Hey Guys I'm finally back with a new chapter :) I know its been ages since I have updated and I am very sorry for disappointing you all ;( but hopefully I can redeem myself with this chapter, Well Enjoy!
Hannah looked around her surroundings as the republican speeder was traveling throughout the underworld. She was sitting next to her master feeling his strong presence in the force, Hannah looked over towards him as her bright green eyes that were shined by the reflection of the lights as they sped by them. Some of the lights they had past shimmered in an odd fashion either by being faulty or needing to be changed.
Hannah sighed as she thought this would be an exciting mission but instead it felt bland, her mind started to drift back to the day she had first met her master and became his Padawan. She had met him in one of the many hanger bays that were located in the Jedi temple, she had been heading to the ship that would of sent her to the Agri-corps if it wasn't for Anakin she would be there dusting crops.
Flashback
Hannah was on the way to the hanger bay to be shipped off to the Agri-corps, as she continued her way down the hall after saying her farewells to her friends she had started walking down the hall which led to the hanger bay. She thought to herself that she had failed to find a master in time, she was a failure in all the Jedi's eyes.
Hannah had finally made it to the hanger bay but as she was so deep in her thoughts, reality had lost its grasp she hadn't realized that she was broadcasting her thoughts which in the force was quite loud.
Once Hannah realized that she was in the hanger bay she had looked around only seeing a few Jedi starfighters and some deck personnel. Being easily distracted at that point of time she was thrown out of her thoughts when she heard a grunt following with a moan which had brought her back.
Hannah had looked down to see who she had knocked over to see a young Jedi knight who in fact was well known in the Jedi order and one of the youngest Knights to ever be knighted at an early age. It was no one other then the one and only The "Hero With No Fear " Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, she blushed in embarrassment and mentally scolded herself that she had knocked down the chosen one.
I had just had failed again, as my green eyes looked down at the Jedi Knight which my eyes didn't hide my Full regret, nervousness, guilt and Anger. I was angry at myself for failing again, zoning out and once again I was broadcasting my emotions.
"I am so sorry Master Skywalker" I held out my hand to offer him help to get up but he waved it away.
"Its fine youngling, just be more careful and be aware of all of your surroundings" his voice was light and compassionate.
Master Skywalker had gotten himself up with ease and extended his mechanical hand to introduce himself. As my worry was still growing and also my embarrassment didn't help I gently shook his hand.
" What is your name youngling? I didn't know younglings were meant to be hanging around the hanger bay or are you a Padawan? "His voice seemed to halt for a moment as he said Padawan.
I bowed as I looked to him " My name is Hannah Duril master Skywalker and I am neither a youngling or a Padawan" My eyes were threatening to start watering but I kept my composure.
Hannah noticed that Anakin's eyebrows had shifted a little bit as though he was concentrating , that is when she felt a strong force presence prodding on her mind, she hadn't felt anything so strong in her life but she felt a nice warm surge of strong energy swirl in her mind which relaxed her thoughts.
" You seem to feel guilty and angry at yourself Hannah, release those negative feelings into the force" his voice was soft.
I slowly did as I was instructed, as I released all of my negative feelings into the force I felt somewhat better but yet still I felt like I was a failure but I knew where ever I was going to end up going the force will always be there for me , it had set up my path and I must follow it.
"May I ask why you say your a failure? Also the way you had said you are neither Padawan or a Youngling? Didn't you pass your trials?"
"Yes Master Skywalker I did indeed pass my trials with very high scores with both being connected with the force and also with my lightsaber skills.. I was the top of my clan. But.. but I was not chosen by a Master in time and most of the Jedi Knights have Padawan's or are not ready." I sighed as I knew this was a waste of time although I had to show respect to my fellow Jedi.
"So your being sent to the Agri-corps?" It seems Anakin's eyes showed some disbelief.
I also noticed that Anakin was in some kind of deep thought, I then felt his force presence brush up against my mind again and that is when I felt the connection of a bond being created , it felt odd at first but then warm.
