Chapter 5

-Anakin-

When I saw Jessica walk away, I walked back to the Doctor. He was looking a little lost.

''Doctor?'' I asked him.

''Master Skywalker. Sorry for this situation.'' He apologized.

''No need to be sorry. I'm just worried for your companion. She looked upset.''

''Yeah. There's a good reason for that.'' The Doctor murmured.

''I think we need to talk, Doctor.'' I was determined to find out what was going on.

''About what?'' He asked.

''About your companion. Her story. And please do not try to wiggle your way out. This is important.'' I said with a firm voice. There was still something about the girl… Something we didn't know yet. ''Follow me.'' The Doctor followed me through the halls and we ended up in front of the briefing room. ''Now we can talk.''

''I already told you everything I can tell you.'' The Doctor said to me.

''Maybe. But I need to know the whole story. She's strong in the Force, but that's not all. She seems… at home here.'' The Doctor sighed and I immediately knew that I had struck a chord.

''Okay, I'll tell you. But you have to promise that you won't say a word about this conversation to anyone, not Jessica, not Ahsoka and not the Council.'' He said and I nodded. ''Do you remember the civil war that was going on about eleven years ago on Onderon?''

''Yes, I remember it from my studies. What does that have to do with it?'' I became confused. What had Jessica's background to do with the civil war on Onderon?

''Jessica was, at that time, only a little girl. Her parents tried to protect her by bringing her to the Jedi Temple. But before they could do that, they were murdered before her eyes.''

''Wait. She's from Onderon? How did she end up with you and how do you know all of this?'' I asked. I definitely hadn't seen this coming.

''Patience, I'll tell you.'' He stared into space for a few moments, and then continued his story. ''I was also there when her parents got killed. She was all alone and I knew I had to do something. I promised her dying parents to take care of her, so I took her with me. She was so small… I couldn't let her travel with me. It was far too dangerous. So I decided to give her to good friends of mine, who had always wanted a little girl. This way she was in a good home, safe, and I could visit her as often as I wanted. I decided it was for the best that she didn't know where she came from and who I was. So I kept an eye on her from a distance. She didn't know I was there through her whole life…'' He looked very sad. ''I met her, just before we came here. She didn't know who I was of course, but I had decided that she was old enough to come and travel with me. So I took her with me in the Tardis…''

''How did you end up here?''

''Well… I asked her where she wanted to go and she wanted to go to this place. When she said that, I had th feeling that something was coming back. She has been having dreams since we arrived here, or rather, flashbacks. She has been reliving parts of her life. Before we went to the Council today, I told her everything. Well, almost everything…''

I tried to say something, but the story had made such an impact, it was hard to even say one word. ''Wow. What a story. This must be very hard for her.''

''Yes, it has changed a lot for her. It was even harder when she heard what kind of mission you got.''

''Why did the Council tell you about the mission?''

''We are coming with you.''

''So that's why Jessica was crying. She's going back to her home planet.'' I finally understood.

''She's going back to the place where her parents were killed. The Council also gave her the opportunity to stay here. She would be trained as a Padawan.''

''What? That's amazing! She can come here. She belongs here.''

''Maybe. But she has built a life on Earth. Her family, friends, everything is there. She is very torn. Also, if she decides to stay here, I can't visit her as often and I would have to do it in secret.''

''I think I understand.'' I nodded. ''But you just said that you told her almost everything. What didn't you tell her?''

''I'm almost surprised you haven't noticed. Don't you think that Jessica is a bit of an uncommon name in your galaxy?'' The Doctor asked me.

''Now you mention it… Does that mean that that isn't her real name?''

''Well, it is her real name. Her parents on Earth gave it to her. But that was indeed not her original name. Not the name that her real parents gave to her.''

''What is her real name?'' I asked curiously.

''Her name is Nanori Tilimare.''

''Why didn't you tell her?'' I asked her. He looked so sad. I knew he was in pain because what had happened to Jessica. And I knew he was feeling hurt because of the way Jessica reacted. I couldn't blame her for reacting that way. I would've reacted much worse, but the Doctor was only trying to help her. He sighed. ''She was already so conflicted; another name would only have made it more complicated.''

''You need to tell her.''

''I know. I was going to talk to her about everything. But I think she's too upset at the moment to even see me, let alone talk to me.''

''Maybe you should wait till tomorrow.'' I advised him.

''Master Yoda is going to meditate with her tomorrow.''

''Really? Did she ask for that?'' I asked surprised. The Doctor smiled a little because of my response. ''It's just that I have never understood the will to meditate.'' I explained my reaction.

