	****************** Qui-Gon sat in his room. It had been a long day. First Obi-Wan appearing with the Sith, then the challenge of getting him to the healers, who said he’d be fine in a few days, then arranging for a number of guards to be placed outside the Sith’s room. He’d had to give Sharrach a reason for it and had made up a story that explained if the girl had saved Obi-Wan someone might want her dead. So now every time she left the room she would be escorted by two guards, who would contact him if anything was amiss. Not that the girl couldn’t easily take care of two guards, but it was the best he could come up with at the moment. He heard a knock at the door and went to open it. The Sith was standing in the doorway. Qui-Gon looked around but found no guards. “Where is your escort?” he asked sharply. He saw her almost cringe at his tone. Looking down at her he saw her eyes, so full of misery and sadness. They almost made Qui-Gon want to trust the girl, but he wouldn’t be that careless. “Well, are you going to answer me or just stand there?” “It’s not safe for them to be around me.” she said quietly. “It’s not safe for anyone to be around someone like you. Or have you forgotten about Obi-Wan already?” “No I don’t mean like that, I meant that now my Master knows I’m gone he kill me and everyone around me.” “Aww, my hearts breaking for you.” Qui-Gon said in a mock sympathetic voice. “What did Obi-Wan say your name was?” “Raya.” “Well Raya, what do you want?” “Do you know where Obi-Wan is?” she asked quietly. “Why, want to wound him again?” “Why is it hard for you to trust your apprentice?” “I do trust my apprentice. I’d trust him with my life.” “Then why don’t you believe him when he says I not evil anymore?” “Because I trust Obi-Wan, not you, and it is very clear to me that you have deceived him.” Qui-Gon answered. “Where is Obi-Wan?” “If you must know he’s in the ‘fresher and I doubt he wants to be disturbed.” “That’s all I wanted to know. Could you give him this for me?” she asked holding out his braid. Qui-Gon snatched it from her. “Do you honestly think that returning this will make everything better?” “No.” she said quietly. “There is nothing I can ever hope to do to make up for all that I have done. I could save the lives of a million people for everyone that I have killed and it wouldn’t matter, because I still hurt that one person. I’ve still taken a life that I cannot bring back. I can make all the excuses I want for it, it won’t change what I have done and I will never completely change. No matter how far into the light I travel, there will always be a shadow, a little speck of darkness in me and I except that. I always thought I didn’t have a conscience, that nothing could touch me, but I do. I just kept it hidden, buried within me along with all the guilt and sadness of seeing peoples lives destroyed.” “You make it sound like you’re a saint.” “Far from it, I’m still mostly evil, but I’m trying to change.” “Leave.” “As you wish.” she said and walked out into the hall in the direction of her room. She’s trying to do the same to me as she did to Obi-Wan, he thought, but I won’t be so careless. ************ What da ya think? -----signature----- Everybody needs a little chaos.

