Lilith's/(y/n)'s POV
"Are these really necessary?" Ti held up the force restraint cuffs as I guided her down the hallway towards Cal's room, upholding my promise to her.

I side-eyed her with a nod, "Forgive me for not trusting you, but you have every right to turn against me. I wouldn't put it past you to do so."

She sighed as she dropped her hands down, "I'm not going to try anything, all I want is to see my daughter."

"And you will," I pointed to her cuffs, "With those on."

We fell into silence as we continued on our walk, clones in the halls quickly moved out of our way - saluting me in the process, "You're greatly feared." She pointed out.

We turned a corner and I chose to change the subject, rather than dwell on the affect I have on people, "So, who's Ahsoka's father?" I questioned curiously, turning my head only slightly to catch her gaze. But our eye contact lasted hardly a second when she glanced down at the floor, giving me no response, "Don't tell me it was Windu." I insinuated.

She shot her heard back up with wide eyes, "Gods no."

I chuckled at my own humorous suggestion, "Then who? Why so scared to say it? It's not like the council can reprimand you; I killed them all." I shrugged.

"Even your Master?"

Now it was my turn to look away - ignoring the pain the mention of him brought me, "Yoda is thriving on a planet far from here."

"You know where he is?" She wondered.

I nodded, "Of course I know, I've known for quite some time." I just choose to pretend that I don't, "Now stop changing the subject, I asked you a question first."

She sighed, "He wasn't a Jedi if that's what you're wondering. He was a Togruta man I met shortly on an assignment, but sadly he was killed shortly after I found out I was with child; he was a good man." She paused for a moment and I heard a light sniffling come from her, "Master Plo helped me hide the pregnancy from the council, then when she was born - he pretended he found her in the lower levels of Coruscant. So that way she could be raised around me, and I wouldn't suffer repercussions for having a child."

I snorted with an eye roll, "Why choose to remain with the Jedi? You could've had a normal, happy life with your daughter - yet instead you chose to stay with the people who look at emotions and love likes it's a disease." I turned to look at her once more, and her eyes were already on me, "How is that a life for anyone?"

"Look where those emotions and love got you (y/n)." She shook her head.

I paused my movements, using the force to grip her neck; lifting her from the floor as her feet dangled and she gasped for air, "Just because I've learned a few things, doesn't change who I am." I growled, "I was manipulated and used - yes that part is obvious. But it was the Jedi who made that all the more possible. It was my lack of faith in them and their god awful beliefs that pushed me further down my darkened path." I released my hold, and she dropped down to the floor with a groan, "If I didn't feel the need to hide my emotions, out of fear of their repercussions - maybe things would have turned out differently if I felt I could be more honest."
