Chapter 17

Achsah woke up, when she felt the presence at her bedroom door. Sticking her hand out of the covers, she unlocked the bedroom door and telepathic told the person to come inside the room and lock the door.

“ Morning.” Anakin came into the room and locked the door behind him.

“ Morning. Come and lay down beside me.” Achsah opened up her left eye and looked up at Anakin.

Anakin took off his clothes, came over to the bed, climbed under the covers and pulled Achsah close to him. To his surprise, he found her without any clothes on too. Anakin pulled Achsah on top of him and helped her put his very hard member up inside her and then, gently and slowly moved her up and down on him. Achsah leaned forward and began kissing Anakin, so that way, they would not make too much noise, as they made love to each other.

“ I really do need to get back to my room, or at least we need to get dressed. If we are caught together, I can always say that you had a nightmare and I was here to comfort you.” Anakin leaned down and kissed Achsah gently on the lips and moved the strand of hair off her sweaty for head.

“ Ok. In a way, what you are saying is true. I was having a bad dream.” Achsah looked up at Anakin and gave him a smile, before she got up and went to the chair and picked up her night clothes and put them on.

“ I had this feeling that you could not sleep right and that something was bothering you.” Anakin got up, began picking up his clothes and started putting them back on, before going back to the bed and laying back down and pulling Achsah into his arms and held her, as they both fell back to sleep.

Four hours later, down in the kitchen, the three Padawans and Shmi were up and eating bowls of cereals.

“ So, what are you two going to do today?” Shmi looked at Anakin and Achsah.

“ Well, I am hoping to sleep some more, because I really did not sleep to well. I had some bad dreams.” Achsah looked up at the older woman, before putting the spoonful of cereal into her mouth.

“ Ok, and you Annie?” Shmi looked at her son.

“ Well, I was thinking I would sleep also, because I too did not sleep to well.” Anakin reached over to his milk, took the glass and raised it to his mouth and took a sip of it.

“ Ok, that sound like a good plan to me. Did you tell me that your Master will be here soon?” Shmi turned her attention to the other girl that was sitting at the table.

“ Yes, ma’am. Master Tulue will be here soon to take me back to Coruscant and to the Jedi Temple.” Nala looked up from her bowl, to the older lady that was sitting at the table with them.

“ Ok. I'm surprised that you two will not go with your friend here” Shmi looked at the other two Padawans.

“ Master Kenobi said that we could stay here and get to know the Lars.” Anakin finished up his milk and then wiped the milk from his upper lip.

“ What about you, Achsah? Are you going back to the Templ,e with the Nala here?” Shmi turned to Achsah and watched her put another spoonful of cereal into her mouth.

“ Um . . . no, ma’am. My Master told me that I could stay here with Anakin, because at the moment he is on a mission in the Core Worlds and will not be able to get here in two weeks. He asked Obi-Wan to pick me up, when he gets Anakin, because at the moment, he too is away on mission” Achsah put her spoon down in the bowl and then reached out for her glass and took a sip of her milk.

“ Ok, that sounds great to me.” Shmi looked at her son and the girl sitting next to him. She had a feeling that there was something going on with the two of them, but that is their secret and she will keep their secret.

Twenty minutes later, the three Padawans finished their breakfast. They went into the court yard, only practice their combat skills, but to also meditate until Nala’s Master showed up to take her back to the Temple.

“ Master Tulue, it is a pleasure to see again.” Anakin opened up his eyes and sees the Jedi Master walk into the courtyard.

“ Padawan Skywalker, same here. So, are you and Padawan Achsah ready to go with us?” Master Tulue looked at the Padawans and saw that they were meditating.

“ Padawan Achsah and I are to stay here and wait for our Master to come here next week, on their way back from their missions.” Anakin looked up at the Jedi Master and bowed his head.

“ I see. You know that I must ask both Masters, if what you are telling me is true.” the Jedi Master looked at the two Padawans.

“ We understand Master.” Achsah looked at the older man.

Master Tulue did call both Obi-Wan and Benaiah and asked them about what Anakin had told him and if it was true. Sure enough, they told him that what the young man told him was correct that they will come and pick them up, when they head that way. They said goodbye to Nala and her Master, watching the ship take off, then they went back inside had lunch. With help of the Holograms, they joined their history class, before there was a surprise visit from Anakin’s friends from Mos Espa.

Achsah and Anakin were saying good bye to their Science teacher, when Seek, Kister, Wald, Amee and Melee showed up, so that way, Shmi could help them with their studies and also to visit with the two Padawans. Three hours after their friends showed up, they left and the Lars family had a quiet dinner and hung out in the family room. Both Padawans told the other family members what their lives were all about, then it was off to bed, shortly after Cliegg shut down the power.

“ Good night, Achsah.” Anakin came to Achsah’s bedroom and watched Achsah brush her hair.

“ Good night, Anakin. Um. . . could you stay with me tonight?” Achsah looked up at Anakin and he saw fear in her eyes.

“ What happened? I can tell that something has scared you” Anakin came into the room and pulled Achsah into his arms and felt her tremble with fear.

“ Yes, I had a dark vision and it was about my father.” Achsah wrapped her arms around Anakin and began crying.

“ It is ok . . . I am here to help you. Come on, let us go and lay down.” Anakin helped Achsah to the bed and then let her go, so that way, he could pull the covers back, so they could get into the bed.

Once they both were in bed, Anakin pulled Achsah into his arms and held her, until she fell asleep. Then, he closed his eyes and also fell asleep.
