The Sound of Revenge
Chapter 24
Death
"Come on, Hunter! This beer is great! I mean, it doesn't feel like I'm drunk at all!"
"Um, yeah. Thats only one beer you've had."
Rotiart was sitting down in the co-pilots chair drinking down his ale. "So? Doesn't mean you can't get drunk."
Hunter ignored him.
"Come on, Hunt. If you're still thinking about that girl, I'd just give it all up. I mean, you're not going to find her."
Hunter looked at him. "I'm not going to find her?" He growled.
"Well, she's somewhere you don't know..."
"She's on Sorforst."
"How do you know?"
"I just do, okay?" Hunter snapped.
"Zoey told you?"
"Yeah, she was there. Why are you getting so suspicious anyways?"
"Oh, I am. It's that darn ale."
"Sure."
Rotiart finished the first bottle, then reached for a second one. "So Hunter, what is it like having a mom and dad? I mean, having a family."
"My dad is awesome and my mother passed away 10 years ago."
"I'm sorry."
"Thanks. But why do you want to know about my family?"
"I was just wondering what it was like."
"Yeah, but why?"
"My parents died when I was born. They wern't really expecting me to come, and so when I was born, it was at a horrible time."
"Where were you born?"
"Tatooine."
"That explains it."
"Do you have any siblings?"
"Yeah."
"Who?"
Hunter looked at him like he didn't want to talk about it. The longer Hunter staired, the more uncomforatable Rotiart got.
"Nevermind. So what happend to your mom?"
Hunter didn't answer.
"Um, what's your dad like?"
"I don't talk to him anymore. He's to busy with the admiral stuff."
"Admiral?"
"Admiral of Telos."
"I heard that place was attacked by the Sith."
"It was. By the way, I wasn't offended by the sibling question, or about my mom. I did have a step-brother. He never really like me or my mom. He thought of my mom as a replacement. He hired a mercinary to assasinate my mom."
"Let me guess, that didn't work."
"No, it didn't. So my mother was put into to trial because she was acused of murder." Hunters gaze fell to his lap. "Since my brother was the only one who witnessed it, he told the judge a lie. She was almost put to death before Andria saved her."
"What happend after that?"
"I never thought he would win, but he did." Hunter took a deep breath. "And so he used Jedi mind-tricks and tricked me into killing her." Hunter looked back up to Rotiart. "I killed my mom."
"Well, you didn't really kill your mom. It was your brother who tricked you to do that."
"Yeah. But I saw everything that happend. It all flashed before my eyes. I saw my mom die and I couldn't block it all out."
There was silence for awhile before Hunter asked Rotiart, "You probably won't know this, but did you have any siblings?"
"Actually I did. Her name was Cindy. She was the one who took care of me after our parents died."
"What happend to her?"
"Died." Rotiart said quickly. "The Sith took both of us, they let me go, but not her."
"I'm sorry."
"Life can be crule, Hunt. But sometimes you've got to deal with it."
"I know."
