And after several attacks the mother and daughter are taken from the Jedi Temple for their own protection while Obi-Wan chases down the pirate.
Chapter Forty Six,
Meagan's point of view
I watched Sasha crawl across the blanket towards her toys. We had been stationed at the safe house for about a week and a half now and so far there was no sign of trouble. But I was still afraid that something would happen to Sasha or Obi-Wan. We had heard from him again, but it was only to say that they had caught some of Caddock's associates, but the pirate still alluded capture. I could only pray that they could get him into custody before too many lives were lost.
"Meagan, are you alright?" Siri's voice broke through my thoughts.
I nodded, keeping an eye out for Sasha. "I'm fine."
The Jedi Knight smiled slightly, sitting down. It was a rather pleasant day, so we had ventured outside. Not to far away, Ferus and Anakin were sparing. "It's going to be alright."
"I know." I'd heard that so many times maybe it was finally beginning to sink in. "Sasha...no."
I reached across the blanket to grab Sasha, pulling her into my lap before she crawled to far away. She gave a cry protest, wiggling in my arms. Though she grew quite distracted as Siri lifted a toy and dangled it in front of her.
Sasha pulled herself up into a standing position, her small hands reaching out for the floating stuffed animal. Siri grinned pulling it away before Sasha could reach it. After a few minutes, Sasha fell back into my lap, cradling it close to her once Siri lowered it to her.
"She's going to be walking soon. She's standing for longer periods of time." Siri spoke several minutes later, her eyes watching Sasha play with the toy in my lap.
I rocked back and forth for a while. "Yes, she will. I just hope Obi-Wan's around when she does. He'll be so disappointed if he misses it."
Siri looked at me with sympathy. "You miss him uh?"
I had to blink back the tears. "The nights are the worst. We've spent a lot of time apart, but I've never gotten used to it."
"How are things going between you since the pirate mission?"
"Alright I guess." I sighed, frustrated. "It seemed just as soon as things started to get back to normal this happens."
Siri reached over and squeezed my shoulder in support. She was about to say something more when the boys came over.
Ferus threw himself down onto the blanket as Anakin reached down and took Sasha into his arms, tickling her. And as her cries of laughter filled the air, I couldn't help, but smile. Though I still had the strange feeling that something was going to happen.
Obi-Wan's point of view
I sighed as I stepped out of the shower after I got off duty. Things, to me at least, were moving so slowly. We had caught a few of Caddock's associates and we knew Caddock was in the immediate area, but we had yet to bring him into custody. And the Sith had been in the area at some point in time. The darkness was quite stifling, but not strong enough to announce a specific location or a current presence.
Sighing again, I laid down to get some rest. Though it was quite short lived as another vision came before me...
The room was dark and a very old man sat by himself in a corner on what looked to be some sort of throne. Moments later, a door slid open and two guards entered, escorting someone between them.
"And why am I being disturbed?" The man crackled as the darkness radiated from him.
"Your highness, we've found the spy." One of the guards spoke, indicating the prisoner that stood between them.
"Bring him forward and leave us." I tried to see past the hooded man, but couldn't make out any features as the guards followed their orders.
"Yes sir." The two guards lead a young woman forward and despite the changes in her attire and hair, I knew at once it was Sasha. "She was armed with this."
One of the guards then handed over Qui-Gon's lightsaber.
"So I finally get to meet the mysterious Jedi." The old man said after the door slid shut behind the guards.
"Your highness." She greeted him rather cooly.
The old man turned the lightsaber over in his hands. "A fully trained Jedi eh?"
Sasha didn't answer, but stood facing him.
"You're training has been incomplete or you would have sought me out long ago."
"On the contrary, I allowed myself to be caught. My sole purpose is to take back what is rightfully ours. Your reign in darkness is over." Sasha's eyes blazed with determination. "Now step down."
The old man laughed. "You're underestimating the power of the dark side. Join me and I'll let you live."
"I don't think so. Step down old man."
By this time I deduced that this was the Sith we were looking for, who looked quite furious. "Who are you? And where did you get this weapon?"
Sasha smiled. "I thought you might recognize it. After all, it killed one of your apprentices on Naboo over thirty years ago."
The Sith looked surprised. "Impossible."
This time my daughter actually laughed. "Not for me. And I'm a fully trained Jedi Knight."
"Who are you?" He managed to yell as he stood up.
"Sasha Cyrilla Kenobi." The air was even more charged. "My Father faked my death and trained me in secret. You might have managed to knock off the Jedi, but you still have yet to outwit my Father. I am alive and here to put an end to the Empire."
The two eyed each other as Sasha still stood tall and proud, ready to fight the darkness. And I couldn't have been more proud of her, but my mind was reeling from what this future could possibly be like. Do they actually take over the Republic?
