All's fair in love and war

Chapter 14

Satine's POV

Where is she taking me? Satine thought. She was worried. Not for herself, but for obi-wan. Was he going to be all right? She couldn't bear the thought of losing him. She could handle the thought of him leaving her, but dying? She had to know. She knew Ventress would tell her. The useless bitch couldn't resist torturing her. So she came right out and asked her.

"What are you going to do to him?"

"Who?" she was enjoying this. Damned useless bitch.

"You know who. Obi wan. What are you going to do to him?"

"Ahhhh, so you're worried about your little jedi lover, aren't you? Don't worry, I'll take good care of him. A body like that needs to be properly conditioned. Of course, a little virgin like you wouldn't know that now, would you?"

"Shut up."

"That's all you've got for me? Surely a woman worthy of The Great Negotiator has a better comeback than that?"

She said nothing, but in her head she was firing mando'a curse words off like there was no tomorrow. And for her, there probably wouldn't be.

They landed on Darthomir. The witches' planet. She'd come here with obi-wan once when they were on the run. Whatever they were doing here, it wasn't gonna be good. At this moment, a larger woman, undoubtedly the leader of this planet, was waiting for them. She looked her over, nodded to herself, and spoke.

"This is her?" Satine tried not to gasp. When this woman spoke, she sounded as if she had many voices.

Ventress nodded.

"You do realize we don't need just ANY girl, don't you? Our sacrifice must be strong minded, with fire in her heart and her soul."

"This one is as such. "

"Oh?" the woman sneered. "Prove it."

Ventress dragged Satine forward. "I have no need. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've a jedi waiting for me."

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM! I'LL KILL YOU!" Satine roared and pounced on Ventress, clawing at every part of her she could reach. Then she got hit on the back of the head, and everything went black.

Anakin's POV

He was pacing, while Luminara calmly meditated beside her padawan, Barriss Offee.

"How can you be so calm? My master and the duchess' lives are at stake here!"

"I know, Anakin. But we must remain calm. If we try to take that ship while tense, we can hope to lose our lives as well as theirs."

"You say this even though you love obi-wan?"

"Attachment is forbidden among jedi."

Ahsoka spoke up. "That didn't stop master Kenobi."

"What?"

Anakin spoke. "Snips…"

"What? I assumed everyone knew about master obi-wan being in love with duchess Satine."

"He USED to love her. He doesn't anymore."

"Oh yeah? Then tell me master, why did he go after her ALONE? Obi-wan, who always plans ahead? Obi-wan, who NEVER goes into a fight unprepared, has done it for her. Face it, he's head over heels."

"Ahsoka…"

But before he could continue, a clone trooper arrived.

"Sir, we've reached the seppie's ship."

Dun dun dunnnn!
