Miri pov:

I sighed in frustration as yet another Imperial patrol stopped the bus to search it, I looked outside with an air of boredom when I saw Kasana, Light and Tiran come around the corner. I waved and knocked frantically to get their attention, eventually Light noticed me and looked towards Tiran while pointing at me. Tiran followed her finger and said something to the others while he broke into a run, Kasana and Light following close behind. As they boarded the bus the imperial patrol stopped them then waved them on almost instantly. Light came over and I saw Tiran and Kasana take a spare seat a few rows down while Light waved and sat down behind them.

2 and three quarters of an hour later, Math class

I glanced back over my shoulder towards Kasana and Light who were working on a quadrilateral problem and I sighed and turned back to my own work. Geography was not my best subject, especially as the Empire had alerted astronomers and schools to the presence of another galaxy outside of the Milky Way and it's surrounds. I half turned around to whisper at Kasana but the whisper died in my throat. Inquisitor. And Miri. I swallowed hard and nudged Kasana and Light, they both turned a question on their faces that soon turned to horror upon seeing Miri. "I have a few questions for your class. Specifically Tiran, Kasana and..." She turned to Miri, "Light." Miri pointed to Light and I felt her stiffen under the Inquisitor's supposed gaze. "You three come with me." The Inquisitor pointed to Kasana, Light and me, before walking out into the corridor. I nervously got up and glanced at Light and Kasana before following the inquisitor out. The inquisitor kept walking until we got to the lunch tables. "Sit." I complied shoving old snickers wrappers out of the way to make room for Light and Kasana. The Inquisitor motioned for Miri to sit down on the seat beside her. "I am the Second Sister of the band of Inquisitor's. And this," She gestured to Miri, "...Is my new apprentice." Dead silence followed the Inquisitor's statement. I glanced over at Miri, her face was devoid of any emotion as she spoke. "My new mentor," Miri gestured to the Second Sister, "Has found that I am force sensitive. As such, she has very willingly and graciously  decided to train me. However, I need your help. As sometimes I will be training during class time, I still would like to complete my schooling. You three are all in my classes, and I was wondering if you could possibly give me what you've learnt that day so I can study it later." Miri finished looking expectantly at us. Light spoke first, "So you won't actually BE AT SCHOOL at all?" Light finished, hurt in her voice looking downcast. I put my arm around her and comforted her. "It's all right, you can still see her when we give her what we've learnt for the day." I looked back at Miri and gave her a small nod. I turned back to the Second Sister. "Are we free to leave to go back to class, we were sort of studying for tomorrow's exam." 

Can you hear me? I thought. Kasana appeared in my mind followed by Light. What is it? What happened? I thought back to our conversation earlier with the Second Sister. With Miri Force sensitive as well as a trained Force user working against us, we need to block out our Force signature. We need Aayla to train us, before it's too late. 

Miri pov:

As I followed my mentor out of the classroom I felt a sense of elation at being a force user. I was worried about Light though, we had been friends since I was 4, and I was going to leave her to become better at the force, not a bad thing, but something she might take badly. At least if they agreed to my proposition then I would see her in the evening to collect what we had learned about. I felt something weird through the force for an instant and I looked back to see Tiran nervously coming along. Kasana also looked skittish and kept glancing back over her shoulder as if she was expecting an ambush. Light just looked worried about something, anxiously looking at me, burning question's in her eyes. Are you in trouble? Do you need our help? What happened?
