Cia bit her lip as she looked down one corridor then another. For some odd reason one corridor seemed to make her more interested in it then the other. She chose the left corridor and walked slowly down it looking into some of the doors that lead to small rooms. Cia recognized none of the rooms but kept walking. Soon she came to another crossroads one that lead three ways instead of the regular two.

As she looked down into the left corridor the lights behind her grew dimmer as the glow rods powered down for the night. Cia looked down the left and center corridors quickly before the lights dimmed more. Fear creeping into her mind she chose the right corridor this time.

As she walked the lights behind her and in front of her were dimming and Cia broke into a run. Cia ran down the corridor quickly and every time she came to a crossroads chose a direction quickly and then began running down the new corridor.

Lucian knew what his Master was doing to the six year old and he decided to further her troubles. Smiling he walked down a corridor quickly knowing where she most likely would end up.

Cia ran threw the maze quickly as fast as her legs could carry her. As she rounded a corner she ran into her fathers apprentice (A/N: Literally.). Stumbling back she fell to the floor her chest heaving

"Oh poor little girl… I bet you want you're mamma," Lucian snickered as she glared with tired eyes up at him. "Oh that's right! You don't have one!" Laughing he bent over and tore the necklace she always wore from her neck.

"NO! Give it back!" Cia cried out reaching out with her small arms for it. Lucian laughed again at her.

"No. I don't think so," he said throwing it on the ground and stepping on it with his boot. "Now it's just like your mother… a pity you're to small to do anything about it."

"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" Cia screamed with rage.

"Doesn't everyone?" he laughed turning the corner.

After he was gone Cia crawled over to the ruined necklace. Picking it up she noticed the pendent at the very center of the pattern was still in good shape but the rest was ruined. Tearing the pendent off the ruined necklace she put it in her pocket and dropped the rest on the ground.

"That was uncalled for," Xaphren said calmly as his apprentice entered the dinning room. Lucian bowed and smiled.

"It worked better than telling her that her mother was killed by a Jedi, didn't it?" Lucian said defensively.

"I suppose it did, after all she did not know what the Jedi were… but she does know who you are," the elder sith said turning to his apprentice.

"She is a child, she can't hurt me!" Lucian laughed but his master remained serious.

"She may be a child now, but one day she will be an adult… a sith masked from being sensed through the force unless she wants to be… and she will be deadly," with that Xaphren left the room and Lucian realized he may have made a mistake.
