Unable to Catch a Dream

Obi's not a Jedi this time around...

 

UPPPPPP!

 

New part, VERY short. I thought I had all ready posted it; I've had it written for about three weeks now.

The hunter smiled down at Obi-Wan, his smile brightened by the neon lights. He withdrew his knife, already advancing as Obi-Wan rolled to his feet, blood trailing his cut lip. The hunter?s green eyes were tightened around the corners, giving him a pinched look that could be only described as a sneer.

?Wait,? Obi-Wan said, holding his arms out in front of him like a shield. ?Just hold on for a second, okay??

?You tried to kill me,? the hunter said.

?I just wanted to talk,? Obi-Wan responded. ?If it makes you feel any better, you almost killed me.?

The hunter just looked at him closely. ?Your name isn?t Xancar.?

?No,? Obi-Wan said.

?And your accent is different now,? the hunter said.

Obi-Wan nodded. ?I want something new.?

?I don?t understand,? the hunter said, holding his knife out in front of him.

?I am no longer a Jedi,? he said humbly.

The hunter looked at him, as if he were crazed. ?You left??

Obi-Wan forced anger into his facial expression and voice. ?He cut me loose. He set me free.?

?Who?? the hunter said, his curiosity overrunning his need to kill the Jedi.

?My Master,? Obi-Wan replied. ?You don?t know the Jedi Order-?

?Oh, I know,? the hunter said, his anger flaming.

Obi-Wan looked at him, confused, but went on. ?He hates bounty hunters. He hates their guts. He believes I failed him because of them? because of you? I have to hurt him. I have to make him regret what he did.?

The hunter withdrew his knife, flipped it, and replaced it in its sheath. He cocked an eyebrow at the Jedi? or former Jedi, if he wasn?t lying. The hunter peered closely into Obi-Wan blue/gray eyes, and seemed for a moment to search him. He closed his eyes, thought for a good moment, and then said, ?I believe you.?

Obi-Wan composed himself, then nodded. ?I need help.?

The hunter smiled at him, his smile manic. ?You want me to help you??

?Yes.?

?And why would you do that??

?Because I /hate/ the Jedi Order! Because I want to make them suffer like they?ve made ms suffer! I want them to pay for every grievance against me they committed! I don?t deserve this!?

The hunter cocked an eyebrow. ?And how is that my problem??

Obi-Wan?s eyes flashed quickly. The hunter saw it, and to himself, he smiled.

?I know things,? Obi-Wan said. ?I know about the Jedi. I know who you are. I know that you?re the hunter everyone is after. I can help you. I know things. I know a lot of things.?

The hunter laughed. ?Sure you do. You know enough to come here, hide your accent, adopt a different personality, and then get caught??

The Jedi?s eyes flared in anger. He took a step towards the hunter, thought better of it, and withdrew.

Again the hunter laughed. ?And I thought you knew better than that,? he sneered.

?I need you,? Obi-Wan said.

The hunter sighed. ?You know who I am.?

?That?s why I need you. The Chancellor is dead after you. He wants you dead. That?s why I need you to help me. I was entrusted. I can throw it in their faces!?

?How so?? the hunter asked.

Obi-Wan held a hand up to his bleeding lip. He held it in front of the hunter, showing the blood. ?I?m going to hurt them. I?m going to make them bleed. I?m going to kill the Chancellor.?

As the words left Obi-Wan?s mouth, the hunter?s eyes opened in shock. He stared at the young man in front of him, startled at the fact a Jedi wanted to assassinate the most powerful man in the galaxy. And it wasn?t just any Jedi- it was Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn?s Padawan.

The hunter knew Qui-Gon well.

?You want to kill him? What would that prove??

Obi-Wan decided to be blunt. ?I think you?re more intelligent than you?re letting on. You know how it will look when a renegade Jedi kills the Chancellor. Chaos. Everyone in the Republic will hate the Jedi. The citizens?if they can?t trust the Jedi, who can they trust??

The hunter nodded, contemplating what the Jedi has said.

 

I was wondering if you forgot about this one! Great job, and I hope to see more soon!

--later--

 

I am waiting....

 

Awesome post! I wonder how that Bounty Hunter knows Qui-Gon. Ah well, I'm sure we'll find out soon. Obi is doing great with his anger and all. A wonderful actor, just like our Ewan. *sighs* I can't wait to see where this ends up! Wonderful emotions and such, you expressed what Obi-Wan must be feeling superbly.

 

That was amazing! Yet you leave it at that! I wanna know what this guy is about and how in sith name does he know about my Obi.

Well can't wait for more and up!
