After Master Kin disappeared, Sara decided to focus on the practical things she had to do: she looked around the room and she started to make the bed she had to change the sheets for sleeping on a mattress with Ben's scent on it wouldn't be wise. She grabbed clean sheets from a small cabinet and threw the green duvet onto the floor. But as she leaned on the bed to pull the sheets off, she couldn't stop herself from smelling them and they smelled like Ben. The tears started to flow again. She stopped trying to get the sheets off and sat down on the bed, her eyes being captured by the red ring on her finger, she touched it lovingly, remembering how happy she felt the day he put that on her finger, one year ago. It happened right there, on that bed.


FLASHBACK

Only the light from the fireplace lit up the small room. On the bed, a young couple lay naked together after making love, caressing each other's bodies, just enjoying the feel of their skins touching. But the silence was suddenly cut when Ben said: "I brought you something!" and he pulled out a ring no box, just the ring from his pants that lay crumpled on the floor by the bed. "Will you marry me?" he asked, unceremoniously. Sara looked at his messy hair and the stupid smile he had on his face as he held the ring in her direction and laughed, replying: "Yes!" then he put the ring on her finger, kissing it afterwards.

END OF FLASHBACK


Sara looked from the bed to the fireplace and let her eyes travel around the room; there were so many memories in that cabin, the countless nights they had spent there together, talking and making love. Their first time making love had been on that same bed too, about two years ago.


FLASHBACK

21 ABY

Their duelling sessions had become more violent, they clashed and used the Force to block and attack each other. Both were very skilled, so each round could last longer than 30 minutes.

Ben managed to defeat Sara – a rare occurrence – and she lay down on the ground, defeated, dirty and sweaty, but smiling – she was always happy whenever he beat her, for that meant he was improving. He sat by her side and watched her breasts move up and down with each breath she took. She was beautiful and clever, strong and sexy. He had spent many sleepless nights just imaging her under him, how deliciously loud she would be, how good it would feel to sink into her and hear her moaning as he pounded into her.

"Ben." She called him, her eyes closed. "I can feel what you're feeling..."

"Yeah. And what am I feeling?" he asked lying down beside her.

She opened her eyes to look at him.

"Desire." She whispered, touching his face. "And I feel the same." her thumb on his full lips.

Ben quickly put himself on top of her, between her legs, resting his weight on his forearms; he nibbled on her bottom lip, making her sigh.

"You make such a delicious picture, lying down on the ground, all sweaty..." he licked her lips. "Just defeated..." he kissed her passionately, one hand on her thighs. "I can't stop imagining you coming apart under me... "Sara pulled him harder on top of her, she wanted him. His lips left hers to torture her neck, she couldn't stop the soft moan that left her mouth.

"Don't do that, pet."

"I can't stop it. To feel your weight on me, your kisses and touches... it makes me lose control."

He took a deep breath and rubbed his body against hers, making her moan again.

"I keep imaging..." she whispered. "How good will I feel when you..."

He kissed her lips violently, stopping her words. He didn't think he could survive hearing her say that she dreamed of them making love.

"You're killing me, pet." He said hoarsely against her neck, slowly rubbing his body on hers.

Sara raised a hand and opened the first two buttons of her shirt. Ben didn't lose any minute, he kissed the exposed skin, noticing the sexy white laced brassiere she wore; the smell of her sweat was stronger between her breasts, and he loved it.

"Ben, come to my cabin tonight." She whispered.

He raised his head from between her breasts to look at her.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Absolutely." She looked into his eyes, touching his face. "I love you and I want you. So bad."

He kissed her passionately.

"I love you too." He whispered over her lips. "And I've wanted you since the first time we kissed. So if you're certain, I'll be there after curfew."

And so he did. He knocked on her door later that night. Sara, dressed in a rosé silk robe, quickly opened and pulled him inside, she didn't want to wait another minute. He took her lips passionately and they fell onto her bed. Then he opened up her robe.

"Sara." He exhaled.

She was completely naked under it. He sat back on his ankles and stared at her: the long brown hair all over the pillow, her firm perfect breasts, taut darker nipples, her flat belly, the trimmed patch of hair between her thighs; all over her curvy body her skin looked creamy, making him want to lick all of her curves.