''Master Yoda was quite insistent, actually.'' He said with a small grin.

I smirked. ''Hmm... yeah, he tends to be like that sometimes.''

''But please, Anakin, don't tell her I told you this.''

''Can't I even tell Ahsoka? She and Jessica are great friends already.''

''No. You can't tell anybody. Not Ahsoka, not Obi-Wan and certainly not Padmé.'' He said the last name with a smirk. What! How did he know her? ''Use her 'Earth name' for now, until I tell her that she has another name.'' He said.

''Deal.'' The Doctor walked away, but I called after him. ''Doctor! I just wanted to say: if she stays here… I will look after her for you.''

''Thank you, Anakin.'' He said with a trusting smile then he walked away, lost in thought.

Was it a good idea to tell him everything? Yes. I can trust him and soon the whole Jedi Council will know anyway. Jessica is going to meditate with Yoda, so I suspect that Yoda will find some answers. I hope he can help her. She needs help. I want to help her too, but she won't accept that at the moment.

-Jessica-

The next day I walked into the Chambers of Master Yoda with a bit of reluctance. I knew that he would be able to sense everything that was going through my mind. And, honestly, I was a bit afraid of that. It was very likely that he would find out where I originally came from and what my feelings about that were. This would probably be a very intense hour. I walked in and he was already sitting on a meditation chair.

''Good morning to you, Jessica.'' He said with a smile, but he didn't open his eyes.

''Good morning, Master Yoda.'' I greeted politely.

''Feel your unease, I do. Nervous, are you?'' He said with something that looked like a smirk. I couldn't really tell though, because his eyes were still closed.

I sighed, ''You are right, Master. I'm a bit afraid of the things that are going to happen this hour.''

''Afraid you are of old memories, yes?''

''Yes, Master.'' I said in resignation. I decided to not fight back anymore, there was simply no use.

''No need to fear there is. Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate.''

''Hate leads to suffering…'' I finished the line and the moment I said it, I wished I hadn't. I had heard him say that so many times that it was normal for me to finish the line, but from his point of view I couldn't know. He has never said that while I was actually here.

''Hmm. Too right you are. Yet, there is fear in you till.''

''Yes, Master. I know it's not good, but I can't ignore it. I'm not a Jedi.''

''Only memories they are. No need to fear them, there is.''

''I know, Master… but they seem so real…''

''That's because real they are. Already happened they have. Only knowledge they will bring.'' He opened his eyes and he looked deeply into mine. I was a bit taken aback by what I saw in his eyes. It was like he could look right through me. Like he knew everything about me.

''If you say so…''

''Have a seat young Jessica.'' He gestured to the meditation chair next to his. I sat down, immediately crossing my legs, like Yoda.

''Close your eyes. Clear your mind. Concentrate. And see your visions clearly, you will.'' We both closed our eyes. I tried to concentrate on the flashbacks I had had. At first it was a blur of colours and I only heard vague noises. After a few minutes it became clearer and I could distinguish voices.

Two adults and a young girl were sitting around a table, they were having dinner. They were all smiling, they looked so happy. I focused a little bit more on the little girl. Then I realized I was looking at a younger version of myself. I was that little girl. It was me sitting there with my parents. Everything was so peaceful. Suddenly I saw my parents stand up. The chairs fell and I heard screaming. It was not coming from me or my parents, so it had to be from outside the house. What was happening? My mother picked me up in her arms and we went outside. I looked around and what I saw wasn't good at all. There was a droid battalion, or rather a whole army, marching right to our village. People were running all around, everyone was panicking. My parents also started running and I bounced up and down in my mother's arms. The droids were now very close and they started shooting at everything and everyone. People were dying right in front of my eyes… Suddenly I fell out of my mother's arms, onto the ground. I screamed. I looked around and saw my mum lying on the ground. There was a smoking hole in her back… I scrambled up and ran to my mother, she was lying just behind me. She lifted her head. There were tears in her eyes. ''I love you sweetheart. You will be okay.'', and that was the last thing she said to me before her head slumped down on the ground. She died in front of my eyes . I began to cry, not aware of my surroundings anymore. Where was my dad? I looked around and then I saw the Doctor sitting next to my father. My father was lying on the ground and he was bleeding heavily, but I saw his mouth move and the Doctor nodded. He was still alive! I wanted to scramble towards them, but I didn't have enough power. I kept my eyes locked on the Doctor and my father. The Doctor stood up. Why didn't my father stand up? He couldn't be dead too, could he? No, I couldn't lose my father too! There was still a battle going on around me, but I didn't notice it. All I felt was emptiness. Then I felt a hand on my shoulders and I looked up. I looked directly into the face of the Doctor. ''Come little one. I will take care of you.'' He picked me up and carried me away.

