Death of the Sith

Chapter 28: Jill Cantrell

When the three arrived, General Davis had a transport ready for them. When they got to the hospital, someone introduced them to a Jedi healer, Master Jedi Canji Formur. She was the best the Jedi had in healing people like her. Lucky for Jill Cantrell, she was on Earth.

She told them, "It is very fortunate the two of you showed up when you did. Jill just had a heart attack. I'll need your two to help me in using the Force to heal her from this predicament. I can take it from there to heal her type of neuromuscular disease."

Canji was not only a Jedi Knight but a blue skin Twi'lek, but an ancient and wise one with a special ability — not only to learn to speak other languages but to speak it in a way — she was born and raised. She could also adapt to all the customs and ways of the people she was around. Other Jedi did not know if it was for the Force or from her.

Four of them went to Jill's bedside. A nurse said she was stable. "I'm very relieved that you are here to help her now rather than later."

With a grateful nod to the nurse, Canji declared, "We appreciate your assistance. Now, if you'll allow us to focus, we can begin Jill's treatment." Wasting no time, she channeled the Force, and the other Jedi instinctively followed suit. Almost instantly, Jill's erratic heartbeat steadied, growing stronger with each passing moment. With her vital functions restored, Canji honed the Force to mend Jill's neuromuscular condition, while the others addressed the emotional scars that plagued her. After an intense hour and a half, Canji announced, "The healing is done. Jill's body needs time to adapt, especially her muscles. A full recovery will be a long road, but the disease is eradicated."

They stayed with her all night. The next morning she woke up. When she opened her eyes and looked around, she gave an enormous smile when she saw them all. In return, they smiled back.

"I thought I would die before seeing you three."

They all gave her an enormous hug.

Brandon smiled, "Jill, not only are you alive but healed from your disease."

Jill cried for joy because of her excitement. "I didn't think that was possible."

Sam replied, "With the Force, anything is possible."

Nomi noticed Jill suddenly became exhausted. "Take it easy. Your body must readjust to all it has been through. We aren't going anywhere so get your rest."

Before she could say anything, she fell asleep. Beth Andrews came up to them. "Grand Master Jedi of Earth, I was the one that talked to the General earlier."

Sam turned to face her. She smiled, "It's good to see you. Jill is doing great. Just needs more rest."

Beth replied in the joyous manner possible, "Thank you for doing that for her. She's so full of life. Those news clippings, she has saved, did wonders for her. Let me show you her room and some of what she had saved."

Brandon replied, "You two go on ahead. I want to stay with Jill a little more." When he was helping Master Canji Formur, he sensed something unique about her. What he sensed was that she had a special ability to use the Force with no one knowing about it. Not only did she have this special ability to hide but powerful enough to use the Force with no training.

He was not sure if she knew she could use the Force when she helped him in his last dream. He was also very concerned if Palpatine knew that she helped him and what is in store for her. He wanted to be there for her in case she needed him. "Jill, you will not be a sacrifice for anyone. Your life is now as it should be."

After a few hours, Nomi came into the room. When Nomi came to her husband's side, she whispered, "I thought you would be asleep yourself."

"To be honest, it frightens me to do so for Jill's sake."
