Okey dokey so it took me a little while for me to write this chapter because I kinda was addicted to my new lightsaber I got for Christmas but I'm back!

We got back to the main floor where we started at, Talex and the others should have been back by now. I pulled out the small silver comlink from my belt as I looked around this open room think, asking myself, Where were we? "Talex where the Force are you?" I screamed into the device. "Woah no need for yelling, we're heading back now." Talex replied. I let out a frustrated groan as I turned back to Master Willow and Omaris. "Have you found The Fighter?" I asked once again into the comlink.

"Yes we have."
"Have you found where we're at?"

"Yeah, were in a dwarf planet in the outer rim, it's pulling up under the name-"

"Let me guess Emporia."
"Exactly…"

Moments later Talex, Sparrow, Coliea, and Oli met us back at the open room almost instantly each of them were concerned for the three of us. "So we're on Emporia eh?" Omaris asked standing closer to me. Talex nodded, "It seems we were the only ones taken, the others are back at Haran." He replied. "So who are you anyways?" Sparrow asked looking at Omaris. She looked at me as if to ask who these people were but then she turned back to Sparrow and crossed her arms. "I'm Kenobi, Omaris Grace Kenobi, Jedi knight, the apprentice of Amarna Katina." She replied looking back at me. "Well now that we've been introduced let's get back to The Fighter." Master Willow said her voice weaker than usual. Oli caught the voice as soon as I did, she knew something was wrong but she stayed silent and close to Sparrow as possible. My Master grabbed her gaze as she looked at both of Oli's dark brown eyes. "I'm fine." She mumbled.

Once we got outside we were met with the harsh hot air mixed with the thick air that surrounded the tree lines in an itchy blanket. "Well isn't the weather wonderful?" Omaris said with a sarcastic tone as she whipped a thick line of blood that chased the line of her to-thin-for-her-age face with the collar of the red tank top that barely shone under her tunic. "Are you feeling dizzy?" I whispered making sure she'd be ok until Coliea could inspect her. She simply shook her head as we continued to walk to The Fighter. Frankly I was worried about her, she seemed slightly disoriented and much of her hair was coated in a thin layer of blood. It was odd that in the duel Omaris and I wasn't excessively injured. I saw her hit that wall; her head never hit it.

Talex and Coliea moved the thick walls of brush from off the majority of the ship and Omaris and I helped Master Willow to the medic room.

Coliea dabbed the wound around Master Willow's collarbone with a small white cloth soaked in alcohol. "Sorry if it burns Willow." She said in a calm voice as she reached around and grabbed a small needle. "Wait-wait-wait what the Force is that for!" Master Willow exclaimed trying to pull away from the small silver object. I tried to hold back laughter; I knew my Master wasn't afraid of anything, she was brave, strong, and fearless but if a needle came near her she freaked. "I have to numb the wound so I can put in the stitches Willy, unless you want it to hurt more." Coliea said. Master Willow turned her head away as Coliea gently inserted the needle around the deep gash.

After she administered the pain medicine and placed the stitches Master Willow fell asleep. Although I knew I was hurt I sat next to her never moving; I didn't want to leave her side, she was my sister. I turned towards Omaris who had both eyes closed as Coliea cleaned a small cut just below her hairline. "Do you know how you got hurt?" She asked testing her memory. Omaris nodded as she pushed her hair over her shoulder. "I was thrown across a metal room Ms. I didn't hit my head though." She replied letting Coliea inspect the other head wound on the back of her head. "This looks like you were hit with a rock or something are you sure you were never hit Omaris?" she asked again dabbing the wound with water. "I saw her Col, she was never hit." I said sitting next to Omaris. She looked at me as if to ask me why I was there but she never spoke.

Hours later I still sat beside Master Willow; I still hadn't moved out of the small chair. Coliea had tried to give me a cup of water but it still set untouched beside me. She was going to be ok I knew but I still didn't want to let go of her hand, I wanted to sit beside her forever. "Aduke?" Asked a voice in a low tone. I turned around to face the door; the light lit up Coliea's blue figure. "Hey Coliea." I replied with a small smile to hide the pain which I hadn't felt until now. She sat beside me and looked over my Master. "Is Ceneptece…?" She began to ask. I nodded, "Yes," I simply replied knowing that Coliea would assume that I was the one who did it.

