* Fading in the Force *
One of the Perfects wrenched her arm backwards to have the slimy tentacle of the Embrace of Pain clutch her wrist. Almost willingly, she allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to fasten her to the creature. Her head was still throbbing from the last session and she hadn't even noticed when the creature suspended her in the air, but she had been. The animal began to squeeze its tentacles around her. She felt only half of what pain had been inflicted on her, then it began to twist and squeeze her in odd ways once again. Her voice felt as if it had scars in it from last time from all the screaming, now all that came out was pitiful moans. Something warm and refreshing began to slid down her face.
A tear? No, they couldn't break her. Jaina refused to be another subject to their torture.
Then she felt it… no not it… him.
The brush of his touch through the Force had only been for a second, but it meant everything in the world to her. Kyp had changed, if not totally, more than before. He no longer had the same revengeful lust as before towards the Yuuzhan Vong. Plus, if anything would happen to her…
Her thought was stopped when one of the Perfects smacked her across the face with a amphistaff. The blow nearly knocked her into unconciousness, then the clear comforting hum of a lightsaber entered her ears. "K—" but she couldn't get out the rest of her words because the whip slashed her along the cheek. More warmth came to her face, yet this time it leaked out with an unbearable sting.
"Another Jedi?" someone yelled below her in confusion. Her eyes were bruised, and the Embrace of Pain was still torturing her.
"That's not her twin! Get him out of—" the Supreme Cleric yelled something at the Perfects but was silenced. Jaina prayed Kyp wasn't using the darkside, she was slowly slipping away from the Force.
Suddenly, everyone's words began to become jumbled and messed up, and then nothing.
