Chapter 5
Belle and Jamie, 2 years ago had found some strange rocks on the sidewalk. There were 3 of them, although Jamie claimed 1 was only necessary. Belle took the other 2. Later that night, when they were nearly asleep, Belle constructed twin lightsabers. She didn't know how, but they worked. Jamie had also constructed one of her own. Now they were reaching for their weapons. Belle ignited her blue and green blades first. Quickly followed by Jamie igniting her own blue blade, however Jamie was the first to move. Dooku was caught by surprise when Jamie suddenly attacked him. Belle was entirely defensive. Every occasional attack was blocked. Jamie continued to attack Dooku and finally Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka took a step back. Surprised by the girls sudden abilities. And truthfully the two had spent time mostly everyday practicing together almost everyday since they got their lightsabers. Jamie was suddenly pushed away by Dooku who proceeded to stalk towards her. But was cut off by a blur of color charging him. Belle wasn't better than Jamie, but she could she could jump onto his back and bring him down. Belle wasn't tall. In fact the girls had similar appearances with similar face shape, higher cheek-bones, blonde hair and lean figures. But Jamie was much taller than Belle.
Dooku was in a state of shock and Belle had no problems pinning him down, de-armed him and knocked him out.
Belle had accumulated, from what they could see, a bloody nose. Jamie walked over holding a cut on her side. It wasn't too terribly bad. "I'm impressed." Anakin said raising an eyebrow. Belle rolled off of Dooku, who was out cold. Now that she was standing they could see a small cut on her arm. It was also not serious. Belle pinched her nose and grinned. "We should probably clean up. C'mon I have supplies at my house."
They were walking across Jamie's backyard when Rex piped up. "Ma'am did you leave a light on?" Belle was also looking at her kitchen window. "Maybe. I don't remember turning one on though." She paled. "You guys should stay outside for a little bit." Belle trailed off. Jamie glanced at her. "Got it." She said sitting down leaning up against the deck. Belle pushed the door open and light flooded out. Everything fell silent as Belle walked in. "Oh. Hello mom!" Belle exclaimed weakly. "Where have you been!" A female voice scolded. "I've been trying to get a hold of you!" Belle uneasily answered "I was with friends." Her mom was quick to reply. "What friends?" Belle grasped for words.
"You just missed them. They had to go home."
Belle's mom was persistent though.
"Was Jamie with you?"
"Yes."
"Why on earth are you covered in blood?" Belle again struggled for words.
"Uh-puberty?"
It took all of Jamie's will power not to burst out laughing. The others stared open mouthed at the door.
"Really? I thought it was done?" Her mom asked calming down.
"Nope, it kinda exploded." Belle said, clearly embarrassed.
"Well go clean up then. Don't forget I have work at 8 so I have to leave in 30 minutes."
There was a 'yes mom' before Belle bolted.
They heard her mother sigh. "You left the door open again Isabelle." They scrambled out of eyesight as her mom came out for a second before returning inside and closing the door.
Jamie held her breath a bit longer before letting it out and whispering,"her mom is going to rest so we can sneak in. Over here." They followed Jamie to a small section of the house. Gathering some pebbles, she tossed them at the window above.
It slid open and a hand appeared. Followed by Belle's head.
"C'mon." When they finally made it into, what they suspected was Belle's room, they were drenched in water, from a sudden downpour. Anakin shook his head like a dog to rid himself of water. Still covered in blood, Belle was staring at another moving picture box. Jamie walked over to join her. "Can you tell us what happened here?" Someone in the the box asked another person. Ahsoka reached for her lightsabers, but Padmé touched her arm. "Another one." Belle whispered.
"Another what?" Rex asked.
"Nothing!" Belle said, her cheerful mood returning.
"Let's get you cleaned up, and blending with the crowd."
