Eryce trudges into her thread with a new post only to find it empty. Where have all the people gone?

***
The rays of the setting sun filtered through the blinds, painting the stark whiteness of the medical bay into a breathtaking canvas of fiery colours. There in a quiet corner of the room, by a plain simple medical cot, a man sat by the window. A child was clasped protectively against his chest, kept safe from the world and all its dangers. They were both asleep, the golden hue of the sun bathing them both with light.

That was how Healer Leona found them. A small smile curved her lovely lips, taking a few moments to soak in the scene before her, enjoying the aura of peace and love around her. This is what life all about. Sensing too good an opportunity to waste, she hurried to the drawer which kept her belongings and after rummaging around, fished out a holo-cube. Grinning to herself, she took a snapshot, her intention to capture the moment for all eternity.

Grinning to herself, she activated the holo-cube, sighing in wonder as the 3-D holo-picture came to life, feeling quite pleased with the results. It was the kind of picture that would bring tears to one's eyes with its sheer beauty, the tapestry of colors woven with the force of emotion that Qui-Gon obviously feels for the boy. It reflected love. Trust. Warmth. It was all there. It was Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.

This is a perfect birthday present for Qui. I wonder if-

A sudden flutter of shadows shook her from her musings. Startled, she raised her head sharply, trying to find the source of disturbance. Everything seemed normal, the two were still fast asleep. Puzzled, she reached out with the Force but found nothing amiss. She shrugged and mentally chided herself. It was probably just her imagination playing tricks on her. But wait. There it was again. The light in the room darkened noticeably, flickering before returning to normal its golden tinge.

What's going on here?

She reached out again but sensed nothing out of the ordinary. The shadows in the room starting prancing around her, mocking her, daring her to catch them even as Master and Apprentice slept on. Fully alarmed now, she moved to wake Qui-Gon but before she could reach him, a sudden burning at her fingers grabbed her attention. The holo-cube. The source of darkness held in her hand. The glory of colors she had seen only minutes before in the holo-picture receded, leaving only a grayness with murkiness within its depths. The love and warmth captured in the picture bled away, even as the holo-cube grew hotter, replaced by deeper, darker emotions - pain, betrayal ? fear.

She dropped the holo-cube with a gasp of shock, falling from her grasp, smashing on impact with the floor. She could only watch as the holo-picture flickered before disappearing altogether as the cube shattered into fragments, the pieces scattering over the floor. What was whole was now?. broken.

"Leona?" A sleepy voice said her name, jerking her back to the present. Qui-Gon. "What's that noise?"

Leona opened her mouth, ready to tell him what she had seen but closed it again without saying anything. The room had returned to its cheerful state with no hint of malevolence, her earlier fright dissipating like mist under the sun. Just a few seconds after her experience and already she felt like it had been just a bad dream. She felt more than a little foolish, allowing shadows scare her like that. After all, if it there had been anything, Qui-Gon would have sensed it immediately, asleep or not. Yet.. it had all been so real.

You've been working too hard, Leona.

"Nothing, Qui." She forced a smile, turning her attention to the Jedi Master. "Clumsy old me dropped something again."

Qui-Gon smiled fondly at her before trying to straighten the kinks in his shoulders and back without disturbing his Padawan still wrapped in his arms. Obi-Wan made a grumpy sound of protest against the movement, tightening his hold on his Master's tunic.

"Hush, Padawan. I'm still here." Qui-Gon murmured comfortingly into his ap

 

You've got more than one supporter!!!

It's just hard to keep up when updates are few and far between -- we'll all be rocketting out of the woodwork now you're back.

That was a great post by the way, eerie and guaranteed to keep us all guessing for a long time.

 

I'm still here, and I'm glad to see you've posted. That was good foreshadowing! Keep going!

 

"MMmmrrrrmpphh?."

"Go back to sleep, Padawan." Qui-Gon hastened to say but green eyes were already opened, blinking sleepily against the light of the room.

"Master?" Obi-Wan sounded like he wasn't quite awake yet. "Wha-where?. Why are you carrying me?" The green eyes suddenly widened as he caught sight of Leona, his cheeks turning bright pink. Obi-Wan squirmed desperately in his Master's arms, horrified at his loss of dignity in front of a female. "Master, you can put me down now."

Master, Healer Leona's here!

Qui-Gon started laughing uproariously, his arms tightening around his Padawan's wriggling body, preventing him from leaving the circle of his embrace.

"Master!" Obi-Wan glared at his Master balefully. "Are you laughing at me?" Which only caused his Master to laugh even more.

Finally giving up on escaping his Master's clutches, Obi-Wan buried his head against Qui-Gon's chest in an attempt to hide his mortified expression from an amused Leona. "I fail to see what's so hilarious about humiliating me in front of Healer Leona." He pouted.

"Well, Padawan." Qui-Gon smirked, fondly ruffling Obi-Wan's short spiky hair. "And I fail to see why you should be embarrassed in front of a woman who has seen you in your diapers -"

"Master!" Leona could not see the boy's face but she noted that the tips of his ears were an interesting shade of red.

"- and Force only knows how many times she has seen you with only those drafty dressing which shows your little bott-"

"Master!!!" Obi-Wan wailed even louder from the vicinity of Qui-Gon's chest. "I should have stayed asleep?" He groaned softly which only served to crack Qui-Gon and Leona up, their laughter echoing in the medical bay as the sun set.

In the months to come, she would remember this day, with its golden sunlight, laughter and love, only to mourn its passing.
