BITTER SWEET_
It was a night like any other one that they've spent togther for the last three weeks expect, on this night, Sajana had a horrible, vivid nightmare. Sajana woke up with a scream of fear and pain, tears streaming down her face. She pulled her knees up to her chest and held her stomach, her forehead against her knees as she cried, her body trembling.
Obi-Wan sat up quickly and rolled over to face her. "Saj, what's wrong? What happened?" he asked, panic in his voice as he wrapped his arms around her protectively.
Sajana buried her face into his chest, feeling him gently stroke her hair as he held her. That...woman in her dream. That woman had tried to kill her, Obi-Wan helplessly watching as he was being restrained back, trying to get the woman to kill him instead. The woman only walked over to him and said, "My dear, Obi-Wan, I want you to watch her die by my hands. Then, you can have your own feel at it." The ropes were already digging into his wrists, sending shockwaves of pain through him. Who was that woman who had tried to kill her? Sajana was confused. It was all because they had to do it that one kriffing night together! She shut her eyes tight, hearing rain fall outside, hearing the rain pound against the glass, a flash of lightning lighting up the room.
She felt a warm hand brush lightly agaisnt her face, tipping her chin up to look up at him.
"Sajana," Obi-Wan said lightly, "what happened?"
Sajana narrowed her eyes. She didn't want to talk about it, but, knowing Obi-Wan, he wanted to. He didn't want her to be scared. Scared. No matter what, she was going to be scared!
"Sajana," Obi-Wan said again, fear creeping into his voice. "Please talk to me."
"I had a dream where I was almost killed," Sajana whispered, tears falling again. "And it's my fault!"
Obi-Wan looked at her. "No," he said softly. "No, it's not your fault. If I had known you would have these dreams, we-"
"Obi-Wan, it's my fault," she hissed and pulled herself out of his loose hold and walked over to the window, her arms holding each other. "I'm the one who agreed to it and go through with it." Sajana watched as the rain poured down. She saw Obi-Wan in the window reflection as he wrapped his arms around her lightly and delicately.
Obi-Wan knew. "You're scared for the baby, aren't you?" he mumbled, resting his head on hers.
Sajana scowled, but kept her mouth shut.
"I don't blame you," he continued and shut his eyes. "Sometimes, I'm afraid as well."
"Stop saying that!" Sajana hissed, turning to him and breaking out of his hold. "I'm not scared, Obi-Wan!"
"Sajana..."
"No! Just...just leave me be! Please!" Sajana shoved passed him and out of their room and to the livingroom, where she sat on the couch, her face in her hands with tears streaming down her face.
Obi-Wan just stared in shock. He had never seen her behave in that kind of manner towards him before. Maybe to others, but never to him. He was getting worried. He could feel her fear through her Force Signature, though Sajana tried to deny it. Obi-Wan turned towards the window, looking out it as the rain continued to pour down. Obi-Wan stroked his beard and shook his head.
That was, well, unexpected. Just explode like a bomb! See what happens next! Review, please!
