A/N So this is my first update of this story since the new year, I know that's a really weird thought. Hopefully, I will get the next one out soon as soon as I can.
Chapter 10
Another Jedi appears from the group and grabs my arm to ushering me away from the group huddled together. I strain my neck to look at them to try and interpret what they are going to say but none of them move as he must be waiting for me to get out of the way before talking.
I lock eyes with Anglesha and she just smiles at me and nods her head towards the direction that the smaller Jedi is dragging me, indicating that I should follow them. I think the Jedi then catches on that I'm distracted and yanks on my arm to bringing my attention back to him.
"I am taking you to the med centre so that you can be checked over by the healer," the Jedi says looking me up and down. I suddenly feel very self-conscious the way that his eyes look over at me with a look of disgust and pity. I don't want to be fucking pitied.
I glare down at him annoyed and angry with him for no apparent reason. The Jedi seems to catch on to my mood as he hurries our steps towards the med centre.
The small Jedi keeps hold of my arm and drags me into a rather large hut far away from the rest of the encampment. We step into what I assume is the med centre and I am hit immediately by the strong sterile with a light undertone of floral smell showing that the med bay must be freshly cleaned. I look around me and assume that this must be the observation ward as you can see several different hospital beds crowded in the room with only curtains there to separate them.
It's quiet in here compared to the mindless ideal chatter and the sound of moving things around just outside of the walls. I'm guessing that they have purposely tried to block out the noise from the outside to help the patients try to sleep. I notice that all the beds are empty and that the only other person in the room is an older, humanoid woman sitting at a counter going through what looks like doctors notes.
"Master Kafo, this is the new recruit that Anglesha brought in" the smaller Jedi interrupts the woman. The woman turns around in her chair and I see that she is not human but a mirialan which is made apparent by the green skin and markings all over her kind yet tiered face.
"Oh yes Master Wrozi warned me that you were coming in here so you need me do a full physical?" she asked looking over her data-pad and then looks up at me looking me up and down."Ahh, another empire prisoner they do really know how best to look after people" she says grumbling to herself but has not raised her head from her data-pad.
"I will leave you in the capable hands of Master Kafo" the Jedi who escorted me here murmurs, after a few minutes of quiet, startling the medic Jedi.
"Thank you Master Gigo, I will take very good care of this young lady" she looks over at me and then back to the other Jedi. "May the force be with you," she says bowing her head.
"And with you Master Kafo the other Jedi bows his head back and then scuttles out of the room.
"Right then if you wouldn't mind taking a seat," Master Kafo says patting the examination bed, I nod my head and hop on. The Jedi then makes a motion and a medical droid makes its way towards us. "Ok N2-46 begin scanning," she says staring intently at her data-pad.
"Yes mistress, the droid answers and a blue light aluminates from the droid's arm, moving up and down for several minutes before turning off. "Scan complete, transferring information to data-pad. Transferring complete is that all that is needed" the droid turns to Master Kafo and after having confirmation that its services are no longer needed waddles back to the corner of the room and shuts down.
"Sorry about that dear the equipment that we have here, I'm afraid that most of it is very old and or scavenged, however it still works just the same as any other med centre, it just takes time" she says looking over the data-pad again, I have begun to notice that she very rarely looks up from it.
"Well you all of your signs are concurringly low but not low enough to cause long-term damage thank the force, thankfully the scans show that there is no internal damage going on," she says eyeing a poetically bad bruise pecking out of the side of my loose shirt. I pull the shirt up higher in a futile attempt to cover up the bruise.
The Jedi pretends not to notice and begins to inspect the foot that I hurt earlier. "The scan shows that you have had a recent brake but your foot looks fine," she looks up at me expectantly.
"The girl who rescued me did something to it, I don't really know what it was that she did but she did it and my foot felt fine afterwards" I explain to her as best as I could.
"That's what I was hoping you would say, Anglesha's skill is almost perfected, I didn't know if she could do so well under pressure, I'm glad to see she can" the Jedi smiled resting my foot back on the bed. She looks up and laughs at my confused face.
"The force can work in mysterious ways, one of them is healing, it takes years for a Jedi to perfect it, I'm glad to see how much she has improved," she smiles at me; I nod my head in understanding.
The Jedi then goes on to give me her prognoses which includes; low blood pressure, low blood sugar, dehydrated and malnourished. I feel overwhelmed with everything she's saying to me but I try not to show it, fearing that she will pity me more than she already does.
"You're lucky, it appears that the force was with you as it seems that you obtained many other injuries that you I have healed from," she says, scanning over her data-pad.
"Yeah, lucky I guess" I mummer not feeling an urge to tell her about the inquisitors help with healing those injuries.
"Right the best thing for you will be putting you on a drip with steroids, I hope you're not afraid of needles" she looks at me with raised eyebrows and I shake my head as no. "Good, you would be surprised to see how many grown men and women turn into snivelling little children when it comes to needles," she says laughing and I smile with her remembering that time I went with Biggs for a blood test and he cried like a little girl.
She unwraps the IV and then inserts the needle into my arm and then hooks it up to a drip so that the fluids can go into my arm. I lay my head back on the thin pillow as the odd feeling of cold liquid begins to fill through my veins.
"Right there is also a sedative in there which will help you sleep and then when you wake up I will give you something to eat," she says, leaving the room and not lifting her eyes from her data-pad once. I smile remembering back to when aunt Beru used to tell me off for doing just that, what I wouldn't do for one of her hugs right now, I drift off to sleep with the thoughts of my old simple life.
A/N right I hope that you guys enjoyed that chapter and feel free to review.
