Author Notes: Well this is the bunny that bit me hard during National Novel Writing Month. I'm working furiously towards getting more finished by the week's end and posting this in hopes that it'll jump start my muse and give me the energy to reach the end. I know I said I was retiring this screen name, but I found I just couldn't get rid of it, and I missed it too much I'll be updating with both user names in this thread.




//Obi-Wan?//

The voice in his mind was soft, but urgent. Desperate even. Obi-Wan blinked as he came too, rubbing sleep from his eyes. He thought he had heard his master calling him.

//Master?//

But Qui-Gon was gone, alone on a solo mission. He was staying with his Master?s friend Jabir Carth Reiran while he was away. It had been an emergency mission, but was supposedly going to be a very short trip. He had been recovering from an injury he?d received, so his Master had elected to have him stay with a friend rather than take him along. Surely he couldn?t have heard him. Perhaps he was just dreaming. He glanced at his bedside chronometer. It was three in the morning.

He vaguely wondered what time it was where his Master was and was almost about to drift off again when he heard the call again.

//Obi-Wan!//

He sat bolt upright at the panicked sounding shout. He had never heard his Master sound like that before. The teenager reached back desperately.

//Master?// he called again, louder this time.

There was a pause, then a pain like nothing he?d ever felt inside his mind. He screamed as what felt like white-hot knives dug into his mind, ripping away the bond he shared with his Master. The pain was making him nauseous. It hurt, Force it hurt. How long could he possibly endure this?

It drove deeper still, seeming to tear the very essence of him apart, when it abruptly ended.

He panted for breath, and his mind was dazed dimly by the abruptness of which the daggers had cut off. He reached tentatively for the bond with his master.

Where Qui-Gon?s bright presence had always been in his mind, there was a dark void, a hole in the Force. Numb with disbelief, he realized the only possible explanation.

Qui-Gon was dead.

 

Qui-Gon's dead?

The description of the breaking of the master/padawan bond was so sad!

Well, you've got me hooked. If there is a PM list, could be on it?

Keep up the great work!

 

Do I think this Carth?

No. He's not dead. I don't believe you!

The destruction of the bond was great. Loved it.

However, I think Obi is jumping to conclusions but he's a kid. He's allowed.

Qui-Gon was dead.

Great job. PM me with updates.

 

No! You wouldn't do that would you? You wouldn't kill Qui-Gon? Something has to be up...

Although, the breaking of the bond was evidently very real...Brilliant beginning to this and I definitely want to be added to the PM list.

 

Qui-Gon was dead



What a way to kick off a story!

I hope Obi-Wan is somehow mistaken...

If you have a PM list for this, please add me

Looking forward to more

 

Of course Qui is not dead. Silly readers. It's a cliffie.

Great job - please add me to the PM list.

 

Noooo! Oh, what a terrible way to wake up in the night, worse than a nightmare I might add.

This was very poetically written, had a very nice flow about it. You have got me intrigued! Please, update as soon as you can! Awesome start! Please put me on your PM list, if you have one, thank you!

 

No! There must be some mistake. Qui Gon, dead.

Please post more soon

 

Awesome beginning! Although now I'm worried/sad! You can't kill Qui (even if the description from Obi-Wan was well written and heart-breakingly sad) and you've hooked me. If there's a PM list could I be added? Also, awesome writing!

 

Oh no! Qui-Gon! This is a great start. I'm interested to see where you're going with this.

Can't wait for more!