Tearing my mind from the questions, I turned my attention back to the scene before me. I struggled to see what was happening as it faded from my view.
I sat up in bed gasping for breath, my mind searching fanatically for any sort of clue to if this would come true. Finding nothing and still wondering about the differences between both visions, I finally settled down enough to meditate.
Anakin's point of view
"Meagan, what's wrong?" I asked her several days after our picnic outside. She'd been acting strange lately, especially since this morning.
I watched her as she put Sasha into her crib for an afternoon nap. "I just have this horrible feeling that something's wrong."
I walked over to her and gave her a hug. "Meagan no matter what happens I won't let anything hurt you or Sasha."
"I know." Meagan held onto me for another moment before letting go. "I think I'm going to take a little nap while Sasha is."
I nodded. "Good. It will make you feel better."
Meagan sighed before climbing into the bed. I watched her for several minutes before leaving the room.
"Master Tachi?" I approached her as I entered the living room where everyone else was. I didn't sense anything amiss, but Meagan's insights were sharp.
She looked up from her reading. "What is it Anakin?"
"I think something's going to happen."
The Jedi looked at me sharply. "What do you sense?"
"I don't sense anything." I told her as the other two in the room pretended not to watch or hear our conversation. "But Meagan has a feeling that something's wrong and though she can't always place them, she usually turns out to be right."
Siri well knew this and stood up. "Let's spilt up and search the area. Maybe we will find something. And Anakin look in and around the house. One of us still should stay close by."
I nodded and proceeded to search the house and a little bit outside. Finding nothing, I made sure Meagan and Sasha were still alright and sat down in the living area to wait. It didn't take the others too long to come up empty handed.
We all started doing other things, but kept our senses alert. It must have been only an hour or so later when we all felt the disturbance in the Force. Siri immediately stood, unhooking her lightsaber. "Anakin, go wake Meagan and hide her and the baby in the back room. Stay with them and keep quiet."
I ran down the hallway as I could her hear giving the others instructions. Entering the room, I shook Meagan awake. "Grab the baby."
Her green eyes grew wide, but she jumped up from the bed without a moment of hesitation.
As she took Sasha from her crib, I pushed some furniture in a little circle, making a protective area for them to hide, right in front of the closet. I helped Meagan climb over a chair, and hide her there, covering them with cloaks. "Stay quiet."
She nodded, cradling Sasha closer, but in her hands, picked up from somewhere, was a blaster. Then Sasha, obviously not liking being woke up, began to cry. Placing a hand on her head and reaching into the Force, I managed to put her into a Force sleep.
Seeing that they were safest as I could make them, I stood in the middle of the room, lightsaber out and ready. Nothing was going to happen to them. Not while I was here.
The roar of speeders filled the air, that soon followed the sound of the front door breaking down. As the next several minutes went by I could here the sounds of a fight, things breaking, gun fire, the hum of lightsabers. The other Jedi must have been holding them off since I hadn't heard the charge of rushing feet down the hallways.
But then came a new sound. The sound of speeders shooting at the house. The floor beneath me began shaking as I could nearly see the next round of fire heading straight towards us. Twisting around, I flew back to the corner, covering Meagan and Sasha as best as I could. I ducked my head as the debris flew and the flames that started to dance on the ceiling.
"Anakin, get them out of here." I barely heard Master Tachi's voice over all the noise.
Of course without a second thought, I helped Meagan up, picking our way across the room to the window. "Hold on." I told her as I reached out with the Force, bracing our descent.
We hid in the bushes for only a moment or two before I spoke, knowing we needed to leave. Now. "When I say so, I want you to run to the ship and get her started."
"What?" She looked at me like I was crazy.
I watched as the guy sailed around again. Knowing she had mere seconds, I gave her a push. "Go."
Sensing her short amount of time, she darted into the trees, vanishing from sight.
Igniting my lightsaber, I only had another few seconds before the speeder approached. Easily blocking his shots, I took a swing at him as he came by. Satisfied I watched as he flew out of control and into a tree.
Seeing the area was cleared for the moment, I took off after Meagan. As I ran to the ship, I could hear the engines already running. Good. I wasn't going to wait around for more reinforcements. I was getting them out of here now. Damn the consequences and besides, I was following my Master's orders anyway.
After entering the ship, I started to raise the gangplank and sprinted to the cockpit. Meagan, with Sasha in her lap, was just about finished bringing the systems up. Reaching across her, I easily brought up the weaponry, well knowing we just might need it. Nearly pushing Meagan out of her seat, I disenabled all communication systems. No one, not even the Council was going to know where I was taking them too. The only way they must have found us was through the communications that we'd made to the Temple and the other Jedi.
"Anakin, where are we going?" Meagan asked as she settled into the co-pilots seat, breaking my thoughts.