I opened my eyes. Tears were dripping down my face. Yoda still had his eyes closed. How could he not be disturbed by all of this?

''Bad memories you've seen, yes? Terrible it is what happened to you and your parents.'' He frowned and then he continued, ''Involved you were, in the massacre of Onderon. Your home planet, Onderon is.''

''Yes…'' So there it was, now they knew my secret. The secret I had just found out about myself. They now knew that I was from here, from Onderon.

''That is why afraid you are of the mission. Makes you recall bad memories, yes?'' I closed my eyes and nodded, tears started dripping down my face again.

''Good for you it will be. To go back.'' Yoda said and I was shocked.

''Good?! How could it be good? I'm going back to the place where my parents died! Where my parents were murdered in cold blood!'' I cried out.

''Overcome this you will. Going back to your planet, help you, it will.'' He sounded so sure. Should I believe him? How could I? I would only recall these terrible events. That couldn't be good, could it?

''Believe me, you do not.'' He said with what I thought was a little smile.

''Ehmm…'' How would I put this? I couldn't sound rude or anything, but the truth was that he was right. I didn't believe him. ''No… I don't… Not exactly.''

''First, believe you must. Then, clear it will become.'' Yoda said. Well, easier said than done. Like most pieces of advice he had given me.

''How could I possible deal with these things?'' I asked him desperately. I still couldn't believe what I had just seen. The Doctor already had told me what had happened, but to see it… It's a lot harder. Now that I had seen it, I just didn't know what to do.

''No emotion there is, only peace.''

''Right…'' Just what I needed: another part of the Jedi Code. I could have screamed at him at this point. He wasn't exactly helping with all his riddles. The Jedi Code had always been weird from my point of view, how could anyone follow it completely? Anakin was the perfect example of the fact that it's incredibly hard and maybe even impossible to follow the Jedi Code. My thoughts were drifting off, but Master Yoda snapped me out of it.

''Meditate further on this you must. Face your fears you must.'' Deep down I knew that he was right and I decided to just do what he asked. I closed my eyes once again and tried to clear my mind. This time I heard noises I couldn't really define. It didn't look at all like one of the flashbacks I had had. This was something different. I saw all kinds of different colours, flashing.

I saw a blurry form of a girl just a little older than me. She looked very similar to me. She was holding two lightsabers in her hands. One purple, one blue. She was blocking blasterbolts. Next to her was a man doing the same. It was Obi-Wan. The form of the girl now became clearer. I could see her face. It was me. What kind of madness is this? Was this my future? Why was I fighting alongside Obi-Wan? Will this happen if I stay here? Will I become Obi-Wan's Padawan? My thoughts began to overflow with questions. I looked a little bit closer and I realized that I actually looked pretty awesome, with the lightsabers and all. I started looking at the surroundings, maybe I could recognize the environment. It kinda seemed like… No that couldn't be it… Still, it looked very much like it. It had to be the place. I was in the Citadel…

I opened my eyes again. Seriously, that was enough information. I had already seen how my parents had died, now I had seen what would happen if I stayed here. It was almost too much to take in. If Master Yoda hadn't been there I probably would have freaked out.

''The future you see, hmm?'' Yoda murmured.

''Yes, but what do I do with this information? Is this a possible future? Does this predict what choice I'm going to make?'' Would I choose to stay here and become Obi-Wan's Padawan? It did sound pretty awesome, but how would I be able to leave my family behind? And then there was the Doctor… Would I still be able to see him? I had only just met him, but he already was very important to me. Weird, how people could grow on you in such a short amount of time.

''Difficult to see. Always in motion the future is. Many possibilities there are. Clouded with the dark side it is.'' Well, thanks for nothing, again…

''But… But what do I choose?''

''Your choice it is. No wrong choice, there is.''

''Thank you, I think…''

''Now, go you must, young one. Something important to tell you, the Doctor has.'' I nodded to him and I bowed. What would the Doctor want to tell me? I wondered, while I walked out of Yoda's chambers. Yoda said it was something important, but the Doctor had already told me everything about my past. Or did he?

-Anakin-

I saw her sitting at the stairs, just outside the Temple. I was actually planning to go Padmé, but when I saw her, sitting there alone, I decided to keep her company for a bit and have a talk with her.

''Hey.'' I greeted her and I saw I had startled her. Apparently she had been lost in thought.

