Chapter 5

Kahelle:

On the way back to Revan's ship, I quietly scanned her mind.

She knew my name, sure, but when she looked at me, it seemed like she was looking at a complete stranger. Of course, it had been so many years, but she didn't even seem to know I had existed in the first place.

I gave up trying to find out what happened to her, her memories seemed to be blocked. Without a complete mind-link, I couldn't pull them forward.

Revan, Let's talk.

She looked over at me confused.

Sorry, I forgot, we haven't done this in awhile…just open your mind…pretty much…just think…I'll hear you.

Okay, this work?

I smiled Exactly! We used to do this all the time as kids. Remember?

Her face fell back into that neutral expression, I was starting to really hate that expression; Actually, I can't remember many things anymore. Long story… she looked at me with a cocked eyebrow Hey, why can I hear your thoughts and not anyone else's?

I sighed, I'll tell you about that later. How much farther to your ship?

Just up ahead.

We can catch up when we get aboard. You know, have some "sister time".

That'll be nice. This is the Hawk.

I looked at the empty field before us.

Um…where?

She kind of laughed; the others looked back at us but continued on In front of us. There's a cloaking field activated on the ship. Just follow me.

That would explain why you weren't shot at as soon as you entered the atmosphere.

I followed her closely, nearly stumbling as I stepped onto the incline up. As soon as we were inside the ship, I pulled Kimno aside.

"Listen, Revan and I need some sister-to-sister time. You gonna be alright?" I winked at him. I knew he'd be fine, aloof and quiet but fine, unless one of this motley crew Revan seemed to have gathered decided to do something stupid.

Revan grabbed one of the men, I think she had called him Carth and went to the side. After a few hushed words, he squeezed her hand and walked off.

He's going to make sure no one will be bothering us.

Good.

I smiled at Revan and turned back to Kimno.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it." He turned and began walking away.

"Oh Kimno," I smirked, allowing my mischief to glint in my eyes, "Don't kill any of the crew, 'kay?

He rolled his eyes and walked off.

"You ready?" Revan came towards me.

I waved my hand in front of me, "Lead the way."

She led me on a quick view of the ship before we reached her quarters. Her room must have been an office or a monitor room…definitely not a living area. There weren't any "homey" comforts, with the exception of the bed that had been added to the room in the far side.

We sat down on the floor across from each other. I stared at Revan, just taking in the fact that this was real. My sister was really here sitting in front of me.

It was uncomfortably quiet for the first few minutes. Now that we had "alone" time, neither of us really knew where to start.

I cleared my throat, "So, anything you want to ask me?"

She leaned back and crossed her arms. "Well, you never did answer me about why I can only hear your thoughts?"

I laughed, "Sorry. It's actually pretty simple. You know your bond with Bastilla?"

"Wait? Where did you find out about the bond between Bastilla and me?" She cocked one eyebrow.

"Nothing big, but it's not hard for me to see your memories…at least some of them…"

"Ah."

I continued, "Anyways, it's kind of like that. Except that, it's the Force that connects you two. Us?" I smiled, "Well, that's the funny thing about family. Our blood connects us. It makes us pretty much one and the same."

She smiled a little.

"Yeah, the Council thought it was probably exemplified by the fact that I was telepathic." I laughed, "Remember the time Master Zhar caught me . . ."I let the thought trail off as I saw the lost look on Revan's face.

"Actually, I don't … I don't really remember most of anything from before . . ." she sighed," Let me start from the beginning." She continued on to tell me of what had happened since the last time we saw each other well… at least what she could remember. Her fall to the dark side, her capture, and how she helped find and destroy a space station called the Star Forge.

"So, you don't remember anything from before you woke up on the Endar Spire?"

She nodded. "Some things have been coming back, that's how I found out about you. But there are still so many memories that are lost."

We both sat silently for a moment. "Well, I could help you unlock some of those memories" she looked at me skeptically, "Seriously; I can go into your memories and find the ones that are missing. We'll both be very weak for a while . . . but that side affect is temporary."

She looked at the floor, I know she meant to hide the next thought from me but I heard it

What if I fall to the dark side again?

"Hey," she looked up at me, "I can see your memories before I unlock them, anything I see that could hurt you, I'll leave it locked up, deal?"

She sighed, "Okay, let's do this."

I scooted a little closer to her, "Just calm down and open up your mind."

I grabbed her hand, establishing a physical link was necessary for this to work.

I won't let anything happen to you, I promise.

I closed my eyes and felt our minds connect. I sifted through some of the memories…lingering on some of her happier memories with Carth. It was sweet to see someone actually being in love…although she seemed to be unsure of what to do. I left those memories and delved into some of her older memories.

