Chapter 4- The Jedi Party-
December 21st, 21 BBY-
The winter season was in full swing on Coruscant, the bitter cold hitting the buildings fiercely. Anahita was woken up from her sleep by her roommate and closest friend, Ahsoka Tano. "What is it, Ahsoka?" Anahita mumbled, turning over to the right side of the bed and looking at the excited looking Togruta. "Tonight's the party! Come on, Anahita! Time to get up, sleepyhead." Ahsoka said, trying to pull the girl out of bed. "Ugh, what time is it?" she asked, as she put the covers back on.
"Eight-oh-nine. You always meet Master Fisto at eight thirty for breakfast. Don't want to be late now, do you?" Ahsoka replied, teasing Anahita to provoke her. "Alright, I'll get up. Stop nagging." she said, getting up off her bed. She grabbed her Jedi robes, winter leggings, and boots, and got changed into them. Fixing her hair, she finished putting her earrings in, and left the bedroom with Ahsoka. They walked down to the dining hall, and Ahsoka said goodbye, going to sit over with some other Padawans. Kit was sitting over at another table, as Anahita got her breakfast and sat down in front of him.
"Good morning, Anahita. You're earlier than usual." Kit said to her, cutting up some meat on his plate. "Good morning, Kit. Ahsoka woke me up." Anahita said, looking up at him. She started to eat her food, when Kit suddenly asked her a question. "Would you be my date, Anahita?" Kit asked her quickly, looking a bit nervous. Anahita swallowed the food in her mouth, and looked at him in surprise. "Excuse me?" she asked with disbelief, trying to understand if Kit was joking or not. "Let me restate that. Anahita, would you like to be my date for the party tonight?" Kit asked her, as he knew his question had taken her by surprise. Both were quite friendly with each other, and a majority of their free time was spent talking or sometimes training. He'd been hesitant whether or not to ask her, but decided to take a chance.
"I'd love to, Kit." Anahita answered him, her cheeks glowing a light pink. "Excellent. I'll see you later, Ana!" Kit said, smiling, as he finished his breakfast and left. 'He called me by my nickname… I can't believe we're going on a date! Secretly, of course. I haven't felt like this before. Could this be a crush?' Anahita thought, blushing at the thought of them going to the party tonight.
Meanwhile, a Jedi student was planning something devious. "Tonight's the party. You know where to meet me, right?" said Trevor, a boy no more than thirteen years old. He was still without a master, and felt that the light side of the force was too weak. The dark side had to be stronger. "Yes. And then we'll be free, right?" asked Shira, a twelve year old, who had short brown hair and purple eyes. "Of course." he replied, putting a hand on her shoulder. She smiled, unaware of the real plan Trevor had thought of.
As Anahita got ready for the party that evening, her force sensitive powers kept bugging her. "Something's going to happen tonight." she told Ahsoka, tying her red dress at her neck. "What are you talking about? What's going to happen?" Ahsoka asked, wondering what Anahita was talking about. "I felt a disturbance in the force earlier this afternoon, and it hasn't gone away at all today. And I don't know if it's good or bad." Anahita told her with an annoyed expression. "There's nothing bad that will happen. It's a party; you need to be happy, not paranoid! Master Fisto and you need to go forward in your relationship." Ahsoka said as she placed her hand on her arm gently. "Okay. But I'm taking my mini stun blaster just in case!" she said, taking a blaster out that was about the size of her hand from the small desk next to her bed.
"If it makes you feel better. Let's go." Ahsoka said, letting it go. Attaching it to her thigh, they left to go to the party. "Anahita, you look beautiful. Excuse us, Ahsoka." Kit said when he saw her descending the staircase in a red, neck string dress that reached down to her knees. "Thank you, Kit." Anahita said to her date, as Ahsoka let them by, Kit slipping his arm into hers. He wore his usual Jedi robes, unlike Anahita who tended to somehow own things she shouldn't. "You're welcome. I'm looking forward to spending tonight with you, Anahita." She looked at him smiling sweetly, and replied, "Me too." They headed into the room, and enjoyed talking and eating.
"Kit, wanna dance?" Anahita asked the Nautolan later in the night. "Yes, but I want to talk to you afterwards outside." Kit said taking her hand and leading her to the dance floor. A slower song was playing, as they held one another by the waist and arms. 'Aw, they're dancing together! They look so great together dancing, it's like they were made for each other!' Ahsoka thought, watching the two floating across the floor. The song ended, and the two stopped dancing. "I need to talk to you now." Kit said seriously, as she nodded and they walked out onto the terrace. "Is there something wrong, Kit?" she asked worriedly, fidgeting with her fingers. "No. It's something I want to ask you. Do you feel you're ready to be a padawan?" Kit asked her, staring out into the city night time. "Yes. Why do you ask?" she asked, her fingers finally not fidgeting.