	Sorry I should have posted sooner. ********************** Raya slowly opened her eyes. It took her a minute to remember where she was. She was in a room in the palace. Sunlight streamed through the window. Then she realized she wasn’t alone. “Morning sunshine!” Obi-Wan said cheerily from the side of her bed where he was standing. “Obi-Wan, what are you doing in here?” she asked. “Watching you sleep.” She groaned and pulled the covers up over her head. “What time is it?” “Nine-thirty and time to get up.” he said pulling the covers off her. “You went to sleep without changing your clothes?” “Yes.” Raya said finally sitting up. “Why were you watching me sleep?” “Because Qui-Gon told me to watch you today while he deals with Sharrach.” “What wrong with Sharrach?” “He still thinks there’s a mysterious vandal loose. Anyway notice anything different about me?” She studied him for a moment. “Your braid is longer.” “Yep, Qui-Gon weaved it back into my hair last night. Funny though, I thought you had it.” “He didn’t tell you where he got it?” she asked. “Nope. Although I’m guessing you gave it to him to prove you had me.” “Sure.” she said. Let him think that. “You know, I’d prefer if you didn’t watch me sleep, but now that I’m up what do you want to do?” “Well, what do you usually do when you have free time?” “Train or meditate.” “That’s it?” he asked. “Yep. I’m a career girl.” “Don’t you do anything fun?” “Like what?” “Like going swimming or hiking or going to the movies or something.” “No.” she replied. “When I’m not sleeping or on a mission I’m training.” “You have no life.” he said flatly. “My life is doing what my Master tells me.” she said slightly irritated. “Are we talking about the same son of a bantha that beat you up just a little while ago?” Raya pulled her hand back and slapped him. “Don’t talk about my Master like that.” Obi-Wan just stared at her surprised. “I’m sorry Obi-Wan,” she said after a moment, “what you say is true. I guess I still think of him as my Master even though I’ve left the Sith order.” “... It’s alright Raya. I’d do the sane to anyone who said that about my Master. Come on let’s go out to the gardens.” They both got up and walked out. -------------------------------- A smile appeared on Lord Sidious’ lips as he watched his apprentice hit the Jedi. He saw everything in the palace thanks to Raya’s probe droids. At first when he saw his apprentice had left with the Jedi he’d been furious, but now he saw it as a good experience for Raya. She still follows the dark path, he thought to himself, the slapping incident proved that. Sooner or later she was going to slip big time and either the Jedi would kill her or she would come crawling back to the Sith. If she came back he would accept her back as his apprentice only now she would have a reason to truly hate the Jedi, he would punish her for leaving, yes, but she would have renewed devotion to her order. Certainly she would be more devoted than she was before and if she found out some little secret about the Jedi while in their presence all the better. It was only a matter of time till she crossed the line and he always had time. ********************** So how do ya all like it? -----signature----- Everybody needs a little chaos.

	Since nobody's givng me feedback I'm ont going to post the next part until I know someon's actually reading this. ******************** Obi-Wan and Raya were sitting in the garden eating their breakfast. “Wasn’t this a great idea.” Obi-Wan said enjoying the sun. He noticed Raya was only picking at her food and all her senses were on full alert. “What’s wrong?” he asked. “Nothing, it’s just I’m not used to being out in the open in broad daylight like this.” “Why not?” “I’m a night person and out here I feel so vulnerable.” “Raya it’s the palace gardens nothing can get over the palace walls.” he said. “I guess I’m a nothing then aren’t I.” “Well, you are, I mean were a Sith.” “So is my Master.” she said quietly. “He isn’t your Master anymore and I doubt he’s just going to stroll into the gardens in broad daylight, besides I’m here and I won’t let anything happen to you.” he said reassuringly. “Yes, my Mast- the Sith Lord is going to be afraid of a still recovering Jedi Padawan, which his apprentice was able to defeat without much trouble.” “I let you defeat me.” “I nearly took off your arm.” “True, but I almost touched you with my lightsaber.” “Almost doesn’t mean you did. Not to mention if your Master hadn’t been there the first night I would have beaten you so badly you’d still be cr-” she stopped, noticing Qui-Gon staring at her from ten feet behind Obi-Wan, an ominous look on his face. Obi-Wan turned around. “Oh, high Master. You want to join us for breakfast?” “I’ve already eaten.” he said. “Where have you been, I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” “Just in the gardens Master.” “Let me guess whose idea that was.” he said looking at Raya. She seemed to shrink under his scrutiny. She wasn’t comfortable in his presence. “It was my idea Master. I thought Raya could use some sun, seeing as how she’s so pale.” he said sensing Raya’s