I woke up in a medical bay in a ship. Obi-Wan was there. I could feel that the blaster bolt was mostly healed but there was something else in my body.
"What's the diagnosis doc?" I asked teasingly. Obi-Wan sat back into a chair by the bed.
"Your wound is healing quite rapidly but the blaster was tainted with poison. I'm taking you to Coruscant, to the Jedi temple to get healing." The Jedi temple! I had seen it in so many of my visions that I felt as if I had grown up there.
"What's your name?" Obi-Wan asked me.
"Chae'la Sretep, from the Singing Mountain Clan of Dathomir."
"You're a witch of Dathomir?" Obi-Wan asked confused, "But you're not a human."
"I'm not native to Dathomir and I'm not a witch, I'm a Jedi. I was trained in the ways of Jedi by the witch Rell."
"How is that possible? How would a witch be able to train you as a Jedi?"
"Because she was given the Chu'unthor's record disks by a Jedi Master. She trained me using those and on the remains of the ship Chu'unthor," I said as Obi-Wan's eyes grew huge. I don't think he quite believed what he was hearing. The Chu'unthor had been a Jedi training centre for Jedi youth and had crashed landed on Dathomir years before. The Nightsisters, a sect of dark witches, which used the dark side of the force on Dathomir and were the enemies of my clan, had kept the Jedi from reclaiming the ship but Yoda had given my master Rell the record disks to keep safe.
"How did you know my name?" Obi-Wan locked eyes with me and I looked away. I had messed up and used his name. This was going to be an awkward conversation.
"I have visions of the future. Mostly of you and other Jedi. I have for years," I looked back at Obi-Wan. He looked skeptic. "You don't believe me? How else would I know your name?"
"You could be a stalker," Obi-Wan said point blank. I was going to have to think of something that I had seen that only Obi-Wan would know.
"You were given a river stone by Qui-Gon when you turned 13. You used it to escape having your mind wiped by the Syndicat on the Planet Phindar. You were disappointed with the gift at first but now you keep it in a pocket over your heart," I patted the spot in his tunic where I knew the riverstone was hidden.
"That's… disturbing," Obi-Wan didn't look entirely convinced but I think he was starting to come around. "Is that why you collapsed in the alley before the droids attacked?"
"Yes, I saw them shoot you. I couldn't let that happen. You are very important to the galaxy Obi-Wan," I looked at him seriously. At first he gave a short laugh and then looked at me, his humor fading.
"What have you foreseen for my future?" he asked unsure.
"I think I should talk with the council before I say too much, but you are instrumental to the future of the galaxy," I leaned back against the bed and stared at the ceiling above me. We sat in silence for a minute before Obi-Wan asked if I were hungry. I said yes and he went to grab some rations. I wanted so bad to tell Obi-Wan about Anakin and about everything to come but I had to talk to the council first.
Obi-Wan came back with some panna cakes. We ate in silence for a while, interestingly not awkward silence.
"This poison is sure slow acting isn't it?" I commented with my dry humor.
"Yeah, thankfully for us. We won't get to Coruscant for awhile yet."
"So why were those men after you?" Obi-Wan asked me curiously.
"I 'm wanted by Zebzeb the Hut. Back on my home planet my clan is at war with another clan. They are called the Nightsisters. A few weeks ago they attacked our clan and I was captured. They sold me into slavery and I was bought by Zebzeb. The disgusting worm wanted me to be a dancer for him, so I escaped. The men were looking for a quick buck by bringing me back to Zebzeb."
"If you have visions of the future why didn't you see that?"
"I don't control the visions, they come by their own violation."
We spent the next few hours talking. Obi-Wan told me about the temple and I told him about my home, my friends. I could feel the poison trying to work through my system. Starting at my wound and starting to travel down my legs, a stinging numbness was spreading through my body. I tried my hardest to slow it down but it was a resilient poison.
Obi-Wan suggested we get some sleep and headed off to his quarters. Being exhausted, I went to sleep right away; dark dreams haunting my sleep. The poison burning up into my chest.
