Shadow Demons

Aisling: Yay, I'm back with a new part of this one!

Yami: You've got to be kidding me.

Aisling: Yami, be nice to me. Someone want to do the disclaimer for me?

Ryou: Nods Aisling-chan does not own Star Wars, but the plot and any original characters are hers.

Aisling: Arigato, Ry! (Glomps him) Now, on with the fic!

Chapter 5: Secret Meeting in the Night

A cloaked figure moved stealthily through the cool darkness. His nearly-black eyes glanced around nervously, taking in even the smallest detail.

Suddenly he stopped dead in his tracks as he sensed somebody approching him from behind. He turned and watched almost impatiently as another cloaked figure stepped into the clearing.

"Is it done, Adrion?" the newcomer asked.

Adrion nodded. "Yes, my master," he answered, bowing respectfully. "The Jedi Master has been turned."

"And the girl?"

Adrion smirked. "As good as dead. I left her with the other Jedi. He will have gone into the Trance by now, and with that girl being the only one in that dungeon cell, he'll take her. When he does snap out of it, he won't be able to live with himself, and will most likely go into the sun," he answered. "A shame, though, she was quite beautiful. She would have made a very nice addition to my kind," Adrion added almost as an afterthought.

The other scowled. "We cannot allow anything to interfere with our plans, you know that! I want you to return and make certain that they are both dead. I've waited far too long for this, and I will not chance things getting ruined because of those damned meddling Jedi!" the other snapped, his eyes burning with a dark fire, visible even beneath the hood of his cloak.

Adrion bowed just ever so slightly, the gesture very nearly invisible. "Yes, my master. As you wish."

With that, he vanished into the darkness, just as if he had never even been there. The other watched him leave, a malicious smirk appearing on his features that would have made even the bravest of heroes back down.

After a few more moments, he turned on his heel and left the forest clearing. Yes, everything was going according to his plans. Soon, very soon, all would fall perfectly into place, and his plans would finally become a reality.

To Be Continued...Sorry this took so long to post, but my muses haven't exactly been helpful, and I misplaced this one for a while. (Sigh) Shtick happens. Sorry this is so short, but I promise the next couple parts will be a little longer. I'll try to get them up by tonight, tomorrow at the latest, because I have a couple days off from my college classes. I'll also try to update some of my others soon, too. Please, R&R, and no flames. Ja ne, minna-san!
