chapters 47

Waneta was currently flying a modified Kom'rk-class fighter that was fitted with different weapons and features than the original. Instead of two laser cannons it was replaced with two 30mm MLA cannons in the front and the rear as well as multiple Medusa missiles.

To add to this the ship also had cloaking and reinforced armor to withstand even more attacks. The one thing that waneta wish was possible was that the ship would be able to use slipspace. Instead it was still using a hyperdrive but she was grateful that the speed was faster than even some of the military grade ships.

Currently she was in hyperspace heading towards Coruscant where she would meet up with a few agents that have been undercover prior to the war. Once there she would use the spy network that they had created and slowly look for potential Jedi that would side with them.

After hours of being in hyperspace the ship finally makes it to Coruscant but what she sees is just the dark empty space. There wasn't a planet or ship in sight.

Looking around confused she checks where she was again. "This is the coordinates. I should be exactly near Coruscant. This doesn't make sense. This hasn't ever happened to me."

Seconds later the power to the ship goes out. Everything on the ship had also went offline making them useless.

Quickly standing up waneta starts to freak out a little. "What the hell is going on. Someone or something has to be doing this."

Checking to see if the controls were indeed dead she glances up to see an enormous triangular object appear in front of her out of nowhere. She didn't have time to comment on the object before it started to pull her ship towards it.

"Things just keep getting better." She mutters to herself as she watches the ship take pull her towards it without her being able to do nothing about it.

As she got closer a part of the weird ship opened as a blinding white light started to engulf her as she entered. The more closer she got to it the more it started to blind her and pretty soon her entire vision was just a blinding light.

Once the blinding light fades away waneta can be seen knocked out over the controls before slowly waking up. Rubbing her head she looks around confused but also awed at what she was seeing. She didn't know how the ship had landed but it landed directly in a middle of a field where it was full of life and lush forests.

Seeing that the ship wouldn't be working for a while she gets off and look around very interested in what she was seeing.

"What is this place?"

"You're on mortis now. It seems he finally found you." A voice says in her head.

Recognizing that voice she puts her guard up. "How are you still in my head. And you still didn't tell me who you are!"

"There is no need to be so defensive waneta. Whether you like it or not you're related to me." The voice says almost daring her to deny it.

"I don't even know you. You won't even tell me your name, so how can I believe you?"

The woman that was talking in her head suddenly starts to laugh which was creeping waneta out. Their last encounter on Zeridian was already creepy enough already. It was not every day that some random woman if she was one would talk in her head and say that she was her mother. All while playing around with her memories of her dead friends.

But for some reason it felt like this woman was actually telling the truth about being her mother. She wanted to say that it was a lie but the more this woman talked the more she was filled with curiosity about her and a deep sense of longing for her. It almost felt like she was being drawn towards her and she didn't exactly know why.

"You know exactly who I am. So why are you lying to yourself waneta. Isn't this what you always wanted? A family. Because I am all that you will need. It's why I created you."

Waneta takes a staggering step back. She didn't know if she should laugh, cry, smile or just be angry about this. Was she going crazy. Had she finally lost it. Was all of this even real. This was just to much for her to process.

"Tha-Than why now? Why show up now when I was left to defend all by myself? All my life I thought my parents were either dead or just didn't want me. Did you abandon me?" Waneta says in a voice that almost seemed lost.

A loud hissing noise rings in her head and for a second she thought she had made her angry which she was. But not at her.

"I had no choice but to leave you on your own. They would have taken you away from me and cut my only way of communication with you if they found out about you." She says with such anger that waneta felt that she was standing right next to her with the waves of raw emotion that was rolling down her.

"You're my daughter, so I know you would fair right against anything in your way. But know right now waneta. I only did it to keep you safe and I will make it where I will be the only person you need in your life. I won't anyone take the last person I have left from me."

Waneta shakes her head in disbelief. "Your crazy if you think I will look at you like that. I don't need anyone to lean on. Not like the way your saying it."

Laughing even more waneta could imagine that smile she made when she left her on Zeridian. "Oh, but you will. You will one day Waneta. I've already foreseen it."

"And one last thing. Do not trust them waneta. They only want to take you away from me, so they can use you against me."

"Who are you talking about? She responded back but she was met with only silence.

Growing frustrated she uses the force to knock down a tree. Calming down it's than that she noticed that the tree was blue and all of it's leaves were gone. It looked as if it was dead.

Looking around again the green grass and color atmosphere was all gone. It was completely dark with everything looking like it was dead. But even than it still had it's own beauty.

Noth bothering to comment on the change she thinks about the woman that was supposedly her actual mother. She wanted answers but she wasn't getting them.

