Chapter 11: 2 Days Later

Obi Wan sat on the side of his bed, the light seeping through his window and his leg resting carelessly on a stool. The bandage was itchy on his bare skin; the gash on his leg still hadn't recovered and his bandage had to be continuously changed every few hours to clean the wound from weeping and infection and boy it hurt. He had been in his room for two days, on his own. Nobody came to see him, not Anakin, not Bail not even Satine. He was just on his own for two days with no visitors and just R4 for company. He watched as the birds landed on the small tree outside his window, their small songs filling his heart as he carefully stood up and made his way to the balcony, the cool air blowing through his hair and his eyes opening up around him to see the blue sky, no clouds, no pollution just him and nature. He sat himself down on the floor of the balcony, breathed in the sweet fresh air and closed his eyes and began to meditate.

She waited in the forest, her blonde hair twisting round her face as the wind blew round her and the sky's opened up to reveal a waterfall of rain come crashing down on the woman, the forest seemed alive around her as the leaves rustled in the wind and the sound of branches snapping echoed round in his head. Some footsteps came closer, the sound of twigs crunching on the ground as a pair of shoes came into the scene.

"Satine are you ok?" the voice said, his voice filled with concern.

"Oh I'm fine Master Kenobi, its you who should worry" Satine's voice seemed creepy and nothing like her. Her dress was ragged and ripped, twigs layered her hair and as she slowly turned round her eyes were no longer the icy blue colour that always sent him spiralling into heaven but now they were red, tinged with rays of yellow. The eyes punctured his heart as she came closer towards him and gave him a un-Satine like smile, as she bared her teeth at him and the sky turned black and everything began to fade.

Obi Wan yanked his eyes opened as he saw the red and yellowish eyes staring into his own eyes, his pants filled his lungs with air as he stood up quickly and looked into the garden. Anakin was outside on the grass, a female servant; a rather pretty female servant was bringing him a drink, and she was trying but failing miserably to flirt with the Jedi. Obi Wan chuckled as Anakin continued to chat to her as she gazed it his eyes, watching as she sighed and walked away, head in the clouds. There was a slight tap at the door and Obi Wan turned round to see a pretty young woman, no older than 18, her long blonde hair flowed down her back and her blue dress cut short at the knee waiting at the door.

"Hello there" Obi Wan said, looking curiously at the small letter in the woman

"Master Kenobi, I was asked by the Duchess Satine to drop of this letter to you" she said timidly, her small voice barely being heard over the sound of the birds.

"Thank you" he said, eagerly taking the letter out of her hands and watching as she left the room.

Obi,

Tonight is the Alderaan Ball and I wondered if you still wished to accompany me. If you do please do try wear something a bit more…appropriate than your Jedi attire. Master Skywalker is also allowed to come if he wishes, but he must be a bit tidier than his…usual clothing choice of black.

It starts at 7:00 but I would hope to see you at the top of the stairs by about 6:45.

Hope to see you there,

Love Satine

Obi Wan smiled to himself as he read through the letter written with Satine's delicate hands. 'Definitely still coming' he thought to himself joyfully as he went through his draws and pulled out his smart robes. They were a tanned colour, and he usually wore them for council meetings or special occasions and this was special. Beside him R4 was beeping happily, his little head spinning round making Obi Wan laugh out loud.

"R4 make sure no one comes in, I'm going for a bath"

'Yes Master Obi' R4 beeped as Obi Wan walked into the bathroom and began to remove each layer of his robe whilst the sound of running water filled his ears. 'Why are there so many layers' he thought to himself miserably as he folded everything up on a neat pile on a chair and slipped into the bath, letting the water soothe down his worries and the bubbles pile high over his head, giving them a gentle blow and letting them float down onto the tip of his nose. After about 30 minutes he slipped out, placed a towel round his waist and walked out the bathroom. R4 was still patrolling the area and gave a satisfied beep, and began to sing a little tune to himself. There was a small knock at the door and Obi Wan pulled a robe over himself and opened the door to be greeted by Senator Organa who was holding a smallish largish parcel.

"For you Master Kenobi" Bail said, handing the parcel to him, feeling the smooth silk of the wrappings as he undid the ribbon to be greeted by a dark blue fabric. Smiling to himself, Obi Wan traced the lining of the sleeves, the smooth texture gliding across his fingers, the blue lighting up his heart. 'Satine' he thought to himself.

"I do hope you like it Master Kenobi. I picked it out myself" Bail asked, nervous at what the Jedi Master would say.

"Senator, it's wonderful. Thank you."

Bail sighed, letting his chest exhale the air that had been trapped there for the past few minutes.

"The I shall be seeing you at the Ball at 7:00?"

"It would be my honour Senator" Obi Wan bowed towards the Senator who in turn nodded his head and walked out the room.

He pulled the robe from the parcel; the long trailing blue followed him round the room as he placed it round him. He felt the smooth silk rest upon his arms, the lightness of it, the warmth.

R4 beeped and Obi Wan looked towards the clock and saw that it was 6:40. 'Time to go' he thought to himself joyfully as he walked down the corridor, straightening out his hair, brushing the dust of his new robes and the sound of his shoes squeaking across the marble floor, the smell of shoe polish filling his nose.

The sound of talking filled his ears as he continued to walk through the hallway, passing couples in formal robes as he went.

"Hey master!" Anakin grabbed Obi Wan's shoulders making him jump up in shock, laughing at him as his face went slowly redder.

"Anakin, do not do that again!"

Anakin laughed again and walked with Obi Wan towards the staircase to meet Satine.

"WOW" Anakin stopped suddenly causing Obi Wan to smack into the back of him.

"Ana…" he stopped as Anakin pointed towards the top of the staircase where two women waited, talking to each other and laughing.

The brown haired woman had her long hair left down, the curls waving round her face, her long blue dress flowing round her, moving every time she moved.

The other, her short blonde hair rested on her shoulders, the curls now delicately blowing round in the wind, her emerald green dress flowing round her, draping across the marble floor, her small waist squeezed in from the dress.

Anakin and Obi Wan just stood there, gob smacked from the lady's beauty, and as the blonde woman turned Obi Wan felt as his mouth dropped and looked into the icy blue eyes of the woman, her perfect complexion, her red lips.

"Hello Master Kenobi" Satine said as she came towards him, a smile coming to her face as she noticed him, staring into his grey-blue eyes.

"Shall we begin?"

"It would be my honour Duchess"
