* The Greatest Gift *
Forcing herself to hold back the pain, Jaina opened her eyes and found herself in the arms of a Yuuzhan Vong. Fear ran down her spine, but when she looked up it disappeared. "Feng?" her voice was barely a whisper. Was it possible that Feng and Kyp were both working together peacefully?
Her thoughts were silenced as the ex-Perfect answered her. "Shh… it's ok. You'll be out of here in no time."
"Feng? There is a whole group of warriors stationed on both sides."
Turning his attention back to matters at hand, he answered Kyp. "We head out in a dead run towards the ship."
"And give a new meaning to the term 'dead run' along the way."
"It's the only way to get out of here. Do you have any other ideas?"
The idea came both into Kyp and Jaina's mind. Fear spiraled down her back, and she forced out a protest, but her voice was so dry and cracked not even a moan came out. The last conversation came back into her mind, replaying itself over and over.
"I'd rather be the one to die by your hand than millions of innocent children."
"You'd die for those aliens?"
The racist view she was getting from him shocked her to the bone. Advancing on him she eyed him. "I'd rather marry and bare a child from one of them rather than you."
She couldn't move any limb to stop Kyp from continuing on with his plan. Jaina tried to scream at him through the Force, but the Jedi Knight heard her before she had spoken it to him. Dared a glance at her then back up to Feng. "Alright, fine. You run straight across with Jaina. I'll cover you. Once you're on the ship, go."
"What about y—"
"Just go. I'll be right behind you."