"You're making me blush, Ben."

"You're gorgeous, pet." He whispered, touching her hips, moving up to her belly, to her breasts, feeling the warmth and softness of her skin. "You're like a feast, and I don't know where to start devouring you." He kissed her bellybutton and trailed kisses up, licking her right nipple tentatively, hearing her gasp. So, he repeated and did the same to the left one.

"Take off your clothes." she breathlessly said.

He obeyed, quickly removing his long-sleeved shirt, pants and underwear. And she threw her robe on the floor.

He felt self-conscious as she stared at his hard dick and naked body.

"Like what you see?" he asked.

"Absolutely." And she pulled him on top of her. The feeling of their bodies touching made them both gasp. Ben rubbed their bodies together and his dick touched her wet entrance.

"Ben." Sara whispered. "I have to admit that I played with myself a little as I waited for you to arrive."

"Really?" he liked the thought that her desire for him was so big that she couldn't wait for him to arrive, she had to pleasure herself somehow. "Tell me what you did. What do you like?"

"I don't really know. I've never..."

"I know. Neither have I. But you've pleasured yourself. What do you like?" he insisted, feeling the need to know.

"I like having my nipples lightly bitten and pinched hard."

Ben took one of her nipples between his teeth and bit it.

"Yes." She gasped. "Like that."

"What else?"

"Whenever I touch myself, I wonder what it's like to be kissed... Between my legs." She blushed as she spoke.

"It's so good to hear you say that, pet. I've always wanted to lick you all over..." then he trailed kisses down her belly and positioned his head between her legs, his face close to her entrance, then he observed her nether lips. "You look swollen and wet." She guided his fingers to her entrance. "You're definitely wet." He sniffed her. "And you smell sweet." Then he swiped his tongue in her cleft. Sara arched and moaned. "You taste good, clean." He groaned and opened her up with his fingers to taste her again. And again. Driving her mad with pleasure. He could feel her getting wetter and her moans increased. But the wetter she got, the more he wanted to eat her up.

"Ben, I need more." She cried out.

"I could eat your pussy all night long, pet." He admitted as he put himself over her body, between her legs, positioning his hard member over her dripping entrance. He rubbed it between her drenched lips and began to penetrate her, slowly.

"This is so good." he groaned, feeling the pressure on his dick, the slickness and the heat from her channel.

"You're hurting me a little." She gasped in pain as he broke the thin skin of her virginity.

"It's ok. I think it'll get better soon." he stopped, fully seated inside of her. "How do you feel?" He was breathing laboriously.

"Full and... a little pain. And you?"

"You're delicious, pet, all I want is to pound into you. My dick is in heaven, I may never leave your body again." He slowly moved his hips and she gasped. "Did I hurt you?" he worried.

"No. It was good. Move again."

He obeyed and she arched her back, gasping.

"Look at you... So fucking sexy. So delicious." He moved his hips again and she began to moan. "I won't be able to last long, pet."

"Make me cum, Ben, with your dick deep inside of me."

And he felt his body shiver in desire. Moving his hips in the way that elicited more gasps and moans from her lips, he thrust deep into her, trying to think of anything but the woman under him, moaning at the end of this dick – for he was certain he would cum any moment.

Soon Sara was trembling, coming apart under him. And the pressure on his dick increased, it felt like her pussy was sucking him deeper and Ben lost control of his body, he pounded into her, feeling every jet of come that left his dick.

"No wonder people get obsessed with sex." he gasped, his head between her breasts. "I don't want to leave your body... Ever."

"Then don't." Sara said, encircling his waist with her legs, pulling him deeper inside of her. "I want more of you."

He groaned and resumed moving his hips, deep and slowly, making her gasp.

"Harder." she asked and he delivered, eliciting a long moan from her lips. "More, give me, Ben..."

And he took a fistful of her hair on the back of her neck, pulling at it as he knew she liked, and kissed her as he moved deep and hard into her. He bit her nipples next, making her scream in pleasure.

"That's it, pet." He groaned. "You're so fucking delicious." And he thrust into her with abandon, hitting deep, learning how to make her lose control; he wanted to become a pro at that for seeing her crying out in pleasure because of him was something he'd never get enough of. Sara was beautiful, but he could say without a doubt that having her lost in pleasure under his body was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"You're killing me, Ben." she moaned as he tortured her nipples and fucked her pussy hard. "Give me... More." she needed something but she didn't know what exactly.