It went silent for a moment and the dark kept creeping into the room. "Are you ok? She asked
"Fine…"
"No you aren't I may have only been studying the Force for a short time Aduke but I am also a doctor, I can tell you're hurt."
I thought about it for a second; my adrenaline was slowly dissipating leaving me in more and more pain but I didn't want to leave my Master. Coliea placed her hand on mine as she kissed the top of my head. "Fine…" I mumbled making her smile. "Good; I just want to make sure you're ok."
"Well I am."

I sat up on the medical table as Coliea took my vitals. She silently stuck the small silver needle into a dark blue vain just under my skin and pulled a small amount of blood up into the vile. "What's that for?" I asked. "Testing for infections." She said pushing the contents out of the vile onto a small silver disk.

"I never hurt myself Coliea; I don't understand why you're checking anyways."
"Omaris said the same thing and she was wrong. She hit the wall you saw her; but she didn't hit it to hard correct?"
"Yeah; she was thrown using the Force; but when I saw her she was covered in blood; is she ok now?"
"She had deep cuts everywhere; like you. They didn't look like blaster or lightsaber wounds either it almost looked like you two were cut by metal almost."
I looked down at my arms which had dozens of tiny cuts covering my skin. "There not too bad." I mumbled.
"Those aren't the ones I'm talking about." She said grabbing a small mirror sitting on a silver table and handed it to me. I pulled the glass up to my face and studied two small straight lines next to my eye and one just under that on my cheek. "See what I mean now Aduke; they look like there from glass or a sharp piece of metal." She continued dabbing more alcohol onto a bit of white cloth and cleaned each of the cuts. "They'll scar to Addy."
"I can see that, but it is an honor to wear them; they are metals I will see every day and when I look at them I will know that the light side has been bandaged." I replied handing back the mirror.

After Coliea was finished cleaning each of my wounds I walked back to my room where Master Willow, Omaris and I would be sleeping. "I'm not going to leave your Master like I left mine; and plus you look like you could use some company." She said to me instead of her going to her own room earlier. I sat back down on my bed and stared into the darkness. "Where did you go off to?" I heard Omaris say beside me. "Coliea wanted to check me out." I replied looking at her. The two strands of beads rested over her shoulders as she looked back at me. "Why do you have those?" I asked.
"Have what?"
"You have two strands of beads on each side of your head; they add up to twenty like the number of beads in my hair."
"Blame my Master; she made up this stupid thing. She said I was the Chosen One and as a symbol she but the number of people behind me that failed. It's stupid I know."
"It's not stupid if you believe in the prophecy."
"Yeah well I don't."
I pulled back my loose hair and let the long strand of beads fall over my shoulder. "Neither do I but my Master's Master did and when I became a Jedi Willow put twenty beads in replace of my Padawan braid. I believe that the twenty beads stand for something else though."
"That's one way to think of it." She said reaching over her bed and pulling out a black backpack. She unzipped the zipper and rummaged around until she pulled out to red apples. "Want one?" She asked outstretching her hand. I nodded and took the small fruit from her. I didn't like that I felt comfortable around her; like I could tell her what I was thinking, that she could be a friend of mine. I didn't like the idea of having a bond with someone. The more you have the more it hurts.

Omaris's point of view
I handed the apple to Aduke and leaned back against the wall taking a bite into my own fruit. She was silent for a moment and as she was I closed my eyes and thought a moment. I didn't have any friend, I didn't want any, I believed that not having anyone meant you'd never be hurt. I took another bite into the apple but the more I tried to keep the thought in my mind the more I thought that Addy was better than the so called "friends" I had at the Jedi temple when I was still a youngling and hadn't learned even what a "loner" was. Addy seemed to know what I was thinking, had the same opinion as I did, but then again I didn't like having friend. But she knew how to get through my maze; instead of hitting a wall she got to the center. "Stop thinking that Massa, you're a loner, a grey Jedi, a Kenobi, you don't need a friend you need to find your Master." I thought to myself pushing the thoughts out of my mind. "Where did you get the stuff inside anyways; you never had the bag when I first saw you." I heard Addy say which pulled me out of my train of thought.

