Song of the Force -- The Sequel

Carth Onasi

I held her tight, shuddering at the effort not to cry.

"I won't, I promise."

I let her go, opting to put my arm around her shoulders and kissed her on the forehead.

"Atton walked into the Hawk a while ago, I'm assuming he wants to leave soon, let's go."

[Force_Flow]

"Wait, I need to get my things," Revan said. "We were supposed to leave at dawn, but... I guess it'll be a bit earlier than expected. Need me to get your stuff?"

Dev quietly slipped out of bed, rubbing his eyes to stop the flow of tears. He put his blanket on top of his pillow and waddled over to his toy box. Taking out his run-down stuffed rabbit (which he had christened Klay), he hugged it to his chest.

Carth Onasi

"No, no, I'll get it. You get on in the Hawk I'll be there."

I kissed her on the forehead one more time before leaving for the enclave. Walking to Revan's quarters was quite eerie, the whole place almost completely silent. I looked around, as if the place was totally new to me before opening the large duffel bag.

"Hmm.."

It looked as if someone had dug through the bags contents, but there was no way it was possible. Shrugging I grabbed a small blaster from the bottom of the bag, around half the size of an average blaster, and tucked it away inside my jacket. Revan hadn't actually told me what she was doing on Coruscant, but I couldn't take my safety from granted, that was for sure. I also took the time to reach into one of the side pockets and attatched a small stun stick to my waist, there was nothing left to chance.

I quietly walked over to the closed door to Dev's room, placing my ear to the door- silence- perfect. I smiled, turned around on heel, and left the enclave, hoping to catch up with Revan before she boarded the ship.

Dev knew his father was checking to see if he was asleep. He stilled his breathing and instinctively became small within the Force. He heard the whoosh of the opening and closing of the door, and frowned, forgetting about his tears. He walked over to Revan’s room and entered the hallway, keeping Klay close to him.

Following Carth’s retreating footsteps, Dev and Klay left the Enclave and Dev’s bare feet tensed slightly at the snow beneath him. Biting his lip, he hugged Klay closer to him and continued after Carth.

They seemed to be taking the shortcut to the Hanger. Instead of using the cooridors, they seemed to be just going around the Enclave. It seemed logical. Now, as they entered the three-ship hanger, Dev stayed in the shadows. Now was his chance to learn. He’d be ahead of his class if he went on a mission. He’d be happy.

So, going after Carth, he entered the shuttle, and moved to the Cargo Hold.

"I apologize for my appearance," I murmured, doing exactly what I almost always did when I was tense or very nervous--my stance and my tone of voice had become rather business-like, almost as though I were talking to a stranger or attempting to convince a vendor to lower the price on a speeder bike.

I cleared my throat, and continued, a bit more loosely this time. "I just had a vision, about Dane. I saw her lying on the floor in the temple on Coruscant, and Eviwy's presence was very strong within her."

I swallowed. "I could tell Dane was still in there, but she's almost given up on fighting Eviwy--she's exhausted, and tired of fighting. I could tell. We need to hurry, or... she might be lost."

Carth Onasi

I turned around quickly as Revan boarded the ship, part of me couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. It was as if they were in the hangar with me.

Nah, you're just paranoid...

I tossed the thought aside and headed on inside of the Hawk, nodding to Atton before seating myself in the co-pilot's seat.

The first responce that came to Mira's head was, You're crazy. But, actually, Mira had felt it, too. A subtle shift in the Force, like a lock coming undone minute by minute. She nodded and frowned. "Okay," she said. This just makes things more difficult. "Any ideas?"

"Just get there as soon as you can, and try to find her," I said, taking in a deep breath. I hadn't even realized I was panting. "I think perhaps you and the others should leave immediately. Every second that passes is another second that Dane suffers."

I touched her shoulder, and looked right into her emerald eyes. "Be careful out there, and bring Dane home safely," I murmured.

[Force_Flow]

"I know," Mira said. "And I'll tell the others. Get some sleep."

She smiled grimly at him. Laying a hand on his should, she looked him in the eyes, conveying all her worry, and all her doubt. She blew out a breath. "I'll be back soon," she said.

And she left.

Atton Rand

I smiled to Carth and Revan as the entered the Hawk, a tad earlier than expected, but pleasant company none-the-less.

I couldn't keep Dane out of my head now, it was as if she was in everyone of my thoughts, every time I tried to reassure myself it was as if hope was dwindling away with each word. I was falling apart.

I'm gonna find her...I'm gonna find her...she's there on Coruscant and I damn well know it...

And I pretended to accidentally hit myself in the eye as a single tear fell.
