Well Hello there! I got the time and began to write again... school has been driving me nuts and acting... but I really hope I can start typing long chapters...I really want to hit a chapter with 3000 words, but what do you guys think? Do you like the length?
I plan on editing this chapter this week, so the next chapter will probably be out next week, so don't plan on seeing a new chapter out yet. Okay now let's get back on track...
You are now entering Lux (A reference of Suicide, Just warning you)
Vibrant colors of orange and red sparked at Lux's face. He sat scrunched up in a dark gloomy cave. The warmth of the fire heated Lux's body, which showed no movement at all. He was cold, lonely and scared. Lux had been brooding for the past hours, just waiting for a sanguine memory. His temptation to run, find a ship and get away was very high, but Lux knew if he stepped out there alone, the assassin will be ready. Ready to kill him. His luck was thin.
Why was it that Lux was such a big target now? He hadn't done anything to harm anyone. Lux's life was in jeopardy everyday. He just wanted to live a normal life, have a family and raise one as well. This dream of his was very slim, he would be lucky to even elude this hunter. Lux was a lout. A lout in life, skill, and politics, which were everything his mother was. He felt callow, like a kid and just like his father…
Yallert Bonteri, Lux's father and CIS officer, was obstinate in Lux's opinion. Yallert was a tall man, human of course. He had black, uneven hair like his son, and hazel eyes. In Yallert's mind, Dooku was his idol, a peer to him. Yallert was never close to Lux at all. It seemed that he was more close to Dooku than ever. Yallert was ostentatious, attracting plenty of attention.
"Count, what news have you brought to me today?" Lux watched his father, a loyal officer, kneel before to Dooku. Lux crouched behind the out stretched wall that gave him a vantage point. His eyes focused on the long brown caped man. Dooku's back was on Yallert, almost not knowing he was there.
"It seems, by my count, your family has made contact with a republican, senator" His father was flabbergasted. Lux and his father didn't believe in this nonsense, his mother never made contact with any Republican ever.
"This intelligence must be fake. You must be wrong."
"Oh, I do not want to believe this either my friend, but we must tend to this... mystery" His voice was not complete. He was hiding something.
"Still my family shows every trait of loyalty to you, and the Separatists, I would never do such a thing!"
Then Dooku's voice overpowered his father's own words. "Then betray them. I can't allow this to go on, your family is not worth a thing."
"But Count, I can't betray my own family. I won't turn against my son and my wife. I must not be complied"
"If you won't do it, then I will. We can't allow information out to the Republic." Dooku turned his body, revealing his dark black robes. His beard, shabby and grey with his yellow glint in his eye. His father stood in disbelief of this treachery.
"I swear. Neither my wife, nor my son would ever give out information. Mina swore loyalty to you and the Separatists!" He exclaimed, pointing his finger to the ground. Dooku swiftly turned his body back to the obscured windows.
"If that is so, then you must head to Argonar. There find the stolen information, and we will see what is left. In the mean time your family will be watched and examined carefully." Dooku ordered. Lux's father gritted his teeth and nodded, knowing what must be done.
After that day, Lux never saw his father. His mother told him he was killed by Republic Troops. Lux would never forget that day, but Lux taught himself that Republic was nasty, and a disgrace but now in his eyes, the Separatists were no better. He believed it was just a plot, a plot that Dooku conjured leaving his Father to die.
Damn. Life was no better than now.
No one understood him. Neither Separatist nor Republican would feel the same way. He was torn between to fractions. He wished there was an alternate one, but it never showed. At least there was one that did understand him, Ahsoka. She was prudent to him, which caused him to like her even more. They were a team, a team that she did not believe. He did not know if she felt the same way he did though she seemed to have felt the same.
He was ignorant with his actions though. When they were inside the Death Watch camp, he planted a kiss on her, a kiss that he felt dreamily about. Ahsoka seemed to be surprised but also indignant. He felt mirthless after those days, but also confused. Was it wrong to kiss a Jedi? Could I have perhaps gotten her expelled from the Jedi Temple?
Lux got back into his reality that was interminable. The night was peaceful, almost like home. But home was something he could not find. It was cold, quite cold actually. A frigid breeze punctured his showing skin that poked out of his torn holes. Cold was something he hadn't experienced quite frequently.
He had salvation from the cave but it was not enough to protect him. He was remorseful of ever leaving Ahsoka, leaving her and leaving himself. Lux would probably be killed if it wasn't for this cave. Any second a bounty hunter could snatch him. Was Dooku hiring hunters and assassins for finding out he had escaped his death? Or perhaps Death Watch?
The fire started to smolder, forming a black atmosphere. He breathed in the horrible smoke, causing him to cough. The taste of bitterness and mud was in his mouth. Life was hard for him alright…
Is this going to be my life, living in caves after caves, lying on dirt? That assassin should just kill me now. He thought of death, death of himself, to join his dad and mother in the sky above. Maybe the force would take him away, or burn him to hell. Suicide was an option. Suicide to Lux would be an escape from torture, sadness, love and life of course.
Lux closed his eyes, those dark green eyes. He wanted to fall in the fire, burn himself, or maybe find the assassin. He wanted his death to come, take him away. The night had just begun, and it seemed to last forever. The night of torture, provocation and death.
