BACK TO ME

Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn stood up instantly as temple healer Zasje approached him. The light pink Twi’lek motioned for him to follow her then walked back down the dark corridor stopping before one of the doors. Inside Qui-Gon could see his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi lying on a bed. He looked so small and innocent surrounded by the large machines that were monitored his progress.... Or lack of such. Qui-Gon thought bitterly before turning back to the petite healer who waited patiently.

******************************************

You’re my love

You’re my life

How can I live without you?

When you’re not here I’m lost

******************************************

"Master Qui-Gon. There is nothing more we can do the force is in control now." Zasje said softly. " I will leave you two alone...contact me when he...when he..." she turned away brushing away tears unable to continue. " I will." He said gruffly trying to hold back his own tears as he entered the small room and slipped into the seat beside his unmoving padawan. Qui-Gon felt his heart would break as he picked up one of the boy’s cold hands.

******************************************

Now you’re leaving

And I’m dying

Slowly but surely

By my loves bittersweet hand.

******************************************

Then he let the tears come unable to hold back his hurt and pain any longer. Qui-Gon knew now that his apprentice, his Obi-Wan would join the force.

******************************************

My love for you

No one but you

My hope for you

None but you

My life for you

I live only for you.

******************************************

Through their bond he could feel Obi-Wan's force signature dim and flicker. Closing his eyes Qui-Gon thought back to that morning. He wanted to remember Obi-Wan as an energetic learner...not like this.

*******************************************

Your golden smile

And blue green eyes

They lift me up

They give me hope

*******************************************

As soon as Qui-Gon opened his eyes again the memories of that morning shattered.

*******************************************

But as I look down at you

Motionless and pale

I can feel my hopes begin to fail

*******************************************

He looked at Obi-Wan's closed eyes imagining what they had looked like. Always hopeful, full of love and trust in his mentor, His master.

*******************************************

Open those eyes

Give me back my hope

My life.

*******************************************

Qui-Gon started as the machines around him began screaming. Almost instantly the dazed master was surrounded by healers. They roughly shoved him outside the room and shut the door behind him. But he already knew Obi-Wan's life force was gone. Leaving behind only a black void where their bond had been.

*******************************************

Please my young apprentice return to me.........return to me.

*******************************************

Qui-Gon distantly felt someone help him into a seat and murmur quiet comfort. But he wasn’t listening to the words. They no longer held any meaning for him.

*******************************************

My life, my hope, you my...son.

*******************************************

The end
