Rukia sighed once more as she sat on the small bed in the small cell somewhere in the huge planet she had only ever heard about...Courascant...all her life she had wanted to get here, to see its sights and see if she could talk to one of the people she had only ever heard talk about...the Jedi.
She had long been interested in them and craved their lifestyle, their ability to help people and travel the galaxies on dangerous and important missions to help defend little worlds who could not protect themselves....but most importantly...she would be in a place where she could find people who would watch her back if she so needed it.
All her life she had been alone, she knew how to fend for herself and while she was not unkind, she found it hard to trust people. After all, when you live a life of solitude, betrayal and danger its not easy to make friends when you dont really know how. Because of this, she also had a secure check on her emotions...besides her one biggest fear...the dark and the shadows it created. Even now as the night drew nearer and nearer, she could feel the panic setting in no matter how much she tried to calm herself and tell herself there was nothing to fear in the small cell. Nothing could get in and she had the lights of the city....but still the shadows would linger and hide things she could not see...
Swallowing gently, she looked up out the small window to the world outside it, the world she wanted to explore but was barred from...just like in Naboo when she had wanted to look around the palace...but the guards had merely laughed her away. She curled her knees to her chest softly and lowered her head upon them...she knew she could very easily spend the rest of her life here, the amount of criminal activities she had taken a part in...she only hoped that she had a chance to redeem herself and prove that she could be the perfect citizen if given a chance and a fresher start in life.