"I've been thinking of taking you as my padawan, once I talk to the council and they decide. What do you think of it?" Kit said, as she looked at him with joy in her eyes. "It would be an honor if you were my master, Kit." her reply came, as he smiled with relief. "Very well. I'll talk to the council within the next-get down!" Kit said, as he pulled Anahita down to the ground, just as a medium sized speeder grazed over their heads. It landed, many Jedi now noticing the aircraft from inside. "What is a speeder doing here?" Kit asked out loud, both still lying on the ground. "This is the disturbance I felt in the force today." Anahita said in horror, realizing her guess had come true.
"You felt it in the force? We have to figure out the situation, most of the Jedi here are without their lightsabers." he asked urgently, as they stayed low, along the side of the ship. "Yes, because no one would dare infiltrate the Jedi temple! Look, it's only a teenage boy. Why would he be doing this?" Anahita said sarcastically to Kit, pointing at the person standing in the dim light flowing from the temple room. "We'll just have to find out. What are you doing?" Kit said, but was feeling uncomfortable when she lifted one of the sides of her dress. On her leg, she had a band holding a stun blaster. "Weapon. I thought it would be better to have it in case of an emergency." Anahita said, fixing her dress back.
"You took a weapon with you? It'll be handy right now, lucky for us." Kit asked with a heavy sigh, wondering how she got that in the first place. "How should we approach this? Everyone's in there, and we're out here." "We need to approach him from behind and try to pin him down. I'll go first, follow my lead. If her attacks, fight him physically or shoot if possible. Understand?" Kit said to her, laying out the plan. She nodded in understanding, and he silently walked toward the kid. Anahita stayed a few inches behind him, staying focused on their target. Inside, Shira had gotten Trevor's signal, and was moving closer towards the window. All of a sudden, the glass from the window shattered into tiny pieces towards the Jedi.
They scrambled away from the glass, and Trevor stepped into the room. "All of you just stay where you are! Shira, get in the ship." Trevor ordered everyone, as some reached for their lightsabers on their robes. Shira stepped forward, following his order and ignoring the stares from behind and beside her. "What do you think you can do, kid? You have no way to stop an entire room full of Jedi!" Anakin said angrily, and Trevor sneered at him. "With this, Master Skywalker." he said simply, pointing a double sized blaster over in Anakin's direction. By now, Shira was almost into the ship, when she was suddenly force pushed into the wall. Anahita appeared from the shadows, her outstretched hand the source of the ambush. "Let me go! This is my chance for freedom, and you're ruining it!" she cried out, as Trevor heard the commotion. "Take your force push off of Shira or I'll" Trevor cried at Anahita hesitating, pointing his blaster at her. "Or you'll what? Shoot me? Kid, have you ever shot someone? I doubt you have." Anahita said to finish his sentence, taunting the boy.
"Shut up!" he yelled at her, taking the safety off and shooting his blaster at Anahita. Luckily his aim was off, and hit the balcony instead. Kit moved in, taking Trevor by surprise. He shot two blasts, but Kit dodged them quickly and grabbed Trevor's right arm; attempting to disarm him. A beam of purple swept across the air, nearly hitting one of Kit's tentacles. "He took a lightsaber with him! Kit, watch out!" Mace observed the boy's movements, as he cried out in alarm for the Jedi Master. Kit felt a sting of pain, as the lightsaber cut across the side right side of his chest in a diagonal line that ran down to about his waist. Blood flowed from his chest, as he panted a little bit. Anahita's body froze, her eyes looking straight at Kit in horror.
Trevor laughed darkly, as he swung the lightsaber right by the top of Kit's left eye, but Anahita moved in to block it. With her hand! She was holding the lightsaber, made of pure energy by her right hand, pushing back against its weight. "Anahita, that's dangerous! Take your hand off the lightsaber before it burns your whole hand!" Kit cried out in panic, but her hand remained there. "Your friend it has been let go now. Either leave with her or declare yourself our enemy or" Anahita told him as she put her blaster to his neck, but then, she felt strange. Her chest was tight, she couldn't breathe! She felt her hand rising to grab her neck. It was a force choke!
Trevor lifted her up and his lightsaber was now back in his full possession. She was being held in the air by the force choke, her face brimming with suffocating pain. Shira was now heading onto the ship, but no one had their focus on her. 'Why is he doing that stunt? He never mentioned anything like this in the plan! Trevor, please hurry!' Shira thought, starting the engine up. The system was brought to life, as she flipped switches on and off. Obi-Wan headed out to help Kit, realizing Anahita wouldn't last long if the boy kept up this act. "Why are you doing this, boy? How can you hurt your fellow Jedi?" Kit asked him, wanting answers. "Master Fisto, you're too nice for your own good. Everyone here is limiting me, keeping me at a low level to prevent me from becoming the greatest Jedi ever! I'm taking Shira with me to the dark side; where we can fall in love without the restrictions of the Jedi code!" Trevor cried in anger and a rising, insane voice.
