Star wars: a mirrored life (legacy book 1)

Chapter 8: the forseen

Valerie sat up in the med bay wondering what she was doing her. Across the white coloured panel room she saw a tall cloaked figure.

"What's going on" Valerie questioned the figure

It ignored her.

"Um. Excuse me!" Valerie said.

There was still no reply. So Valerie got off the hard bench she was lying on and walked over to the figure. She reached over to tap the figure on the shoulder but the moment she touched the dark figure that cloak that it was wearing fell to the floor revealing that there was no one there.

"What?" Valerie exclaimed.

Valerie's eyes quickly darted around the room she spied a door, which in normal Valerie fashion she quickly ran out of. This door lead to a large hall with dark walls, the walls where covered in blaster marks. It looked like it had been abandoned for years.

Suddenly Valerie realised where she was... This wasn't any place. It was the Jedi temple.

"But how? Where are all the people? Was there a battle?" Valerie said, almost collapsing from shock.

Valerie ran down the hall, analysing all the marks; she could almost hear the screams of long dead jedi. But there where no bodies. Only nothingness. Loneliness. Death.

The lights did not work and the windows where shattered and blocked out. It was as if nobody cared any longer.

She decided to run to her meditation garden- her meditation garden was her favourite place- she opened the door and to her dismay the plants had died. The room filled with darkness and shattered glass. The walls where bare and scarred with blaster marks.

"This is terrible. I have to get away." She exclaimed- frightened and brought to tears with her new found tragedy.

Valerie ran ignoring the graffiti that yelled death threats at the Jedi order. Mocking their lives. She ran to the main entrance. She didn't care where she went she just had to get out of here.

Suddenly she stopped. In the doorway of the main entrance was a dark cloaked figure- the same one she saw on Korriban.

"Your destiny is forever tied to the empire. The darkness is coming. Beware order 66 for the chosen one will betray you." The figure warned.

"What empire? What is order 66?" Valerie yelled.

It was no use suddenly everything went black.

Valerie woke to find her master, lornetta, looking down on her. She could see that she was in a med bay.

"Master..." Valerie tried to speak, but she didn't seem to have the will.

"It's ok Valerie. You are in the temple now, you are safe." Lornetta assured her padawan.

"No master. I am not ok. We are not safe... The empire is coming... 66... The... The chosen one.... Betray..." Valerie tried to say but just could not find the words or the strength.

"What empire?" Lornetta interrogated.

"The sith empire? But they where destroyed long ago." Techla added in, she had been sitting across the room the entire time.

"Order... 66... Darkness..." Valerie said as she drifted off to sleep.

"Order 66? Darkness? The chosen one? Betrayal? The sith empire? Valerie I must know what you mean!" Lornetta ordered, but it was no use because Valerie was no longer conscious.

"We should ask her about her supposed vision when she awakes." Techla hinted.

"And we should tell the council." Lornetta continued.

"Could the sith empire really return? This would be tragic. We are currently at war with the seperatists, we cannot risk having another war." Techla stated.
