Week 3: J/TK
11. red
Tenel Ka's gray eyes flashed crimson as the lightsaber duel reflected in her watery eyes. She did not want to face Jacen, but what choice did she have?
"I'm your lover, Tenel Ka!" the opponent protested. Even though his voice was saturated with love, his eyes still glowed a piercing, haunting orange, just a few shades lighter than his bloodstained clothes.
"You're not the Jacen that I loved," Tenel Ka replied. The words sounded harsh but true. When she heard Allana's footsteps, the queen jabbed more desperately than ever and finally succeeded when the Sith fell. "I apologize, friend Jacen."
12. grey
Jacen struggled to tear his gaze away from the granite gray eyes before him as he felt the searing, cold look.
"You have a choice, friend Jacen. Be Sith or be Consort."
iChoose and act./i Vergere's instructions were deceptively simple---Jacen had to choose between the Force and his lover. His heart raced as memories of Jedi Academy days and his visits to Hapes flashed across his mind, only to be replaced with the vague impressions of the raw power that coursed through his veins as he confronted Onimi. He hoped to be both the lover and the Force's conduit.
13. white
"Well, lover Jacen?" Tenel Ka asked, bringing the Jedi out of his trance as they stood by each other on her balcony. Nothing was as peaceful as the bath of pallid moonlight during the rare nights when all seven of the planet's moons were full. There were no politics or disturbances in the Force and Allana was fast asleep. At no other time could the couple be so selfish and claim each other. Jacen was too fortunate to be able to sneak away to Hapes at such a night.
"Wanna hear a joke?" he offered.
"Be my guest," Tenel Ka nodded.
14. black
The man with the black cloak returned, much to Allana's annoyance. Why did he keep visiting? On one hand, she was freed from her mother's scrutiny for the next few hours, but on the other hand, his presence vastly disturbed her.
"Tenel Ka…" The man's voice sounded broken.
"Have you come back?" the girl's mother touched the person's midnight black robes. The conversations always started like that, as if Tenel Ka was waiting for someone.
"Yes," he grinned. "I'm here to stay." That was different. The man never stayed before.
"I hold you to your word, then, soon-to-be consort Jacen."
15. blue
"An unruly man," Tenel Ka muttered as she read the message from the Jedi Order. According to the Council, Jacen had taken up the Sith ways and headed for Hapes, which meant that he was about to become her problem. While she saw men as equals most of the time, she couldn't allow it this time, not when she knew of only one way to prevent harm to her worlds. iAnd heartbreak./i
A few days later, the red-haired queen allowed herself a rare smile as she collected the unconscious Jacen, now her slave, from her trap.