discomfort. “I’m sure. Obi-Wan, I gave you your lightsaber back last night, where is it?” Qui-Gon asked. Obi-Wan looked down at his belt where he kept it, it wasn’t there. “I guess I left it in my room Master.” How could he have forgotten it? “I’ll go get it right now.” he said getting up and running to the palace. Qui-Gon sat down where Obi-Wan had been to wait. “I suppose your eyes are a real advantage to you in a fight. No one would suspect that someone who looked so innocent could be a ruthless killer. They‘re probably the only reason you‘re so good. It‘s not skill you just rely on others sympathy.” Qui-Gon said nonchalantly. Raya immediately went on the defensive. No one talked to her like that. “I suppose it would look like that to someone with so many decades of experience. I guess someone as ancient as you would probably have trouble remembering that every time I met you I had my hood concealing my face, but don’t worry it’s common among men of the older generation.” Raya could feel the Jedi Master’s anger rising. “Careful Jedi Master, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, which leads to power. You might find that you like the feeling of power. We wouldn’t want that now would we.” Raya smiled, while she was a skilled fighter she was also at getting to people through words. “Do you know why you despise me so much? It’s because you’re scared of me. You’ve seen how strong I am and though I’m not as strong as you yet, I’m stronger than most of the knights in the order.” “You’re a chameleon.” he said quietly. “You can make yourself look good and have good intentions but underneath you’re still the same twisted Sith.” His words shocked Raya for a moment. He was right. She was trying to be good but she was still evil. She regretted saying what she did to him. She shouldn’t have, she’d let her anger get the best of her. What if she couldn’t change, what if it just wasn’t possible? She suddenly felt hopeless, like nothing she could do could make her anything more than she was. A single tear fell down her cheek. “You’re right.” she said quietly. “I’m never going to change.” she put her head in her hands and cried. Qui-Gon was taken aback by the girl’s show of emotion. He couldn’t help but have pity on her. Maybe Obi-Wan was right, he thought, maybe she is trying to change. He couldn’t be sure, but he promised himself that even if he didn’t trust her he would try to be a little nicer to the girl while staying cautious. He hesitantly put a hand on her shoulder and she looked up at him with her sad eyes. He could see what had drawn Obi-Wan to her. She looked sincere about wanting to change. He would still have to watch her but being nice never hurt anyone. ******************* If somone gives me feedback I'll post again. -----signature----- Everybody needs a little chaos.

	You all posted so here's another part to the story. ************** By the time Obi-Wan returned Raya had stopped crying. “So, Master, what did you do about the vandal?” Obi-Wan asked. “The investigation is still open. Raya, can I ask you a few questions about the Sith Lord.” Qui-Gon asked. Seeing her hesitation he added, “If you really want to step off the darkened path this is a good start.” “What do you want to know?” she said quietly. “Was this the first time he’s hurt you?” “No.” “How many other times has he hurt you like this?” he asked gently. “I don’t know, he hasn’t done it in a while, but I haven’t disobeyed him in a few months.” “So he does this when you disobey him?” “Or when I fail to do something he’s asked.” “Like what?” he questioned. “Um, a few months ago he told me to find out who the leader of a secret organization was and I didn’t figure it out until the group had caused a lot of damage to my Master’s plans.” she said. “How long did it take you to find him after your Master had first given you this task?” “It took me three days.” “Three days.” Qui-Gon repeated, even Obi-Wan looked surprised. This girl had found a person she knew nothing about in three days and he considered it to long? What kind of monster was he? “Do you remember when he took you as his apprentice?” “Yes.” she answered. “Would you tell us about it?” She told them the whole story, starting with when she was playing in the park and ending with the death of the last Sith apprentice and how her eyes had been different from then on. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan listened intently to every word and there was a long silence after she finished. It was a moving story. Qui-Gon spoke first. “Where is your Master now?” “Probably out looking for me, he has to be angry now that I’ve left. He’ll kill me if he finds me.” “Why won’t he just dismiss you as his apprentice?” Obi-Wan asked. “In the Sith order dismissal means you... a Sith can’t leave the order.” she answered. “What does that mean?” Obi-Wan asked. “It means,” Qui-Gon said, “that Sith apprentices are killed when they are dismissed.” “Why?” “Because we know that the Sith exist. We’ve survived because we can hide. If the Jedi knew we were still around they would hunt us down.” she said. “Raya, if the Sith Lord wasn’t here where