Ug, I am not feeling up to snuff.

But I did learn that I am deficient in both vitamin D and iron. So I will need to take them to get my levels back up where they should be. I do have numbers of what I need to take and my doctor is going to see if she can get a prescription so I get the amounts I need to be back on the road to health again.

Anakin sat up in his bed. Someone was in the room with him.

"Hello?" he called out in the dark room.

"Hello little one," a gentle female voice said.

Anakin gasped and turned in the direction of the computer terminal; in the chair sat a beautiful woman.

His mother was still the most beautiful woman he knew but this woman was a close second.

"Who are you?" Anakin asked as he swung his feet off his bed.

The woman smiled.

"I have many names; if I told you just a few of them your head would hurt." She informed him gently.

"Can you tell just one of them?" Anakin asked.

The woman gave a soft laugh.

"Always the persistent one, are we." The woman said with amusement.

"You may call me Ashla." She told him.

"Ashla is a pretty name." Anakin informed her.

After a brief pause Anakin decided to ask the question that was on his mind.

"How did you get in here?" he asked; completely puzzled.

"I let myself in." Ashla informed him with a warm smile.

"I locked the door though." Anakin protested. "Only my mother and I know the passkey."

"I don't need passkeys to get where I need or want to go." Ashla explained.

"Why are you here?" Anakin decided to ask. He knew that she wouldn't be here if she didn't want something.

"I am here to help you." Ashla said as she stood and walked with more grace than he had ever seen before to his side.

"I know that you are seeing images of people and having feelings that you know aren't yours." Ashla told him as she sat down.

"I am going to try and help you overcome them since they are so strong. Stronger than they probably should be." She said as she raised her hands to gently touch either side of his face.

Anakin heard start to whisper in a language that he had never heard before but he knew what she was saying.

"I block the memories that haunt this child. He is not the one that the memories belong to. They belong to someone that would rather these memories stay private. I will not lose another of my blood to Darkness."

Anakin felt the memories fade until all he remembered was the fears of fire, certain Medical Droids. Deep loyalty, devotion and trust that many would want but only a few would receive; destruction would visit on anyone that dared betray him afterwards. The other things that stayed with him were the faces of the beaten woman and the woman that had curly brown hair and laughing eyes.

A few other things were still there but they floated just out of his reach.

A wave of exhaustion overtook him and he found himself crawling underneath the covers of the bed.

"Sleep well little Anakin." Was the last thing he heard before sleep claimed him.

Welks Rist watched and waited for the right opportunity to present itself.

Soon he watched as his former princess exited the medical area and headed for her quarters.

He waited for a while before following her.

Welks could tell that she was tired by the waay she was walking. He guessed that the moment she entered her qurters that she would immediately had for bed and sleep.

This would be the perfect time to kill her and her son.

Welks watched as Leia entered her quarters and slowly counted backwards from three hundred. After he got to zero he carefully tested the door. It was locked but with some careful slicing the door almost silently slid open.

He glanced around before he headed for the sleeping female form.

Welks debated for a minute what weapons to use. A blaster would be nigh on untraceable since so many of them used either similar blasters, like the one he had with him, or they used the same type of energy packs.

Vibroblades could eventually be traced and he would have to dispose of the clothing he was wearing.

But he hadn't been trained in the ways of an assassin for nothing.

He would have to make a decision soon since he had programed the security cams to go on the fritz for some time.

Finally Welks made his choice.

He reached for his vibroblade and prepared himself to end the life of the woman that had gotten his brother killed.

As he was about the plunge the blade into her chest an invisible force threw him into the wall.

The lights in the room suddenly came alive and his target sat up in bed.

Welks blinked a few times and he soon felt the blaster being ripped from his holster.

"Anakin go get Security." He heard Leia say.

Welks decided that he would rather die then be questioned. He threw himself at Leia, saw a flash of blue and then nothing.

The whole Rebel Fleet was uptight when they learned that one of their own had tried to kill one of their leaders over a personal vendetta.

It boggled their minds that Welks Rist couldn't put the past behind him.

There had been nothing to suggest that the late Bail Organa had hired anyone to kill the young men that had been responsible for the rape of the girl that he had raised for fifteen years.

It was as if someone had decided to do something since it seemed that those boys would have walked away unpunished.

The galaxy was a better place without some beings that had no problems with violating anyone.

Scavenger Hunt has about 300+ words in it as of now. You might get lucky and Scavenger Hunt will be updated today or early tomorrow.
