Quay'Na Rakai
Oct 15th, 2003, 04:35:14 PM
It had been quite a day at the Wildside Animal Refuge as Quay'Na Rakai and Mylia Basque walked or rather dragged themselves towards the Jedi Temple.
It was dusk and both Padawans were starved, they had thought about going straight to the Bar and Grill to get a bite to eat, but then noticed how messy they were from the barns and decided to go get cleaned up first.
"A nice hot shower will do me some good." Quay'Na commented as the two of them crossed the street. "We probably should go see Jacali for a bit tonight afterwards, maybe we can sneak her in a sandwich."
"She'd probably like that." Mylia laughed.
It hadn't been the same since Jacali's accident that laid her up in the hospital ward for weeks. But, the two Padawans went to visit her at least once a day.
"Let's go in the back way, I don't feel like trudging around through the main lobby smelling like a barn." Quay'Na suggested as she led the two of them to a nearby alleyway.
She hadn't gotten two feet and stopped suddenly, her animal sensing kicking in full force. Something was wrong here. Without as much as a word, Quay'Na grabbed her sabre and took off down the darkening alley.
The door to the Temple was about a half a block down and as she neared it, she could hear the cry of a small child, a very small child and a destinct growl.
An Anooba. A vicious carnivore. She knew it before she even saw it. Damn, pet stores! These creatures were often brought in from Tatooine for trading. But, more often than not they escaped and thrived in the darkened streets and dead alleys in search of prey.
Not to mention, they didn't care to speak when Quay'Na tried to use her telepathy.
*Snap-hiss* Her tourquise blade rose from her hilt casting an eerie glow about the alley. Six yellow eyes reflected off that glow, these night creatures were monsters and had found a....a little boy in a restraint seat right outside the Temple door.
With a battle cry, Quay'Na charged at the beasts, hoping Mylia could grab the child and take him into the Temple door to safety.
The beasts scattered for a moment and then regrouped. The ugly, large-toothed monsters barked and growled as Quay'Na came at them. It only took a couple of moments and a few good swings of her sabre and she was able to slice a paw here, a tail there and the third beast lost both it's long ears.
A few moments later, they were gone and Quay'Na deactivated her blade and clipped it back onto her belt. She quickly jogged back towards the Temple door and went in with a swipe of her key card.
Just inside the door, was Mylia holding the child....Quay'Na had felt it before, it wasn't a 'normal' child. This little boy was a Garou child or at least part Garou and he was Force-sensitive.
Quay'Na saw a note attached to his shirt, if that was what you could call it. It looked more like a rag. She read it:
Please, take care of my son. I've no money and am living on the streets. His name is Jacoby...
The child couldn't be more than a year, he looked younger than Dasquian's daughter, who was one now. The boy let out a wail and began to skirm around.
"Let me see him." Quay'Na said as she took him from Mylia. He stopped crying immediately.
