Chapter 4: Crazy Jedi
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
"AND WHY'S THAT? IS IT BECAUSE I'M A GIRL TO YOU?
"YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND! CRAZY, BLINKING CHARIGNG OFF TO THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE THAN SOME CRAZY ADVENTURE LIKE REVAN."
"HOW ABOUT WHEN YOU WNET WITH MY FATHER ON HIS CRAZY TRIPS? NOW WHO'S CRAZY?"
"How long have they been fighting like that?" Ti looked over at Neil who shook his head, "ever since Triss started speaking to Mandalore. For hours…"
"They're what!" Another shout echoed down the corridor as Eileen, Mandalore's wife came storming down the hallway and right into the room where Canderous and Triss where yelling at each other.
Triss still hooked up to the much needed medical equipment, sat in her hover chair; Canderous stood in front of her, his hands on his hips and face red.
"What the hell do you two think you're doing?" Eileen didn't have to yell as loud as the other two had been as she pulled Triss towards the bed and swiftly lowered the injured girl onto the mattress softly.
She then turned around and pushed Canderous into his desk, where he sat like a sullen teenager.
Bustling around the room, Eileen soon had food being prepared for the three of them, sent Ti to find Alden and bring him to her and turned her attentions back to Triss' condition.
The young woman may have the Force and was Bastila and Revan's daughter, but her condition was weakening and Triss was going to slip into a comma soon, if something wasn't done.
"What are you doing?" Triss whispered as she watched Eileen fix a drink for her.
"I'm giving you some soup, now drink it." Eileen ordered firmly, slipping her arm behind Triss' back as she supported the girl and helped her drink the soup.
Soon the young Jedi was sound asleep and Eileen turned to stare at her husband with a fixed look.
Canderous wilted under her stare and sighed, "It's not what it looks like."
Eileen smiled tightly at her husband and gripped his arm tightly, "well you better tell me what it was, because I am going to be told everything." There was no humour in her voice.
Alden and his friends sat by Triss' side now that Canderous and his wife had the room, leaving instructions for them to keep Triss in bed and even to sedate her if they had to.
So far and luckily, Alden reflected, they hadn't had to sedate Triss yet.
The next day, Eileen brought in a young man to see Triss. He was older than her, old enough to be close to her father's age and he was handsome.
Triss did not need to be told that he was taken and that aside, she had her own love even if he did not know it. Triss glared at the intruder with harsh baleful eyes and looked at Eileen bitterly.
"No thanks, I already have a lover."
Eileen sighed, "Triss as much as I admire your stubbornness, it is going to get you killed one day. And Garret here is no more than one who traveled with your father recent more so than you are his daughter and only daughter at that."
Garret looked startled, "Revan's daughter he spoke of?"
Triss was equally speechless, "He traveled with my father recently?"
Eileen smiled and shook her head as she left the room, "I'm sure you two will have much to talk about. Perhaps you may be able to help each other, hmm?"
Canderous stared at his wife when she entered the room, who was grinning like a cat as she happily planted a kiss on his check and made herself comfortable in their bed.
"You brought Garret to her, didn't you?" He accused, taking in her lithe body, dressed in a light gown, prepared for bed.
"Yes and I didn't say anything, I only brought Garret to her in hopes that maybe they could help each other out."
Canderous growled softly as Eileen pulled him down on top of her; "you should not have meddled in Revan's business. His plans are made for a reason."
"Hush, love..." Eileen placed her fingers on his lips. "What is done is done and can not be unmade."
Triss stared at Garret with hard cold eyes, "Then you agree? It is done and done?"
Garret nodded, "tomorrow we will steal you away and I will show you where Revan was last and no more. I must train anyone who will be trained in preparing for what lies in the future."
Triss nodded as he stood and called out to him before he had exited the door. "Garret, if you break the pact, I will kill you. Not in body, but your soul, remember that …cousin."
Garret nodded and shuddered after he left the room. Back there she had sounded so much like her father, and he could see the anger, betrayal, hurt and confusion in her eyes.
Garret only hoped that Revan was ready to face his daughter.
It's short, but the next chapter will be longer next time. Please Read and Review!
