Urgency
Kiara had a hard time working. What happened to her in the alley way still sent a shock to her system. How was she going to tell her brother? Or should she tell him at all? Kiara could trust him with anything....since he was her big brother. But what would that do? Obi-Wan was on the Jedi Council, and they were already dealing with the Clone Wars as it is. They would get involved immediately, knowing another Sith Lord was alive in the galaxy.Obi-Wan would also be over-protective, she never knew why. Kiara just guessed it was because he has already lost many people, including Siri and Qui-gon. She couldn't blame him. It was a shock to her as well when that many people she heard/knew about, died instantly within a short period of time.
She couldn't let him get involved, nor anyone else on the Council. Kiara knew there would've been consequences for her secrecy. Just as any secret would be. She was in conflict with herself.
After work, she made sure the restaurant was cleaned, and the credits given that day was locked away securely. She headed down the same alley she met the mysterious Sith at, and frowned that he was not around. He was such a mysterious figure...in a way that enchanted her, and made her curious. 'No.....you don't even know him. Get a grip, Kiara,' she thought to herself.
After she got home, she kicked off her flats, and got into something more comfortable. Kiara stretch out her body on the sofa, enjoying the peace and quiet...but that was interrupted when she got a call on her communicator.
She groaned and pressed a button, "Why do you have to call me when I just got off of work?!" she hissed to her brother. Kiara heard a chuckle on the other end, "Sorry, your highness. But there are more important things to discuss than sitting around, on your 'throne,' " Obi-Wan teased. She rolled her eyes and said in a authoritative tone, playing along with his joke, "You're lucky that I don't have my guards hauling that head right off your body."
Obi-Wan played like he was hurt, "Such harsh words from a woman of 'nobility.' You sound like a Seperatist." Kiara sighed, "Where do you want me meet you?" "You're asking me where to meet? You should know by now! Where we meet every single time when we needed to talk alone," Obi-Wan scolded her.
She then said, "I'll meet you in ten minutes. Got that?! Ten minutes!" Kiara got into a change of clothes, her bag, and headed out the door. She jogged down the steps of the apartment building over to a docking area.
She then got into her small ship and closed the hatch. Pressing specific buttons, her ship sprung to life. Kiara guided her ship and flew it towards their 'secret place.'
----------------------------------------------
Finally arriving at her destination, she got out of her ship and headed over to a bench. Kiara tapped her foot impatiently. 'Was he late again?' she grumbled to herself. Just then there was some rustling in the tree behind her.
Kiara looked around in alarm. She heard a figure rush around before something clamped its hand around her mouth. She heard a familiar chuckle behind her. The hand was taken off her mouth and she began to rage.
"Don't do that you jerk! You scared the heck out of me.!" she said punching Obi-Wan's chest. He laughed and said, "I get you all the time, it's hilarious that you can't get me back"
Kiara grumbled to herself. "Ok, what do you want to talk about?" They both sat down on the bench (it's in a secluded part of Coruscant), Obi-Wan then said, "Well with war raging, there appears to be more Sith Lords emerging out of the shadows. The Council fears that some could be hiding here on Coruscant, in order to interfere with Republic affairs. I was wondering if you had seen something off lately going around, any sign of possible Sith?"
That is when Kiara's eyes widen, Obi-Wan could feel the fear radiating off of her. "Is there something you are not telling me?" he asked. She just sat there scared out of her life...not sure whether to tell him about her recent experience or not.
She finally spoke, "I did...meet some sort of Sith Lord in an alley on the way to work this morning." Obi-Wan's curiosity and fear got the best of him, "Who was he? Did he hurt you?"
Kiara's fears came true, "He did sort of...harm me. His name was..." she paused and said the next word quietly, "Maul." Obi-Wan could not hear her say the name, "Say it louder. Who was he?!" "Maul...." Kiara said enough to where Obi-Wan could hear. "What?!!" Obi-Wan replied, alarmed.
