Chapter Twelve

He had expected resistance.

In fact, he had anticipated it. Prepared for it. Given the current state of his Padawan, he wouldn?t have expected anything else. He had been ready for yet another emotional battle, one in which he would have to fight his student on the mental territory that his Apprentice knew best.

But there hadn?t been any opposition.

At all.

There had been pain, yes. Intense pain. A surprising amount of pain, actually. And fear. Cloying terror wrapped around itself in confusion. Both submissive to the overriding heat induced delirium. But no resistance. No dissension. No challenge. No opposition to outside influence. None of the rebellion that had been openly expressed immediately before. Instead, there was agreement. Acceptance. Eager anticipation of what he would do once his intentions were made known, instant obedience appearing from nothing once it was clear that he would silence the surrounding storm, that he would drive out the suffocating shadows. There was no resistance when it was revealed that he would quiet the screaming chains that bound his Padawan.

Obi-Wan could not possibly refuse what he wanted most.

Having just brought his hand away from his now unconscious student?s forehead, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn sighed heavily, the deep frown that had settled onto his features entrenching itself even more firmly while he stared down at the resting younger Jedi within Obi-Wan?s small room on the battered transport ship. Marveling at what had just occurred inside the cramped quarters and pondering his next actions, the elder man looked at the specter of a smile on his Apprentice?s sleeping face, the visible expression of peace failing to diminish the dark sense of dread that permeated the silent room. It really is surprising, the Jedi Master mused soundlessly, his aged eyes becoming steadily more disenchanted with the ashen pallor of his Padawan. Amazing. I can tell Obi-Wan anything, and he will believe me. Absolutely anything. I can tell him that everything will be fine. I can tell him that he has nothing to worry about, that there isn?t anything that he could possibly be concerned with. I can tell him that he can safely rest. I can insist that everything is perfectly and unquestioningly fine, and Obi-Wan will believe me.

Even when it?s not true.

Even when I don?t believe it myself. No matter what, Obi-Wan will believe me. He always believes me...because I?m his Master. Because he instinctively trusts me. Because I said so. Because I must be right. Because some small part of him from the day I accepted him all those years ago still honestly believes that his Master is both invincible and infallible, despite the later overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Wondering what exactly to do next, Qui-Gon folded his arms across his chest, his severe frown threatening to become a permanent part of his countenance. And, most of all, because that?s the reality I?ve inflicted on him just now. The world I had to give to him. The artificial peace and quiet of a healing trance. He didn?t have the focus left to impose it himself or help me do it, but he didn?t fight me either. He wanted it. Needed it, and I honestly don?t know if that?s a good sign now or not. Not when he?s this ill. Well, if nothing else, I?ve taken care of the first step, I suppose. Obi-Wan is resting quietly and comfortably. He won?t be aggravating his fever and increasing his temperature now; he can?t do that when he?s not awake. However, it would have been better if I could have kept him up to speak to him, if I could have asked him exactly what he was experiencing. But Obi-Wan refused to let me do that, and now I don?t know what?s wrong with him. The elder man squirmed uncomfortably at the ceaseless feeling of heat enervating from his Apprentice?s side of their link, yet another sign that his Padawan?s te

It's the middle of the night here and while I was reading this there was a major thunderstorm raging just outside my window. It only added to the creepiness. Great post!

JOWK, once again, you amaze us. Excellent work. There just aren't words to describe it. At the edge of my seat again, and hoping for more. --AWK

 

Oh do I love this story... it's absolutely wonderful!!!

I'm rather new here at Fan-Fic, but I'm starting to get the hang of it all

I dunno, I just find it kind of strange that Obi-Wan should dislike doing his maths homework... I guess people look at things in different ways but to be differenciation and integration seems pretty easy compared to some other stuff (But frankly I forgot it in about a week after I learnt it all ).

 

BTW, could someone please tell me what has been happening from JA #6 onwards? I don't know why my bookshops are taking so long, but I just can't find the books.

I'm sorry if this belongs in Literature more, only I would like to know what was based on what had happened in the JA series.

Thanks a million!!!

Post it soon, JOWK, I can't wait to read more...

Sometimes I wonder how the authors are chosen when it seems to me that there are so many great writers here

 

WOW!!! I wasn't expecting that. Once again you amaze me. Great job(as usual).

Please post soon!!! I'm absolutely dying to read more...

 

Please post more soon - this is a great story! (and you did promise not to make us wait to long for the next part

 

More please!!!

 

Valiowk, if you can't find the JA books at your local bookstore, like I can't, try www.amazon.com
Usually get them within the week and only 3 something dollars.
I need to order the new one. HEhehehe plus Pre-Order the Star Wars trilogy movies.

 

....must...have....moooooore!!!!

 

You see, my Mum would never let me order anything online.

That's about it to getting the books from amazon.com.

So what happened? I have a rough idea from the book reviews, but otherwise nothing.
