Rage's gaze darkened at this. He had used the term 'human' as she used the term 'shrag'. Apparently Drakahn was spending a little too much time with his own kind and was forgetting who the superior species was. Now you did it, Drak.. She though, a dark smile twisting her lips. I come to give you good news and you go and piss me off..
She walked over to Rehn's sleeping form and Drakahn's eyes opened. They were bloodshot and he snorted a warning, which she ignore. Rage lowered her gloved hand, touching Rehn's face and the filly moved restlessly. Rage removed her hand and looked at Drakahn. "Suppressing her nightmares all night? Why, you must be tired…" the mocking concern in her voice was not subtle.
Drakahn glowered at her and was about to speak, but his words died in his throat. Rage's mental assault felt to Rehn as though someone had shoved a white hot metal poker into her eye socket, and she let out a ragged scream in her sleep. Her defence mechanism reacted almost instantly and Rage shut down her presence in the Force. She watched amused as Rehn's mental weapon sought the only mind left in contact with her - Drakahn's. The attack was stronger than before and this time he was too fatigued to block it. His hands went to his head as the Force blast collided with his brain, trying to shut it down and eliminate the threat. Drakahn screamed in agony and tried to summon the dark side, but in his weakened state it was almost unresponsive. The huge stallion surged to his feet, then fell heavily to the floor as Rehn kicked and groaned in her sleep and then slipped back into unconsciousness, her mind shutting down tight again. Drakahn opened his eyes to find himself staring at Rage's black boots. Blood poured out of his nostrils as he lifted himself up on his elbow. Anger and pain racked his tired body. "You Sith bitch" he snarled "....if you've destroyed the work I have done...."
Rage gave him a shove with her boot, forcing him over on his back. He looked up at her as she knelt on his massive, heaving chest. A gloved hand reaching down and smearing the blood off his muzzle over his face. "Don't worry. She caught my scent before I attacked her. She'll associate it with me and not her dear, sweet master." She tickled his bloody chin playfully and smiled "You'll be happy to know I've been called away to deal with a matter on a nearby planet. I won't be gone long."
She got off him but stayed crouched at his shoulder, her arms resting on her bent knees, her left glove dripping with his blood. "Don't miss me too much while I'm gone, beast." she stood and stepped over him, heading for the cell door and left without another word.
Davin Felth had pulled that night's watch and had witnessed the altercation between the enforcers through the wide open door. He hurriedly got out of Lady Vader's way as she left, leaving the injured Drakahn bleeding on the floor and he prayed that Alliance Intel had received his highly coded transmission. The Rehn that slept in the cell was not the same one who had tried to throw him off as he'd tried to restrain her on arrival here, and he knew time was running out.
