New Beginnings

Chapter 19: Going Back

Maya POV

The next morning I woke up in the bed and looked around the room, where was I?  I couldn't remember, it wasn't the temple that's for sure.  Oh gosh.  I had no idea where I was and when I moved around in the bed too fast I fell out of it!

"Ouch!"  I got up from the floor. It seemed as if that jolt was exactly what I needed as I then realised where I was; I was at my parents home.  Once I was dressed I walked out of the room and went to the kitchen. Mom, dad and Anakin were sitting at the table and they were talking.

"Morning."  I greeted.

"Morning Maya."  My parents replied and I sat down beside Anakin.

"How did you sleep?"  He asked.

"Pretty good I guess. When are you going to leave?"  I asked saddened at the thought of not being around him.

"I have to leave now."  I nodded my head slowly.

"Oh.... Ok then."

It was then I began to rethink my decision to stay, I mean how would I cope without Anakin to keep me company and what would I do if I could learn more about using the Force? I don't know If I should stay with my parents or go back with Anakin. I just found my parents and I'll be leaving them if I go back with Anakin and I don't know if being a Jedi is where I belong. I need to think what I should do before Anakin goes. Should I stay here with my parents or go back to the temple with Anakin?

"Goodbye Mr and Mrs Plantshock thank you for having me."

'Goodbye Master Skywalker, you're welcome and it was nice meeting you.'

"You too."  He replied. I was thinking thinking of what I should do, I didn't have much time. Anakin walked over to me.

"Bye Anakin."

"Bye Maya, take care of yourself ok?"

"Ok Skywalker."  I said giving a small smile, I then hugged him tightly. "I'll miss you Skywalker."

"I'll miss you too kid."  We broke the hug. "I better get going."

"Ok Anakin."

He turned around and was about to walk away, but he turned and looked at me one last time. "Oh and Maya. Try not to get into any trouble."  I smiled.

"I'll try not to Anakin."  He smiled back and walked away. That was when I realised the truth. I can't stay here I need to go back. I looked at mom and dad.

"I'm sorry but I can't stay here, I have to go back , my place is in the Jedi temple. I'm sorry."

"It's ok dear, we understand that."  Mom said. I looked at them in surprise, they were actually letting me go?

"So your ok with me going back with Anakin?"

"Yes."  I smiled.

"Thank you."  I hugged them.  "I promise I'll come and visit when ever I can."

"Ok Maya dear, but go before your master leaves without you."

"Ok. Bye!"

"Bye Maya."  I turned around and started running, trying desperately to catch up with Anakin.

"Anakin!"  He turned around and saw me.

"Maya?"  He asked as I caught up and stopped running, panting harshly as I was out of breath.

"Maya what are you doing? You should be back there with your parents."

I shook my head.  "No, I'm not staying with my parents I'm going back with you Anakin. I not going to give up the Jedi life."
