Wow, you folks are a tough crowd these days. This was on the tail end of page 3!! *sigh* Well, I hope you like this bit.
*******
Obi Wan shuffled along the rough trail leading towards the looming city and kept his gaze centered on his master’s broad back. In the periphery of his vision he could see the small clouds of dust raised by the passage of his master’s boots on the trail. He kept his mind tightly shielded and projected the sense of being in a drugged stupor. He could feel his thoughts slowly emerge as if from a muddy quagmire, but he dared let no one know of his once again emerging attentiveness until he reasoned out what was going on.
After Kithera had dosed him with her vile tasting potion for the third time that day, as small unconscious part of his mind had noticed the pattern of his senses being dulled and slowly sharpening over time. As the sun slowly inched its way to the far horizon, Obi Wan realized that they would soon have to stop and make camp for the night, maybe then he would have the opportunity to attract Qui Gon’s attention and alert him to the dubious intentions of the green robed healer.
“Qui Gon,” Kithera called as if on que from the rear of the trio, “the gates to the city are less than a mile away, but will be closed against the night by the time we reach them. I think we should make camp now, and continue on at first light. We will be at the gates when they open at the suns rising.”
“That may be for the best,” replied the Jedi Master, “and this seems to be a fairly convenient spot.” He indicated a nearby spring set in the rock of the steep hillside, a trickle of water burbling into a small pool next to a birdle tree with branches overhanging a small circular area off to the side of the trail. “Yes,” Qui Gon continued, “we will make camp here. Obi Wan, look around for fallen tree limbs and branches, I think we can afford a small fire tonight to keep back the chill. Kithera, if you would assist me in making our camp as comfortable as possible?”
Obi Wan wandered around the perimeter of their small camp picking up sticks and broken tree limbs and carrying them back to the base of the birdle tree and depositing them in a stack. A short while later, he judged his pile of deadwood large enough to last them through the quickly approaching night. I still need to talk to Qui Gon, he thought, keeping his shields tight, but she’s not letting either one of us out of her sight for long at all.
As the dark of night descended around them, the three travelers sat around a small campfire eating rations that Qui Gon had produced from his rapidly diminishing supply, the flames of the fire crackling merrily under the star filled expanse of the darkened sky.
“Sleep everyone,” Qui Gon said quietly, breaking the silence that had grown between them, “we have an early day tomorrow.”
“In a moment,” Kithera replied quickly, “I need to check Obi Wan again.”
“I hardly think that’s necessary,” Qui Gon replied, “he seems to be getting along just fine, aren’t you Obi Wan?”
Force, now what do I do? “Ummmm,” he replied, keeping his shields at full strength and projecting a sluggishness as he felt the healer’s mind try to make contact with his, “I think...”
“Do I have to remind you of what kind of infections exist on this world?” Kithera snapped at both of them, “It won’t take but a moment, let me do my job as we agreed, or do you want to bury your student in the morning before we continue on this journey?”
Qui Gon looked startled for a moment at her harsh tone and turned his gaze to his padawan. Looking at Obi Wan, Qui Gon’s eyes softened a little in concern and he nodded to the healer. “Very well,” he said shortly as he returned his gaze to the young healer.
Kithera performed the same quick examination of the young man that she had conducted several times during the day, and her diagnosis was the same as all the other times. She rummaged in her belt pouch for a few minutes and produced the now familiar drinking cup that held the all too familiar noxious potion that she had mixed.
“Here,” she crooned softly to Obi Wan as she offered the cup to him, “drink this and you will feel so much better in the morning.”
Obi Wan took the cup and slurped at the contents noisily until there was nothing left, and handed the cup back to the healer. Kithera smiled slightly as she saw the sparkling blue of his eyes dull and his mindless gaze wander to the darkness outside the ring of light provided by the small campfire.
“Now,” she said softly, “get some sleep.”
Obi Wan obediently wrapped his cloak around him and lay on his side with his back to the campfire. With the rustling and shuffling of movement the other two made masking any sound that he might make; he slowly let the potion trickle out the corner of his mouth onto the dusty ground next to him.
Not this time. He thought grimly within the iron-like shields of his mind. Not this time.

Now get up in the night and hack her to bits with your lightsaber, Obi-Wan! Prevention is the best cure!

