A New Little Shadow

[Zen Phoenix]

The young girl came from the One-Sith Sisterhood. They were all extremely dangerous female Sith and grouped up to create more devastation across the galaxy. Chashmona wasn't a girl made for such a thing. She hadn't helped nor even went into conversation with any of the sisters. She locked herself away, which caused some social disabilities, mentally. Even some of the Sith didn't like it, but she had maintained the sane behavior all the time. After a certain amount of time, a trooper took her away and brought her away from the planet with the permission of the Sith. Little did the Sith know that the trooper would bring her to a Jedi academy.

The girl quickly became a signed up family to be a new member of the Silver Shadows and a family member Kaalu Clan. She was taken into the day after, she only showed and maintained the same shy non social. behavior, but not exactly fearful. She did seem to pay attention to what was happening around her.

That next morning, it would've been different. She was getting her own master, a member of the Silver Shadows as well as the Kaalu clan,. but maybe best of all. She knew how to handle little children. The young girl came wearing the typical white/blank colored padawan clothes. She was waiting at her room for the woman to appear.

The girl was quietly drawing, having her teddy bear sit next to her, but the teddy bear was on the desk, "That is you, mister Teddy.~" She said as she looked at her teddy bear, "Do you like the drawing?" Suddenly she changed her voice in a funny way, "I love it, Chashmona. You are the best friend and drawer ever~"

Training anew. To undo what has been taught, what has been experienced in such a short life will be forever on the soul of this small child. And yet, there are many pages to be written on. The rawness of something pure, a child who has yet to begin and Coci is here this day to begin a long journey that will see the first steps of a new future.

Chashmona is new to the Silver Sanctum and an unknown, dropped off by a trooper that had seen reason unlike those he works for, it is a pity that trooper had not stayed, two lives might have been removed from the darkness.

Coci stood on the threshold watching the small child at play with drawing, her bear close by no doubt there for added security of the mind. Chashmona looked for all the world like a Jedi, but it is not the robes that make a warrior of light, but their heart, their strength, their purpose .. so it is time to see what this little one is made of.

"Hello Chashmona", she said softly as she entered the room and moved over to the girl. "What is your friends name?". She asked to open the dialogue with her. "Mine is Coci".

Seems she is dealing a lot with children these days, the future of the Jedi and the Sanctum sitting on the floor and ready to be enhanced with a better Way of Life.

Chashmona had no idea, she was being looked over at the meantime. The girl was just cheerfully drawing.

"H---ello?", she said unguarded as she turned her head, seeing the woman. When she remained at distance for a moment, she allowed her teddy bear to remain on the desk.

When [member="Coci Heavenshield"] was getting closer to her Teddy Bear, she grabs a hold on her bear and kept it near her chest. She secured it with both her hands. Her eyes would look straight into Coci's eyes, before going down to her teddy bear. "His name is Teddy, but he's mine, not yours...No, playing surgery." She kept on talking, holding her bear quite firm. She could remember the woman at the One-Sith wanting to cut it open for fun, well Chash didn't find it funny at all.

Even if she was defensive to her teddy bear and held back slightly she still had the respect in her to say, "Nice to meet you, Lady Coci." She tried to speak a bit threatening but her voice remained cute.

Coci walked to the side and gathered a chair for herself. Seemingly not paying attention to the girls reaction over her bear, Coci positioned the chair nearby and sat down. "I will not take your Teddy", she said as she made herself comfortable. "But your bear is lovely and I wanted to know his name".

"It is nice to meet you too, Chashmona. You like drawing?", Coci wanted to set the girl's mind a ease before moving onto other things. The sense of the dark side lingered over the girl, through no fault of her own she had been subjected to it and Coci needed to find out more in order to form a plan on how to help her rid herself of it.

"You are playing surgery? maybe I could be a patient and your bear can fix me".

She quickly became calmer when this woman didn't want to take her teddy bear and put it under a surgery to rip it apart in front of the face of the young girl, since that was something the Sith had wanted to do together with her as sister bonding. "His name is Teddy~" She repeated.

Surprisingly Chashmona nodded towards the Silver Jedi Master. It helped her to ease in a bit and slowly lowered her shoulder from the tenseness she was first up showing. "I do" She grabbed her drawing and turned around to show the drawing to Coci, "This is teddy I drew him on this picture. It is not done yet. I want to draw him while he's sitting on the bed." She said smiling cutely.

She tensed up instantly again quickly shook her head and said, "No!" She slammed her little hands in a bit of chaos against the woman. It gave the little girl quite a shock "Surgery bad! That will hurt and it makes people scream a lot", She answered, showing once again a bit of the Sith things she had to go through.

