Chapter 7
Here it is folks, the last chapter… of the first book! Near the end, there will be the name of the next book. Enjoy!
Serena moaned, trying to wake up. Where am I? She thought. She slowly opened her eyes, only to see an alien approach her with a needle. She bolted up, trying to get away. The seppies must have taken me to some base. She thought. She suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. "Serena, you're safe, lie back down," Obi-Wan said. Serena groaned, knowing he was right. Her back was screaming in pain.
"Master, what's that?" Serena asked, pointing her finger at the alien. Obi-Wan chuckled. "That's a kaminoan, she won't hurt you," He explained, realising Serena had never seen a kaminoan.
Serena stared at the alien, her eyes on the needle. "Serena, don't worry, she just needs to give you some pain medicine," Obi-Wan said. "Master, maybe you should knock me out so I won't feel the needle stab me," Serena said. Obi-Wan stared, until it hit him. "Are you afraid of needles?" he asked. "Yes, they are giant but skinny swords that could kill someone. One time I had a needle stuck in my arm, I got really scared, because I couldn't get it out!" Serena explained, getting nervous when the alien approached her.
Obi-Wan sighed. "Serena, what you did on Umbara with Maul was reckless. You could have died from that fall. Everyone says there was no way you could have survived that fall. But I'm proud," He explained. Serena turned her head, giving the doctor the advantage. "Really- ow! That hurt!" Serena said as the doctor pulled the needle out. Obi-Wan chuckled, remembering Anakin's hate for needles. You had to lock the door from the outside to make sure he didn't escape.
"Yes, you managed to stay alive when fighting Maul, which most padawan's don't stand a chance against a sith," he calmly explained. Serena sighed, until she noticed her locket was missing. "Master, where's my locket?" she asked, getting frantic.
Obi-Wan grabbed the locket, looking at the strange symbol on the front. It was a dragon wrapped around a large fire, and inside the fire was a human raising it's hands to the air. "Here you go, I must say, I've never seen a locket with that symbol. Care to explain what it means?" Obi-Wan asked.
Serena sighed. "No, I don't know what it means, but what makes it more frustrating is that I can't open it," Serena explained, putting the locket on. Obi-Wan stared, looking confused. "But it's a locket, it's suppose to open!" Obi-Wan blurted out. Serena was silent. "Believe me Master, I've tried to in the past, but it stays shut. I even tried my lightsaber, not a scratch."
Obi-Wan was about to the say something when Master Yoda and Windu walked in. "Good to see you awake, padawan Mandre. Feared the worst we did," Yoda said. Serena bowed her head in respect to the old but wise master, wincing at the pain in her neck. "So, how long until we go back to battle?" Serena asked. "The council has decide that do to the hard fall you had, you are to remain at the temple to relax," Master Windu said, chuckling at the girls shocked look.
"But Masters, I'm ready to go now, I'm perfectly fi- Ooowww!" she said, sitting back down. "You can still walk around the temple, but your back still needs to heal. Master Kenobi will stay with you to make sure you stay out of trouble," Master Windu said.
Serena sighed, knowing the masters were right. She was in no condition to go to battle yet. "Alright, can I at least go to my room?" Serena asked, making her eyes look all puppy eyed. Master Yoda chuckled, unaffected by her innocent, puppy eye look. Unfortunetly, Master Windu was affected, and Obi-Wan had no choice, but to fall off his chair laughing at Serena's funny but seriously cute puppy eye look. "Yes, you may move to your quarters, Padawan Mandre," Yoda said, allowing Serena to stop her cute look. Master Windu shook his head. Obi-Wan got up, trying to get the smile off his face whiling helping Serena get up. "That has got to be the most funniest but seriously cute look I have ever seen!" He said, trying not to laugh. "Beware you should, Master Kenobi, because affect the other members of the council, her puppy eye look does!" Master Yoda said.
There you go. I thought it would be funny if Serena had this seriously cute puppy eye look that works on all members of the council. Anyway, review. And now, the moment you've been waiting for, the title of the next Fire Girl Saga book… the title is… The Hunter and The Hunted. Serena has pretty much recovered from her accident. She decides to visit the village her parents grew up in to see some old friends with Senator Amidala. However, things get out of control when Serena and Padme are hunted by ruthless hunters that are lead by three powerful beings that seem to know about Serena… and the truth about her power with fire.