Then he held her hands above her head, immobilizing them there with the Force, leaving her completely at his mercy. Next, he held her thighs wide open for his pleasure, watching as his painfully hard dick fucked her swollen pussy.

And as their climaxes approached once again they both felt a deeper connection: their powers were mingling, balancing one another; and the moment Sara felt his inner Darkness touch her mind she felt wild, it was a freeing feeling that took over her body and she came undone under Ben's strong body, feeling his hands holding her hips; meanwhile he felt powerful as her Light entered his mind, he tightened his grip on her hips, keeping her still for his thrusts and he fucked her like crazy, feeling her orgasm take over her mind and her channel close around his member, making her tighter, too delicious for him to keep going. He felt every jet of cum that left his dick as a small orgasm and fell on top of her, too tired to move. Sara didn't seem to mind his weight. He raised his head to kiss her lips, and they fell asleep mid-kiss, both exhausted.

END OF FLASHBACK


Sara woke up startled and quickly sat up on the unmade bed, the clean sheets still in her hands. She blinked and looked around; the fire no longer burned in the fireplace and through the window she could see the sun was already up she had fallen asleep lost in memories of her and Ben. She yawned and threw the clean sheets on the messy bed, giving up making the bed, there was no reason now that she was going to leave the Temple. She got up to begin organizing her personal things. If Master Luke was sending her away she needed to be ready.

About forty minutes later, she had her things nearly all ready to go, she didn't have many possessions after all. Then she heard knocks on the door.

"Come in."

And Master Luke walked into her cabin. He took one look at her packed bag and concluded: "I see your Master Kin told you that I intend to declare you a fully trained Jedi today."

"Yes." She turned around to look at her Master. "And he told me who he truly was. His real name. You already knew, didn't you?"

"Yes. Even if he had never shown himself to me, I'd have recognized his energy around you." Luke scrutinized her face trying to see how she felt about that, but she was too good at hiding her emotions for him to detect anything. "Are you mad at him?"

"Surprisingly, no." she exhaled. "I know who was the man that has raised me since I was eight and he is no Vader."

"He's already left?" Asked Luke, looking around.

"Yes. We said goodbye last night." She paused and continued: "Will I ever see him again?"

"Probably, yes."

She smiled softly and tied up her bag, closing it.

"My sister Leia is on the way here as we speak. I'll have to tell her that Ben's gone. And..."

"And you'll ask her to take me to the Resistance." interrupted Sara. "Master Kin told me that as well."

"And are you ok with it?"

"At first I wasn't. But none of my previous plans can possibly be fulfilled now that Ben's gone Dark, so I want to find out why he did that and, if possible, save him."

"Ok. I'd like you to come with me. We'll wait on my sister together and we'll talk to her."

"There's one more thing." Sara said as they were leaving her cabin. "I don't want Leia to know who my other Master was. At least not for now. I want to let her know me first and then I'll tell her myself."

"And about your relationship with Ben? She'll recognize the ring, it is a family jewellery."

"I know. That's why I hid it." She showed him her fingerless hand and pulled a chain from inside her blouse the Rol Stone engagement ring was hanging from it.

Luke nodded and they walked to the Great Temple.


Luke walked into his office and Sara followed him, closing the door afterwards and sitting on the chair in front of his desk as he sat on the bigger one on the other side of it.

"You'll stay in the room once Leia arrives." Said Luke. "Remember your training: you must hear and not say anything while I'm talking with her, as if you were my advisor."

"Yes, Master."

"Once the whole talk about Ben is over, I'll introduce you to her and ask her to accept you into the Resistance."

"Yes. I understand."

"I do hope you understand I'm not simply sending you away, Sara."

"I know. I thought so at first, but Master Kin made me see that I must join the Resistance if I want to find a way to help Ben."

"Or defeat him, if necessary." Complemented Luke.

"Yes." It was all she said.

Then knocks on the door let them know that their talk was over.

"It's Leia." Said Luke, getting up and going to the door.