The Sith were no kind people, even if they were young. [member="Coci Heavenshield"]

Coci was about to look over her picture she had drawn for Teddy, but her reaction to the suggestion of game playing surprised her somewhat. There is a touch of darkness still, more work needed to be done to help the small child.

"Then no surgery", she said with a soft smile. "You have seen this happen Chashmona?". she asked shifting to the floor to be on level terms with the young girl. "Surgery should never be painful to anyone".

Coci gazed on the girl with concern, what has this child suffered or witnessed? There is fear in her, it sits on her force aura like a blanket, but one that can be lifted, if she will let her.

"Hurting others is not acceptable here with us, you will be safe here and if anyone tries to hurt you, you must tell me immediately".

When the woman was easily saying it wouldn't happen if she didn't want. She shook her head, "No. I was very angry when she wanted to do surgery on Teddy. Teddy my friend." She told to Coci, "She wanted to see what was inside Teddy" Chashmona had told to Coci, but not much was really being told to what was wrong with her.

She had notified quite a lot within the kinder garden about the remote being bigger and black out there with the Sith or rather easily said, she had seen a lot of torture, interrogation droids.

The young girl turned her paper and started to draw something after Coci wanted to know it immediately. Her drawing seemed at first to be like snake, but it had no eyes and a bucket load of teeth. She placed a dot on the paper in the corner. "No, you too small...scary creature..." Her finger went over to the snake, "You." She placed her finger on the tiniest dot. "Snake big, scary!" She had been around when they were wanting to create the snake-like sith spawn the one who made fear dwell in her heart.

Coci raised her hand to not only stop the child from speaking but to calm her. A soft tendril of the lightside of the force reached out to her and wrapped her body and mind. "Chashmona, I will not harm you, nor will I harm Teddy", she said with a soft voice.

"The people that you used to be with, yes they are mean and want to hurt you and others, but we are Jedi and we do not do that". She tried to satisfy the child's fear with removing the worry.

"The snake is not here. What can I do to make you feel better? to take away the fear you have?". She must gain the trust of the child, the best way at this point was to place the situation back to her, let her feel she is in control of her life and situation.

Chashmona was slowly relaxing with great success of the wording from the woman, "Oh oooh kay"

She had the decision on what to do and this made the young little girl think about it, though the warning of Chashmona had given had failed and within battle the Silver Jedi would have a brand new far more destructive enemy to deal with compared to the other sith-spawns that were usually sent at the Jedi. The girl placed her tip of her left index finger on her lips and suddenly she turned her teddy bear showing Coci the back of her teddy bear. The teddy bear's fabric was letting loose and the stuffing could be seen. "Could you help me repair him?" She asked hesitant hoping that the woman would help her fix her teddy bear.

"Of course I can help Teddy", she said holding out her hand for Chashmona to give her Teddy, it was a gesture to see if the girl had began to trust her. It would not matter if she did not, that would come with time, since Teddy is a dear position to her. "Can .. Can I see what is wrong with Teddy?".

Although Coci wanted to take the girls mind off the snake, there was something hidden in her words that had caught Coci's attention. "This snake .. where did you see it?, Chashmona".

Coci picked up the drawing once more and looked it over. Whatever had inspired this drawing was something from nightmares, had that been the place of this drawings birth, or had she drawn it from seeing the real thing.

Chashmona showed a small but lovely smile. She was glad that the woman wanted to help fix her teddy bear in a way of fixing it to look pretty again. The woman from the sith would've just ripped off its head or eyes and said it is all good, and would've made her cry. Coci was a lot different. She asked if she may see it and at first she only turned her teddy bear for the Jedi Master. It did take a little amount of time until the young Chashmona had taken a little step ahead and handed over her Teddy Bear towards [member="Coci Heavenshield"] to see the damage.

The question about the snake finally got into Coci's mind and it was time for her to explain. She saw Coci looking over the drawing and placed her finger on the dot. "This is a person, that big thing is the snake." She had told to Coci once again. "Sith Sisters were making it bigger, stronger.. It was currently a baby and eating in a tub. It eats lots of meat if snake is big it should be that big." Coci should kind of be happy that the girl couldn't go into details about it. The snake was getting human organs as food daily in order to grow quickly.

She worked on Teddy, while Chashmona continued to explain about the snake. Coci did not give away any thoughts on the matter over her face, but remained fixed on the bear.

Her hand slowly moving around the bear, using the force she began mending his fabric, reknitting it where needed. Even the colour changed back to it's original and she did the best she could for his face. A loose thread woven back into it's stitches and even firmed him up once more. If the girl did not like her work, it could be undone and set to her liking. Once Coci was pleased with her work, she presented Teddy to his owner.

"What do you think?", she asked.

"Thank you for your information on the snake Chashmona, there are a few people in the Jedi that would be interested to hear this. It is nasty business, what they do and needs to be stopped".
