Chapter 3, part 2
Caleb woke with a scream, the whole jedi temple trembling from a large force wave being sent out by him. He trembled, his eyes wide.
Master Depa Billiba ran in. "Caleb, what's wrong?!"
Caleb looked up at her, his eyes amber, as fear and anger pulsed off of him in waves. Billiba ran to him, pulling him in a hug as Caleb cried onto her. Billiba comforted him, already slightly knowing what had Caleb so upset. She had had the same dream, though was able to know it was a mind trick becuase she had more control over her mind than Caleb did. She put her hand on Caleb's head, sending a calming force wave to his mind, as she helped protect his mind. As she did that, Caleb instantly passed out, not used to this. Billiba held Caleb in her arms. "I'm sorry, Caleb. I should've taught you to guard your mind a bit sooner." She whispered, patting his head softly.
When Caleb woke next, it was almost afternoon. He sat up, starting to cry, holding his head in his hands. Despite his masters efforts, he still believed what he had seen was true.
He didn't realise that someone had come in, until someone embraced him in a one armed hug. He flinched at first, though soon recognized the person. "Falcon!" He shouted, squeezing her in a tight hug.
Falcon let both a grimace and a small smile come onto her face, making a slightly interesting combo. "C-Caleb, my arm.." she murmured.
Caleb pulled away, noticing Falcon's arm was in a sling, and she had a few cleaned up cuts and bruises. He let out a breath he hadn't realised he had been holding.
Falcon smiled, and used her good arm to wipe away his tears with her finger. She then ran that hand through his hair, pulling him close to her, as he rested her head carefully on her chest.
"I thought I lost you."
"No, Caleb. Grevious had gotten into my mind, and sent a nightmare to each person I was connected through the force to. He had the upper hand for awhile there, but we finally captured him. He's heading to the temple prison now."
Caleb lifted his head from her chest, holding her head as he gently kissed her, and she kissed him back, blushing. He soon pulled away from the kiss, wrapping her in a gentle hug. After awhile, Falcon returned to her room, as the two padawans got ready for the rest of the day. They went, and ate lunch with the others.
Zack gave a sigh. "I had the same nightmare. Are you sure it was just simply a nightmare? I mean, Grevious will escape, and when he does, how do we know what happened in the nightmare isn't a vision?"
Caleb held Falcon's hand tightly under the table, ironically not letting her finish her lunch. "It won't happen, becuase I will protect her with my life. I love you, Falcon." He told her, pulling her into a hug.
Falcon smiled softly. "I love you too Caleb, but if you don't let me eat my food when its right in front of me, I will make you a miserable man in the galaxy."
Caleb sweatdropped, and let go of her hand , letting Falcon eat her food.
On the other side of the table, Julia shook her head in amusement. "Which reminds me. Zack, what have I told you about letting things cool down before you go and say what's on your mind?"
Zack sweatdropped. "Oh Geez, I wonder if I'll live till tommorow."
Kallus rolled his eyes. "All this lovy dovy crap between yall is annoying."
Zack ruffled Kallus's hair. "You're just jealous that you'll be lonely for the rest of your life."
Kallus gave a pout. "Zack, sometimes you make me think I was the eldest."
Julia giggled.
After lunch, the all headed off to train, except Caleb, who had managed to avoid his master. He went into the library, trying to find a book or a holocron about strengthening the mind. That is till he felt a presence behind him. He turned around.
A scream rang out through the temple.
