Finding Rayna

The Rose Garden

It is now 1:00 and Jedi training with Master Luke is officially over. Guess who didn't show up again? Ben! I swear that boy can never be on time for the death of him. I hope he's okay and not sick or anything. I guess I that he's probably sleep and I don't want to wake him, so I decided that I would just let my mom know that i'll be back in about an hour or so. Then after I went to notify my mother, I'd figured that I'd to the rose garden that was located about a mile away from the training compound. We're actually not supposed to leave the compound unless accompanied by an adult, but I just couldn't help myself. It's my safe haven for whenever I need a break from Jedi training, or just life itself. Only Ben and I know about this place.

At the garden

Once I arrived at the garden, I took off my shoes and Jedi robes and began to run in the field of roses. I got tired after running for a minute (boy Jedi training must've worn me out) and I just lied in the field of roses for about 5 minutes to catch my breath. After I regained control of my breath I figured I start practicing what Master Luke taught us. I practiced for about 30 minutes to an hour, by that time I was dripping with sweat and completely worn out. I began to leave the garden until I felt an unfamiliar presence. 

Who's there? I asked. Then I heard that terrible laugh that could only belong to one person. Rafiki.

How'd you find me Rafiki?

The more important question Rayna should be why are you out here?

I feel as if that's none of you're concern, so if you'll excuse me I'll just be on my merry little way. I purposely bumped his shoulder as I was almost out of the garden until I my body couldn't move by itself and I felt myself being lifted up in the air. Damn It! I said, Rafiki must be using the force on me.

Rafiki, put me down!

I see that your little boyfriend isn't here, he can't protect you now!

Ben isn't my boyfriend Rafiki, he's just my friend now put me down!

That's right, because I am!

Ben's not my boyfriend and neither are you!

What did you just say to me?

I can tell I really must've stuck a nerve. Suddenly I felt myself being released from the force and in a blink of an eye I felt a large hand come across my face. HE JUST SLAPPED ME! Next thing all I knew was that I was pissed, I was furious and all I saw was red.

Rafiki! I yelled as I charged at him. You'll pay for this! Then I brought out my purple lightsaber and he his yellow one and so the fighting began.

We fought for about 10 minutes to which I had the upper hand. Then something in my conscience told me is this what Master Luke would want me to do? Master Luke always told us this quote from his previous master Yoda said  "Anger leads to hate, Hate leads to suffering." I realized that this would be what my life could possibly be leading to if I didn't stop soon enough. I retracted my lightsaber immediately and told Rakiki what Yoda said  "Anger leads to hate, Hate leads to suffering." A true jedi knows when to be the bigger person Rafiki, and I not let someone like you deter me from becoming a Jedi. Once I was finished with my little soliloquy, I turned around to go home and in that time Rafari had already gotten up and drew his lightsaber across my face and kicked me to the ground.

Now you'll be ugly enough that nobody will want you! Remember my dear Rayna, tell anyone and I will kill you!

He left me there for about an hour until I faded out of consciousness waiting for either Ben or somebody to come and find me.