Addy's point of view.
"I- I got people." Omaris replied looking at the backpack.
"There are only seven people on this ship though."
"Coliea is one of my people."
"What's inside?"
Omaris peaked her head inside the bag and rummaged through for a moment before replying, "Um about enough C4 to blow up five planets of your choice, enough supplies to make about thirty bombs, some grenades, a pack of Nerf jerky and apples."
"Do you know how to use that stuff?"
"Yeah my Master taught me when I was little." Omaris replied her painted dark red-almost-black fingernails touched the lightsaber on the belt of her for a moment as she hid her sadness. "Who was your Master anyways? What happened to her?"
"We were both kidnaped by Ceneptece when the Order was sent out. For days we were beaten for information of the rebellion. When we landed in Haran I was able to escape but Amarna was tied in chains. She told me to just go; I don't know where she is now but I sense her still."
I felt kind of bad for her; having to leave her Master. It was quiet for a moment as I tried to think of something to say but nothing came. "Amarna does this thing with her arms; whenever something happens like the day she found me she cut a small line in her inner wrist with this knife of her's that doesn't leave blood then it slices. Many of the Jedi Council thought she was depressed and cut herself; when they asked her if she wanted to die I remember her replying, 'There is no death there is the Force so what's the point.'"
I let out a small laugh and took another bite of my apple. "Sounds like something my Master would say."
"She used to know Willow when they were younger; but I never really knew her until now."
"Willow raised me you know; the day I was born this huge fire swept through Corusant and Griffin's father brought us to the safest place, the Jedi temple. He died later that night; we two were the only survivors. I've learned that Ceneptece was the one who did it, she meant to only kill me but she failed; Sora Nuala betrayed the Jedi and used the Force to do it." I rubbed the small cut on my cheek with the sleeve of my tunic. Suddenly I heard a loud screams echo through my head; the sounds of the people in the fire.
"You said a fire in Corusant?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Might sound stupid but three years after I was taken to the Jedi temple a whole section of Corusant went up in flames, it killed my family."
Maybe it was stupid but I mean nothing is impossible just highly improbable. "Yeah…" She mumbled. "Just as I thought stupid."
"No it's not stupid I mean at least you weren't in the fire or anything."
"True but you were."
"Yeah but I don't remember it; just the screams. I was only a couple hours old."

