She didn't know how long she had been conscious before she realised it, her head was throbbing and she couldn't feel her hands. She snapped awake as she realised she was bound and gagged, tied to a chair. She was not alone either, an old friend sat watching her from avross the room, she glared at him.

"I wondered when you'd wake," he smiled and approached her, placing a chair in front of her and sitting on it.

Jerosh had not changed much since she had seen him, he was still quite a good looking man, the only difference was a few extra lines in his face, and a scar that ran from his left eyebrow to his ear.

He watched her as she took in his appearance and he smiled,

"Yes it's been a while hasn't it,"

He lifted a lock of her long dark hair and played with it, as if it was a fascination to him,

"Though you've changed you seem to have grown more beautiful."

She moved her head so that the hair slipped out of his hand and he seemed to remember where he was.

Ellsia took a quick survey of the room, it was small and the only way out was block by a containment shield, she could not use the force because her hands were tied and her mouth covered. She wished that she had used it more over the years, it was too faint to help her now, not in this situation.

"I'm going to ungag you now and you have to promise you won't scream at me," he smiled, remembering the Weequay guard, "It wouldn't help you much anyway, no one can help you at the moment."

She nodded her resignation and he removed the tape from her mouth, she could breath easy again.

"What happened to you Jerosh?"

"I'd say the same to you Major, I remember how you were."

He stood up and circled her chair, coming to stand right behind her.

"And look at you now, the end result of years of hardship. It's funny, you would never be able to tell you were once a sith."

She flinched and even though he was not facing her she could feel his smile,

"Oh yes Ellsia, or Aislle if you prefer-that is your sith name is it not?"

Her face hardened, "You should not speak of things you know nothing about," the words were barely audible through clenched teeth.

"That's where you're mistaken," he came around to face her again, a strange smile on his face.

"I know all about you, everything you've done, everyone one you've met. Right up until three days ago i've been following you, you seem to know Nar Shaddar pretty well and I lost you but your friends aren't so subtle."

Her heart jolted, "If you've hurt them i'll-"

"You'll what?" he laughed, "Scream me to death?"

He stopped and smiled watching her reactions, her put a hand on her face and traced the outline of her mouth, she shuddered at his touch.

"Such beautiful lips," he whispered, "I remember you know, what it was like to kiss you. You were very insistent you know."

She looked away, she remembered too, "That was a mistake."

"No!"

She jumped at his sudden outburst, the look in his eyes was frightening and the snarl on his face even more so.

"What was a mistake, was letting that alien live, I should have finished him off when I had the chance."

Ellsia was confused, "What are you talking about?"

"Your friend, the tech, you should remember him, you're travelling with him now aren't you?"

"Bao-Dur? but I-"

"Don't understand? you wouldn't would you? I loved you."

Ellsia shook her head, this was getting out of hand, the look he was giving her told her he was crazy and she was in serious danger.

"Jerosh be reasonable-"

"Ha, reason? That coming from someone who fell in love with an him! What would you know of reason!"

"I'm sorry Jerosh,"

He watched her and she sighed, "They will come for me, my friends."

"They already have," his voice was teasing her now, "No rescue for you, you're Jedi friend has already been captured by Goto, you were just bait!"

An explosion, the impact of it made her chair fall backwards, she was able to loop her arms up and over the back of it but they were still tied behind her. She could see smoke rising from under the door and for the first time realised they were on a ship.

"Where are we?"

But the man didn't answer he had a blaster rifle pointed at her, "Neither of us are leaving here alive!" he snarled and fired. Desperately she dodged out of the way and tried not to hit the shield blocking her only exit.

An alarm went off and her heart leapt, they had found a way!

Frantically she dodged the man's shots and tried to free her hands at the same time, suddenly the force shield was down and she fell sideways out the door.

"Ellsia!"

Bao-Dur and Disciple were racing towards her, she fell into the wall as yet another hail of shots came towards her, one grazed her cheek and she could feel the burning pain as she hurried towards her friends.

Jerosh let out an inhuman yowl and lunged for her, her yelp was cut short as her landed on top of her causing her arms to be stuck behind her back. Seconds later he was being pulled off her by the strong arms of her rescuers, Bao-Dur held him while The Disciple cut her bonds. She flexed her fingers and looked at the insane man who was still trying to attack her.

"Let him go,"

He was released, her hand moved in one swift movement and he landed with a heavy thud against the wall, he was knocked out but not dead. She could not bring herself to do it, instead she turned and ran, her friends close behind.

"Where is Caitlyn?"

"This way!"

Disciple led the way as they headed for an audience chamber in what seemed like the middle of the ship.

"How did you find us?" she asked as Bao-Dur sliced the computer panel, "Long story, no time for it now."

As the doors opened Atton joined them, he nodded towards Ellsia but was the first through the doors.

Caitlyn was standing facing them, her arms folded.

"It's about time."

Attom just looked at her exasperated, suddenly the ship rocked and Ellsia groaned,

"Can't we ever find a ship that isn't being shot at?"

"What's happening?" asked Caitlyn, "I thought Goto's ship was cloaked?"

"It was," replied Atton, "I kinda turned off the primary power supply so-"

"So every bounty hunter in Nar Shaddar will now be firing at or boarding this ship," Ellsia finished for him.

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Well let's get going then, I for one don't want to go down with the ship."

They headed back towards the Hawk but discovered the ship was already in an upheaval, two Twi'lek females were waiting for them and Atton groaned.

"Friends of yours?"

"Next time you should aim to kill," said one, the other smiled "Except there won't be a next time."

Caitlyn had had enough,

She looked at Ellsia who nodded and they both used Force Wave causing the Twi'lek to bounce off the walls, the battle that ensued caused a lot of angst as the explosions got more frequent. Finally the Twi'lek twins lay dead, though they had put up a mighty fight.

They reached the ship and boarded as Goto's yacht started to explode, they were not noticed slipping away and headed into hyperspace.

Ellsia sighed with relief and finally allowed herself to relax, then the pain hit her.

"Where to now?" asked Atton.

"Where is left?"

"Korriban or Onderon."

Ellsia shivered, they were both places she never wished to see again but knew could not be avoided.

"Lead on General," she said.

Authors Note: I'd like to thank everyone for their reviews and i'll try and find a beta tester to help me out just so it's easy for you to read. I only really put it up for a friend who loves Bao-Dur but if it helps everyone else.

In response to Prisoner 24601 thank you for the constructive critisism, I am going to write another chapter as a test to see if you like (and everyone else) like it, I will try to build up the characterisation. Also I created Ellsia because I didn't want her to be the Exile, I wanted her to be outside the group. Thanks again everyone, hopefully the next chapter will be up soon andI hope this one doesn't disappoint to much.

(PS: Soz it took so long guys, I thought i posted it but I got off the net before I did ;P)
