I always feel like Somebody's watching me!
Entering the monastery, it seemed less creepy in the TV show, but now, I get why Rex said he was creeped out by the place. There were statues lined up all the way down the fortress and the faces on them scared the hell out of me. They looked as if they were burning their eyes into my soul. I felt a shiver run down my spine, but I continued to walk further into the monastery, I was ahead a little bit of Rex, but I was still behind Ahsoka and Anakin.
I was expecting to hear a droid's voice when we came to a stop. But instead, I heard a woman's voice, which confused, yet scared me, even more.
"Thank you..thank you for saving me." I looked back at Rex, giving him an eyebrow while he shrugged his shoulders, being just as confused as I was. I walked up beside Ahsoka and Anakin and this is the part where I had a "WTF?!" moment.
The woman standing in front of us looked a lot like Scarlet Witch from the MCU, you know, Elizabeth Olsen look and all, except she had black hair, her skin was a tan color but kind of pale, and her eyes were caramel color. She looked sick and scared, but something was off about her.
"Who are you?" Anakin asked, going for his lightsaber, probably thinking she was trouble. "My name is Violet. Violet Grant. I was held hostage here."
Wait, what? What were the droids doing holding Jabba's son AND this girl hostage? From her knowledge it was only the son.
"Um..Anakin? Can I..speak with you, please?" I asked, glancing at Anakin for a split second, seeing him nod and we both walked to the side, Rex and Ahsoka joining us too, maybe wanting to know what's going on.
"Something's not right.." I said, crossing my arms and looking at the girl, Violet, suspiciously. "She's not suppose to be here."
"What do you mean?" Anakin asked, while I looked back at him. "I mean, back home, instead of that girl, there was a droid. There was never a girl that greeted you at the entrance. Either she's working with Ventress, or the person working with Ventress is using that girl as a decoy. Either way, someone's messing with the timeline."
"Decoy? Timeline? I'm sorry, you're gonna have to back up a bit. What are you talking about?" Anakin asked as I looked at Ahsoka and Rex, I couldnt really tell if Rex was confused, but I somewhat saw it in Ahsoka's face though. "When I came here through the portal seven months ago, either myself or the boy you mentioned messed with the timeline. Adding and replacing people and things that were never meant to be there. Like her."
"So what do we do?" Ahsoka asked, looking from her to the girl. "We proceed with caution. If she is who she says she is, then we protect her. If not, we restrain her and find out what the Separatist plan to do with Jabba's son." I suggested, Anakin looking to the girl and then back at me.
"Okay, Rex, you and Kayla stay with the girl and watch her. If she does something out of the ordinary, you know what you have to do. Ahsoka and I will look for the son. Got it?"
"Copy that, sir." Rex replied, walking off. "Kayla? You okay with that?" I nodded, gesturing for them to go. "Go on. We got this." ---
I watched from afar at the girl. She sat near the entrance and looked as if she was meditating and I felt curious. I approached her with caution, trying not to scare her, but also in case she tries to attack me.
"Hey.."
She opened her eyes, and for a moment, I saw green glow in her eyes and then disappear to her normal caramel eyes and she looked up, a surprised look on her face when she did.
"Oh, hello.." She greeted, while I rose an eyebrow. She looked down for a moment before a saddened expression appeared on her face. "I know you don't trust me..but, I just want you to know that I was held here against my will. I'm not a decoy."
I furrowed my eyebrows and she quickly held up her hand. "I can read minds! Its not what you think!" I moved my hand slightly away from my lightsaber and I gazed upon her a moment, trying to take in any deception I was seeing. But I wasn't seeing any. Maybe she was telling the truth, maybe she's a good liar, I wasn't sure. But I excused myself and walked away, leaving the girl by herself. ---
Makayla Ames.
She's the girl that went missing back home. How is she here? Did she get trapped here too?
No way. You're probably still dreaming, Vi. There's no way you're trapped here. No way. But..why can't I wake up? I pinched myself so many times to make sure I wasn't dreaming and I felt it.
I've never known a dream to trap you in your conscious. I don't know, but I have to gain her trust and Anakin's. Basically everyone here. Who would have thought me of all people would end up here?
But if I'm here, what would my mom think? What would Hailey think? What would my friends think? Do they think I'm dead?
There's too many questions in my mind right now. I watched Makayla walk away and I sighed, closing my eyes again and trying my best to try and wake up home.
"I know who you are..." I heard, I opened my eyes, but I saw a dark emptiness. I looked around, not seeing anyone, but I recognized the voice all too well.
"Where are you, Sidious? Show yourself! I'm not afraid!" I exclaimed, clutching my fists. Out of nowhere, I felt something grab my throat and I began to rise from off the ground, choking.
"You should be.." I heard once more, looking down and now, I finally saw Darth Sidious in view and he had his hood up, but I recognized him for his wrinkled fingers.
"You don't scare me."
"You can be tough all you want, child, but it won't help you against a Sith Lord!" I felt a shock run through me and I realized then that Sidious was using his lightning on me and it hurts like hell.
I have to find a way to get to Makayla. She's the only one that can help me right now.