I don't know who fell asleep first Omaris or me, maybe we fell asleep at the same time, and maybe we'll never know. But I do remember what I dreamt. I stood in a white room. Nothing was around me except the colorless walls. It was so lifelike though as if I was transported from the ship to here. "Hiya!" Said a bubbly voice behind me. When I turned around I faced a girl a few years older than me. Her long black hair covered most of her face like a thin blanket. I reached for my lightsaber but kept it off. "Who are you?" I ordered. "Oh I'm Jedi Nuala; you can call me Sora though." She replied with a happy smile. Sora, as in Ceneptece; but she didn't look anything like her. She looked about Omaris's age with light brown hair and pale hazel eyes that sparkled in this imaginary light. Jedi do not fight unless they are fought against. I thought. "What do you want?" I asked the cold hilt shook in my hand ready to ignite under my command. Suddenly her eyes turned black as a swarm of darkness swam around her, "I want you dead!" She hissed a blade of red jutted out of the water like blackness. I powered on my own lightsaber setting myself in the beginning form of Soresu. She laughed as lightning swarmed out of the tornado. I blocked the powerful hit with the violet blade of my weapon when I felt a pair or hand grab my shoulders and pull me away from the darkness.
I let out a scream as I was once again transported to a dark yellow cave. A cold wave fell over me as I once again reached for my lightsaber. "No need to panic Aduke." I heard a voice behind me. Turning around I faced a younger woman around Master Willow's age. She had a light purple skin tone with burgundy colored hair that hid a pair of head tails. She looked like the description of Amarna, Omaris's Master but then again she didn't, she looked as though she had just pulled herself out of the lava rivers of Mustafar and walked here, to this cave, where ever it was. "You Omaris's Master aren't you?" I assumed. She let out a small laugh and nodded, "Willow did a good job at training you I presume?" I hooked my weapon back to my belt uncertain of where and what I was doing here. "Yeah…" I replied.
"Do you know why you're here?"
"Where is 'here' anyways?"
"Well frankly nowhere, in one way your dreaming."
"So you apart of my dream?"
"Not exactly; I've came into your dreams through the Force; I came here to help you get away from Ceneptece."
"I'm not afraid of her though."
"You don't have to be afraid of someone to escape them."
Frankly I was confused but it was if she could sense it. Amarna let out a small laugh, "You may not be afraid of her, but you are afraid that you never killed her."
Surprise shocked through my mind, "But I remember killing her Amarna, it's not like I dreamed it." She nodded, "No, it wasn't a dream but that doesn't mean you killed her."
"But I remember the lightsaber hitting her, I saw her die."
"You only thought you saw her die though; but frankly Aduke you never truly killed her; you only thought you hit her heart, and you only thought you heard that voice in your mind to do it."
"That's not true though, it's impossible, I remember the light side surrounding me-"
"Because you didn't kill her; it isn't the Jedi way to kill someone unarmed and you know it. That voice in your mind was covered by a blanket of someone you trusted but under it was the dark voice of Sideous. But unconsciously you went against it, you never hit her heart; and she is still alive, hiding, with The Darkness."

I opened my eyes to see Master Willow shaking me awake. "Aduke wake up!" She exclaimed. I sat up from the bed looking at her; she was still dressed in her medical clothes but her I.V's had been removed. "What happened?" I asked. "You were screaming in your sleep, I had to make sure you were ok." She replied her bright green eyes were wide and concerned. I looked around the room; we were still in flight to Force knows where, we were still in the room I had fell asleep, the apple core still beside my pillow. Omaris sat beside me; her long dark blonde hair covered most of her face. "Where are we going to Master?" I asked again my heart pounded against the broken ribs that were set in a bandage that wrapped around my torso under my tunic. "Haran, why do you ask?"
"Tell The Defiant to meet us on Endor."
"Why Aduke?" Omaris questioned her cobalt eyes tired and worried.
"Because Ceneptece will be waiting for us there…" The words slid off my tongue like poison.
The two of them looked at me as if I was completely insane but I knew in my mind that Ceneptece's little minions would be waiting for us. "I never killed her…" I mumbled.
"What do you mean you never killed her Aduke? I know you did!" Omaris exclaimed.

I tried to explain to them my "dream" and how I never killed Ceneptece, how she was somewhere waiting with something called "The Darkness". At first they both thought I was crazy but they seemed to know what I meant.

"Why Endor?" Coliea asked over Master Willow's comlink. "I'll tell you later; just tell the main ship to meet us there."
"Uh- sure- I guess…"
She looked at me then as if to ask me if I was sure but she saw through my eyes that we had to go.
I felt The Fighter shake as it turned from it north. I chill of the light side covered the whole room as I pulled my robe back over my shoulders; I was the only one in the room everyone had left to tell the main ship where we were going instead. "Hey um Aduke?" I heard a voice call out behind me. When I turned around Omaris was standing in the door way her lapis eyes were sad and concerned. "What's wrong?" I asked. "You said you had that dream, my Master was there... Is she-"
"No, she's alive, but she didn't say where she was."
"Thanks…" Then she started to walk away again still concern washed over her. "Hey Omaris?" I asked. "Yeah?"
"You ok…"
"Yeah…"
"You sure?"
"Uh… yeah…"
Then she left leaving me alone once more.
