Christmas pt. 2
Chapter- Loya, and Training, Training- EXCUSE ME!?
Loya Duvall thought she was a good person, she had tried to be a good person anyway, it might not have always worked out into her favor. She sighed and tried to recount the past months. First, she and her parents were running in the park, she's taken Faith's bracelet the night before to wear at a party. That morning she had still been wearing it. The bracelet had started to glow and be freaky, Loya had tried to take it off but it fastened itself to her skin. Her screaming had caught her parents' attention and they had attempted to take it off, when they had been transported to a big, alien ship with tons of robots. Her father had said they had reminded him of some movie he had watched when he was a child, but hated.
The weird count had sensed something about her, or so he said. He'd been keeping her parents hostage as he trained her. Loya counted it lucky that she had been wearing the bracelet instead of faith because the poor girl wasn't really all that fit- and Loya was exhausted after HER training. As the months had passed, she realized her own parents were beginning to fear her abilities- to move things at will without touching them, brainwash people to do things, even operate a red bladed lightsaber as the Count called it. But, they loved her none-the-less and mourned for their other missing children.
Count Dooku sat across from Loya as she sipped water during his little teatime he liked to have inbetween training sessions, "Do you know why you're here Loya?"
It was a question he had asked her several times, "I'm here because the bracelet chose me to come here and fulfill the prophecy."
"Yes, the Prophecy," The old man smiled and recited it like a creed, one that Loya had memorized by heart by now, "At a time when good fights with evil./Two shall rise from the unknown/A bearer and being of hope, /A small token to give a spark./and the key to all problems./A spark to ignite the change/Both small in size shall not be lacked in power,/Separated, and on opposing sides/they shall meet again,/Pain and suffering for both, /The key shall fight the token/One shall die, and one shall rise."
Loya nodded and took another sip of her water, the count stirred his tea, "Your training is progressing nicely. Perhaps you would like a companion of some kind as an award."
I belong here... ALONE. Loya immediately thought, helplessness dragging itself out of her gut, if she was going to be made into a monster she wanted nothing of rewards, "That is kind but I do not see the need of a companion, Master."
"Ah… I see," He paused and then, light and easy as if it were nothing but a harmless observation, "You still fight against the darkness every single day," Count Dooku said, his voice almost like a deep rumble that made Loya's skin crawl," your spirit is noble and I appreciate it. "/But the darkness will have its way- it's a part of you and it will never go away. "
Loya squared her shoulders,"It is nothing Lord Dooku."
"So you say," was the only response she received,"You may visit with your parents now."
Loya's heart leapt for joy,"Thank you My Lord!"
Training, Training, Training, that's all I'm doing and its boring. Rex was a good teacher- when he wasn't being a di'kut. Cody was nice and friendly when Obi-Wan was on the ship with us. Whenever there was abattle I was confide to my room- the Council had wanted to keep me out of site and mind to protect me, but this place can get pretty crazy.
I was walking up to Ahsoka while her and Anakin were talking about something outside the training room. I heard the words, "Key bearer" and "Potential location" and I was down.
"Excuse me," I stared them both down, "You were gonna tell me about this, right?"
They both flinched and turned to me, Anakin had on a rueful smile, "Ohhh, Faith," he scratched the back of his head, "I was just about to come tell you?"
"Do me a favor Sky-guy and don't try to bull-Osik this," I snarled, then smiled sweetly, "When and where are we going?"
Thank you for reading, please review!
