41-Look Again

2nd Person POV
It's been three weeks since your return and the attack on Anakins life. The Jedi have grown frustrated with their lack of knowledge on the many stressful situations they are facing. There are no leads on General Grievous, no leads on Darth Maul, and no leads on the bombing. And there was news spreading throughout the temple that a receptionist went missing, a girl by the name of Rose. Her family came looking for but Lida/Rey told them she stopped showing up one day and assumed she quit. Of course covering up the fact that she's the one who murdered her.

Rey/Lida has been acting frantic since the news of Rose's disappearance. She told you they were really good friends and only hopes they find her soon and in one piece. You believed her and felt sorry for her for supposedly losing a friend, but of course Anakin never did. His suspicions of her have never faltered even though he has no evidence to harvest the feelings for her he is carrying. He's been trying hard to keep you away from her, constantly pulling you away and keeping you distracted with training. You didn't think much of it, you only thought he wanted to spend time with you and toughen you up so you were prepared for your next mission. Lida/Rey however, knew his true intentions and was growing frustrated with him for keeping you away from her. She needed you, you were the key to her plan and with Anakin getting in the way constantly he was making things more difficult.

Since you've been spending your time with Anakin, you have been completely inseparable since leaving the medical bay. You still haven't told him about the wave of the dark side you felt while on Tatooine, the last thing you wanted to do was to make him worry about you.

You've been training more and learning to telepathically communicate with each other. You've even gotten as far as to be able to communicate from opposite ends of the temple. Both of your goals is to be able to communicate no matter what the distance may be. You only wanted to feel like you were there for each other the whole time, so you can always know when the other is okay.

Obi-Wan has been working tirelessly trying to find the location of Maul, hardly getting any sleep but he's been unsuccessful. That is until today when the temple received a transmission.

(y/n)'s POV
Anakin and I were just pulled into the conference room that only contained Master Plo, and now me, Anakin, and Obi-Wan. We stood around the holotable, confused as to why we were called in here.

"We've received this transmission from Mandalore," Plo spoke up causing the room to go quiet, "It was meant for you Master Kenobi."

Obi-Wan look confused yet concerned. Plo pressed a button the table and there were gasps around the room. One coming from me as well as I looked up on the red figure from Tatooine. "Maul." I mumbled low as I became mesmerized by his appearance, once again like the force was drawing me near him.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi, I can only assume you know I'm alive by now," he began, "All these years my hatred for you has grown, I have been fueled by my need for revenge for what you did to me," He spat, his yellow eyes darkening, he reached over and pulled a woman onto the screen, a beautiful blonde in a dress. Obi-Wan eyes shifted from anger to panic as he looked at the woman,  "If you don't come and face me Kenobi, there will be bloodshed, starting with the duchess." He reached a hand up to grip her face tightly and she gripped his hands to make him let go as he squeezed, causing her pain.

"Obi-Wan don't-" the woman began to speak but Maul tossed her out of the screen in annoyance. We could hear her groan in pain as she landed to the floor.

"Put her with the others Savage," He spoke to someone of screen before turning his eyes back to the room, "I will be waiting Kenobi," He spoke menacingly before his lips twitched up into an evil smile, "And bring that girl, anyone else besides you and her and the duchess dies." The transmission ended and the room had fallen into complete silence.
