Chapter 10: Taken

As soon as Revan entered the Jedi Temple, she could feel the darkness surrounding her. She could sense its source coming from the training room, where Bao Dur and Mira were working on the druids, and ran straight there. She threw open the doors and saw there motionless bodies laying on the floor. She rushed over to them to see if they were okay.

She breathed a sigh of relief. They were okay, just out cold. Hearing footsteps coming from behind her, she ignited her lightsaber as she turned around. There stood Nelian and his apprentice Darth Lynden.

Revan glared at him. "What do you want"? She demanded. Nelian smiled. "I want you of course, my love", he told her. "I'd rather die you bastard", she replied as she went to attack him. "You do not want to fight me" Nelian persuaded. Revan stopped "I do not want to fight you" she said. "You want to drop your lightsaber" he persuaded her. Revan dropped her saber. Nelian smiled with satisfaction. "You want to come with me Revan" he persuaded her as he held out his hand. Revan took his hand, "I want to go with you," she said. "Master" Nelian persuaded. "Master", she repeated.

An hour later everyone, except for Carth and Dustil, returned to the temple to find Bao Dur and Mira just waking up. "By the force" Mauve said as she ran to her friends, "what happened"? Bao Dur sat up, "we were attacked by Dark Jedi. There must have been about twenty of them. Looks like they got the droids as well".

Bastila shook her head as she approached them. "It had to be Nelian" Bastila said, "He must have sent all his Dark Jedi here". Jahani looked over at her. "What do you think they came here for"? "I do not know," said Bastila, "we should get some technicians here immediately to see if the security comms picked anything up". Jolee nodded in agreement. "We should also search the temple to see if anything is missing" Jolee said.

Carth and Dustil walked into the room laughing. They noticed everyone's grim expressions and stopped. Carth looked around and noticed the droids were scattered in pieces. "What's going on here"? He demanded to know. Bastila went over to him, "the sith attacked the temple". Suddenly she noticed that Revan was not with them. "Where is Revan"? Bastila asked Carth. "No!" Carth screamed running from the room.

Bastila and Dustil followed Carth to his and Revans room. Carth was crying. "She's gone" he said, "All of her stuff is gone. Why would she leave? I don't understand she just came back". Dustil put his hand on Carths shoulder. Jolee came up behind them, "I do not think the choice was hers" Jolee said. They all looked at Jolee. In his hand was Revans lightsaber. "She would not have left this behind", Jolee explained.

Carth looked from Jolee to Bastila. "Do you men those bastards took her"? He asked. "It would make sense of why they came here, Bastila said. "Remember what I told you all yesterday. Nelian was in love with Revan when he left the order. Maybe he still is". Carth looked angry. "Then we have to leave now and get her back" Carth said and started to leave. Dustil stopped his father, "wait Father, we don't know anything for sure". Bastila nodded. "Dustil is right Carth, she said, we should wait until we see what the security shows".
