Chapter 7

Dooku POV

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SHE'S GONE?"

"The duchess is gone, and there is no sign of Kenobi, either." My new assassin, Savarge Opres, growled. I could tell he was as annoyed as I was. After all, he needed to settle his score with Kenobi. Torturing his precious wife to death seemed the best way to make him suffer. But that wouldn't work if he took her with him. I couldn't help but wonder. Did he tell her the truth? Or just take her away?

"Keep an eye on the palace. When she returns and he leaves, grab her."

"I don't think that will be necessary." He smirked and snapped his fingers. Two droids dragged a boy into the room. About thirteen years old, with the same dirty blond hair and icy blue eyes that were common in the Kryze family.

"Why sit around there when I can make them come here?"

"I suppose you have a point."

"What do you want with me?" The boy growled angrily

"Does it really matter?" I drawled.

"Where is she?"

"Who?"

"My aunt. What have you done with her?"

"Your aunt?"

"The duchess of Mandalore. Where. Is. She?"

"I'm guessing she's with her husband."

"No. She's been kidnapped. Her husband was coming home when he" he pointed at Savarge. "Grabbed me."

"Why was he coming home?"

"Because YOU kidnapped her!"

"No I didn't."

"A sith cut through her wall."

"I don't think so."

"I do."

"Savarge, take him around the ship and prove to him that the duchess isn't here. And when you're done, take him to the cell duchess Satine slept in when she WAS with us."

He growled, and Savarge dragged him away.

Satine POV

I woke up in my cell, alone.

I shivered when I wondered why I was so sore.

EVERYWHERE

I already knew why. I looked down at myself. I bruised easily, but this was REALLY bad. Purple blotches covered all of my skin, making my body look like that of a grotesque beast. At least whoever had done this to me had the decency to redress me.

I think I'm gonna retch. Honestly.

Against my better judgment, I spoke aloud.

"Obi-wan is gonna kill me."

"No, that would be me." It again. I didn't know who they were, so I was just gonna call them it.

"Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"Your worst nightmare. Revenge. In that order."

"Why? I don't even know who you are."

"You were always so beautiful. So perfect. Everyone knew that. I even knew that. But then you let them kill me. You let the jedi kill me, Satine!"

"I still don't…." I didn't know what to say. I still couldn't even determine gender. So much hatred in that voice. I knew who it was, but I didn't at the same time.

"Hello? Hello?"

Nothing.

Great.

I'm alone.

I flicked my wrist, and something flew into the wall.

"What was that?"

"I believe that was you using the force." I didn't recognize this voice, so I assumed the worst.

"Are you going to rape me too?" I cringed at the thought.

"What? No. who did that?" whoever this was sounded angry. I cringed.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Damien. I'm a friend of your husband's."

God, I'm adding way too many characters to the star wars universe! But oh well. I like it, so HA! Anyways, with the new hints, WHO IS IT?