"It seems that the force has different plans for the both of us"
I stood there confused, looking up to him " I'm sorry but I do not understand what you are implying Master Skywalker"
I heard Anakin chuckle " I mean young one, I feel a connection, more like a force bond that has entwined us together, the force is pushing me towards you, telling me that I should take you as my Padawan"
I was shocked and didn't believe it at first but I sensed something strange again but yet I didn't question the strange feelings. As I looked to Anakin my emerald eyes which were full of joy looked into his azure eyes. I could not let this opportunity slip, but it seemed my doubt appeared again.
"Why would you want me as a Padawan? I am a complete failure!" I didn't mean to shout but my emotions were overwhelming
Anakin softly smiled at me "Hannah you are not a failure, it is not your fault that any Jedi Knight that had shown up to take a Padawan and took another and not you, please do not blame yourself . The Jedi numbers have depleted, there are not as many available Jedi as there used to be"
Anakin's voice seemed to soothe me, I once again felt him brush up against my mind again but this time sending soothing force waves.
"Do not blame yourself , you could of not stopped any of these events from happening" Anakin gave a sad sigh as it seemed he had been in a similar situation before like I am in now, like he blamed himself as well for something.
"It seems you have been in a similar position like this yourself?" I knew it was stupid to ask but I had to know.
" Yes I have and trust me blaming yourself isn't good for you, I had blamed myself for something that occurred awhile ago that I couldn't stop from happening and let's just say blaming yourself is a bad idea, it took both Master Kenobi and Master Yoda to convince me it wasn't my fault and I could of not stopped the situation from happening"
" I now understand, thank you and do you really want to take me as your Padawan?" I asked nervously, but already knowing the answer
" Of course, I indeed do Hannah " With those final words we walked to the council chambers
Flashback ends
I was pulled out of my memories when the speeder had halted to a stop outside an old warehouse in district 1273
"Master is this the place?" I saw his facial expression change neutral as I couldn't read him now
"It is young one, but it seems awfully familiar as well, won't you agree Master Skywalker?" Master Plo's mask also hid his expression but yet in the force I sensed worry radiate off him
" It is.. it is the warehouse where the nano-droids were found " Anakin seemed to be a bit off as though he was hiding something
Anakin's POV
As the ride to the address we had received from the Twilek went smoothly, nothing had gone wrong yet until my eyes laid on the old and familiar old ammunition's warehouse, In the industrial sector which had brought back old, unwanted memories back to the surface bubbling with intent. Everything had started here, where the bombs were planned when the nano-droid explosive had gone off in the Jedi temple was all organized here.
As I was thinking about the past, dwelling on it a little I hadn't heard my Padawan's question until I heard master Plo's rough voice answer
" It is the place young one but it seems awfully familiar swell, don't you agree master Skywalker?"
As I turned my head to look at the Kel-Doran Master, I couldn't read his facial features as they were hidden behind his mask, But I knew he was thinking the same thing. I felt the confusion from Hannah run through the bond as she also seemed curious, I felt my hair sweep across my eyes as I brush it back to place cursing to myself why I let it grow out like the way it was. I then turned to Hannah softly smiling well trying to.
" It is the warehouse-" I had to pause for a brief moment as this was the place where Ahsoka had been framed and defeated " where the Nano-droids had been found" I hadn't told her the full story not wanting Hannah to know yet, even though she would have heard about Ahsoka but not many Jedi know what really happened. Of course he knew Hannah knew he had a Padawan before her and she would of known it was Ahsoka Tano but all what any other Jedi knows is that she just left becoming the twenty-first Padawan to ever leave the Jedi Order.
As we hopped out of the speeder to look around I felt a familiar presence but yet it seemed distant , as I tried to lock onto the presence it disappeared.
Well I know it was properly a boring chapter but I thought it would be good to get an insight on how Hannah And Anakin had met and Who was the force presence Anakin felt? Was it either Ventress or Ahsoka? Well wait and find out :)
Thank you for reading this chapter and please review. Constructive criticism is welcomed but like how many Authors have been saying please no flames! :) they burn