Sara got up and moved to stand on the right side of Luke's chair, just listening and waiting as she had been taught. The door opened and a small and pretty woman walked into the room, dressed in what looked like a uniform. Sara had seen pictures of her before, Ben had shown them to her, but Leia Organa looked much more imposing in person than in the pictures, despite her short stature.

"Morning Luke." Leia greeted her brother and they briefly hugged. Her eyes found Sara and she stared questionably at him.

"That's Sara Antilles, my first fully trained Jedi, she's here as my advisor."

"That's impressive. Congratulations, dear."

Sara just smiled and nodded.

"She'll join us in our conversation later." Explained Luke. "Now, please, sit down. I fear I called you here to hear some bad news."

Leia sat and looked at her brother. "I know something has happened. I couldn't feel Ben's presence on Yavin until I walked into your office. What did he do now?"

"He took four students and left." said Luke, unceremoniously, as he sat on his chair.

"What?" Leia was shocked.

"Yesterday morning he disappeared. No one could find him. So we tried to reach him through the Force and concluded that he's left Yavin."

"But why? And where would he go?"

"I have some confidential source that told me he might have gone to Snoke."

Leia silently stared at her brother for a while and then lowered her head onto her hands, sadness filling the room. Sara tried hard not to let her own despair join Leia's.

"Why would he do that?" Leia whispered, after a moment. "He had plans... there was a girl." She suddenly remembered, raising her head and looking at her brother: "I am sure there was... maybe he ran off with her, for he knows about the old Jedi rules that forbid love and marriage and I know he had plans to propose to her 'cause he took the ring the Rol Stone ring, Luke. Do you know who she is? Couldn't he have eloped with her?" Leia looked on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Luke slowly turned his head towards Sara and subtly asked her to approach the desk. She walked closer to Leia and pulled the ring from inside her blouse, showing it to her ex-future mother-in-law.

"I know, with certainty, he hasn't eloped with his fiancé." Sara said.

And Leia stared at her for a few seconds, a mixture of shock and amusement in her face, before she stood up and hugged Sara.

"Why did he leave?" Leia asked her after the hug.

"I wish I knew. That's what I want to find out." Said Sara.

"Sara has decided to leave Yavin with you, Leia. She wants to join the Resistance." Said Luke.

"I want to find out why Ben left. As you said: we had plans. I can't accept he just left me and all of our dreams behind to become a Sith Lord. Also, he took my lightsaber with him and left me his. That's why you felt his energy when you stepped into Master Luke's office."

"That sure is strange." Then she looked at her brother. "Do you think he might have been influenced by our father's spirit?"

Luke quickly glanced at Sara, whose eyes had hardened after Leia's words.

"No." he answered, clearly annoyed. "Our father was redeemed in the end, I told you that a thousand times. He joined the Force, he wouldn't have become one with the Force had his soul been completely dark."

"I know. I know." Murmured Leia. "But there's got to be a reason, like you said, dear." She looked at Sara again and at the red ring hanging from her necklace. "I was so happy when he asked me about this ring."

"I was happy when he gave it to me." Said Sara, smiling weakly.

"I told him where I kept it and that he should take it the day he wanted to ask someone to marry him. I'm glad to see he seemed to have chosen well."

"He couldn't have chosen better." Added Luke, making Sara blush. "Although such relationship has involved a lot of skipped classes, if I'm not mistaken."

Leia looked at Sara and Sara felt she owed the woman an explanation before Leia started to think less of her.

"We trained together by the waterfall, that's all. It was horrible to train with all the others... Master Luke was always picking us two as guinea pigs. We were the ones who had to demonstrate everything and... I always defeated Ben, and that made him hate me in the beginning."

"But that hate was short lived." Said Luke. "For I remember that less than a year after you arrived you two were already having lunch together."

Leia smiled softly, looking at Sara.

"We were great together." Sara spoke in a low voice. "And that's why I can't accept it... I need to know why he left the Temple. I need to know why he left me without saying a word."

"We'll do that together, dear." Leia turned to her brother and announced: "She's coming with me."

"And I know the Force will be with you." He replied, smiling.

Sara hugged her Master before leaving his office with Leia. She picked up her bag in her cabin, taking one last look at the place that had meant so much for her, and walked towards Leia's ship, going to the Resistance Base in the planet D'Qar.
