A/N: Whew, took some time, but here it is...
Chapter 6: KreiaFinally. After two hours of searching around the Medical bay and lab, I had finally gotten what I had been looking for. I had found a plasma torch hidden besides the remains of the dead miner. Now I'll just go bash open that blasted door and try to find a way off this place...
Kyros turned around, ready to head out of the creepy morgue...
And nearly fell backwards, full of shock and fear.
The dead body whom the doctors had spoken of slowly sat up. She got out of the gurney and turned her head to face him. Eyes, covered by the hood of her long brown cloak and her face old with age, gave her a look of someone who was powerless and weak, but Kyros knew better. Appearances could be deceiving...
"Find what you were looking for amongst the dead?" She asked.
Kyros couldn't tell whether she was joking or not...But considering the way her face remained grim, neutral, and her tone was even and steady, Kyros decided that she wasn't.
"I..I..th..thought you were dead?" Kyros asked, struggling to get the words out.
"Ah, close to death, a little closer then I would have liked."
"You have the smell of the Kolto tank about you. How do you feel?" She asked.
"A...little dis...disoriented, but I'll live." He replied.
Something clicked in his mind when he realized that the voice that had awoken him was hers.
"I was supposed to be dead, to never awaken, but instead I'm here..." He started.
"You were wondering if I was the cause of your awakening?" She asked, cutting him off.
Kyros nodded slowly and stayed silent.
"Yes, I had had slept too long and was unable to awaken. I must had touched your unconscious mind while I was slept..." She paused.
Kyros looked at her, raising one of his eyebrows, giving her a look of disbelief and doubt.
"So...you are able to feign death and touch minds..."
"Who...Who are you?" He asked, still slightly shaken.
"My name is Kreia..." She continued. " I used the force to reach out into the minds of those who were willing to hear me, at least those who were trained in the ways of the force were able to. The rest fell deaf to efforts...you are a Jedi?"
Kyros didn't know how to answer...
It was the same question he had repeatedly asked himself for the past four years. Was he still a Jedi? Was he still allowed to think of himself as such? He had defied the Council's orders and Master Onasi's teachings. He was exiled… he didn't follow the code anymore…
"I…I don't really know…" He replied, looking away. "I was exiled…"
"I see." Was all that she said.
They stayed silent for a few seconds when Kyros spoke up, questions filling his mind.
"How did I get aboard the Ebon Hawk?" He asked. He needed answers, and he had a feeling that she knew them.
"We have already wasted too much time here." She said, evading the question.
"There is much to be done, we must leave this place..." She said, her tone dark and cryptic as she tried to walk towards the door, but instead almost fell over as her legs gave away. She was still weak from the attacks and her own near death experience.
Kyros rushed to her side immediately. He couldn't argue with her. She was right, the time for questions would have to wait. They had to find a way to get out of here first...
"Are you allright?" He asked.
"Do not waste your time asking me, there are much more important things happening right now. We should get moving." She said, her voice hard and bitteras she tried once more to walk, limping towards the door.
"Wait. You should stay here." He said, half because he still didn't quite trust her, and half because he thought she would slow him down.
"No, I do not need your pity, I am quite capable..." She said confidently.
Kyros just stared at her, Doubting every last word she had just spoken.
She sighed.
"I suppose, I am still quite weak from recent events...It will take me some time to regain my strength."
"Good then." Kyros smiled, "Don't worry, I'll find a way out of here...I'll be back to get you."
Kreia didn't reply, but sat down, crossing her legs as she meditated, working on regaining her strength.
We must hurry…Something is coming…She thought as she heard Kyros walk out of the morgue, the door closing behind him...
A/N: Atton will be appearing in the next chapter, so will T3. Now I have to go play the beginning part of the game to remember what Atton's dialogue was xP
Hope I got Kreia's character sorta right here, she's hard to write.
Well anywayz, Hope you enjoyed! :) R&R
