Sacrifice- Anakin's little sister

2

My eyes felt like bricks were placed on top of them. I lay flat on my back on the cold ground. I heard lightsabers clashing together. I opened my eyes slowly and sat up feeling a twinge of pain shoot up. I got up and stood uneasily. I felt for my lightsaber and held it firmly in my hand. I took off after the noise seeing the halls and hangers torn apart. I turned a corner and saw Anakin and Obi-wan battling Grevious. Anakin was knocked back and fell down not moving. Obiwan was being overpowered by the four limbs swinging lighsabers each time getting closer and closer to his head. I lit my lightsaber and attacked from behind and managed to cut off two of his arms in one swing, grabbing another lightsaber and lighting that one as well. I swung at him and he barely deflected a hit with one arm. I managed to cut the one on my side off using the two I had. Obiwan did the same and all of a sudden grevious dropped walking like some freakish spider. He kicked out at Obiwan and I and we both landed with a clash against metal. My lightsabers dropped from my hands and landed with a clank. I struggled to get up and eventually  pulled myself up using the wall. Obiwan was out cold. I grabbed one arm and hoisted him up over my shoulder. I used the force and caught both my and obiwans lightsabers, securing them on my belt and taking off for the escape pods. There was only one left intact. I climbed in setting Obiwan down gently and closing the hatch. I released the hold on the cruiser and we took off towards a planet. I sat next to Obiwan and checked him over. He didn't appear to have many injuries. A few scratches definitely.. No broken bones I hoped. I was a field medic but not a professional. I grabbed his comm unit and took it off his wrist gently and stood up. "Anakin! Ahsoka! Can anyone hear me? This is jedi Knight Kara!" "Kara?!" Echos voice rang through. "echo! Am I ever glad to hear your voice... Im in an escape pod and everything is offline. Master Obiwan is here with me buts out cold. We managed to damage general grevious' body enough for him to flee.." I looked back down at master kenobi. "where is the escape pod headed? Do you know?" "the navigation systems are fried. Communications aren't much better. I can barely pilot this thing." "hang in there. I'll try to triangulation your-" the transmission was cut off abruptly. I jumped into the pilot seat and directed the pod toward a planet that was a dusty olive green in color.

As we entered the atmosphere I pulled up trying to slow us down. I immediately saw thick greenery and giant fungus plants growing all over the planets surface. We made contact roughly with the hard ground and I hit my head slightly against the metal controls as we landed. I sat up and shook my head lightly holding a hand to my forehead. "I am so glad anakin wasn't here to see that landing.." I looked at my hand and saw blood smeared across my fingertips. I brought it up to my forehead again and saw more blood "great." I turned around and placed a hand on master kenobi's shoulder. He was still unconscious and I patted his arm gently. I stood straight again and turned using the force to open the pod hatch. I stepped outside and grabbed a giant green leaf,  laying it over the pod as a form of camouflage.

Turning around again I started to walk away making sure I had my lightsaber at my hip. "this planet looks familiar.." I tapped my chin as I looked from the brush to the sky.  I screech came from right behind me and I turned to see a giant Acklay about to stab me with its forelegs. I dodged just in time to take out my lightsaber. I lit it and sliced out at its leg effectively cutting it off . I jumped up onto it's back and it veered back trying to get me off by bobbing it's head wildly. I looked back at the pod and saw another Acklay moving over to it. I turned and lit my lightsaber cutting clean through its neck and ran back over to the pod doing the same to the other Acklay i ducked underneath the leaf and saw Obiwan staring at me with wide eyes. "Felucia. We're on the blasted planet Felucia." he chuckled at me. "I got that from the Acklays right outside." I kneeled next to him helping him sit up straight. "How are you master? Any injuries?" "a bit of a headache.. But nothing I can't handle Kara." I nodded standing up and offering him a hand. I pulled him up and we walked right outside. "Echo knows we were in the escape pod. The transmission was cut off before he could triangulate our position." I took his communicator out of my belt. "sorry.. I couldnt find mine." he took it from my open hand. "resourceful young one." I nodded a thanks to him. I heard another shriek. "we need to find shelter before nightfall.. Acklays are not patient hunters." we nodded in agreement and set out to find shelter. I jumped easily up into a tree covered area in the hillside. I moved some vines out of the way and looked around the cave. There was an area of runoff where water flowed through. "master?"  he walked through. "I do believe this will serve well as shelter." I nodded. "it's too high up for the Acklays to climb.. Has a fresh water supply and camouflage incase we aren't alone.. We could rest here for the night and go and find a way off this rock tomorrow." I turned to him. "Felucia has a lot of wild fruit and herbs.. I'll try to find some that are edible. Maybe even some medicinal herbs for those cuts and scrapes." I turned and walked out of the cave.  I grabbed onto a branch of the tree and climbed up collecting several big leaves to weave together into baskets. I came back in and tied them together forming a big barrel. "okay master. I'll be back soon." I took off and went to find what I was looking for.

I returned to the cave with a full basket of fruits and an armfull of herbs. Obi-wan had a fire going and I could feel the heat from where I stood. I set down the basket and held the herbs in my hand. I handed him one of the fruits and he bit into it happily. I grabbed a rock from behind me and started crushing the herbs into an ointment to help our wounds heal. I kneeled next to Obi-wan with the ointment all over my palm and I took two fingers and out a bit on them spreading it over his cheek and forehead. I went to wipe it off of my hand when he grabbed my wrist and took some of it away. He moved some of my hair out of the way and smoothed some over my forehead. "where in the blazes did you manage to cut your forhead so badly?" "when we crashed I guess.." I grabbed a fruit from the barrel and bit in. Darkness started closing in around us in the cave and pretty soon the fire was our only sense of light. I sat back against the cool wall and meditated tiredly. It was semi resting but allowed me to stay vigilant of what was around me. I opened one eye and saw Obi-wan sleeping with one hand holding his chin up, his elbow set against his knee. I stretched out and looked at my torn body suit. The armor protecting my chest and abdomen cracked. The suit underneath was ripped in places. No doubtably because of our earlier battle. My gloves and wrist armored bands were covered in dust and mud. My boots were almost the same. I pulled my knees up to my chest and draped my arms over them. I was in a tense position but it comforted me in some way. I lay my head down over my knees and drifted off.
