Nimowaes POV

When we stopped, I started to pace back and forth. I was sobbing, breathing as deep as possible, but it was coming out sounding more like raspy intakes of breath than anything. I ran my fingers through my brown hair over and over, tear after tear running down my cheeks. I didn't even notice Aravis wincing and grabbing her side. Honestly, I didn't care.

I wanted to watch, but I didn't. If anything happened to him, I didn't know what I would do. He and Qui-Gon had been all I had left, and all I could think of was that if Maul killed him, there was no way anyone was taking me anywhere but to kick his ass.

Then, I finally decided to look, and all I saw was Maul use the force on my brother to send him into the Abysmal hole behind him and everything in me died at the thought of him falling down it and me never seeing him again. I turned around and put my hand over my mouth as I began to sob again, it took everything I had not to pass out. Then, for the first time in a while, I looked over at Aravis, who, for some odd reason being the one who loved my brother, looked more confused than sad.

She walked over to me and began to whisper frantically, her voice a mixture of relief and hope.

"Nimowae, he cant be dead, Maul is still looking down there, he's alright, I'm sure of it."

I looked up, and then walked the two steps across the cell back to the screen and sure enough, Maul was looking down into the hole, and I started to feel hopeful again.

Aravis POV

I stood beside of Nimowae and watched hopefully as my brother starred down into the hole.

'Please come back...please come back' I kept thinking. And then, with a stroke of inappropriately comedic genius, 'kick his ass.'

Sure enough, and to the great relief of both of us, Obi suddenly shot out of the hole, simultaneously summoning Qui-Gons lightsaber to him and cutting my brother in half in a single stroke. For a fraction of a second, I felt sadness that the last of my family was dead, but then I remembered who he had chosen to be, and the remorse was gone. He had killed Qui-Gon, and almost killed the most important person in the world to me. He hadn't deserved to live anymore than Obi had deserved to die.

Nimowaes POV

After Maul fell over, I watched my brother run to his masters side. And I suppose that Qui-Gon died in my brothers arms. We never talked about that day after it happened, none of us. When the screens finally opened, ObiWan was already standing up, still with tears in his eyes, and I ran to him and just started hitting him in the chest with all my might, which wasn't much at the moment. He wasn't even moving as I hit him.

"Why did you leave me?!" I screamed over and over. "Why?!" My hitting got weaker and weaker until he just put his arms around me and I stopped. Everything I had been holding in just came out, I cried because I had been so scared, and I cried because Qui-Gon was dead, I just sobbed as he held me, glad that he was still there to do it.

"Please dont ever leave me again" I whispered as I sobbed. "Please"

He put his head on top of mine, and that was how they found us, Aravis sitting against the wall holding her ribs and tring hard not to passout for the pain, and Obi and I sharing the greatest sorrow either of us had ever felt. The one man who had ever cared for both of us was no longer there, Qui-Gon Jinn was dead.
