Mara awoke the next morning in Luke arms she turned over and tossed a smile
on her face as she thought how things have change in 6 yrs.
"Dam Skywalker only 6 years ago you where the target of my anger and wanted to kill you. Now I find you the target of my heart and want to hold you, ok and kill you occasionally when you get on my nerves" she said to her self laughing as she slowly slipped out of his arms and out of bed. Grabbing a towel she headed for a shower
"I can get used to this" she said to herself looking once again at Luke lying in her bed sleeping.
Luke lay peacefully in Mara bed but it wasn't all peaceful most of the night. As a visions of his father popped into his head. But not as Vader but as Anakin then flashes of the Jedi academy on Yavin IV destroyed all the padawans lying on the ground dead Jedi knights falling to the ground. A Red robed figure stood over the mass of dead bodies and rubble from the building with a eerie laugh coming from the figure, as Luke got closer to the figure a strange pain flew threw hmm the pain wasn't a hurting type of pain but one of emptiness closer and closer he made his way to the figure as he got close enough to see the outline of the hooded figure, it turned and faced him and at that moment Luke dream would end and then start over again.
Mara arose out of the shower wrapped herself in her towel and went into her quarters Luke was still lying in bed.
"dam for a Jedi master the boy can sleep a lot" she said to herself with a giggle as she put her flights suit on and leaned over to Luke and kissed him on the fore head as she did Luke awoke and opened his eyes to see Mara leaning over him her hair still wet from the shower tickling his nose as he reached around her and pulled her closer to him there lips met in a passionate kiss and embrace.
"Morning sleep well?" he said to her
Mara smiled and nodded her head
"Are you going to sleep all day or you going contuine my Jedi training or is this the famous Jedi lazyness training" she said laughing as she poked him on his side. Luke jumped up from the bed and started to chase her around the room holding out his arms and twitching his fingers trying to catch her to tickle her.
" oh no no not this time farm boy tickle me one more time and you will find each one of those digits of yours broken and crushed" she said with a smile as Luke stopped and thought about that for moment
"hehehehe ok ok let me go shower up and we'll grab something to eat and work on some more of your training since we got 3 days before we reach courscant and have to brief the senate and leia on our mission unless you can think of something else you want to do" he said to her with a smirk as Mara just shook her head and laughed.
"Dam I created a monster "she said smiling at him as he went to go take shower.
Taloonen looked over at Preen as he returned from some errands he had to take care of for the arrival of the circle, he looked very worried
"Did you get things ready for them" he said
"Yes there needs are little mostly just complete privacy and some weird chemicals and herbs. How's our guest doing" he asked as he noticed a robed figure entered from the rear of the room. Preen looked in his eyes and all he saw was emptiness just a blank stare like looking into a black hole
"Hello" Preen said to him as the man simple continued to stare off into space Preen extended his hand to shake it the man just walked by, but as he walked by Preen placed his hand on his shoulder to stop him but felt a overwhelming chill came about him and released his hand quickly. The robed figured walked over to the entrance and began to stare out at the crashing waves and the storm.
"He is still in a state of flux and will be till the circle gets here and finishes what needs to be done to make him complete and ready for his return.
"I don't understand why of all people they choose him why not just clone the emperor and return him to a living being" Preen said looking over at the hooded man
"Because to finally destroy the Jedi and there master Luke skywalker they must not only do it physically but also mentally " Taloonen said returning to his work
"Well whatever and however they're going to do as long as skywalker and those dam Jedi's of his and the new republic gets what's coming to do them is all I care" Preen said to talloonen walking over to a data console and began to check on some of reports coming in from there spy's.
Luke was sitting down by the commucations console talking to leia
"Well the mission was successful we managed to stop the production of the special spice that would have left the Jedi's powerless and we managed to free the slaves. How are the kids and han doing? He asked as leia even being far away she could sense a change in him
" there doing good Luke is everything ok?" she asked him closing her eyes trying to get a grasp on what she was feeling from him even thou she wasn't fully trained in using the force Luke had taught her enough to sense each other out and there feelings
"Everything is fine why do you ask?"
" it seems something is different about you before you left on this mission you were how can I say a Jedi master of gloom now you seem energized and full of life maybe this mission was good for you" she said to him
"Yeah better then you thought I found life and reason to embrace happiness" he said to himself
" maybe just getting away from the academy and everybody for a few weeks was what I needed I guess" he said to his sister not wanted to mention the real reason as he promised Mara he would keep quiet about there new relationship until she felt ready for people to know.
"Very well I look forward to hearing all about it when you return to cousrcant in a few days. I know han and kids will look forward also to seeing you maybe you can ask Mara if she like to join us for dinner the kids always like seeing her even han says she reminds him of his younger days" she said with a laugh as Luke put a smirk on his face when she mentioned Mara
"I'm not sure about Mara but I'll ask her but she did agree to finish her Jedi training so she might be around the academy more. I'll see you in 2 days" he said to her as they ended there commucation Luke spun around in his chair and looked over at Mara who was working out, sweat was slowly making it's way down her tank top as she continued volley punches and japs onto the punching bag.
"Thank god I'm on her good side" he said to himself as he got up walked toward her
"Well you ready for some training we can work on some saber training if you like" he said to her as she turned and wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled Mara always enjoyed anything to do with weaponry.
"Sure" she said to him grabbing a towel and wiping her self off and taking a sip of caf.
Luke walked over and reached in a bag and pulled out a seeker and pushed on a small button on the top as it began to float around the room.
"ok begin" he said as Mara ignited her lightsaber and held it in a defensive position. As the seeker begins to float around the room Mara followed it with cat like precision. The seeker let out a short blast and Mara raised her lightsaber to block the shot the seeker moved into another position and released another shot Mara of coarse returned with a block and another as the seeker moved faster and faster.
"Good now I want you to use the force and feel the seeker and sense it's action" Luke said to her as he put a scarf around her eyes.
Now make your self one with the force feel the presence of the seeker with the force feel as it moves sense all around you feel the differences as it moves" Luke said to her as Mara stood still for a second breathing deeply trying to feel the seeker with the force the seeker began to move around the room and Mara begin to follow it. With her lightsaber in a offensive position she began pivoting on her toes. The seeker began to send out a volley of shots Mara blocked the first few but then the seeker began to send them out faster and eventually a few got threw and hit Mara
"Dam it Mara flung the scarf off and the seeker sent out another shot Mara block this one and then she reach down and swept up her blaster and shot the seeker a small explosion accrued as the seeker fell to the ground.
"There!!" she said with a smirk
"Mara you can't let your frustration get the best of you it will lead to anger and anger will lead to the dark side" Luke said as Mara nodded her head as Mara knew what the dark side felt like. Being the emperors hand and being around the emperor she could feel the dark side of the side of the force and she saw what it did and what it caused and she knew that was something she never wanted a part of she knew Luke was right.
"Ok Skywalker how about one more time I promise to be nice" she said to him as he agreed and pulled out another seeker and Mara placed the scarf around her eyes this time Mara was dong a lot better blocking all the shots
"Dam Skywalker only 6 years ago you where the target of my anger and wanted to kill you. Now I find you the target of my heart and want to hold you, ok and kill you occasionally when you get on my nerves" she said to her self laughing as she slowly slipped out of his arms and out of bed.
