Authors note: Admittedly this is not one of my best/exciting chapters but it had to be put in to make the story flow and make sense. Also it doesn't help that i am a writer that writes on the go. i.e. i don't write the full story, i write a chapter at a time and put it online. The next story i think i should write it all out first! Oh well, learn from you mistakes!

She Ran through the forest, carrying a small bundle to her breast, her long, brown hair coming out of her usual up done hairstyle in large wisps. Around her the sounds of creatures rustling round in the night echoed around her, twigs snapped upon the ground as she ran from the mysterious shadow. A howl was heard in the distance as she urged her legs to keep going, to keep running but her chest was becoming heavy and her brain was trying to shut down her eyes. Her foot caught onto a stray root upon the floor, causing her to go flying and the bundle from her hands began to cry. She tried to stand but the amount of pressure she was putting onto her ankle caused her to cry out in pain and fall to the floor again.

"Well, well, well. What have we got here?" a sinister voice spoke out through the shadows as a beautiful woman stepped out, her long, red hair flowing round her. Her eyes found the small bundle in the woman's hands, watching it squirm.

"Ah, little Kenobi. I think I'll take you." She said, prising the young baby out of her hands. The blanket fell from the child's head revealing auburn coloured curls sprouting from the top of his head, his soft, gentle face opening a gateway to hell as he cried and his large, blue grey eyes large eyes filled with tears as he stared into the red, devil eyes.

"Goodbye Obi Wan Kenobi" she said, withdrawing her crimson lightsaber, the blue eyes just staring into the red. Blue into red.

Chapter 9: Waking

The first thing he heard was the voices. Small voices in his head telling him he should wake up, see the world around him, voices outside his head urged him to wake up. Something tickled his nose lightly as he breathed in the smell of mint from toothpaste from the hot breath on his face. His eyelids flickered slightly as the hair glided across his face and a small voice whispered in his ear

"Wake up Obi" the small voice echoed round in his head as he embraced the sweet voice that filled his ear.

Obi Wan began to groan slightly, feeling a pain shoot through his left leg and slowly opened his eyes to see the Duchess Satine holding his hand, stroking it slightly, whilst talking to someone behind her. He closed his eyes again as they began to droop, and Satine came close to his face, almost within kissing distance and he felt a small tear fall onto his cheek, her hair brushing across his face and the smell of raspberries filling his nose.

"I must be dreaming," he mumbled, causing Satine to jump back in surprise, her beautiful face twisted with worry.

"Obi Wan" she gasped out, rushing back to his side, holding his hand and gripping it tight as though she was afraid of letting go and losing him. Anakin came running in, seeing that his Master was awake and sat beside him, his eyes filled with tiredness and pain.

"Master, are you ok?" he asked him, his powerful face filled with anxiety.

"To a point yes I am" he said, looking down towards his leg and reaching out to touch it, feeling a searing pain rush though it as he stretched out. Satine grasped his hand as his face twisted in pain and gently let her lips glide across it, the smooth texture of it soothing his pain, as a medic injected his leg to numb it.

"So where are we?" Obi Wan asked, looking round the white room, the windows blowing in cool air, around him the medics were rushing round making sure everything was ok.

"You are on Alderaan Master Kenobi," a voice sounded to the side of them as Senator Organa walked into the room, his senatorial robes flowing round him as he walked to the side of Obi Wan's bed and sat down.

"Alderaan. I don't remember arriving" Obi Wan said, his face confused.

"Obi Wan, you wouldn't remember arriving. You've been out for three days"

'Three days' Obi Wan thought to himself, looking round the white room, lit up by the windows making the room seem lighter. His head started to ache as he began to have a headache, the small voices in his head telling him something he didn't understand, his midichlorians telling him danger was coming, but he just didn't know where.

"Obi what happened?" Satine asked, her face filling with sadness and worry.

Obi Wan looked round at all the faces, feeling their gaze follow him as he shifted slightly and began to feel nervous.

"Well, I was walking onto the landing platform when this woman used the force on me and began to attack me…" Obi Wan began to explain his encounter with Manizra, Anakin, who had helped fight her with him seemed undeterred by the rendition he was giving, however Satine and Bail were shocked to hear that someone had tried to kill him right in front of the temple, with all the Jedi round, no one had found this woman.

"Then I fell asleep and woke up here"

"Obi Wan, you looked at that gash on your leg and passed out" Anakin said, correcting his Master, pushing him back down slightly as he tried to sit back up. Obi Wan, stroked his beard in deep thought. He began to think of the vision or dream, whatever it was and the woman who was in it. Her running through the forest, her brown hair fluttering behind her, her blue, grey eyes still stood in his head. The child in her hands. Little Kenobi? Was that him, the little baby?

"Umm Alderaan to Obi Wan you there?" Anakin knocked gently on Obi Wan's head, bringing him back to them all.

"Oh yeah" Obi Wan was still slightly distracted.

"Excuse me, Master Jedi, Master Kenobi should rest now." From behind them all a medical clone came out from the door and ushered them all out the door.

"Wait, can I just say goodbye before I go?" Satine asked, turning to face Obi Wan and the medical clone, her eyes pleading.

"Fine, just for a few minutes" the clone said, cracking under the pressure of the Duchess's large, icy blue eyes.

All of them left except Satine, who moved over slowly to Obi Wan's bedside, taking his hand and stroking it. Her eyes followed his, her hands slowly running through his hair, and her finger carelessly floating down his face.

"Obi Wan, I'm really glad your ok" she said finally, taking a small glance at his leg, which was still bandaged.

"I have to say, so am I," He said, taking Satine's hand in his own and covering it with his other hand.

Satine leaned into the Jedi Master and pressed him down onto his bed, only slightly and kissed him gently on his forehead, and stepped back.

"Satine wait" Obi Wan reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled her to him. She looked into his eyes again and leaned into him kissing him on the lips. Just brushing his lips slightly but it was passionately. She broke away and kissed him softly on his hand and pulled away, her hand gently pulling down his arm as she walked out the room, looking through the glass towards him as he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