would he be?” Qui-Gon asked. He was starting to wonder how much information he could get out of this girl. She could be very valuable to the Jedi Council. “On Coruscant.” “Where on Coruscant.” “I don’t know he moves around a lot. He gives me coordinates on where to go when I get in orbit around the planet, it’s always different.” “Does he hold a position on the planet?” “Yes.” “What does he do?” “I don’t know he never told me. All I know is that he has a high political position.” Qui-Gon asked another question. “If you saw pictures of all the people in high political positions could you pick him out?” Raya hung he head. “No.” she said. “Why not?” Qui-Gon asked. “I’ve never seen him without his hood. He never takes it off in my presence.” “It’s all right Raya.” Qui-Gon said feeling the girl’s sense of worthlessness. ------------------------------------- Lord Sidious did not like what he was hearing in the conversation between his apprentice and the two Jedi. Raya had already told them too much. He would have to do something about the two Jedi, they knew about his residence on Coruscant and who knows what else Raya would tell them. He was going to have to fetch his apprentice instead of letting her return on her own and he would have to take care of at least one of the Jedi. Kenobi had spent more time with Raya, he definitely had to go and if he played his cards right he could get it to look like Raya had betrayed him. If he trapped the boy and Raya someplace where Master Jinn could see them, but not help them then he could kill Kenobi. He was sure Raya would not attack him and it would look like she’d lured Obi-Wan there. Qui-Gon would them believe Raya had been evil all along and would disregard the information she’d given them. He’d take Raya back to her ship and make sure she never left again or even had the idea to. He began to think of a slow painful punishment to put Raya through, one that would make her fear him permanently. ***************** The more feedback I get the more I'll post. -----signature----- Everybody needs a little chaos.

	**************** The next few days were slow at the palace. Obi-Wan was almost completely recovered and Raya had told Qui-Gon just about everything she knew f her ex-master, which wasn’t much. To Obi-Wan’s enjoyment, Qui-Gon seemed to be warming up to Raya. She hadn’t let her anger get the best of her since the incident with Qui-Gon. Although she still couldn’t relax anywhere but in her room, and she knew that it was a false sense of security. Qui-Gon was pleased at the fact that she didn’t seem to mind Obi-Wan or himself following her everywhere. In reality she wanted to have at least one of the Jedi with her at all times, she expected that any minute her Master... no the Sith Lord would come for her. She knew she was strong but she was nothing compared to him. Obi-Wan was also finding that the pity he’d first had for Raya was melting and the weak friendship they’d had when he first convinced her to leave the Sith order was deepening somewhat. The more he got to know her the more he liked her and this time he wasn’t being influenced by a fever or delusions. If she had grown up in the temple he was sure she and him would have been good friends. She was beginning to trust him more. It was a good thing considering she’d never trusted anyone before. In his eyes she was a young beautiful girl with a good heart hidden under the ice. He’d blamed his earlier attraction to her on the ordeal he’d been through, but now that he was better and still feeling it he was simply denying that he liked her more than he let on. It was dark out and the three of them were walking back to the palace, Obi-Wan and Raya were walking slightly in front of Qui-Gon when they heard the sound. “What’s that sound?” Obi-Wan asked and they all stopped to listen. “Sounds like a motor.” Qui-Gon said. But Raya knew exactly what it was and a feeling of dread washed over her. He hand went to her lightsaber concealed in her cloak. She didn’t want to have to use it, but if she was right she might have to. Obi-Wan noticed the expression on her face. “What is it, Raya?” he asked. “He’s here.” she said just above a whisper. The two looked her in disbelief. “Are you sure?” Qui-Gon asked, his hand went to his lightsaber, feeling the warning of danger the force was giving him. Raya nodded. That’s when they saw the probe droids. They each had automatic blaster that could fire ten shots per second. There were at least twenty of them and they all circled around Qui-Gon, cutting him off from Obi-Wan and Raya. He had his lightsaber activated but there was no way he could deflect all the shot it they fired at once. Obi-Wan’s saber was immediately activated and he was prepared to help his Master. Raya backed away from the two Jedi, she wanted no part of the slaughter that was about to take place. She was a fool to think the Jedi could protect her. “I wouldn’t suggest you attack the droids boy.” said a figure as it stepped out of the shadows. “Any attack on them will cause them to fire at your Master.” He turned to look at Raya. “Raya, I’m disappointed in you. You