^^ Psylor sorry it's taken so long to see him but you needed the others first  ;)

Chapter 9

Dantooine, Jedi Enclave

One month and two weeks after his Return

Pacing in your room, Alek frowns at you from the wall near your door. "You should have heeded Master Zhar."

"I'm aware," you retort barely masking your frustration.

"Then why?" He demands.

"I had to," You respond with a gestured sigh. "You didn't feel it. She was terrified, hurt. When she started calling for me..."

"That's not possible," Alek interjects. 

 "It is," you counter. "For a Master and Apprentice, in rare occasions."

"You are neither to her Jax."

"No, but we were close."

At this Alek openly scoffs knowing full well you two had a history of bitter competition. "We learned everything about each other. I know her nuances, her triggers and she mine. I can predict her intent and she no doubt can mine as well. I swear to you Alek, Ashabellanar was summoning me to her. I felt her. Felt her need for my presence, my skill ...my power."

"Those are dangerous words," Alek warns.

"But true they are," Master Vandar declares causing both of you to jump.

"Master," you both greet.

Nodding Master Vandar continues. "Ashabellanar is strong in the Force. When faced with a perceived danger she summoned her match in battle. And you responded to her in kind," He adds shocking you. "Yes, child you called to her. Master Zhar says she heard your thoughts. She warned him of your departure. Of your intent to protect her." But how...? I didn't mean to project to her. Did I? "But enough of this," Master Vandar continues distracting you from your thoughts. "Ferox has contacted us. Come now you must speak to him."

Eager to speak to him you quickly follow Master Vandar to the Jedi Counsel's chamber. "What do you mean she was taken by Mandalorians?!" You hear Ferox's deep voice boom.

"Peace, Ferox." Master Zhar warns and as you enter you see the Knight glaring in displeasure. "Let us tell you what has transpired." An hour passes as the Jedi Master fill him in and with each moment you can almost taste the anger and frustration emanating off Ferox.

"You must find Peace Ferox," Master Vrook condescendingly childes.

"I must figure out why they took her and deal with this," Ferox venomously counters, unafraid of him. "None of you have experience with my people."

"We are your people." Another Master counters.

"Masters please may I speak with him now, privately." You add sensing it was best to remove the Masters from this conversation.

"I will stay with them," Master Zhar adds, coming to your aid.

Barely waiting for the Masters to leave Ferox levels a harsh gaze your way. "Where were you when this happened Jax?" He harshly demands gaining another chiding from Master Zhar.

"It was I who sent her on her mission alone," Master Zhar states.

"No, he's right," You admit. "I sensed she was withholding something when she departed Master and followed her. I knew there were Mandalorians nearby. She confided in me that she had run into them earlier."
