The wild animals had been pushed toward us. The Acklays had been set upon Obi Wan and Maven, who seemed as unamused as the green, screeching animals. The Rancor was headed for Anakin, the Nexu for Padme, and the Reek for me. Desire could be seen in my eyes. My lips parted and my eyes almost seemed to fall out.
"Just relax." Obi Wan shouted over the din of the wing-beating Geonosians to calm us down. "Concentrate." "Oh, I feel so relaxed right now. You don't even know." Maven replied him sarcastically to which Obi Wan gave him an annoyed look.
"What about Padme?" I then asked the other three slightly panicked as Obi Wan,Maven and Anakin glanced over towards the girl. "She seems to be on top of things." Maven then answered me with a proud smirk before he looked forward again.
I furrowed my brows in confusion before my gaze fell from the others to my girlfriend, who had managed to pull herself to the top of the pole. With one last blow and her leg she squatted down. That's my girl, I thought with an impressed smile. So I didn't notice that the Acklays started to strike and Obi-Wan and Maven just managed to dodge.
Skillfully they held out their handcuffs so that the animals aimed their legs at the connection with the chains and Obi Wan and Maven were free. What had not escaped my attention was that Anakin jumped onto the pillar with his Jedi leap.
I threw myself around just in time to see the Reek attack. I tried to pull the chains, but it was absolutely useless. My only way to escape the Reek and get rid of the chains, or at least use them the way I want, was to use the Force.
Just as the Reek attacked me, a reflex made me jump steeply into the air, and the beast crashed into the pillar below me. I immediately recognized my chance, dropped onto the back of the beast and wrapped the chain around the horn.
The Reek bucked and snapped the chain off the pillar, and then we went on a rampage through the arena. The crowd cried out, clapped, and some yelled indignantly. The Reek below me didn't like that at all.
He bucked and tried to get me off his back, but it didn't work. I pulled on the chains, turned in a direction away from Maven, Padme, Anakin and Obi Wan. It was hard to ride a Reek and try to tame it when it was trained to fight.
With full force he increased his speed and ran into a wall of the arena. The dust swirled up and I struggled to hold on, but it didn't work. I fell off the back of the Reek and rolled across the floor. After I stood up, I put my hand on the Reek's skin and closed my eyes.
I let the power glide through his body and concentrated only on him, blocking out everything else. But with such an animal, which lives here all its life, this did not bring very much. "It's okay." I whispered soothingly to the animal. "I'm not here to hurt you."
When I heard how the animal was calming down, I opened my eyes again and ended the connection with the Reek. Then I jumped on the back of the animal again, hit the head of the Reek with the free end of the chain, the angry animal snatched at it in its anger and involuntarily gave me something like a halter.
