Chapter 2- Looking into the past-
Her hair extended all the way to her knees, remaining the same dark brown color it had always been. She had grown much taller, although she wasn't much more than a petite height. She had a fatter top and bottom lip, and her brown eyes showed little comfort in their reflection. Her face was rounded out a little bit more, and it hadn't really changed much. But the skin was a bit unusual. Unlike lots of human Jedi, her skin had always been pale in comparison to theirs. The present color of her skin was indeed very pale, almost a light cream color!
Silence was interrupted by Yoda, who sensed the swirl of emotions filling the room. "No, of course there isn't Master Yoda." Anahita replied modestly with a small smile. "You look so much… older. Wiser, perhaps I should say. Anahita, how are old are you exactly?" Obi-Wan commented. "I do? Hm, guess I never noticed that. I'm fourteen right now." Anahita said back surprised. "Why did you come back to Coruscant? You haven't been here in a long time, so you must have some motive." Plo Koon asked sternly, wanting to get information from her before she stopped talking. Anahita looked over at him, but didn't say anything to him. She turned her head back towards Master Yoda and Master Windu, ignoring the suspicions of the council.
"We'd like an answer, Anahita!" Mace said in warning to her, as she sighed. "I don't want to explain it to you or anyone else really. Look, couldn't you ask anything else in the universe besides that? I'll answer if it's reasonable!" she retorted at Master Windu, a bit more annoyed now. "Anahita, we know about you living on Naboo from age's five to eleven. Where did you go after leaving there?" Obi-Wan asked, trying to get her to answer a different question. "I went around a number of mid rim planets and then…" she actually told Obi-Wan, but her voice trailed off into something inaudible. Yoda's ears were able to pick up what she said, as he looked at Anahita with deep curiosity. "What work would require you to be all the way in the darker parts of the mid rim? There is much you have to tell us, my dear." Yoda asked, repeating where she had been.
"I'm a bounty hunter of the bounty hunters guild. My job, since I was often asked for, was to kill dangerous criminals or threats to a planet's species or people. I spent the past two years there in the mid rim, but backed out for a while due to… circumstances." she replied instantly, as they all looked at her with shock on their faces. "Circumstances?" asked Adi Galla, one of the women on the Jedi council. "I felt the dark side of the force. I was scared enough to pull out of the business because of it. They still ask for small assignments to be done from time to time." she told her, as Adi nodded. "A bounty hunter? Anahita, do you even realize how dangerous that profession is?" Anakin angrily asked her, as Oni-Wan looked at him with a look of disapproval and advising caution.
"Yes, I know, Anakin. You're looking at the 18th out of the top 20 bounty hunters of a year ago! Besides, I've had some of the best experience and teaching by the top bounty hunters." she said to Anakin, stating the obviousness. "That doesn't change the fact that you're working in a dangerous business, along with already making your way in it. This doesn't look good for you Anahita; it's a good time to reconsider telling us everything to done." Plo Koon suggested with warning in his words. "I do it for a living, how else can I make money at my age? My bank accounts got a lot of credits just from bounty hunting. And if you want a life story, you're going to be here for a while." Anahita told them, as Mace sighed. "We should interrogate her, just like anyone else. Someone might be able to get answers out of her." Eeth Koth said as they all looked at him. "That sounds like a good idea. Anahita, you won't object to that, right?" Mace asked looking at her. "Ah, no, I don't object." she replied with a shrug. "Aayla, take her back to her cell, and we'll send someone soon." Mace told her, as she stood up and took Anahita with her.
"Now we need to have someone talk to her, but who should go first?" Master Sasee Tiin asked them, as many took into consideration who would go among the group.
"Master Fisto."
"Obi-Wan perhaps?" were some of the main choices voiced. "I can only ask simpler and undetailed questions. Anakin, you're probably the one who'll get Anahita to answer." Obi-Wan told him, as he just looked at him with confusion. "You tend to be stricter with her Skywalker. You're really the only one who could get her to listen to you, especially when she had a tantrum." Mace explained. "Not to mention when she became hyper." Obi-Wan included, shaking his head at the memories of Anahita as a little girl, and giving him headaches. "We need to decide what to d o with her, because she can't be left alone. It will also depend on whose side she is on." one of the other said. They agreed, as outside of the council room, Luminara Unduli stood with a silent look. She turned away from the door, anger and sadness with little joy, mixing emotions flowing through her.
