Star Wars: Revenge of the Lost Order

Ch. 2 - The Meetings

  Back at the temple, Jedi masters gathered amongst themselves as they waited for the meeting to start. Ryn crept around the corners of the hall, doing her best to avoid people she didn't know. The meeting was about to start, though she wasn't invited.

"Ryn" Anakin called out. "Do you have a moment?"

Anakin sprinted over to Ryn's side, she had stopped in her tracks to turn to him.

"Sure" She began

Anakin stopped beside her and looked around, "can we talk in private?"

Ryn looked around him confused. She was unsure who he was looking for but it was obvious he wanted nobody to overhear what he had to say. Reluctantly she agreed. He held her shoulder and pulled her into a conference room, closing the door. Ryn walked around the room inspecting it. She turned back around to face Anakin, who was now pacing back and forth.

She walked to him and grabbed his shoulder "Are you alright?"

"What I tell you here, you can't tell anyone," he said

Ryn nodded

"Not even Obi-Wan"

Ryn nodded again

"Nobody"

"Anakin" Ryn said "I won't tell anyone"

Anakin nodded and stopped pacing. He breathed in.

"Padme's pregnant..... I'm the father"

"Oh..." Ryn breathed "and you're telling me this because-"

"You're close to both me and Padme. I need you to promise me that if anything happens, you'll be there to help"

Ryn stepped back. "Wait- but Obi-Wan is close-"

"We can't tell Obi-Wan-" He interrupted

"Because he's on the council"

"Yes"

"But why are you asking me...."

"It's just that..." Anakin started to pace again

"When the baby comes things are going to change...,. Things will become more difficult. We need you to- "

"I understand"

Anakin nodded and breathed in again.

"Is there something else?" Ryn asked

He nodded.

"The Chancellor wants to appoint me the Rank of Master and be his representative on the council"

"Oh"

"Yeah"

Ryn nodded and stepped back. She began to pace with Anakin.

"Things are beginning to get more difficult already." She stated

Anakin nodded.

"I'm going to inform the council today. I don't think they will take it well"

She stopped.

"Oh dear"

Before either one could resume their conversation the door to the room swung open. On the other side stood Obi-Wan, his hands on his hip. He walked in upon seeing the two of them.

"There you are, Anakin" He stated "The meeting is about to begin"

He looked behind Anakin to Ryn, then looked back to Anakin.
