What Now?

Amber rubbed her pounding head. The Knights managed to lock her in a closet right after giving her a massive headache and knocking her out. She glanced to her right where Nathan sat, just now waking up.

"Are you okay?" she asked the Jedi.

Nathan nodded and then rubbed his eyes. "Are we… in a closet?"

"Yes, we are. Sethtis, Alarick, and his Knights are responsible for this predicament."

"Let's get out of here." Nathan suggested.

"The door is locked from the outside. Do you have your lightsaber? Mine is in my room."

Nathan reached for his lightsaber that wasn't there. "Where is my…" he started and then scowled. "I dropped it when Sethtis slammed me against the wall. Didn't they have Seraphina with them?"

Amber nodded. "It looked like Sethtis was forcing her to go with them. I'm pretty sure she didn't want to, though."

"How long have we been in here?"

"I don't know."

"How did they escape?"

"That… is an excellent question. Sadly, I don't know how they broke out. Shelly, Poe, Finn, and a couple others were on guard duty."

"Something isn't right." Nathan mused.

"No! Really?" Amber asked sarcastically. "We're trapped in a closet and our captives have escaped. And might have Jedi-napped my cousin."

"I meant about the- oh, never mind." Nathan sighed.

"So… what do we do now?"

"Have you tried to use the Force to open the door?"

"Uh…"

"Allow me." Nathan stood up and held up his hand to the door. His eyebrows knit together in concentration. After several seconds, the door slid open and Amber fell backwards from leaning on it.

Nathan helped her up. "You probably should've moved."

Amber rolled her eyes and dusted herself off. Nathan walked over to the wall beside the door and scooped up his lightsaber. Josh ran over to them, gasping.

"Where… are… they?" he asked, gasping between his words.

Amber automatically knew who he meant. "They were heading to the hanger with Seraphina and-"

"We need to get to the hanger." Nathan said urgently.

Amber and Josh nodded and they hurried down the halls towards the hanger, ignoring the unconscious bodies that lay in their path. Nathan led the way while Amber and Josh followed.

"Have you tried and used your bond with her?" Amber asked.

Josh nodded, worry evident in his jade green eyes. "She's not answering."

"Do you think she's-" Amber started.

Josh shook his head. "She's alive. Our bond is humming but she's not responding."

They reached the hanger, only to find several pilots waking up from being knocked out and a ship missing. Josh ran to where someone was unconscious near the wall and Amber recognized the female figure as Seraphina. She joined Josh near her cousin.

Josh cradled Seraphina's body close to him. "She's unconscious. I'm hoping she'll be up soon."

"She spends a lot of time unconscious." Amber said.

Josh chuckled. "It must be a Skywalker thing."

"Must be," Amber agreed.

Seraphina stirred and Amber, Nathan, and Josh focused their attention on the girl. Nathan knelt beside Amber and placed a hand on her shoulder. "She'll be okay, Amber."

Amber nodded.

Seraphina opened her eyes to be met by a pair of jade green orbs and she smiled when she recognized that it was Josh. "Did Sethtis-"

"He got away with Alarick and the other Knights." Josh looked down. "Anya was taken, too."

Seraphina's eyes grew sad. "What do we do now?"

Josh helped her stand up. "I don't know." He answered honestly. "We've been through worse. We'll just take each day as it comes."

Seraphina nodded and kissed Josh. "As long as I have you with me, it'll be all right."

Amber groaned. "Can you two not do that right now?"

Josh grinned. "Why not Amber," he asked. "By the way, did you tell Seraphina about your relationship?"

Amber's face turned red. "Well… um… I didn't… uh"

Seraphina's eyebrows knit together. "Relationship? With who?"

Amber didn't answer but instead looked down, her face a dark shade of red. Nathan smiled and kissed her cheek before walking away, making her blush turn darker.

"Nathan Mahir?" Seraphina asked in disbelief. "When did this happen?"

"While you were gone," Amber replied.

"So much for the 'no relationship rule', huh?" Seraphina asked with a grin.

Josh laughed. "Can we get rid of that rule permanently?"

Seraphina rolled her eyes upward in thought before she smiled. "I agree with Josh." She kissed his cheek before walking away, looking for her mother and grandfather.

"Where is she?!" the Togruta yelled, arms held firmly by two Knights.

Sethtis stood in front of her. "Zillah has left the First Order and the Dark Knights. You will be reassigned to a new master. Agni, you will have the pleasure of teaching Miss Tano. And Anya,"

The Togruta locked her blue eyes with Sethtis' green orbs. She looked angry as she stared at Sethtis.

"You will now respond to the name, Lilith. And you will remain loyal to the First Order."

Anya, now dubbed Lilith, looked down and sighed. "All right; what do I need to do first?"

Sethtis grinned wickedly. "Destroy Anya Kerz-Tak."

Author's Note

Sorry for the short chapter. This is the end of The Gray Jedi. But don't worry, I'm making another book that takes place after all of this. Sound good?

The reference in this story is when Amber said, "That... is an excellent question." This is from the movie Meet the Robinsons.

And... my sister and I are making a new story together for the Avengers. So it will have Steve, Bucky, Thor, Loki, Tony (unfortunately), and all the others. Including Tic-Tac (Ant-Man) and Web-Head (Spider-Man). That should be posted soon. And please read the next Star Wars fanfiction that will be up soon. :)

Thank you, for reading and please leave a comment. :D
