Bastila ran all the way back to her room in the Enclave, Padawans and Masters alike watch bewildered as she ran by them, tears freely running down her cheeks. She had no idea why she did it, why she wasn't able to control herself from attacking the men, why as they lay in the grass crying in pain she had enjoyed it. Every time she came back to the same answer, it was because of Revan. The loneliness of her situation had never engulfed her as it did now, as she cried herself to sleep, in the inky blackness of her room.

She looked up towards him, and smiled as their eyes met. She didn't know why she did it, maybe it was the power he had over her, or maybe she was just so caught up in the moment. It didn't matter. Her heart was thumping so hard against her chest she could hear it. She pressed her soft lips gently against his.

Revan didn't push her away, but pulled her in closer. He pulled her in so tight; they were inseparable.

An electric current seemed to run through her entire body, it was so startling and terrifying, but at the same time the sensation was so pleasant she held on to him, never wanting to let go.

"I love you Revan"

He leant back and looked into her sparkling eyes. The last rays of sunlight made her skin shine.

Then suddenly it went dark. The trees and the mountains disappeared. Revan pulled away from her, throwing her to the ground, "I hate you. The very thought of you, Bastila, sickens me to the core. You deserve to be by yourself, how could anyone ever love you. Now wonder your parents threw you away. I hate you…they hate you".

Bastila struggled to get up, but the grass had turned into tendrils, holding her to the ground. She screamed, crying, trying to break free. Revan loomed above her, and laughed.

He disappeared. Replaced by the three men, "Can't protect yourself now can you, pretty?"

"Strapped to the ground, I always like it when they struggle. It is so much more…invigorating"

Bastila woke up screaming. She was tangled amongst her blankets on the floor. Calm yourself Bastila, it was only a dream, she thought, getting up and tossing her blankets back onto her bed. It was too quiet in the room, too dark. She grabbed her lightsaber, and headed outside.

The Enclave was quiet, only the odd Service Droid moving around the halls. Bastila headed out for the spot by the lake.

The sun would be rising soon. Bastila leant back against the cool grass. It seemed different at night. The lake seemed dark and ominous; the woods looked just as uninviting. Flickers of her nightmare drifted through her mind, and she sat up and pulled her legs close to her chest.

"I love you Revan"

He leant back and looked into her sparkling eyes. The last rays of sunlight made her skin shine. She was absolutely beautiful in that one moment. He sighed and said, "I could stay awake, just to hear you breathing. Watch you smile while you were sleeping. Every moment with you is a moment I treasure. But -" he had to do it, for her, "I can't love you, Bastila. You believe too deeply in the Jedi Code, they would expel you and you've worked too hard for me to let that happen"

"Revan, I don't care. Not about this, you said yourself -"

"– that to not show emotion, is to be like a droid" they both smiled.

Revan sighed again, and looked out across the lake as the sun finally disappeared and the area was cast into shadow. "Bastila, you're kind, smart, funny, beautiful. You have those eyes which – sparkle, like stars whenever you smile, and when I look into them I can't help but smile back, because I feel happy too. You're the only person to have made that happen, to make me feel this way"

"So do you?"

The sun rose above the hill behind her. She could feel the warmth of it on her back. The mornings rays, threw back the darkness that had surrounded the lake, and once again it had turned beautiful before her eyes, just as she fell asleep.
