I don't own Jedi Apprentice.
Obi-Wan perked his head up. A lump formed in his throat as he felt a disturbance in the force. Something powerful and important had left it. Qui-Gon let out a cry from the other room.
Tahl.
His feet barely touched the floor as he ran to Tahl.
Her body was now a corpse, wearing the faintest of smiles. Qui-Gon's forehead was pressed against her in agony and grief.
He had loved HER. HIS Tahl, the one he had confessed his feelings to, and months before him!
She knew how he felt, but she didn't even say goodbye. It felt like betrayal.
He said something vague to Qui-Gon, unable to remember the words tumbling out of his mouth.
"There is no hope for me now," Qui-Gon had said in the same haze as he. "There is only revenge."
Tahl was very dear to Obi-Wan. He would mourn her all his life. If Qui-Gon wanted revenge, he could have it. Obi-Wan would not go down that path. He had seen it before, when Cerasi had died.
But let Qui-Gon learn that himself.
Last chapter. Sorry if anyone was mad Tahl had died. It was my original intention, but I might possible re-write this someday. No time soon, however.
Review, please.
