(Imperfection's POV)
Alright, this is it, I'm finally going to confront the Council. Once I see them, I'll remain silent and accept whatever they do, no fighting, no yelling, just simply accept my fate. But I admit, I'm actually nervous about what's going to happen. Slick says I'll be okay, but so far, nothing has been okay, and it's all because of me. But some part of me was saying to believe him, a voice in my head was saying he was right but another yelled, 'Don't be stupid, you know they'll kill you!', so I don't really know what to believe anymore. For now, All I can do is just wait and see what happens.
"Just remain calm." Ashoka whispered to me. "I heard they already decided what to do." I don't know if that was supposed to comfort me or scare me. They already decided, so I won't have to say much, but what exactly was the decision? Kill me or let me live?
Then we all stop in front of what I believe is the door that leads to the Council. Okay, just take a deep breath, just get this over with. I feel Slick's arm on my shoulder again, I look up at him but when I do, I could tell just by looking in his eyes that something was wrong.
"Listen, I can't be in there with you." He whispered to me. I wasn't surprised, but I was disappointed, don't understand why though. "The Jedi just want to tell you where you'll be going, I promise you'll be okay and I'll be right outside waiting for you. Okay, Sis?"
'Sis'? First he calls me 'kid' and now it's 'Sis'? I wanted to ask him about the new name he gave me, but now was not the time for more questions. So I just nod, even though I am confused that he will be outside, waiting for me to return. But I really am grateful at the same time, I never knew that someone like him care about someone like me. So much that he'll be by my side, despite how rude I've been to him.
Then he pulls me closer and wraps his arms around me. I feel my face grow warm again, and that calm feeling returned, just like when I looked in his eyes or when his hand touched mine. I wanted to pull away, but at the same time, I really didn't want to. Then he lets me go, I suddenly get the urge to do the same, but I don't, I don't even know what the hell that gesture was, so it's bet that I don't.
Then the Jedi began to lead me to the Council, I honestly didn't pay attention to what they said, my head was still consumed by thoughts of Slick and his weird gestures.
(Slick's POV)
I didn't want to leave the Kid, but I didn't really have a choice, Jedi's orders. The only thing I can do is just wait here and hope she'll be okay.
"What was that about?" Someone said to me, I turn my head and Captain Rex was looking at me. I only look back at him, the he speaks. "What was the hug for?
I just shrug, to be honest, I'm not really sure why I hugged her, I just did.
"How'd you manage to convince that she can trust you?" He asks again. That question actually got me off guard, not that I'll show it in front of my C.O. I thought about our talk back on the ship, what I said to her, but I can't help but think about when he stared in each others eyes. I could see her eyes change from emotionless to calm, but their was something odd about the entire thing, aside from the fact that we even staring at each other. Maybe it's a sibling thing, after all, she is my sister, possibly the only sister we'll ever have during this damn war.
"No! I'm not going back!" A girl's voice shouted, definitely Imperfection's. "You can't make me!" What the hell was going on?! I was about to charge in there and confront the Council, but when the door opened, Imperfection ran out and bumped into me. We stared at each other again, I could see the fear in the poor kid's eyes. Then she hugs me, surprisingly tight. Poor kid, looks like she was about to cry.
I hear her keep mumbling something. "Don't make me go back, don't make me go back..." It doesn't take a Jedi to know what she's talking about: Kamino. I hug her back , gently, don't want to set her anger off again.
She can't go back there, not after what she's been through. "You won't go back. I promised you'll be safe, and I'm keeping my promise."
