hope she does not gain his personality."
The baby had a patch of snow white hair and she had beautiful purple eyes. "Amethyst will be your name," the woman decided.
Amethyst and her mother lived a happy peaceful life on Naboo. Her mother was a designer who made beautiful dresses. She owned a small shop in the city near the palace where the two also lived on the floor above. Five-year-old Amethyst loved living on Naboo. She would always have something to do from helping her mother designing dresses to swimming in the lake outside of the city with her friends.
One day her mother fell very ill. So ill that she could not even get out of bed. The doctor said that she had a virus that there was no cure for and that she would die in a month shocking both mother and daughter. On her dying day Amethyst sat on her mother's bed tears streaming down her cheeks. "Do not cry Amethyst. I may not be able to watch over you from the mortal world, but I can watch you from the heavens," her mother said, wiping away Amethyst's tears.
"Mommy please don't leave me. What will happen to me?" Amethyst begged.
"Don't worry baby, I'll always be with you. A friend of mine is taking you to Coruscant. You are to be trained as a Jedi like I was," her mother said.
"Jedi? Aren't they the people you told me stories about?" Amethyst asked.
"Yes and the main character of those stories was me. I was once a Jedi until I fell in love with your father and married him. The Code of the Jedi forbids attachment so I was expelled. You are Force sensitive because I am also Force sensitive. When you go to the Jedi Temple and you make it in you will be trained to control the Force and use it in combat," her mother explained, darkness beginning to eat away at her vision.
"Mommy what is the Force? Mommy you can't die I need you to help me," Amethyst said, beginning to cry again.
"You will be taught about what the Force is and what it does when you get to the temple," her mother replied, closing her eyes, "I love you Amethyst. I'll always be with you."
With that Amethyst's mother drew her final breath and then breathed no more. "Mommy? Mommy wake up!" the child pleaded, shaking her mom's shoulders.
She threw herself onto her mother's limp body and sobbed her little heart out. She kept pleading for her mother to wake up, but she didn't. A hand brushed the girl's shoulder awhile later causing Amethyst to jump a little and whimper. "Do not be afraid. I am the friend that you mother spoke of. My name is Qui-Gon Jinn and I'm here to take you to the Jedi Temple after your mother's cremation," the man spoke gently, drying away the girl's tears.
Nodding, Amethyst got off of the bed. She trusted this guy who just walked into her home. He made her feel like everything was going to be alright.
A/N: So, what did you think? Good beginning?