She journeyed down into the cells, as she approached with anticipation. Aayla saw Luminara approaching out of the corner of her eyes, as Anahita just sat at the table, listening to music. "Aayla, is she ready to talk to me?" Luminara asked, opening the cell. Anahita had unplugged from the music, and saw… a woman she really hated. "Yes. But she's not happy to see you. Good luck." Aayla said exiting the cell, leaving the two alone. "Anahita, I've heard what happened in the Senate after I returned from a mission with my padawan. You've made a grave mistake coming to Coruscant and breaking into the Senate building!" Luminara said viciously to the teenage girl.
"It's not breaking in, it was just sneaking in because I was nervous about coming back!" she said anxiously at Master Luminara. "You had planned to come back?" she asked, surprised at her response. "Yes. I was kind of getting bored besides being scared. And I know it's too late to become a padawan." Anahita admitted, with a downwards look at the floor. "A padawan? You haven't even been instructed much at all! And for how long have you been sing a lightsaber?" Luminara asked, pressing further with the questions. "That's because I had no one to teach me, and yet, I actually have a great amount of dangerous potential. The lightsabers happen to just react to certain force sensitive's and they've worked pretty well for me." Anahita told Master Luminara, as she looked at her with suspicions about this theory.
She left, and other council members came to question her. Anyways, long story short, I made it through their questions after a couple hours, and was allowed to be instructed in the temple. Had I been in a better mood, I would've jumped for joy, but I was tired and annoyed, so it didn't really work. Of course, when they had me hand in my current clothes for Jedi robes, they were shocked at how skinny I was. But I think it was the arm in particular than anything. "I haven't eaten much in much in the past two months, okay? And it has nothing to do with anorexia!" Anahita told the women in the room, trying to take her eyes off her body's condition.
"Why did you stop eating?" Aayla asked, rummaging through a pile of smaller undergarment shirts. "I wasn't as hungry. And sometimes I was short on money, so I couldn't buy anything. Those were the only two real reasons." she replied, trying on a pair of pants. "I never imagined you would end up as a bounty hunter. Did you ever work as a normal person?" Aayla asked her again, as Anahita wrapped a larger robe around her body. "I pretty much had no normal life in work, can't help it. Only thing I had as a regular job was farming, but I did smaller amounts since I was little. My other jobs have included thief, assassin, and that's really it." she explained, settling on an outfit finally. She wore a light brown shirt covered by a long, split on the sides, green robe. A small, brown obi was around her waist, with brown pants and black flats. Her hair had been cut to a little bit past her shoulders, and she had two ruby colored earrings in her ears.
She quickly caught on, and was able to catch up to the classes the other younglings nearest to her age were at. Anahita had no time for making new friends; apparently she was too shy to make any. Most of her free time was spent with some of the other Jedi Knights and Masters, although they themselves sometimes frowned upon it; telling her to make more friends. She did, except for the fact that it was those from the council, and a few clones Ahsoka, Oni-Wan, and Anakin had introduced her to. Many of the kids laughed at her, thinking she was a failure, which of course, wasn't true at all. Her powers in the force were unstable, so they were all unaware of her strength. But one day, we all knew it would lead to disaster.
Okay, I don't own anything star wars, except my character Anahita Unduli II! Please review, I would like that very much! I will get to work on chapter three tommorow, it's a shorter chapter and kinda of a small inbetween story. Not saying whats in it, or who, you'll have to find out. The things only four pages to type, so you will have it in a day or two from tommorow. Unless my plans change or get involved, then expect it later. May the force be with you!
Note: To answer wo peoples same questions, Who is Anahita's father?, I am still working on this story, so alot of things have to be thought of, taken out, put in, revised and rediited, and thats why i haven't put it in yet. The story will get more into her past and all later, I can assure you of that! I am not sure myself of what I will do for who her father is yet either! Byes!
