The Lawless-Best End

So, the general sentence is the storyline and the cursive ones are Obi-Wans thoughts.
Obi-Wan P.O.V.
„Here to do more of your masters bidding?"
My heart jumps up and down, as I heard her voice.
"I do my own biddings."
She called my name and jumped into my arms. For a moment I smiled, because I felt warm. Warm because of the love Satine gave me.
Love, which shouldn't exist. Stupid code.
I softly pushed her away and let my hand rest on her shoulder.
"Are you alone?"
I told her, what was going on and looked around the corner. Then I took her hand.
"I trust you have an escape plan?"
"As always, my dear."
I smiled under my helmet. She was so beautiful.
But as the doors of the elevator opened a Death Watch warrior looked at us.
I grabbed Satines arm and pushed her into the elevator. The warrior started to ask questions about"What is the code?" so I got nervous and hit him in the head. I was sorry, because Satine disliked violence, but there was hardly any choice.
She didn't say anything. We walked to a speeder and sat down. As I felt her hands at my hips I felt again a lot of warm… love. It was a great feeling.
Well, stupid code, I thought once again.
The red Death Watch followed us and as we got to my ship (okay, Anakins ship), they shot.
But I carried also a blaster with me and shot back.
We ran into the cockpit and I activated the cannonry and then I started the ship.
But it was too slow. We got hit by two rockets.
"We must get out of here!" I screamed. Satine nodded. We ran to the ramp and suddenly I flew out of the ship. But I grabbed the ramp. I heard that Satine was crying my name and then she also flew out of the ship.
I got her hand and hold it tightly. I looked back and decided it was the best to let go.
We fell down. I rolled a few times until I stopped and then I saw that something heavy flew at Satine. I pushed it away with the force.
I breathed.
Oh my…
But then I felt a presence. I looked up.
Darth Maul.
I tried to get up and activated my lightsaber. But he pulled me forwards to him and choked me with the force.
Because of the fall, my mind was dizzy and I didn't understand everything what he said, but I heard something like "Welcome to my Home".
So, we were dragged to the Throne Room. There, I stand in front of the throne with two guards at my side. Maul sat on the throne. If I'm honest it looked dark and awful because of him. Satine kneeled next to him and looked at me with a sad look.
"Your noble flaw is a weakness shared by you and your duchess."
He lifted Satine of the ground and force choked her. I wanted to get to her, but the guards grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back.
"Your emotions betray you. Your fear and yes, your anger. Let your anger deepen, your hatred!" Maul growled in his deep, awful voice.
I closed my eyes and breathed heavy.
Peace over anger. Honor over hate. Strength over fear.
"Don't listen to him, Obi!" Satine gasped.
"You can kill me, but you will never destroy me. It takes strength to resist the dark side. Only the weak embrace it."
Maul glared at me. "It is more powerful then you know!"
"And those who oppose it are stronger then you'll ever be. I know where you're from. I've been to your village. I know the decision to join the dark side wasn't yours. The nightsisters made it for you-"
"SILENCE!" Maul screamed. I closed my mouth.
"You think you know me?! It was I who languished for years thinking of nothing but you!"
How nice from him.
"Nothing but that moment!" He pointed at Satine and the fear crashed into my mind like an ocean wave.
"And now the perfect tool for my vengeance is in front of us. I never planned on killing you, but I make you share my pain, Kenobi!"
My eyes grew wide as he activated the darksaber.
He's going to kill her! He's going to kill my love!
But suddenly a window crashed and a few blue Death Watch warriors shot at the guards at my side. They fell down, immediately dead. Maul let Satine go and she fell to the floor. But I caught her before she could hit the cold stones.
"Are you okay?!" I asked, my voice full of sorrow and yes…. regret.
She caught her breath and nodded.
I pulled her up and carried her in my arms and ran to the exit. A woman from the Death Watch ran behind us and shouted:"Satine, Jedi! Wait!"
"Obi, slow down, please."
I slowed down and the woman was next to us.
"We've prepared a ship for you. In this direction!" She pointed to another door and I ran into the corridor.
After a while Satine wanted to run by herself but I ignored her, because I didn't want to risk anything.
"Obi, please!"
"No. You got force choked and something heavy landed on you. You are not going to run by yourself."
She sighed but agreed. We got to the ship and the woman said: "Okay, get into the ship!"
"Wait!" Satine cried, as I walked towards the ramp.
I let her down for once and the runs to the woman.
"Thank you, sister!"
The woman nodded and said:"When you're on Coruscant, think about how we can save Mandalore!"
Satine nodded and we rushed into the ship. As we were in hyperspace I started calming down. Satine looked at me and I tried to smile.
"Obi, what's up?"
"It's nothing." I almost whispered.
"Well, it doesn't look like 'nothing'."
"No, really. I'm fine."
She just shocked her head and leaned towards me.
"Obi-Wan, I don't need to be a Jedi to feel that something is wrong with you."
I sighed and looked up at her, into her deep icy-blue eyes. I almost lost myself in them.
"Obi?"
"Yes, I… I just realized, that if the blue Death Watch and your… sister…. Weren't there… You would've died."
Satine looked at me with a small smile on her lips.
"I'm here, Obi. I'm not dead."
"No, no you're not dead." I agreed with her.
"But it's just… He was so near killing you, Satine. I would've been lost. I know it…"
I stared down at my hands. They were shaking.
Suddenly, a smaller hand grabbed them. I looked up at surprise. Satine was smiling warmly at me.
"It's alright. I'm here, with you. We are save."
I nodded slowly.
She is save. He can't hurt her anymore.
"Obi?"
"Yes?"
"I'm very glad that you came to rescue me."
Now it was my turn to smile.
"There was no other choice. I would never leave you alone in moments like this."
"I know." Her voice was almost a whisper.
And then I just realized that our heads were getting closer. It was like a reflex that I closed my eyes. Then, our lips met. I was surprised, but the feeling was warm, very warm. I relaxed and kissed her. Even the Jedi in my head didn't say anything. After a few minutes, we broke apart and I rested my forehead against hers.
"I love you."
My eyes were closed and I didn't even realized, what I said, until I felt Satines arms around my neck.
I… I love her. Yes, I love her!
"I love you too, Obi-Wan."
I opened my eyes and smiled at her. She smiled back and I brushed my lips against hers, before we kissed again. I wrapped my arms around her and she ran her fingers through my hair. And in moments like this, I wished that she would let me leave the Jedi Order.
Well, I will try to convince her, when we're on Coruscant.
But now, we just enjoyed the moment we got, kissing happily in the cockpit.
This is my first story, so I hope you liked it. :)
I'm not sure if I will post another chapter. ;)
