Chapter 5
Satine POV
I woke up in my bed alone, and as usual, I panicked. Can anyone really blame me? I mean, with all the death threats against Korkie and me, why wouldn't there be any against him? He is my husband, after all. And a jedi as well. I jumped out of bed, ready to panic and send my guards out to find him, but saw a note written for me on the nightstand.
Satine,
As much as I would like to finish what I started last night, I'm afraid duty calls. You have to go see Serinia this morning. And for my sake, PLEASE GO. I'll call you as soon as I can get away long enough. Take care of my heart. I've left it with you.
I love you. Keep safe.
Obi-wan
I held the datapad close to my heart. It smelled like him.
I miss you already, I thought. I love it when he is here, but I hate it when he leaves. It makes me miserable.
I need a whiskey, but I'd better go see Rin first, or she'll berate me for drinking.
Glad that's over.
I HATED the infirmary. It made me nervous. At least I don't have to go back. I was given a clean bill of health. Good. I didn't WANT to go back. Med droids made me feel weird. Maybe because of all the droids on Dooku's ship? I don't know. I REALLY should stop rambling on in my head right now…..
My commlink went off. I answered quickly.
"Yes?"
"I miss you already. I especially miss the feeling of you sitting on my lap."
"Pre, you know I miss you too…."
"WHAT?"
"Relax obi, I'm kidding."
"Oh thank the force. I thought you were serious."
"No. Pre Viszla may have turned himself in to us, but that would never happen. NEVER!"
"Ok, Ok, calm down."
"I hadn't even started sassing off yet."
"I know."
"Then why…." I got it. "You suck."
He laughed. "No, you do."
"No I don't."
"Yes you do. I specifically remember you sucking SOMETHING last night….."
"OBI-WAN!"
"And you were screaming my name last night too….hmmm…interesting."
"When you get home, clankers are going to be the LEAST of your worries, Kenobi."
"Oh? And just what am I going to be worried about?"
"Another C word-castration by lightsaber."
"That's three words, sweetheart."
"But words that scare you nonetheless."
He chuckled.
"What?"
"You're so cute when you try to be scary."
"I'll have you know that I am VERY scary."
"Prove it."
"How does no sex for a year sound?"
"Absolutely terrifying."
"Good boy."
There was silence for a minute.
"Obi-wan?"
"Hmm?"
"When are you coming home?"
"In a month or so. Why?"
"Because I miss you." I felt my stomach clench in that funny way it did when something bad was about to happen. I tensed.
Obi-wan felt my worry. "Satine, what's going…." He was cut off by the sound of sabers cutting through the wall.
"Oh my god."
"What? WHAT?"
"Someone's cutting through my wall."
"Satine, get out of there. NOW!"
I looked around. "There's no way out."
"I'm coming to get you. Hold whoever it is off until I get home, ok?"
"I don't think i…I can."
"Why not?"
"I think it's a sith."
"Shit. Hide somewhere. Keep moving. Keep AWAY from the sabers."
"I'm not an idiot, Obi-wan. "
"I know. Just…just hold on, ok?" I could tell he was terrified and when I was about to soothe him, something hit me on the back of the head.
"Ungh…" not again.
As I faded out, I heard Obi-wan saying,
"Satine? Satine answer me. Satine? SATINE!
Well, that's not good. I wonder who's behind Satine's kidnapping this time. I'll give you a hint- it's someone who's supposed to be dead. ;)