Lux spread his scrunched up legs to allow space. His mouth trembled and shook. His lips started to bleed. The eye's started to shake. Lux's hands moved into his pockets to grab his concealed knife. He looked at the blade that swiveled freely. It was sharp and narrow. He hesitated; drips of tears fell onto the solid cold floors.
He stared at it. The reflection of his face was all he could see. The dirt, the scratches and his father's hair was obvious. "I'll be there mum and dad. I'll be there." He proclaimed out loud.
Lux's hand forced the dagger jabbed into him, piercing his skin. He felt the agonizing pain and sharp blade penetrate him. Screams and cries were heard and blood trickled out of him…
Ahsoka hunched over the helpless boy. She was shocked to find her friend lying there, on the leaves. Blood leaked from his neck. Tears glided down her cheek onto the boy's precious face. Ahsoka had to be strong. In her eyes she watched the dozens of brave soldiers fall to the burning fire. Everything was bloody red. Red and Blue blaster fire struck the thousand of trees. Ahsoka felt hopeless, sick, and saddened. Hatred filled her, setting off steam inside her.
Her foes laughed. Ahsoka saw the glint in the witch's eye. She had failed, and was overpowered. The sounds of bombs and explosives rang in her ears. As the blast wave increased, sharpenels, used in bombs, split from the explosion at high speed, piercing the flesh of victims, followed by searing heat and lingering radiation.
She clutched her lightsabers, activating both of them and watching the catastrophe happen. Ahsoka's head tilted up to the blazing fire. Veins of purple showed around her eyes. In an instant she pounced in the air with her lightsabers following.
Ahsoka's eye lids opened. Another dream had inflicted her once again. This dream in particular was very real. Ahsoka thought it might be telling her something; fire, the body, clones dying very vivid but not vague like the other dreams. This was sure, telling the future. If this is going to happen, I must stop it. Ahsoka told herself. She sat up to realize she had only been sleeping for a couple of minutes. The dream felt like a whole day happening.
Ahsoka scrambled to get her lightsabers, which were placed on a stand next to her makeshift bed. They felt warm. She could feel the energy inside of them. Her hand hooked them back onto her sides, dangling them. A deep sigh came out of her, allowing her to become confident. Protecting the clones, destroying a couple of droids, were nothing. But somehow, it felt like this was no Republic verse Separatist. The explosion in her dream was not Separatist weapon.
Ahsoka stayed calm and left the room. The halls were the same, red lines that formed the Republic insignia was all around her and the beige color wall and floors. She was surprised to find Rex waiting at her door. His blue armor had been mangled with, and dirt scattered around his pauldron. He addressed her with a nod. "Commander, we are all ready and waiting in the hangar." He announced. Without a word the two slowly walked off pass the door.
"Good, is Master Skywalker coming?"
"No sir, just you and the clones." Ahsoka bit her lip. This was bad. She would have to lead the mission and cost the clones their lives. "Are you okay Commander?" Ahsoka stared wide eyed into space. She shook her head.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She was actually not fine. Ahsoka felt jittery, worried. Rex would understand, She thought. Rex was a trustable man, reliable as well. Sometimes Ahsoka thought Rex was just a regular male, hiding under a helmet, and armor. Rex was different, much different than his brothers that walked this very ship.
Anakin on the other hand was someone who didn't listen to what she was going through. He was confident, strong, and uncontrollable. Anakin could not control his emotions as much as Obi-Wan or any Jedi she met. Obi-Wan told Ahsoka to watch him closely. Anakin had been dealing with crazy outbursts and his uncontrolled rage. Ahsoka sensed he might have been dealing with the same thing as her, dreams or nightmares. Rex soon piped up. "We should get going."
Ahsoka found herself staring dreamily at him. She flinched, and processed her movements once again. She made off down the halls and elevators of the ship. Rex was left confused and suspicious.
The Death Watch insignia rose high in the air, waving in fro. It was made of dark blue cloth and black lining. The sun rose high up in the sky, enlightening the mood. The magnificent blue sky stretched onward to the hills and plains of the planet. All was well.
Next thing they knew, the flag was burning. Crisps of ash fell off, pouring onto the nearby people. The sky turned a horrible red, and the sun was covered by a layer of blackness. Jetpacks were activated and lifted into the sky, carrying the Death Watch Warriors. Explosions burned the ships of the Death Watch and the makeshift tents.
The sounds of battle droids marched into the village, fighting the ongoing Warriors. Some carried nothing except the armor on their backs. The Death Watch warriors ambushed the coming droids, before getting shot down. Many scrambled out of the way, retreating back into the sky to escape this treachery.
Vizsla battled it out against the giant black droids. His black sword, stabbed and sliced their heads and arms. His long shoulder cape was ripped and worn out. He was being overpowered by the blasts and laser fire.
"Vizsla, let's get out of here. Retreat back into the caverns!" Bo-Katan ordered. She lifted into the air, evading the supreme gun shots. Vizsla followed, escaping the near death experience earning him another vengeance to kill Dooku…
Dooku…
