Sophie sighed anxiously. She had been wandering around the Felucian terrain for hours, to no avail.
"I have to find some type of track eventually."
Sophie Cruiser had been sent on her first solo mission; she was to track and report on the WindWarriors, a dangerous band of bounty hunters.
Three days had already passed and she hadn't found any sign of the hunters.
The com-link on Sophie's wrist began to blink; a message from her master.
She hurriedly pulled her holo out of her pocket. Seconds later, a hologram of Master Obi-Wan Kenobi appeared before her eyes.
"Sophie, I'm glad to see that you're alright."
Relief shone in Master Kenobi's eyes; he's worried about her everyday since she left. Obi-Wan didn't think Sophie was ready for this solo mission, but he knew she wouldn't tell him that.
Sophie had only been Obi-Wan's padawan for a few months, so they weren't extremely close yet. Master Kenobi had started to become attached to the young girl, though.
"It's nice to see you as well, Master."
Sophie smiled; she hoped her Master couldn't see the fear in her eyes.
"Have you found any traces of the WindWarriors?"
"No Master, not yet."
Obi-Wan wished he could be there to comfort the young girl; Sophie had struggled with the transition from her old life to her life now.
He heard her screams night after night from the nightmares. He knew she was afraid.
"It is still earlier my very young apprentice, you will soon."
"Yes Master."
Sophie still felt uncomfortable around Obi-Wan. Often, after a bout of nightmares kept her up all night, Obi-Wan would give her this sympathetic look; she knew he knew about her struggles.
He also knew that there wasn't much he could do for her either; this was something she would have to accomplish on her own in her own timing.
He had to ask her though.
"Sophie, are you sure you're alright? If you don't think you can handle this mission you can come back."
He knew she wouldn't come back though, she was too stubborn.
"No Master Obi-Wan, I'm alright. I can complete my mission."
"If you say so. If you do change your mind though, don't hesitate to contact me."
"Yes Master. I will alert you as well as the council when I find a trace of the hunters."
The pair bowed their heads to each other before ending the transmission.
Sophie winced as a shiver ran through her. Oh how she hoped her Master didn't realize how fearful she was. She was supposed to be brace and strong, a warrior, but she sure didn't feel like one.
"I guess I'll continue to follow this path until I see another option."
Sophie walked along the path for hours; she continued miserably until nightfall. When it became too dark to continue she set up camp.
She was so tired she easily passed out the minute her she laid her head down.
Sophie hadn't been asleep long though, before she felt a pair of hands clasp down hard over her arms and mouth. Her eyes bolted open.
"Well well well, Sophie how very nice it is to finally meet you."
Standing before Sophie were the very men she had been hunting, the WindWarriors.
"It wasn't very hard to lure you out here into our trap you know? I had thought a Jedi would be a little more fun than that."
Sophie thrashed against the men holding her. She bit the hand of the man covering her mouth.
"Let me go."
The leader of the WindWarriors approached Sophie slowly. He took her face roughly in both his hands.
"I don't think we've been properly introduced my dear. My name is Nightsabes. I am the leader of the WindWarriors."
Nightsabes dropped his hands letting them linger on Sophie's waist.
"You're very beautiful my darling, play your cards right and I might make you one of my slaves."
Sophie spit on him, which earned her a slap in the face.
"Fine have it your way. Kill her. Slowly."
The men holding Sophie tightened their grip while the rest began to beat her.
A blow to the head. A blow to the ribs. A blow to the chest. One after another; the next bringing more pain.
One of the WindWarriors pulled out a dagger and sliced deeply across her stomach, taunting her the as he did.
"Some Jedi you are."
"It's a shame such a pretty Jedi like you had to die I would've rather made you a slave."
Sophie gritted her teeth, pushing back tears. She knew that this was it, this was the end…
