Are We Meant To Be? *2nd book of the Other Half Trilogy*

~ Ch. 51 ~

                   Acarna's POV

    I booked it out of their as fast as I could. I knew we should've never come here! It was risky and I was right all along! I should've just told Uncle Lux about the danger! Or Anakin, he never would've let us try and get this 'thing'!! Whatever the hell it is we don't need it!! All of a sudden I felt two sets of hands grab me and that's when I lost it.

    "NO!! I WON'T GO BACK!! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!! LET ME GO!! I WON'T GO BACK!! MASTER I NEED YOU!!!!!!!!" I screamed so loud, I swear the people on the closest planet could've heard me. I didn't realize till it was too late, that I unblocked my Force signature and, from hiding it so long, it would send a signal to every Force user. No matter how far away they are, anyone could've felt it. I dropped to my knees and finally regained my senses. I could hear two people calling my name, trying to get my attention but, I just couldn't look at them. 'I just put their lives in danger' was the one thought that kept running through my mind. In a matter of seconds, I felt comforting waves sent to me through the Force. I finally looked up and saw Ezra, who was sending the waves, and Zeb, who was looking at me with concern and nudged Ezra to get his attention. Ezra smiled at me with relief and they both hugged me.

    "Acarna........it's okay.......no ones trying to harm you. What's wrong?" Ezra asked. Guess I have to explain everything now. I took a deep breathe and stood up, regaining my composure. "It's time the truth comes out. It's time to explain." I said and the three of us walked back inside to the others. Once we reached them I got their attention by whistling.

    "What I am about to tell you is top secret. Known only to a select few Sith. The top 3 of my generation Sith, aka, me, Zalaan, and Dargeo. My Master Starkiller had the three of us learn a very long lost language. This language is called 'Nerian'. It was used as the first language of the Sith and the Jedi, until it evolved. This language.....this Temple.....it is Nerian. Yes, I can translate.........and you won't like what it says." I informed them, stopping so that it would sink in. One serious look between Luke, Hera, and Kanan, was all it took for the others to agree and all eyes were on me once again. "Please translate Acarna." Ezra asked me. I turned to the text and began to read it. I read it twice in my head and then read it aloud.

    "Beware, those that enter. The Temple of the Force is not to be taken lightly. These Force Trials will put you to your limits. Friendships and loyalty will be tested. Darkness or the Light? Which shall you be? The real question is, who will survive." I finished translating. "There's more but, thanks to the elements of nature, it's worn and I can't make out what it says." I told them.

    "The Force Trails? Must be the first Jedi Trails. Must be like the Kyber crystal trial." Kanan stated. "Sounds like only Sith and Jedi are allowed to travel further." Sabine said. "So what are the rest of us supposed ta do? Just sit around till you guys get back?" Zeb asked. "Yeah, pretty much. Let's get going!" Ezra said, excitedly and ran further in. "Wait! Ezra!" Kanan said, running in after him. I followed them and Neveah and Luke following close behind.

                Starkiller's POV

    'MASTER I NEED YOU!!' is what I heard through my bond with Acarna. "Mistress!! I know where Princess Acarna is!" I rushed to Mistress Ahsoka and kneeled before her.

    "What?! Where is she!? Is she alright?!" Mistress Ahsoka asked me, motioning for me to stand. I then realized that Kasto, Midux, Diwos, Talon, and Kylo Ren were also in the room. "Her Force signature was hidden and it's finally free. With our Master and Apprentice bond, it's only natural for me to still be able to sense her. I have tracked her signature to the deserted planet of Shikarai. From the way that her distress level was, she must be in danger. Mistress, let me go to her and bring her back." I explained to Mistress Ahsoka.

    "No, you can't leave. You are needed here Starkiller. I shall send the Knights of Ren. Kylo, send your best men and bring back my Daughter. It is possible that she is also with her brother. Bring them back here! This is an order." Mistress Ahsoka instructed Kylo, who bowed to her and left.

    "Mistress? Is it wise to send the Rens? Acarna has always resented the Rens. I'm sure that she wouldn't come willingly with them." I said to Mistress Ahsoka. "She will come with them. You forget, Starkiller, she has always been very close with him. He is the only Ren that will be needed and Kylo knows that." Mistress Ahsoka said, turning to Kasto and the others as she was planning attacks on known Rebel basses. "Please, Starkiller, go see that Zalaan, Dargeo, and Acarna's Apprentice Bariss are honing their skills." Mistress Ahsoka said. I bowed and left them to plan our next attack.

[ So, the truth is out!! Remember these next few chapters will vary in length!! Like I stated in the last one =)

    What will take place during these so called 'Force Trails'?? Did Acarna translate everything?? Or did she purposely leave somethings out?! Which Ren is Kylo going to send to fetch Acarna and Ezra??!!

Spector 7 out!!!!!!!!

P.S -- I completely forgot that the Sith are 'Apprentice' and not 'Padawan' that's the Jedi. XD I'll go back and fix those chapters where I wrote them =) ]