''Oh. Hey.'' She gave a small smile, almost a sad smile. What was going through her head? What was she thinking of?

''Want company?'' I asked her. Maybe she just wanted to be alone.

''Yeah, sure.'' She responded. It sounded like she couldn't care less whether I joined her or not. She just sat there and stared.

''What are you doing here?'' I asked her. Maybe I could start a conversation with her.

''Just wanted to be outside.'' She murmured. Okay, if she kept giving such answers, I would go away. There was no use trying to talk to her if she actually didn't want me to.

''What are you thinking about, Jessica? Your body is here, but your mind is elsewhere.''

You have no idea…

''I was just thinking about the future.'' She said like it was no big deal.

''What about the future?''

''I have been meditating with Master Yoda. And…'' She paused.

''And…?'' Had she had visions of the future while meditating with Yoda?

''I had visions. About the future.'' Suspicions confirmed, I thought, then I gestured her to continue. ''First I had a vision about my past. I saw my parents get murdered.'' A tear slipped down her cheek. In an act to try to comfort her, I put an arm around her. She looked up for a second and gave me a small smile. ''Then Master Yoda told me to concentrate again. It was another vision. But different… I saw the future.''

''That must have been difficult.''

''Yes. It was.'' She stopped for a second and then her eyes began to twinkle. ''But it was also kind of cool.'' She said with a smirk. Now I was surprised. Her mood had just changed in a split second.

''What was cool about it?''

''I saw myself as a Padawan. As the Padawan of Obi-Wan.'' Now she quickly glanced up at me to see what my reaction was. I was shocked. If she would stay she would become Obi-Wan's Padawan. I didn't know how I felt about that or how I should feel. On the one hand it was absolutely cool, she and Ahsoka would have more time together. And it would also mean that Jessica would become a Jedi one day. But on the other hand I was kind of jealous. I didn't know why, but I was. She saw I was struggling to process this, so she gave me a reassuring smile.

''I won't steal your Master, Anakin.'' I smiled and nodded that she could continue. ''The other thing that was really cool was the fact that I was fighting with two lightsabers in my vision. One was blue and the other one was purple.'' I just gaped at her. Master Windu was the only one with a purple lightsaber. Why would Jessica have one? Why her? And why would she have two lightsabers? I knew she also didn't know the answers to these questions, so I let it slide. I would probably find out later. Well, that would depend on her choice.

''Wow.''

''Yeah, I know.'' She began to laugh. Just laugh. Why would she be laughing? Wasn't this something that should freak her out or something? She had never had a vision and she was laughing about it!

''Is there something funny?'' I asked her.

''Yes, actually there is.'' She said through the laughing.

''What is so funny?''

''Your face.'' She pointed at me and began to laugh again.

''Great… Now it is my face that's funny.'' I muttered. She only laughed harder then. It was actually pretty good to hear her laughing. She had had some pretty rough days and now she was beginning to process things. It was a bit unfortunate that my face was the reason she was laughing.

'''So where were you going Anakin?'' She asked me, turning serious again.

''How do you mean where was I going? I was just checking up on you.'' I said, trying to look as innocent as possible.

''No, you were not. You wouldn't do that.''

''Why does everyone think so badly of me?''

''That's because everyone loves you.'' She said with a big grin. I knew she didn't mean a word she said. She was just joking around.

''Now you're just making stuff up.''

''Yes. I am.'' I looked angrily at her, but she only started to laugh again. She was just hopeless.

''You were going to visit Padmé, weren't you?'' She suddenly asked.

''What?! How did you…'' I stopped mid-sentence. ''Never mind. How do you know Padmé?'' I asked curiously. How could she know her? And more important, how could she know that I was going to see her?

''I don't know her. Well, not exactly.''

''Okay…. Strange…'' What did she mean? She acted very strange sometimes. Like she knew things. Things she really couldn't know.

''Go to your girlfriend, Anakin. I won't tell anybody. Your secret is safe with me.'' She said with a wink, then she added more serious, ''I would go immediately if I were you. I don't think Padmé would appreciate it if you stayed here any longer.'' I quickly looked at the time.

''Kriff...'' I said, seeing the time. I was already an hour late. She would never forgive me. This had already happened too many times.

''Anakin. Watch your language.'' She chastised me.

''Sorry.'' But I didn't really mean it.

''You should really go, though.''

''Yes. Yes, of course. See you later Jessica!'' I waved and then I ran to one of the speeders. I heard her yelling bye, but I didn't care. I had to go to Padmé. Knowing her, she would already be pissed off by now.
