Chappsta Three: Dealing with a Demon
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars, lightsabers, Jedis, Hayden Christensen(sigh), NOT even lightsaber spoons. Oh, cruel fate... bummer.
Although this chapter is not so Anakin concentrated (unfortunately) it is still an important part of the story. Frankly, I don't know what will happen to him yet... I just have a small idea that I need to work out. But for now, Enjoy!
Thank You for all your wonderful reviews!
Sweet.KRAZY.03 - Thank You! I liked Chapta Two a lot too!
Jinn.Twins - OMG Thanks Sooo Much! Yes, Quigon squaredancing in a scubasuit would be a strange sight, it came to me suddenly. :)
A/N: When I mentioned yachts in Chapta One, I meant like actual boats, you know the ones that go swim-swim... (Boats don't actually go swim-swim, but in my weird mind they do)
NOW FOR THE STORY!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Luke woke up with a start in the middle of the night, he sensed a disturbance in the force... Although to his untamed force-sensitive mind it could have been a python angrily coughing up a gopher in a forest 2 miles away. Or maybe it was-- no it can't be that... No! Luke nervously thought. He glanced around the room unsure of what could be lurking in the shadows. I'm being silly... It can't be that.. It's my imagination playing tricks on me... I need to watch less horror holoflicks and I'll be all right...Although his thoughts were persuasive and he really wanted to believe them, Luke still doubted them.
He crept out of his room silently,
"UGHH!"
or not... He had stepped on some grayish matty fur. Since when do we have fur on our carpets! Luke was not a fan of excessively furry things, he liked them slimy, like frogs and snakes... He peeked into his parent's room, nothing! Luke began to breathe nervously What if it came? I have to tell Leia... everything. He gulped at the unpleasantness of the thought.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Leia heard a rustling and awoke with a start. She was tough and strong-willed, like her mother. Lately things were turning a strange way so she was feeling a bit wimpish. But, she convinced herself it was nothing and lay back down. She heard a whisper and her eyes fluttered open. Leia--Leia--Leia! Now this was too much for a girl, strong-willed she may be, but this was down right creepy! She faced the wall and lay down on her side...
"Leia!"
Bursting from anger and a strange form of curiousity, her head whipped around to come face to face with a dark figure... Leia yelped in surprise but through quickness of thought she found the lightswitch. It was none other than Luke. She sighed, then her eyes showed anger, she tensed up, and gave Luke "the look".
"Don't do that again! EVER!" she said assertively.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Luke went through the arduous process of explaining that both their parents were mysteriously missing and he didn't know what to do.
" Who could have done this?" Leia conveniently asked.
Luke groaned at the thought of her expression when she heard.
"Um.. I might know... I think...I think that it's--"
"Well?" Leia impatiently glared.
"I think it's all my fault..." Luke spat out.
He watched as Leia's eyebrows lifted and she looked at him with interest. Her body language showed that she was just plain demanding to hear some answers, right then and there. So Luke delved into his memories and prepared to share his experience...
"Remember last summer?"
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
He remembered it clearly now:
Last summer they visited Yoda in his summer home. It was sort of a vacation thing... Luke found the little beach cottage excruciatingly boring and decided to read some books in the library. Leia was always out water-skiing, swimming, or taking wind-surfing lessons. Luke had cut his arm on a nail the first day, and although his father had healed it using the Force he still didn't feel like doing any outdoor activities. He refused to admit it, but he was a nerd... Yoda worried about Luke's extensive stay in the library of the old cottage but Luke always managed to sneak in.
"Bad is that habit of the youngling, tragedy will strike him, strike it will..." Yoda would nag.
The truth was that Luke had found an old book in the library. It told of ancient summoning spells... Luke took it for an extremely interesting fantasy book and by the 5th day had read it all. He wanted to try one of the summoning "spells", like a simple game to play. He picked out the most complex and powerful one and decide to try it out. In 4 days he had compiled the ingredients and was ready. He had waited for the perfect moment when everyone went hiking and Luke had decided to stay behind, and he gave an excuse of a prophetic Force enhanced dream where he had picked carrots, so he felt obligated to pick carrots that day. But Luke was definitely not picking carrots...
As the cauldron ( actually a bathtub) was boiling, Luke said some magic words. Nothing happened. Luke chuckled and decided that this was the most entertaining game he had recently played. Suddenly his laughter stopped when he saw a large dark figure form from out of the bathtub, it started laughing. Luke found his power draining as something seeped into him...
An hour later he regained conciousness. Luke was a bit frightened but brushed off the fear. He was wrong to do so...
The second Thursday of every month at exactly 11:58pm Luke would be possesed by the being. He never knew what he did, but in the mornings he always found something wrong in the newspapers. Speeder crashes due to a little boy standing in the road, robberies and etc. He tried to resist but the being got angry and was too powerful for Luke to control. The demon (as Luke began to consider it as) was always around. Luke could sense it's presence and could never chase it away. It lurked until the second Thursday of every month...
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
And so Luke ended his tale, head hung low... Leia started off softly,
"What you did was... EXTREMELY STUPID!"
"I know!I kind of figured that out by now!" screamed Luke. (This talk of supernatural beings turned into a quarrel)
"What about the breakdancing? Was that somehow connected to the being? Did it order you to kidnapp my holodisks?" Leia asked demandingly.
"Oh, that... That was just a way to relieve stress."
"Ok, then.. What we're going to do is--"
"Yep! You don't know what to do, smarty skirts!" Luke continued the squabble.
"Yes I do, you brainless fish off of Coruscant!" Leia yelled back.
"Then what?Ms. I'm-so-much-smarter-than-my-freaky-possesed-brother!"
"We're going to call Yoda!" Leia answered back calmly.
Luke couldn't think of anything wrong with that idea so he shut up as he stared out of the window at the rising sun...
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It might seem kind of dark but this is humor/horror... On a lighter note: I promise the next chapter will be Anakin filled... And less creepiness.
