-- Chapter 4: Home of the past - Part 2 --
Bastila sat up as she was pulled into a standing position by Kay. "Come on, it's only plans that would ensure the galaxy's survival – nothing else. This is what you're looking for." Kay pointed to a chart besides her and marked one place in particular.
"This is why Revan didn't let anyone come with him, anyone special, right?" Bastila asked as she read through some of the texts, he had left on the table.
They described the ages of the Sith and Jedi from the past quite clearly and to think that some, even the smallest of these horrors still lived today was enough to scare anyone.
"I don't know, Bastila, I don't know." Kay looked at the young woman, "what are you going to do now?"
Bastila smiled grimly as she waved a datapad under Kay's nose, "these are the diagrams to the Republic's fleet, I'm going after him and nothing, nothing, going to stop me now!"
Bastila's eyes flashed red as she left the room, tendrils of dark energy residing around her. Everything depended on her choice now.
Even Malak hadn't been able to break her like this, and now she embraced the dark side, more fully than when Malak had tortured her. She relished in it and accepted the path.
Revan jerked awake, and stared around his quarters before he realized what had woke him up. A surge of the Force, from Bastila, a surge of darkness...
He stood up and crossed the bridge and looked out at the sky. He looked up at the stars for a long time and wept, tears running down his face.
"Bastila… what have I done?" He whispered brokenly, "what have you done? The power… you're losing control… What are you going to do?"
The tears ran down his face still as Revan reached out into the Force, into his memories and focused on one in paticuliar.
His father…
"I'm coming home, Dad, I'm coming back. Just hold out for me." Revan whispered, and wiped the tears away as he stared at the cold stars.
There was going to be trouble and this time, he wouldn't be able to stop it.
He smiled dangerously, his pain now pushed to the side; family reunions could always be aggressive. Revan expected nothing less.
Finally posted this chapter up! Sorry for the long wait to all you readers.