let yourself be fooled by a mere boy. But don’t worry it’s nothing a little training won’t fix. I won’t kill you, you’re too important to me for that. It would be a waste of talent.” Raya took another step back trying to keep the fear out of her eyes. “I have to thank you, getting both the Jedi out here so I can trap them was brilliant. I couldn’t have done it without you. As for you Master Jinn, I wouldn’t suggest you move a muscle or my droids will fire so many rounds no one will be able to tell what species you were.” He drew his lightsaber and activated it. It’s red blade shot from the hilt and he leaped at Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan ignited his own sapphire blade and blocked the Sith’s first attack. The Sith Master hammered at him again and again and Obi-Wan barely blocked each attack. For her viewpoint Raya could she that her Master wasn’t even trying. She saw the helpless look on Qui-Gon’s face as he watched his apprentice fight for survival. The Sith Lord aimed a high strike which Obi-Wan raised his lightsaber to block, the Sith Lord at the last moment brought his lightsaber down on Obi-Wan’s wrist nearly severing his hand from his body. Obi-Wan hissed in pain and dropped his lightsaber. Lord Sidious kicked it a way from the young Jedi. Raya closed her eyes so she wouldn't see the carnage that was about to happen, Obi-Wan was as good as dead and she couldn’t do a thing about it. Smiling the Sith lifted his lightsaber for a killing blow. *************** What do you think? -----signature----- Everybody needs a little chaos. "I never liked fate. He always cheats at cards."

	Here's the next part;) ****************** Raya had her eyes closed but she could still see what would happen. Her Master would bring down his lightsaber and Obi-Wan would fall to the ground in two pieces. Qui-Gon would then try to get to his already dead apprentice and would be killed by the droids. Then her Master would drag her back to their ship and she would spend the next few weeks in Hell for leaving. Lord Sidious would extinguish any good in her soul and she would go back to being the cold-blooded killer she had been. Not a good looking future. The next few seconds seemed like forever. The only person that had ever reached out to her was about to die, but something in her rebelled against it. She heard Obi-Wan cry out as he saw the saber coming at him. She reached inside herself trying to find the darkness so she could block out what was happening, but found something else instead. It was the Force and she wrapped it around her, but it wasn’t the dark side, it was the light. Instead of giving her power as the darkness did, it gave her wisdom and insight. So this is why the Jedi have such strength, she thought, neither side is stronger, they both have different facets which make them equal. Raya’s reflexes were moving her before she realized it. Her lightsaber was out and she put herself between Obi-Wan and the Sith Lord. Their two blades met with a crackle before Lord Sidious took a step back in surprise. His apprentice was now facing him lightsaber up and ready, the same apprentice he’d seen so many times only now she looked so different. Her eyes had changed, there was still a slight sign of sadness but now her eyes seemed more filled with determination. He felt the light of the Force flowing from her. Inwardly he sighed, now there was another fault in his apprentice he would have to fix. He threw out the punishment he’d been thinking of, he’d have to come up with a worse one. His apprentice was too good just to let go of. The surprise wearing off, he attacked her with more strength then he’d had with the boy. Raya moved cautiously always keeping herself in between her Master and Obi-Wan. She knew she didn’t have a chance to win this fight, she was already on the defensive and she could feel her strength waning. She needed to free Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan couldn’t fight anymore, not with his hand the way it was. Blocking one of the Sith Lord’s assaults she risked a look behind her at Qui-Gon. The probe droids looked familiar. Of course, she thought, they’re from my ship! She still had her wrist link on, if she could get far enough away from the fight she could deactivate the droids and Qui-Gon would be free to fight the Sith Lord. She’d have to switch off her lightsaber to do so. Blocking the Sith’s last attack she used the Force to jump back several yards, while she turned off her lightsaber. The Sith Lord not realizing what she was doing, ran to catch up. She pushed flipped a switch on her wrist link just as Lord Sidious approached her. Almost immediately the probe droids fell from the air to the ground. Qui-Gon rushed towards them. Raya reactivated her lightsaber. To slowly she moved to block the next attack and she felt the blade burn deeply into her side. She watched as her former Master extracted the blade from her side. She fell to the ground, then into the blackness. ************ Feedback is welcomed. -----signature----- Everybody needs a little chaos. "I never liked fate. He always cheats at cards."

