Nimowaes POV
That night, when the Council summoned Obi and Qui-Gon to return for their decision about Anakin, who had been tested, we prepared to leave and go with them. We were almost out the door and into the corridor when Qui-Gon stopped us.
"No, Nimowae, you and Aravis do not need to come."
"But..."
"No buts, thats my final word."
Obi gave me a look of apology and then headed down the corridor with his master. When the door shut, Aravis looked at me and asked:
"Now what are we supposed to do?"
"I dont know, but I want to hear, especially after we answered their questions about him."
The Council had had a private session with just Aravis and I to discuss our thoughts and feeling about Anakin, it had been rather long, and many questions had been asked and answered. In my opinion, we deserved to hear his fate just as much as Qui-Gon or my brother. Then, it hit me.
"Turn us invisible."
"What, why?"
"We're going to the Council meeting."
A few moments later, we were standing outside the door of the Council room, while Aravis kept her hand on my arm to keep us from being seen, I ghosted us through the door, once inside, she put up an invisible forcefield, and we listened in on the whole thing. From what we heard, we had only missed a couple of minutes, and both of us gave each other a look of awe when we heard that Anakin was not to be trained. Our mouths were still hanging open when we heard Qui-Gon say that he would take Anakin and that my brother was ready for the trials.
My heart leapt at the thought of how happy he would be that he could finally become a Jedi, and then jumped into my throat when the Council threw it back into his face like he was only a child.
If it was possible, our mouths opened even wider when Yoda told Qui-Gon and Obi to return to Naboo, and to take us with him. The glance that he shot our direction was just discreet enough yet obvious enough for us to look at each other and think 'he knows'.
Before we knew what was happening, all of them were headed right torward us to leave! We jumped out of the way, the train of Obis robe just missing the edge of the forcefield. We hurried out of the open door behind them and stopped to watch them go. Then, it hit me
"Aravis! We have to beat them back! They think were waiting for them back at the quarters!"
"Oh crap."
We both broke into a run, there was no way we could make it around them in the narrow corridor, so we took a back staircase, which actually made the journey longer, but we had no choice. We had just barely made it around the corner and into the door when they came into the room. We both tried our best not to breathe loud and put the most innocent looks on our faces we could muster as Qui-Gon told us about the Council meeting we had really been at.
