Amari looked like a frightened doe as she stared at her sister from a good distance away. She then looked down at Anakin who was obviously hurt. She reasoned that she needed to draw her sister away from him to give him a chance to get away or at least so he wouldn't get hurt. She was terrified even though she knew she shouldn't be.
"Sister, you quake is it because perhaps I am stronger than you?" Lamari spoke as she noticed Amari's shaking knees. She shook her head and sighed as she tightened the grip. She couldn't attack first it was Jedi law you are to defend only and never attack first. "You want to attack me, yet you do not, it is your stupid code that protects me," Lamari continued as she took a step forward. Amari could already feel that there was going to be a bruise on her throat. Lamari took another step closer this time in Anakin's direction. She then to two more steps, Anakin was still unable to move he had bruised a vertebrae and it hurt too much. Lamari then lunged forward with her light saber.
"No!" Amari shrieked as she held out her hand towards Anakin. The red glow of Lamari's light saber instantly ceased. "If you want a fight, fight me, do not hurt the boy"
"He is more a man than you are a woman, young Amari," Lamari boasted as she stepped away from Anakin. "Is he not, you are a still a child" Amari sighed, she knew exactly what Lamari was trying to do, she wanted her to become angry and attack first but she refused and instead she turned off her light saber and put it away on the belt at her hip. This made Lamari angry, and she ran at Amari with her light saber drawn. She held out her and her light saber flew to her palm and she instantly countered Lamari's attack.
Anakin watched as Lamari nearly over powered Amari with attacks. The sight was astounding but it caused people to panic and run away. Their screams were deafening as though something was happening to them though it wasn't. Amari was nearly attacked several times but she evaded all attempt near to flawlessly.
"I thought you were better than Master Yoda?" Lamari said mockingly as she backed her sister into the corner. She took her left hand off of the handle and held it out. Anakin's light saber skidded across the cobble stone and into her hand. It glowed blue as she smiled at Lamari.
"I do not think so, but that is what I have been told" she responded as Lamari went to attack her and she defended again. Then it was Lamari's turn to be backed into the corner. Lamari cornered lashed out with the force and knocked Amari to the ground. She toppled over and Anakin's light saber skidded across the ground far out of reach.
"I have not been sent to kill you, I have been sent to ask you to join us, sister, the dark circle has powerful allies, you would almost instantly be pardoned for your escape if you joined, join me and we can end this" Lamari's appearance instantly changed from attacker to concerned sister. Amari however refused to buy the farce.
"And if I do not?" Amari asked as she looked up at her sister. Lamari's appearance changed and again she wore the guise of the attacker.
"Then there will be more pain" she spoke in an even tone as she watched Amari warily. Amari then nodded and pushed Lamari back and held her left hand out again. Anakin's light saber landed in Amari's hand again and both of them lit up.
"Are you aware, sister that if I really wanted to I could kill you right now, and the only thing that is stopping me is because I am a Jedi, and I was raised by Jedi, as were you, I just need to know what made you want to cross over?" she spoke as she looked up at the sky. The sun was low; they had been fighting for a while yet neither was tired.
"A Jedi shall not know anger, hate, fear or love" Lamari spoke as she looked at her sister who slowly lowered hers. Amari was suddenly aware of her feelings for Anakin. She shook her head as her sister ran at her. The fighting started again, they exchanged blow for blow until Amari started moving faster and she made a small cut on Lamari's arm. Lamari paused and looked at her arm she then held her hand out to cause the fountain statue of which Anakin was lying under to start to fall. Amari Dropped Anakin's light saber and held her hand out to stop it from falling.
"An eye for an eye" Lamari repeated as she made an almost identical cut on Amari who was struggling to keep the fountain statue from falling. She then ran off leaving Amari to settle the statue on her own. She sighed and ran over to Anakin.
"Are you alright?" She asked as she knelt beside him. He nodded him even though it pained him to do it. He nodded.
"It just hurts when I try to stand" he said as he looked up at her. She was in disarray her hair was no longer in it's neat bun and a bruise was starting to form on her neck. There was blood in the corner of her mouth. As well as bruises forming on her arms. She stood and held her hand out to him.
"They are probably worried about us now," Amari said as Anakin too her hand and she helped pull him up.
"Who?" Anakin inquired as he watched her walk ahead the slightly sharp pain in his back had died away almost.
"The people at the villa, we probably missed Senator Padmè." She said as they walked towards the villa, the fatigue and exhaustion was just now settling into Amari's bones.
"Padmé's a senator now? That is amazing" Anakin said as they made their way down the cobble stone road. Amari stopped, picked up her robe, looked at him and nodded. Something puzzled him as he looked at her "What is the dark Circle?" he asked as Amari paused for a moment. When Lamari said it, it sounded familiar though she couldn't place where she had heard it all she knew was that it had something to do with the Sith.
"I really do not know, Ani" she said as she stood on the lift and Anakin followed. "I really do not know" she repeated shaking her head almost amazed that she couldn't place it.