I fought hard to hold the link after the next few memories I saw. Those of her murdering people, both old and young, caused me to shake but I continued on, leaving them locked. It might drive her insane if I were to allow them to surface all at once. Things would probably be a lot easier if I just allowed those memories to come back normally. I wanted to focus on unlocking her memories of her childhood, her days at the Academy, everything up to what made her fall to the dark side to begin with. One memory seemed to jump out at me…one of the Council…and Revan…injured and barely alive. I could feel the rage building in me as the memory played on. I could feel myself starting to fade…my energy was quickly being spent. Revan was becoming weaker as well; I needed to hurry…there were only a few more memories I needed to get unlocked for her.

Quickly, I skipped through the rest of the messier memories, leaving them alone…I went to the end of the Mandalorian Wars and began to unlock all of the memories from there and back. As I finally reached the memories of our early childhood on Derillia, I could feel her slipping into unconsciousness.

Just hold on a little bit longer, Rev.

I quickly unlocked the last memories and broke our link. I opened my eyes to see Revan's face. She was pale. I watched as her eyes fluttered open to look towards me. As they finally settled onto me, my vision blurred and then went black.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was four hours later when I finally stumbled out of Revan's quarters leaving her sound asleep . . . possibly unconscious but okay.

I leaned against the wall, weak but still able to move . . . a little at a time and painfully slow. Finally, I made it to a large room; I guess it was the main meeting room of the ship. My knees failed from underneath me and I went to the floor. I pulled my self back up and tried to stand but fell back heavily against the wall.

The whole crew was there. It was the first time I'd seen the other five crewmembers. Of course, I knew plenty about them from Revan's memories but I'd have to meet them later. I heard footsteps coming towards me from across the room. Kimno was coming directly towards me . . . a mixture of his silly protectiveness and pure worry clouded his forest green eyes.

"Kahelle! You look like shit. What happened to you?"

I stumbled forward. He stepped closer and tilted his head in curiosity. My knees went weak again and I fell against him. He helped me to stand. "What the hell?" he held me back and looked at me.

My voice was barely a whisper.

"We . . . we linked . . . I hel . . ." I paused as my mind began to spin; I spoke a little slower, "I helped her get her memories back."

The Jedi looked at each other in obvious concern. I was finding it increasingly difficult to stand on my own. However, my strength was slowly starting to come back.

"Are you fucking stupid, Kahelle?!? Last time you tried to link with someone, you nearly went comatose on me."

I pushed away from him and leaned back against the wall, "I'll be fine."

"What about Revan? Is she okay?" Carth started towards her quarters.

I grabbed his arm to stop him, "Leave her be. She's sleeping." He looked at me almost as though I was lying. "She'll be fine. I wouldn't do anything to hurt my sister."

"God dammit Kahelle!!! Weren't you thinking?!? When you linked with Amanda, she nearly . . ."

"I don't need to be reminded of that Kimno!" I spat back.

My mind was still a little clouded but I overheard Bastilla mutter something about needing to inform the Council of Revan's memories.

One of Revan's memories flashed in to my mind, her memory of having her mind wiped. I had left that one locked. As far as she knew, she had no knowledge of the event. However, she was aware the whole time of what was going on. Of them forcing themselves into her mind, burying her memories, destroying the part of her that was Revan, reprogramming her into a Republic scout named Challe . . .I could hear her screams: begging them to stop, pleading for mercy, swearing allegiance to the Light: echoing through my head as I pushed the memory back. The last image I saw was of Bastilla standing to the side, the good little Jedi, watching the Masters.

"Absolutely," I sheathed, "I have quite a bit I'd like to" I paused, closing my eyes, gathering my strength. " . . . discuss . . . with them about what they did to Revan."

The fair-skinned Jedi seemed to pale slightly.

"You know what I'm talking about don't you." I stepped towards her, my anger giving me the strength I'd lost," You were in on it the whole time! For all I know, you thought it up!"

She turned away from me, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

I sneered at her, "Oh, really?" I pulled the memory forward, along with some random thoughts and forced them into her mind. Not enough to drive her insane, just enough to make her mind reel.

She gasped and stepped back until her back hit the wall. After a moment, I allowed the thoughts to dissipate. She shook her head and looked at me, pleading her case.

"Kahelle, you must understand. We only did what was necessary . . . more people might have died…"

I took a step forward, allowing my anger to fuel me. "That still didn't make it right, bitch." I could barely recognize my own voice.

"Kahelle, you need to calm down, NOW!" I continued towards her. Kimno grabbed my arm roughly and turned me away from her. It shocked me out of my concentration.

I instantly began feeling dizzy. Kimno started to say something, but I couldn't understand him, all of the strength, both physical and mental, was leaving me. I yanked his hand from my arm and started to take a step forward when the world went black. The last voice I remembered was Kimno.

"Oh shit!!"