"I'm only getting more questions than answers. She may actually be my mother but who exactly is she." Waneta says closing her eyes thinking.

"She was able to talk telepathy to me again. I can only see someone greatly rooted with the force to even be able to do that."

Before she could think any longer she senses someone behind and brings her lightsaber at the ready and faces a tall pale man with red markings on his eyes and head.

He was looking down at her and was frowning down at her almost like he was confused before it disappeared and was replaced by his narrowed eyes.

"And who are you?"

"I could say the same to you. Are you the one who brought me here." Waneta says keeping her lightsabers close but still didn't activate them.

The man starts to chuckle to himself leaving waneta confused. "For a second I thought you seemed...familiar. Father must have brought you here for a reason."

"The other visitors were brought here for a reason and you must as well. But why didn't he tell us?"

"Are you going to continue talking to yourself or are you going to answer me?"

Smirking at her he points to a huge castle or palace like building that was in the distant.

"You may find your answers there. For now I have something to do than meddle around with you. Until we meet again."

Walking backwards he turns around and turns into a winged creature and takes off into the sky leaving waneta behind.

Reaching a hand out waneta tries to call him back. "Wait! Just who are you! And he's gone. Great."

Looking at him disappear into the night sky waneta sighs before heading towards the castle in an annoyed state.

"Things just keep getting better and better. First I get pulled into some weird planet. Than I have my mother speaking to me in my head and now this." She mumbles to herself.

After a few minutes of walking she finally makes it to the entrance and slowly opens the tall door and walked slowly inside until she seen two people talking.

One was an old man while the other was a person she knew just from looking at his back. Anakin.

"So I see I wasn't the only one brought here." Waneta says interrupting their conversation.

Anakin turning to see that it was Waneta looks at her with narrowed eyes before speaking with his teeth gritted. "You! What are you doing here!"

"I could say the same to you Anakin. I don't want to be here any longer than I need to. Especially now that your here. Things just went from better to perfect."

For some odd reason Waneta also noticed that he didn't take his lightsaber but the old man that was beside Anakin draws her attention as he walks to her.

As he got closer Waneta felt that this old man was very powerful. She knew that if she fought him he would completely destroy her without even trying.

Stopping just in front of her he looks at her closely and that was making her a little nervous.

Sighing the man looks up at her eyes and gave her a look of pity. "There is no doubt in mind. You're her daughter. She was a step ahead of us this entire time it seems. But why did she create you." He says holding his beard.

"You're talking about my mother right? Who exactly is she?" Waneta questions wanting some answers.

"She is a crazy demon that only brings chaos wherever she goes. We had no choice but to keep her imprisoned or else the galaxy that you know will cease to exist and be made in her own vision."

"She calls herself...Abeloth."

Waneta says the name quietly to herself letting the name roll off her tongue before looking at the man in thanks.

"Thank you for telling me this."

She didn't tell him that she was talking to her in her mind because she still didn't trust anyone for now. But she was starting to lean towards this old man. He seemed wise and more sane than the woman that was speaking to her. But even than she was still having thoughts if trusting her.

"We will talk more about this later. For now it is time for the both of you to get ready for tomorrow."

"After you undergo my test you and your friends will be able to leave." The man says turning to Anakin.

"And what about her. I don't exactly trust her after she betrayed us."

Waneta narrows her eyes at him and wanted to punch him in the mouth for once and shut him up but the man stops the two from escalating the argument.

"The two of you're under my watch now while in my home. You both will be protected along with your friends and I will not allow the two of you to fight here."

The two of them reluctantly calm down but not without eyeing each other. Anakin decides to leave while waneta stayed behind not knowing what to do.

"I am sure you want more answers about who you're but you will get your answers tomorrow. I will bring you to a room so you can rest. And be warned. Your mother is not someone to take lightly."

With that he takes her to a room before saying a few more things before leaving waneta in her thoughts. While she sat on the bed she thought of what the man had told her.

From how he was saying it. Her mother Abeloth was someone very powerful and dangerous. She shuddered thinking she was the daughter of a being like that and couldn't help but think was that what she really looked like when she first meet her on Zeridian.

While she was in her thoughts she also remembered the man saying something about the protection of Anakin's friends meaning he wasn't alone. That would mean Ashoka and someone else was with him and she didn't think she was ready to see Ashoka after the long few months she had seen her.

She knew she was still angry and hurt that she had betrayed them. But she wanted her to understand that the Zeridian was the only place she had to call a home and the republic and separatist was taking that away from her. She could only hope that she would understand.

Having those thoughts she takes a deep breaths and close her eyes as she falls asleep to get ready for whatever the old man wanted her to do.
