Keeping the secret

Chapter I

His eyes filled with tears when he opened the door and saw what was behind it. His friend lay on the floor, arms and legs bound with old, rough rope. His eyes were closed and from this distance he couldn't even see if he was breathing. He just needed a few steps to be at his side. He saw scars, burns, and dried blood on that parts of his Master's skin where his robes were burnt away.

Anakin breathed heavily when he opened his eyes. There were still pictures of an injured Obi-Wan in his mind and he stared into the darkness which surrounded him. His blanket lay on the floor and cold air came through the open window.

It was just a dream. But he was concerned about his Master, who was on a solo mission at this time.

The sun hadn't risen yet but Anakin stood up and went to the kitchen, where he sat down on a cold chair.

He was sure Obi-Wan would call him in the morning to tell him that he was alright. He has done this every morning whenever he has been on solo missions. Anakin didn't know what kind of mission Obi-Wan was doing this time. He just knew that his Master should be back in two days.

"Anakin!" he heard Obi-Wan's voice from somewhere around him.

When he had heard him calling his name yesterday, he thought it was a hallucination.

"Anakin! Help me!" it was just a whisper, but defiantly real.

"Master!" Anakin cried into the dark. "Where are you?" He looked around, waiting for an answer.

"Anakin," the voice was that low that Anakin could barely hear it. It was full of pain and not the strong voice he knew.

Anakin ran through the corridors of the temple to find Master Yoda. He was still wearing his sleeping pants but he didn't care. There weren't many people who were also awake.

He found Yoda with Master Windu.

"What is worrying you, Anakin?" Windu asked.

"It's Master Kenobi," he answered breathlessly. "He's in trouble."

"How do you know that?"

"I had a dream tonight."

"What kind of dream you are talking about?"

"It was a nightmare. Obi-Wan was imprisoned, unconscious. I'm not sure but I think it was that kind of dream I had about my mother before she died."

"We should wait before we start to worry. He will call us in a few hours to give us a report."

"I heard his voice," Anakin whispered. "The first time I thought it was an illusion, but I heard it again and again. He called me. Asked for help. His voice was full of pain. I can feel that he is in danger."

Yoda and Windu looked meaningfully at each other.

"Maybe you're right, Anakin. What you're telling us isn't new. There was a Padawan who called his Master for help over a great distance. We will send someone to search for Master Kenobi if he doesn't call us today."

"Please, send me!"

"You have to stay. You are the only one who can hear him. Nobody knows if Obi-Wan will still be able to find you if you leave."

Anakin nodded. He wasn't happy about the fact that they want to wait. He knew that Obi-Wan was in real danger and they had to do something.

They had to bring him back safe. He had to bring him back safe. He shouldn't have let him leave alone. He should have had taken care of him.

When he was back in his quarters, he went from one door to another. He couldn't stand still.

"Anakin."

"Master," Anakin whispered. "I am here."

"Anakin."

"Where are you? Tell me," tears were running down Anakin's face.

"You have to protect her."

"Who? Master what happened to you?"

"Protect her! Please."

"Obi-Wan!"

Silence.