"Anywhere but here. I'm getting you two out of here now." Though I realized I needed to find a safe place for them. Naboo. We could hide there, temporally at least.
"But what about the others?" She asked as I flew low, aiming toward the ship that was sitting about half a mile from the cabin.
"They're fine." I said as we could see the three, not injured, rounding up the last of the bounty hunters. Though I didn't want to take any chances. And a few easy shots sent their ship into a blaze. And not wanting to wait around for a couple of hours before they decided where to place Meagan and Sasha next, and by that time the entire galaxy would know where they were, I flew off, heading straight towards open space.
Seeing no ships of any kind on the scope, I easily plugged Naboo's coordinates into the computer and sighed in utter relief as the stars began to blur.
"We're just going to leave them?" Meagan asked, astonished at my decision.
"They'll be fine." I assured her. "Besides by the time we could figure out where to take you to, that place would be swarming with bounty hunters."
"And we just left them unprotected with no transportation." She pointed out.
I could feel my face flame a bit. "It was either that or protect you and Sasha. And I promised Obi-Wan I would keep you both safe, no matter what."
Meagan sighed, adjusting Sasha in her arms. "We should at least let the Jedi know that we are alright."
I shook my head. "Absolutely not. I don't want them tracing us if at all possible. That's how they found us in the first place."
"But you are going to get into trouble."
I smiled at this one. "No I won't. First of all, Obi-Wan told me to keep you safe and do what I thought was necessary to keep you safe and Master Tachi told me to get you two out there. I was just obeying orders. And you and Sasha's safety is more important than anything."
"I don't think that's what Siri meant Anakin." Meagan was still kinda worked up and I was touched that she thought of me before herself. "And besides I can't let you jeopardize your career."
"They won't kick me out Meagan. Obi-Wan won't allow it, not when I'm guarding you two. The Council won't chance losing Sasha's potential, especially now."
Meagan sighed again and I could tell she wasn't going to protest this anymore. "I think I'm going to go put Sasha down somewhere and take a long hot shower. I'm not sure how much more of this..."
I rose and pulled them close, Meagan's teary voice making my own tightly controlled emotions come to the surface. "That sounds like a good idea. Find me if you need anything."
She nodded and left the room. I stood there for a moment before moving on to my next task. Contacting Padme. I didn't want to do this, but I needed some place secure to hide Meagan and Sasha. And she would know where to go and wouldn't tell a soul she had heard from us. Pulling out my comlink, I proceeded to completely rewire my comlink, making it a bit safer to use. And Padme's personal line was extremely hard to trace.
"Anakin." Her sweet voice was extremely soothing to hear. "What's wrong?"
I sighed, not quite sure how to explain all of this and I wanted to keep this short as possible. "I can't explain everything to you, but we need a place to stay for a while."
She nodded. "I still have access to the palace. You and Obi-Wan are more than welcome any time."
I shook my head. "That would be nice, but this is a very delicate matter and no one but you can know we are here."
She looked quite mystified. "Anakin what are you talking about?"
"Trust me Padme." I told her as she sighed. "This is very important. Two lives are at stack here. I'm protecting them and need a quiet place to hide them until the other Jedi can handle this."
She remained quite for a moment or two, trying to make a decision. Then she finally spoke. "My family owns a cabin in the high country. It's extremely remote. I was up there last weekend, working, so it's well supplied. Though you would be completely alone."
"That's perfect for the moment." I told her. "Where is it located? I want to fly directly there. Not that I don't what to see you, but their safety depends on secrecy."
Padme leaned over, pushing some buttons on her terminal. "I'm sending you the coordinates now. Though I should tell you a few things about this place that might help if you need it."
"That would be wonderful." I told her as I downloaded the location she sent.
"First of all, there is an emergency control panel that would send an alert out to me and Panaka if something were to happen. Please use it if need be and it's located under the kitchen sink. And second there is a passage way underground from a back room that leads into the forest. You can access it by pulling on Naboo History. It's located on the top shelf."
I tucked this information away for future use. "Thank you again Padme. I hope after all this is over, we can stop by to visit."
"That would be nice." She smiled, but quickly turned serious. "Be careful Anakin. And your secret is safe with me."
I nodded and we said goodbye. Shutting down the transmission, I once again, rewired the com link. I glanced over the ship's controls and once I found that everything was functioning normal, I headed through the ship to find Meagan.
"Are you alright?" I asked as I entered her room.
She was curled up in a corner, Sasha, still in the Force sleep, laying in her arms. "Considering I could have lost my baby I'm okay."
I sat down next to her, feeling just as scared that Sasha was still in grave danger. "I know. But we'll get through this."
"But what about Obi-Wan? He's going to find out about the attack. He's going to be so worried."
