The med center had been quiet ever since the young human girl named Teren Miller had been brought in by Knight Horner. It was a remorseful silence. All the Healer in the med center knew she wouldn't last the night. It would be a miracle if she did. Teren had been attacked by an unknown enemy. Knight Kenobi and his apprentice had been contacted. They were going to bring the other two girls, Mecca and Carle, to the med center to say good-bye to their friend. The silence was shattered by the two teens arriving.
They had been worried and the Healers couldn't blame them. Their friend was on her deathbed, literally. She was dieing. The internal injuries were too grievous for even the most experienced Healer to try and help.
Carle stood next to Mecca her face grim. Mecca was standing in front of the door leading in to Teren's room. Her blue eyes fixed firmly on the middle of it.
A Healer was sanding in front of them. She was saying something. Carle wasn't quite sure what, she hadn't been listening. All she knew was that Teren had been hurt and that she wasn't expected to last through the night.
"Now, before I let you in you must know that her wounds were severe and most of them are still visible." The Healer was telling them.
Carle sighed, "Can we see her now?" she asked, brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes.
The Healer looked at her and opened to door. Inside the lighting was dim and a slow melodic beepingfilled the air. On a bed up next to the wall in the middle lay a young girl. Her red hair fanned around her shoulders and her green eyes were closed to the world. She was deathly pale and her lips were bluish colour.
Carle brought a hand to her lips stifling a gasp. Mecca's eyes widened as she saw her friend laying on her deathbed.
The Healer looked very sympathetic. She walked softly over to a dresser. She picked up two items. One they could clearly see was a lightsaber the other was a round object like a CD but a little ticker. She walked back over to them.
"Do you have any idea why your friend would be carrying a lightsaber?" she asked.
Carle shook her head. "I'm not sure. Since she wasn't a Jedi I don't know why she would've had it." She replied.
Mecca said, "I don't know either."
The Healer nodded. "She was also had this in an inner pocket in her jacket. I don't think she wanted any one to find it." The healer sighed, "It is a message for you. We started to play in back but stopped when Teren said your names." The Healer handed Mecca the recorder. (A/N does any one have a better word for this thing?)
Mecca took it carefully. She looked up at the Healer. The Healer smiled sympathetically at her and left she that they could listen to the message in privet.
After fiddling with the device for a minute or so the two girls figured out how to play back the message. Pressing the sunken button Carle let out a great sigh.
Almost instantly a holographic image of Teren appeared in front of them. She had a look of half worry and half fear.
She was wearing the same thing she had been when they had meet her in the hall only this time her hair was down in a low pony tail instead of the knots.
The holo Teren smiled gentle at them, and she began to talk.
"Carle. Mecca. I am regretful that I cannot tell you this in person but by now you know that I will not live. I have sworn myself to protecting you and now I must tell you what from. I know you don't know about the Sith but I can only tell you that they are very bad. They try to destroy people in the worst of ways. Well, I have to tell you that I am- or better was- a Sith apprentice. I have been here –like I said for three years- and in that time was in training to become a Sith Lord. But when I found my Master's plans I knew I could not do what I had been instructed to. That was to find you and kill you. But we've grown up together, and I couldn't kill my best friends, my only friends. I must warn you now that a war is brewing in the Senate. Not a political war but a war where many people will lose their lives. It might appear as a war against the Separatists but it will really bring about the destruction of the Jedi and all they stand for. Even the ruin of the Republic. I know what you are thinking 'How can we trust her, she's a Sith?'. Well, you don't have to. All you have to do is go the Works. There you will find the secret lire of The Sith Lord Sidious. You must stop him if you are to stop the war. Now I don't have must time but you must do this. Do it for a dying friend. I pray that I will live to see you succeed but if I don't I know that you have done your very best even if you fail in capturing the Sith Lord you will have put him on the run. This way he can do no more damage to this wonderful free galaxy."
Carle and Mecca looked at the holo image as it winked and died. Teren knew about her getting attacked. She knew about her on the brink of death even before it happened. And now she wanted them to stop this war.
Carle tuned to Mecca. She saw the same fear in her friend's eyes that she felt in herself. Fear that they would fail.
"What are we going to do?" Mecca asked suddenly.
Carle sighed. "I don't know but I think Obi-Wan needs to see this message. Cause what ever it is it concerns the Jedi and the Republic."
Mecca nodded. "Yes, they will want to know about this. What are the Sith any way?" She asked.
Carle shrugged. She had no idea but had a pretty good feeling that Obi-Wan and the other Jedi did. With a million thoughts running through her head at once she turned to the bed and placed her hand of Teren's pale one.
"Why did you have to bring this on now of all time?" she whispered.

Reviews:
Queen of the Deep Night: I really don't know where I came up with Night Of The Land. But I think it was by pure accident. Well no one else had said any thing and I didn't notice and I have to have every thing pretty much perfect or else I go crazy. (well not crazy but yeah you know) And I would like to hear it. Email it to me or something. Oh and I've read most of the books on your list, except for the land of elyon, Vampire Plagues, and the Divides. Well, I'm working on the first book but I'm borrowing it from a friend and she keeps on forgetting it so I haven't finished it. So yeah I tend to ramble when I get nervous. So yeah thanks for the review and thanks for the book titles!
