......

Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon stood in front of the council. It had been a week since they suppressed the dream. He felt very good. However he felt like something from him was missing.

Mace sat in his usual seat and Yoda next to him. They were being briefed on a very simple mission: Escort the extremely paranoid senator back to his home.

He hasn't been threatened but he always thinks he's in danger. Obi-Wan found it kind of funny but suppressed his humor.

Qui-Gon felt his amusement and was thankful he suppressed it.

"It's quite simple really. For you it will be more of a vacation. You probably wont have to do anything."

Obi-Wan listened intently and then he heard a scream. I echoed off into nothing and faded away. He didn't move he was frozen. He was looking out the window and he saw the sky that was blue and white was swirling and becoming red and black. His eyes widened with shock. He couldn't speak. A person was outside the window they climbed up the side of the building. Obi-Wan could see their head rising as they climbed in front of the window. They white blond hair. Their skin was gray as though they were dying or dead. Obi-Wan tensed. They lifted their head and looked directly at him. It was a man it was him! The eyes were pure white they looked angry. The man reached forward his hand passing through the glass as though it wasn't there; as though it were air or smoke. The fingernails were like claws. Hands grasped his shoulder's He looked to his shoulders. White hands held him he saw the cloud coming around him. He felt sick. It was her. Who was she?

"Obi-Wan."

Obi-Wan opened his eyes. He was lying on the floor of the council room. The other master's were staring at him, worried. Qui-Gon had his hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder. Mace had his hand on the other shoulder. Obi-Wan began to shake uncontrollably. It was back. Why was it back?

Qui-Gon sensed his panic. He looked to Mace. They knew what it was. It was back and Obi-Wan had just seen something.

"Obi-Wan calm down it's alright. We'll figure this out." Qui-Gon said taking his apprentice's hand.

Obi-Wan was still shaking. His eyes wide he shook his head. "He's coming! It's Coming!" Obi-Wan cried out reaching for something.

Qui-Gon grabbed the hand and caressed it. "Shh... What's coming?"

Obi-Wan gasped and cried out incoherently.

"Qui-Gon get him to the healers. We need to speak about this." Mace said standing.

Before Qui-Gon respond a figure in the window appeared. She was pale and surrounded by a cloud of feathers. Her eyes pure black. The council spun started. There was a flash of light and it was gone. "His dream is being projected into reality... He's using the Force to make it real... or it's using the Force." Mace looked to the shaking boy huddled in Qui-Gon's arms. "Hurry and get him to the healers.

Qui-Gon nodded and scooped his apprentice into his arms who immediately put his arms around his master's neck. Qui-Gon turned a left taking Obi-Wan to the healers. Although he wasn't quite sure what they could do.

Obi-Wan clung to his master. Afraid that if he let go the images would come back. His tears were beginning to dry. He felt weak. Was there something wrong with him?

Qui-Gon sensed Obi-Wan tensing.

"Master?"

"Yes?"

"What was I like when I was having that vision? I was a vision right? It wasn't real. It couldn't have been real could it?" Obi-Wan was getting confused. It had seemed so real. Maybe the man was trying to tell him something or was he just haunting him? Obi-Wan didn't know.

Qui-Gon sighed and hesitated. "It was a vision..."

Obi-Wan waited but when the pause was too long, "...but?"

Qui-Gon didn't look at him. "The Force began to project it into reality..."

"Then it was real!" He shook harder.

"No! It looked real but it wasn't!"

"What was I like?"

"You looked as though you were dead. You were so pale and your eyes were pure black. You-"

Obi-Wan's breath caught had he turned gray like he was dead? "Gray?" Obi-Wan paled slightly.

"No snow white. You were shaking and convulsing we didn't know what to think. Then we saw you were having the vision again. It was being projected."

Obi-Wan froze. His eyes were pure black? Like hers. She shivered and Qui-Gon tightened his hold. "Obi-Wan?"

"Hm?"

"What did you mean by 'It was coming. HE was coming' ?"

"It is..."

"But what is?"

"The end."

"The end of what?"

"Everything." Obi-Wan whispered this last part.

Qui-Gon was silent the boy really believed the dream was literal.

When they got to the healers they were expecting them. "Mace called ahead." they explained.

Qui-Gon laid his padawan on a bed and was immediately called out of the room.

When he was out the head of the healers was there to meet him. "Qui-Gon. Master Yoda just contacted us. He said that the vision must be taken care of. Something or someone is trying to reach Obi-Wan possibly take his body. But Obi-Wan has been fighting it."

This was news to Qui-Gon. Something after the boy's body?

"They say that they will need to go into his mind and find what it is. Whether it be schizophrenia or a spirit of some kind."

Qui-Gon was speechless. He nodded and returned to his apprentice who seemed to have recovered from his earlier experience. He sat on the bed looking at Qui-Gon no emotion was on his face just a look expecting to be spoken to.

Time to explain things to his apprentice.