"I know, but I'm sure they know that we are all in one piece considering the fact I destroyed the other ship."
Meagan nodded her agreement. "I guess you're right, but I hate to think what he'll go through when he's told there's been an attack."
"He'll be fine." I told her, but reached out with the Force towards him, sending him the message that we were safe. As tired as I was, I had no idea if he would even get the feeling of our presence. But it was about all I could manage at the time. Though out loud, all I told Meagan was. "We're safe and sound now. Let's just get some rest."
With that, both of us, still sitting on the floor, drifted off.
Obi-Wan's point of view
"We're safe Master." Anakin's voice drifted through my mind while I was still meditating. I reached back across the Force, trying to locate him, but the connection was gone.
I repeated the words in my mind, getting the awful feeling that something had happened, but yet Anakin's words didn't rely bad news.
"Obi-Wan." Garen came into the room, a grim look on his face. "The Council's on the com..."
"There's been an attack." I just knew.
Garen stared at me in shock for a moment before asking. "How did you know?"
"Anakin was trying to contact me." I told him as we walked down a hallway. "Though all he told me was that they are safe."
Our conversation was interrupted as we came into the room and I could see some of the Council members through the holo. They soon told us what happened. The Council did assure us that Siri had gotten in contact with them, that they were safe. There was another Jedi team nearby that would bring them back to the Temple. And that Anakin took off with Meagan and Sasha, not only leaving the others alone, but also turning off all communication devices and the entire tracking system.
Though relieved that no one was injured or dead, I could tell that they were very displeased over Anakin's actions. However, I was sure Anakin was doing what he thought was right.
"Do we know how they were found?" Garen asked, interrupting my train of thought.
Master Yoda and Windu glanced at each other. "We believe that our com links were traced. The bounty hunters obviously have the skills to break into heavily coded transmissions."
"Maybe." I mused. "That Anakin realized this and turned off everything in order to prevent them being tracked again and allowing them to be kept safe."
Master Windu raised his eyebrows, glancing to Master Yoda before speaking. "That may be right, but he still left three Jedi to fend for themselves. Anakin acted rashly, not thinking clearly. We will review his actions later, however, he will most likely be put on probation."
"Probation?" I was infuriated. "He was following my orders. I told him to do whatever he had to do to keep them safe."
A quiet fell over the room and through the transmission. Finally after several minutes Master Yoda spoke up. "Encouraging rebellion I fear."
I took a deep breath before speaking again. The other Jedi in the room were dead silent, not wanting to get into this conversation. "There is a Sith after my daughter..."
"Thinking with your heart you are." Master Yoda interrupted me.
I bite my lip to keep from snapping back at him. "Maybe I am, but I also can't help but think of the consequences to the entire galaxy if the Sith can raise another dark Jedi straight from infancy. It wouldn't survive it."
The Masters gazed at each other and then back to us. Master Yoda gazed directly at me and held it for quite some time before speaking again. "Seeing things have you?"
Well knowing I couldn't get past this, I nodded.
Master Yoda sighed. "Talk alone we will. Give our orders to the team, Obi-Wan will."
With that the rest of the Council and the Jedi I was with immediately left the rooms. Then over the next few minutes, I described my visions to Master Yoda, wanting his opinion about them. I desperately didn't want them to come true, especially the parts about a Sith raising my baby.
"True these may be, or completely your fears as well. Too clouded the future is, but mediate on this I will." Master Yoda finally concluded a little while later. "Safe Meagan and Sasha are. Protect them Anakin will."
I couldn't help but agree with his words and began to feel much better. I then listened as Master Yoda told me to continue to track down Caddock and bring him back into custody. And now that the hideout had been discovered, to especially watch for nearly immediate removal. And after a few more instructions, the transmission concluded.
I quickly updated the others about what Master Yoda said concerning our mission before sneaking off to find someplace quiet. I settled down to meditate, but my thoughts stayed fixed on my wife and daughter. They'd been through so much lately and the only consolation I had was that Sasha was entirely too young to remember it all. And it was all my fault. I'd always known that being a Jedi meant that I had to make personal sacrifices. But was it right for me to nearly sacrifice Meagan and Sasha's lives because of the Order?
It was quite a long time before I finally went back inside.
AN:Hey everyone! We really hope that you have enjoyed this last chapter. We're sorry that it has been a little while since the last time we have updated. The main reasons for this is that Meagan and I did have started writing a Harry Potter story. It's titled The Women Loved by Two Men and we hope that you read and enjoy that story as much as the From Earth To Star Wars stories. And just to reassure you, this story will still be continued! We'll probably update one story, then do an update for the other one and so forth. Thanks again for reading and reviewing our stories. Have a great weekend.
And now for our quotes:
