Alatary was happy when she landed with the x-wing, she was so tired and quite unable to get off from it, but someway she manage.

«Padawan.» Obi-Wan approached her. «Come, I will help you.»

For once, Aladay acepted the help from Obi-Wan.

«I am sorry, commander.» Engled said approaching her too. «General, let me help her.»

«It's fine.» She smiled to Engled, but she nodded. «Thanks, Master I will be fine, don't worry. He will take care of me, and I think that Senator Organa needs to know that they are safe.» She remained silent for a bit. «And remember that the Separatist ship is waiting for a move from us.»

Obi-Wan smiled. «Engled, I entrust her to you.» He just said before leaving the two alone.

Alatary looked her Master leaving the hangar, she was so sad because she couldn't help him, she was too weak, but Engled's life was so important to her.

«Let's go to your room, commander.» Engled hesitated a bit. «May I ask you something, sir?»

«Of course you can.» She answered leaning completely on the clone. She knew that it wasn't only the healing that was giving her problems, but the connection with the person drained energy from her. 

«Why did you save me? I am just a clone and you met us just few days ago.»

She discovered that it was harder than she thougt to walk. «Yes I met you less than a week ago, but you look so familiar to  me.»

«I don't understand we are all the same.»

«Apparently yes, but not if I look at you through the Force: you are so different.» She pointed a door. «I am sleeping with my Master, so you can take me there.»

«Yes, sir.»

«But I didn't answer to your question, not complitely. In the Force, even you clones, I feel you like my brothers and your life metters a lot to me. The Force didn't want your death, so I just followed her will.»

«The Force has a will?» He asked opening the door.

«Yes, she has. I can understand that for you could be difficult to understand. The Force is a energy that connect all us, me you, Master Kenobi and the resto of the universe.» She sat on the bed closing her eyes. «If you want to go back to your duty, I can do all alone now.»

Engled thought at her words about the Force: no he couldn't understand, but he shook his head. «General Kenobi told me to stay with you.»

«So take a sit, Engeld, right?»

«Yes, sir.»

«It's strange to be called sir from all of you.» Alatary removed her boots to sit more comfortable on the bed. 

«Why? I saw you fighting and you derserve that title.»

«Thanks.» She bowed her head. «I think it's better I try to sleep a bit, if you don't mind; and if you have other questions about the Force or the Jedis, just ask, I will be happy to answer.»

«Yes, sir.» He moved to the door. «I will be out there if you need something.»

«Thanks Engeld.» She smiled him, but he became worried when he left her alone. Normally she liked to be alone, but not now, not with this voice coming to her everytime she felt asleep. Luckly this time the allarm went off. She was ready to jump off from the bed, but the ship was hit and she felt on the ground hitting hard the floor. «What...»

«Commader.» Engeld entered the room hearing the sounds coming from inside. 

«I am ok. I think that the Separatist ship decided what to do with us. Now you go, Cody might need you.»

«Yes, sir.»

«And Engeld, come back, I like you.» She smiled, but she didn't let the time to answer, she run to reach Obi-Wan. «Master.»

«You stay here, I need your eyes.»

«Yes, Master.» She wasn't happy at all to stay on board, but she understood what Kenobi wanted from her. «May the Force be with you, Master.»