Thanks for the input ya'll. I hope you like this part. *whispers to Jane Jinn, "time to switch to decaf dearie."*

Obi Wan stared out into the darkness of the night, keeping his mind tightly shielded and cocooned himself in a mental image of slumber in case Kithera sought to probe his thoughts in order to check on her handiwork. With nothing to focus his eyes on except the inky blackness before him, every second seemed as if it were an eternity. He dared not try to contact his master through their bond since the healer may very well sense that oh-so-slight surge in the force surrounding them.
The night dragged on inexorably, he could hear nothing except the night breezes sighing through the surrounding trees and the rhythmic breathing of Qui Gon and Kithera as they slept. With his lack of movement and the relaxing sounds around him, his eyelids became heavy with fatigue more than once. On the first occurrence he caught himself just before sliding into a doze and chomped down hard on the inside of his cheek, the pain of his self induced injury brought him to full wakefulness, but he realized his mistake as he had to risk waking the others when he had to move quickly to spit out the resulting trickle of blood.
As Obi Wan reclined again he discovered the method which he thought would keep him awake for the rest of the night. Whenever he felt his eyelids become heavy, if he slowly moved one of his shoulderblades just right, he could tear open a small bit of the, once again, rapidly healing injuries to his back. The searing pain of reopening his wounds quickly brought him to full awareness, though a few times he overdid it and had to bite back a shriek of pain.
Despite all of his efforts, he must have dozed for a short while, he opened his eyes and sensed the impending arrival of dawn, and it was not too far off now. Obi Wan felt his eyes grow heavy once again and brought himself to wakefulness by abusing his injuries once more. For now, pain is my best ally, he thought tiredly, at least until morning. She will try to dose me again before we continue, only this time I’ll have a surprise for her. Slowly, so as not to make any noise, he moved his hand beneath his Jedi robe for the comforting hilt of his lightsaber on his left hip...huh? Did I put it in one of my pockets?
His slow, deliberate search of the pockets within his robe became faster and more hurried, then frantic. Obi Wan sat bolt upright as he checked the last of the hidden pockets within his Jedi robe, he looked over the dying embers of their small campfire at the healer...
“Master!” he shouted, his voice echoing back mockingly from the nearby cliff face as he leapt to his feet.
Like lightning made mortal, Qui Gon was beside his padawan, lightsaber at the ready, and peering into the shadowy vegetation around them for danger. When nothing presented itself to his inspection, Qui Gon relaxed somewhat and turned to face his student.
“She’s gone, master,” Obi Wan said, pointing to the healer’s vacant bedroll, “as well as my lightsaber.” He pulled his cloak aside to show the empty belt clip positioned just above his left hip.
****
Although her force ability was limited, it was more than enough to guide Kithera as she hurtled gracefully along the path to the city in the pre-dawn darkness. She had tried igniting the purloined lightsaber for illumination, but it dazzled her eyes rather than lit her path, so she had shut it off and relied solely on the force. Her mind trilled to itself as she effortlessly leapt over a burbling stream that bisected the path, her feet made contact with the opposite bank and she continued on her race through the whispering, shadow filled night.
“Oh, Leeemuuuur,” she crooned to the silent night in a singsong voice, “too bad you weren’t a gooooood boooooy. Now the Witch of Dzur Mountain is coooooominnng to geeeeet youuuuuu!”

Hey, Obi-Wan DID realize he was being drugged! Clever boy! Maybe he went through the D.A.R.E. program too, eh? Okay, maybe not.
(I also have to cut down on my caffeine intake, it appears)

Hmmm, Obi-Wan must have done more than just doze off a little, if he didn't sense that evil Kithera scrabbling at his belt for his light saber and then making tracks out of the camp. Why did she drug him in the first place if she was planning on leaving them both behind? Why not try drugging Qui-Gon, too, so that neither of them would notice, or nobody at all? I hope more answers are coming soon.
P.S. I don't drink coffee, decaf or any other kind, and if you think I'm giving up chocolate...

Ummm, people she had the lightsaber before. She took it from him when he was unconscious and that's why she kept him drugged.
Post more Gryph!

I suggest you download it in the installments. All at once takes too long, unless you have GoZilla.
