Chapter 10

Satine POV

I am so sick of this! That's it. I'm outta here. I looked outside at the guard. This was gonna be SO easy.

"Hey, hey you!"

"Whaddayou want?"

"It's just, I'm getting so lonely in here without any company," I pouted.

"Can you come in here and sit with me? I'll reward you." I gave him a sly smile. His eyes widened, and he nodded eagerly.

Excellent.

He walked in, and it was over in 4 seconds

In the 1st second I stood up.

In the 2nd second I crossed the room in two steps.

In the 3rd second I kneed him in the groin.

And in the 4th second I snapped his neck.

And again, excellent.

I dashed down the halls. In the last week of my stay here, I'd been allowed to roam the halls.

On a leash. Ya know, like a dog.

Anyways, because of said excursions, I now knew where the escape pods were.

And that's where I was headed.

(A/n Whoop! I made Satine a badass. I don't see any of y'all doin' that! Haha sorry, just had to say it!)

I got to the escape pods with little trouble. There were a few guards, but I offered them something the bastards couldn't resist, led them into a closet and BAM! Instant ass kicking. Obi would be proud.

Not that I really care what he thinks about me right now.

I got into the escape pod and activated the controls.

Finally, I'm going home.

But first, a little detour.

Damien POV

It's been nearly two weeks since I spoke to Satine. I had been far too busy with my mission to see her. I had to admit, I could see why Obi-wan loved her. Her defiance, her grace, the sheer beauty of her face. I walked into her cell, only to discover nothing but a dead guard.

Damn it.

Obi-wan is gonna kill my sorry ass when he finds out I lost his wife.

As if on cue, my commlink buzzed.

"Hello?"

"Damien, it's me. I'm headed toward our rendezvous. Do you have my wife?"

Oh crap.

"Heh, funny story Obi-wan…."

"I have the feeling I'm not going to find this funny."

"Err….your wife escaped."

"She escaped."

"Yeah…"

"She escaped."

"Yeah, she escaped."

"HOW?"

"It appears she killed a guard and walked out. I'd suggest watching your back, Obi-wan, she's not happy with you."

"Why would she be mad at me?"

"I may have told her that you were cheating on her."

"You what?"

"I'm sorry Obi-wan, it kinda just slipped out." It really had. I'd become so lost in her eyes I hadn't realized what I was saying until it was too late.

"Oh."

"But it's not like you weren't cheating on her."

"They were whores, Damien. Physical release, nothing more. "

"And that makes it right? And what about Siri? And Luminara?"

"I…Damien, that's not the point."

"Then what is the point?"

"She could hurt herself you idiot!"

"She wouldn't."

"Not on purpose."

"Oh shit."

"Oh, now you get it. I have to find her before she hurts herself."

And he hung up.

Obi-wan POV

I can't believe Damien would do something so stupid. Honestly, what was he thinking? Not much, obviously. My commlink went off. Assuming it was Damien calling to apologize, I picked up.

"What do you want?"

It was Anakin. "Ummm, Master, you might wanna come get your wife…"

"My what?"

"You know, Satine. Or are you too busy with another appointment right now?"

"'Appointment'? And what is Satine doing there?"

"Trying to have sex with me, apparently. She doesn't think you love her anymore, so she came to me for attention. And I am so close to giving it to her."

"Touch her and you die."

"I know. That's why I'm hiding in the refresher. Master, how do you even leave the palace? Force, I'm having trouble staying in here."

"Are you kidding me? I have trouble leaving our bedroom."

"Anakin, are you coming to bed?" it was Satine.

"Anakin…"

"Coming, babe! Hurry up master, I can't hold off much longer. I haven't gotten any since christophsis."

The line went dead.
