Octavia knew she was awake but her eyes refused to open or if they were opened she couldn't see anything but darkness. Trying to move a hand in front of her face she didn't feel anything. Perhaps her limbs weren't responding after all she didn't feel the elbow bend. Memory … what had happened? The restaurant … the feeling of being watched … then … they were attacked. Medenna? Where was Medenna? They were attacked after they left the restaurant and Medenna crying out in pain, then blaster fire and pain and the overwhelming feeling of darkness. Octavia tried not thinking about not seeing or feeling instead she tried to stretch out with the Force to see if she could find Medenna. Only she felt nothing, the Force wasn't there. Just like Mykr it didn't exist. Whoever attacked them had placed them in a force dampening cell Octavia remembered feeling one of those at Port Lansing just before the Emperor … no she needed to stop those thoughts. Calming herself Octavia tried to think clearly, it was so hard. The people who attacked had been prepared for Jedi, but one question still remained if she was restrained why couldn't she feel the restraints? Panic threatened to rise in the pit of her stomach, yet it never fully rose. Could it be happening again? Were they going to be taken to another set of gladiatorial games? What of Medenna? She wouldn't be able to face such games; she was to young … too innocent. Just like Victoria too innocent. Octavia tried to relax and to push what panic she felt down. She needed to keep track of her senses and to stop it from overcoming her, yet her thoughts wondered to Medenna, she had to stay strong for her, had to help her but first she had to help herself. ~*~ Medenna couldn't understand why she couldn't see, where was the Force? Why couldn't she feel the Force? Where was Octavia? Is this what if felt like to be dead? Medenna tried to move but couldn't feel anything, no floor; walls not even her own fingers or body. What was happening? She tried to think of the lessons that the teachers drilled into them, but how did you accomplish those tasks especially the mediation without the use of the Force? 'Octavia!' Medenna screamed in her mind. Medenna tried to move, but soon became exhausted at trying, Dark sleep overtook her and she felt herself floating. ~*~ Medenna felt like crying, how long had she been like this? Why hadn't anyone talked to her, or asked her any questions? Was she truly dead? Or was this some sick joke? Medenna saw the other student's back on Yavin they were laughing and pointing fingers at her. Finally Medenna's eyes came to rest on Octavia, Medenna tried to yell to her but couldn't hear herself speak she couldn't talk! Octavia went to say something to her, but Medenna couldn't hear her. Panic once again tried to creep into her thoughts. 'Stop it!' Medenna yelled at herself, 'This isn't real … this isn't real.' Memories, what did she remember? A beggar who needed help, she had given him a few credit he thanked her and rose to leave that was when the blaster fire who had done this? Medenna felt horrible, she wanted to scream but she couldn't hear if she did by the Force what did she get herself into? "Medenna you'll never make it as a Jedi you can't control yourself." Again the voices from some of the students from Yavin yelled at her. Medenna tried to put her hands over her ears but couldn't feel her hands. 'Stop it!' Medenna yelled 'Stop it!' ~*~ Octavia was tired. She was tired of trying to make sense out of this new situation, tired of fighting to feel something anything. How many days had she been here? She never thought she'd miss the feeling of the Living Force what she wouldn't give to feel it once again. 'Medenna.' Octavia spoke the name in her mind as if by saying it the young girl would appear. Octavia stared out into the darkness she heard the roar of a crowd the cheers were extremely loud. "Next we have a young inexperienced Jedi straight from Yavin, Medenna will face one Victoria Syn in a battle to the death." Again the roar of the crowd filled Octavia's ears. "NO!" Octavia tried to scream. "NO! Medenna can't face her, she's not ready to face the dark!" tbc
