WRITERS NOTE

Ok I'd like to address a few things before you read the chapter. One: I've got this story all written and done. But I'm going to release a chapter every day or so. Also I'm working on a squeal already for this. Thanks for Reading! R&R if you can!


Chapter Three

The white seemed to follow Jacen, it wasn't just all around him, it was him. It wasn't just a color anymore; it was pain, pain, and more pain. He couldn't escape it, never would, and never could.

But why was he brought into the white? Vregere, the alien that brought him here, and put him in the Embrace of Pain.

He had once trusted her, believed he could trust her. But could he? No she betrayed him, and it landed him here. In the Embrace of Pain, this shocked him into the white. But that wasn't what pained him more than the sharp vines digging into his skin. It was someone's death, Anakin... had died... He knew it! He had seen the white flash and had felt him go away in the force.

Why...? He thought somewhere in him where that was the only pain there was. Why, Anakin? Why did you have to die?

He couldn't reach out with the force; if he did that Jaina would try to save him. And in the process get killed or captured herself. He couldn't let her do that for his sake. He wouldn't let his twin do that.

The white disappeared and was replaced by a marshy green and brown ground, it was like a greatly small muddy lake. Veregene was in front of him. Her alien face in some sort of twisted alien smile. "Death for someone in your position would be a honor."

Jacen opened his mouth to speak, but found he didn't know what to say. He than spoke what was purely on his mind, but his voice was raspy and dry. "Wh-why," His voice was merely a whisper. "Why did you b-betray..."

She examined him, as Jacen would examine a new animal he had found on Yavin IV when he was younger. "Betray? Did I betray you Jedi Jacen Solo?"

"If y-you didn't I wouldn't be here." He answered.

"That is a matter of opinion." She explained. "Betray," She scoffed at it. "Maybe I am just throwing your destiny a little farther then it already is." She turned towards him. "And what of your brother Anakin Solo?" She asked.

Anger boiled into him, and despair, but he recalled that anger and despair were of the dark side. He couldn't fall to the dark side. "I... He whispered.

"As I thought." Veregene said. "But Keep in mind everything I tell you is a lie." She said, and her alien smile disappeared. "Know this, your brother, Anakin Solo, is dead and he will not escape his death, not with you anyway."

Jacen was quiet yet again, that didn't make any sense. Anakin is dead, He knew that. But what did 'not with you anyway' mean? Escape? What did that mean? Was Anakin alive? No, he couldn't be, Jacen had saw him die, and you cannot escape death.

Veregene turned to leave and headed for the door and started to open it. Then Jacen figured it out. "Anakin..." He whispered. Than as loud as he could, just as Veregene started to exit he said. "He's alive! You said everything I tell you is a lie, then for you saying he's dead is a lie."

Veregene turned and showed a light saber in her hand. Anakin's. She than threw a light saber at a vong object on the ceiling and he fell to the ground, was Veregene helping him escape. She threw his light saber at him. Jacen caught it and ignited it. He than realized he was shirtless and only had the brown pants from his jump suit. She took a robe off of a rack of some kind and threw it onto the ground. Jacen picked It up and threw it on.

She threw Anakin's light saber into a vent of some sort. "Go." She ordered. "And escape, your destiny doesn't lie here. But remember this Jacen Solo; there is no dark-side, there is no light-side, the user is light or dark."

Jacen didn't bother to nod his head; he knew that was a lie.

He would Save his brother from whatever fate was coming for him, and make sure Anakin left this place alive.