	Here's the next part. ***************** Qui-Gon saw Raya fall. She’d freed him, but at what price. He started towards the Sith as quickly as he could. Obi-Wan had also seen Raya’s failed block and was on his feet with his lightsaber in his left hand, pain forgotten. Lord Sidiuos turned to see the two Jedi advancing toward him. The idiots, he thought, I have the resources to heal her, they don’t. He turned to face them. He was skilled in lightsaber dueling, but he didn’t want to risk them seeing his face. He gathered the Dark Side around him and leapt back into the shadows. The Jedi were immediately at Raya’s side. The wound to her side was serious, Qui-Gon felt for a pulse. He felt one, but it was weaker than it should have been. He wasn’t too worried though, Jedi had returned to the temple with wounds like this and survived. He looked down at Obi-Wan, his face was pale and there was guilt in his eyes. “She attacked him so he wouldn’t kill me.” he said with tears in his eyes. Qui-Gon ripped a strip of cloth of the bottom of his cloak and started to wrap it around Raya’s wound. “It was her choice to help you, Padawan. You didn’t ask her to, but now is not the time for guilt. We have to get her to the healers and you need to have your wrist looked at.” Qui-Gon said as he picked her up from the ground and headed in the direction of the palace. Obi-Wan retrieved her lightsaber and hurried behind his Master. -------------------------- Obi-Wan waited outside the healers room, starring at his bandaged hand. The head healer had wanted to talk to Qui-Gon alone, as far as he was considered that was a bad sign. He picked up Raya’s lightsaber from the chair next to him where he had set it. It was the first time he’d gotten a close up look at it. It was the same length and width of his only the hilt was black. Onyx, he guessed. It had been carved to look like an animal, a winged lizard. It looked like a dragon form the stories he’d been told as a child. Each scale had been delicately carved, along with folded wings and legs. The dragons mouth was open like it was breathing fire, he guessed that was where the blade was emitted from. On closer inspection he saw the dragon even had tiny teeth carved in it’s mouth. It was truly a work of art. Compared to Raya’s lightsaber his and his Master’s were crude bulky weapons. If Raya survived he’d have to ask her about it’s origins. ---------------------------- Raya was vaguely aware that she wasn’t in the gardens anymore. She tried to open her eyes but she couldn’t seem to get enough strength. She could hear parts of a conversation taking place not far away. She recognized Qui-Gon’s angry voice but she didn’t know the other. “What...mean...not...treat...injuries...” Qui-Gon said. “...fatal... not worth...” “...seen worse....recovered...” “...don‘t have...resources...” “...saved...lives...” Qui-Gon said. “...never...seen...like this...wouldn‘t know...were...start...saber...burns not...ordinary...” Raya couldn’t grasp what it meant, she wasn’t feeling to well. It would be nice to go back to not feeling, she thought, it’s not nice to yell so loud. Relaxing she felt herself drift back into the peace of nothingness. ************** Feedback is appreciated -----signature----- Everybody needs a little chaos. "I never liked fate.
