Chapter 6: Forbidden Love
"What?" Kenobi asked.
Vunnae lifted her head, her eyes closed.
"Sulvae did her research and found Obi-Wan. He was at the top of his class as a Padawan. She knew he was the best. And I know from research that all Sith lords get what they want." She said.
"And she wanted me?" Kenobi asked.
Vunnae nodded.
"And I protected you as best as I could. She got me barely moving, and she pressed her saber down my cheek. Going deeper every time I refused to stop protecting you."
"Why didn't you stop her?" Jinn asked, turning to Golgotha.
"He didn't know. I went missing for five days. When I came back, I had the scar." Vunnae said,.
"How did you get her to stop?" Kenobi.
"The blue scars on her face aren't from lasers, sabers or weapons of any kind. They're from…" Vunnae trailed off.
"What?" Kenobi asked, placing his hand on her shoulder.
"Tell him, Jasmine. Tell him what you told me!" Sulvae said, grinning. "It can't hurt me now!"
"What did you say?" Kenobi asked. "Please Minnie. Tell me."
"I can't tell you!" Vunnae whispered urgently, lowering her head.
"Why not?" Kenobi asked, lifting her chin, with one of his fingers.
"It's forbidden." Golgotha said, stepping forward. "I finally understand, why you can't say anything."
Jinn's eyes widened in understanding.
"Why won't anyone tell me?" Kenobi asked.
Vunnae didn't answer him. Instead she whipped around and pulled her saber up to shoulder height.
"Don't tell him!" she growled as she clipped it on.
"Obi Wan, she lov…" Sulvae started, but Vunnae charged after her.
Sulvae whipped her saber out, and met Vunnae's. They dueled for a minute before Vunnae moved her arm, and knocked Sulvae's saber out of her hand.
"It's a forbidden love. It can't happen." Vunnae growled, clicking her own saber off.
"Then why can't he know?" Sulvae asked, circling Vunnae.
"Tell him and I will kill you." Vunnae said.
Sulvae smiled at her.
"I have also done research. You are by the rules. You would never kill an unarmed prisoner. Even if it does involve the man you love."
Vunnae glared at her, but didn't do anything. Kenobi placed his hadn on her shoulder.
"We must go." He whispered.
Sulvae took this opportunity to flip away and land on a floating platform.
"Until next time, Jedis!" she called, as she floated away.
Vunnae just watched her.
"Minnie? Come on." Kenobi said, trying to lead her back to the ship.
She ripped her arm out of his grip, and turned to him. She just stared into his green eyes. She took his hands in hers.
"I'm sorry." She whispered.
"You have nothing to be sorry about." Kenobi whispered back.
"Yes, I do." Vunnae whispered back.
"What?" Kenobi asked, placing his hands on her cheeks.
Vunnae leaned in and gently planted a soft kiss upon his lips. She pulled away, and ran onto the ship.
"Obi Wan?" Jinn asked, placing his hand, on his Padawan's shoulder.
"Yes, master?" he asked, turning around.
"We must go." Jinn replied, steering him towards the ship.
They climbed the stairs. While Qui Gon went up front to the cockpit with Damascus, Obi Wan went to the sleeping quarters where he found Jasmine in her bed, crying.
