"Master!!"
"What is it Obi-Wan?"
"I found a child. She's young, abandoned! We can't leave her out here!"
____________
"Hi! I'm Anakin!"
"Hi...Lynn."
____________
"You have to take this seriously Adelynn!"
"Yes Obi-Wan." I grasped the staff, trying to focus. Anakin has moved through his training so quickly, how was I supposed to do the same? He showed me up in every field.
"Stop thinking about him. This is your training not his. Focus!"
My name is Adelynn. Master Kenobi found me on a mission with his master when I was only a baby. My parents abandoned me in the middle of a war. I've been with the Republic ever since, training to be a Jedi Master like those I look up to.
"Can we call it a day? We've been at this too long, I'm exhausted."
"Fine, but then you rise an hour earlier to train with wielding." I knew he wanted the best for me, but that didn't mean he needed to work me so hard.
"Yeah, whatever I'm going to my quarters."
"Goodnight Adelynn." I turned back to see Obi-Wan doing his signature 'dad-wave' he did it every time I left for my room. I always smiled and waved back, replying with a 'sleep well' or something of the sort.
Ever since I could remember Obi-Wan had a other padawan, Anakin Skywalker. I've always been best friends with him, since diapers. We've done everything together, until he passed me up during training and now I feel like I'm holding him back. Lately I've not been his biggest fan, maybe it's because of training, or maybe it's because of his crush of Senator Amidala. She's lovely but she's so much older than him and she deserves someone more than Anakin, plus I might like him also. Everyone tells me he feels the same way about me but I can never take it to heart.
"Lynn!" Ani.
"Can I help you Skywalker?" I turn around. I really didn't want to deal with this today, I wanted to go to my quarters and sleep off today's practice. I wasn't my best today.
"Can I not talk to my partner?"
"Whatever, rough day. What do you want? I know that face."
"I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk...I need some advice."
"I'm sorry Anakin, but I drained, Master Kenobi pushed me hard today."
"He just wants-"
"Yeah I know." I roll my eyes and turn the other way. I'll deal with him tomorrow.
....
"Lynn? Lynn?" I turn over to see Anakin in my room, looking over me.
"It's late, what are you doing in here?"
"Can we talk?"
"You saw it again didn't you? The nightmare?" His silence was answer enough. I sat up, stretching and scooted over. He sat down and laid his head on my shoulder. "Talk to me Ani." I ran my fingers through his sweaty hair, trying my best to comfort him. He's had visions lately and while we all fear them to come true, we try to convince them they are simply bad dreams. He comes to me almost every night, needing reassurance.
"I see the Republic. It falls, I lose Master Obi-Wan, I lose my wife-"
"Wife?"
"I see a women shouting for me with a ring..."
Padme. "Go on." He wraps his arms around me and goes on, we hold each other as he recalls every detail about this vision. I can hear the pain in his tone, and when I look at him, his eyes are bloodshot, he's been crying.
"It's okay Ani. Just sleep." He slowly gets up, "where are you going?"
"My quarters?" He's unsure, I can tell.
I sigh, "Just stay here, in case you see something else."
He laid down, laying his head on my shoulder, and I comforted him until he was asleep. I sighed and cursed myself for caring so much, if it weren't for him keeping me up, I'd be rested and focused .
....
"Adelynn! Wake up!"
"Master Kenobi?"
"Anakin is in trouble. I need your help."