"You're wrong, young one. This isn't the path you should take!" Kit told him, as his lightsaber lunged at him, Kit dodged it easily. He hit Trevor in the face, causing him to lose focus and shifting his balance to the side. This caused Trevor's force choke to leave Anahita's body, as she fell downwards. Kit used the force to lower her gently down from the air. "Trevor, let's go! Master Kenobi's coming for you!" Shira cried out of the speeder, as he saw that she was right. "Drat! Fine, we're leaving! Have all systems ready to take flight!" Trevor said, giving in. Obi-Wan came to the rescue, just as Trevor started to leave, but he barely got to the ship when he was tackled by Obi-Wan.
"Let me go!" he cried at Obi-Wan, attempting to get his arms off him. "No. You're staying here, along with your friend Shira too." Obi-Wan said, holding him still. Anahita was safe now, her hand bleeding a dark red, and was breathing heavily, trying to get air back into her lungs. Shira suddenly jumped out of the ship and kicked Obi-Wan straight in the head. He let go of Trevor, who used the chance to escape while the Jedi Master was recovering from the girl's quick attack. Obi-Wan groaned as he put a hand to his slightly aching head. The sound of the speeder starting to rise into the nighttime sky reached his ear.
He looked up dizzily at it, and it sped off into the city. "Master, are you alright?" Anakin asked Obi-Wan as he came onto the terrace. "I'm fine. More importantly, we need to track down those younglings. It's rare for anyone to leave the order, but no one has attempted something like this!" Obi-Wan said to Anakin seriously. "We'll catch them soon enough Master." Anakin reassured him, and they returned inside. The party resumed, although the Jedi council went into Anahita was left alone now, since Kit was on the council and had to go to the meeting. Right before he left, he took her aside in a secluded part of the hallway outside the ballroom.
"I'm really sorry we didn't more time together, Anahita. Will you be alright?" Kit asked in concern, taking her uninjured hand in his lightly. "I'll be okay, Kit. I'm just happy we got to be together for a little bit tonight. Not letting one little disturbance ruin my mood. But, thank you, for taking me this evening." Anahita said to him, blushing slightly. "Nothing can bring you down, can it?" Kit asked humorously, as she laughed lightly. Kit took his hand off hers and raised her chin up with the same hand. She felt her heart beating in her ears, as she waited for this special moment. He leaned into her face, and kissed her softly on the lips. Anahita's face turned an even deeper color, Kit clearly used to kissing.
They unlocked their lips, saying nothing to each other with longing for more emotion to their ever intertwining souls. They parted, and Anahita was in deep thought while a medical droid worked on fixing her hand. 'I can't believe we kissed. Wow, I'm only fifteen and I've finally been kissed! Kit was so nice, and he's asking me to be his padawan. Well, I already said yes, so I hope the council is generous enough to grant the request!' Anahita thought anxiously, as the medical droid finished wrapping up her hand with bandages. The droid told her she could leave, and to come back for a change of bandages the next day. She left, and headed back to her room, changing out of her dress, and into a tee shirt and sweatpants. Lying in the dark room, she fell asleep.
But her dreams turned into nightmares. She felt herself running, as she was murmuring in her sleep. Her legs were going so fast she didn't even feel the wounds created by plants on the forest floor. The beast was catching up to her, its four legs taking the advantage of the human's two legs. Anahita felt her legs tighten, as she came up to the edge of the cliff. The rocks fell off in tiny bits, as she skidded to a halt. The creature had now cornered Anahita, and stalked slowly towards her. Backing up wasn't an option, or she would fall straight to her death. Inches away now, the beast had its teeth bared, ready to rip her to bloody pieces. In that instant, as the animal lunged for her heart, a blur of green and brown blocked its path. The blaze of a green lightsaber cut the animal down to its death, as it no longer attacked her. She moved forward cautiously towards him, wanting to know who had saved her.
"Are you alright?" he asked the teenage girl, turning to look at her. Anahita's eyes grew even wider, as she realized who it was standing right in front of her. Kit Fisto, her friend, master, and most importantly, her crush. Anahita woke up suddenly, her body springing upwards in bed. Ahsoka was still undisturbed in her sleep, her dream most not have woken her. 'A dream. It was only a dream.' she thought, taking a deep breath and then letting it out. 'But I could have sworn it wasn't too far in the future. Everything seemed so real. Could it be real, or just a dream? But Kit showed up to save me! Maybe this is the force telling me something that is to happen to me.' she thought, as she settled back down in her bed to sleep. A new life was opening to her, as the darkness became ever nearer to the youngling.
