Cal's POV
"Making it hard to focus you are." Yoda complained with a sigh.
"Oh I'm sorry!" I shouted sarcastically in-between my struggled breathing as I used the force to keep Lilith's lightsaber from cutting me in half - vertically, "I'll just tell her to give us a minute!" I yelled in annoyance.
Yoda breathed out a long sigh, doing his best to avoid looking at his daughters condition as he went back to his task of healing Anakin - which is taking so much longer than it should. But then again, I could feel that he was on the brink of death, and Master Yoda isn't a hundred percent right now - even with my help. So there's no telling how long this can take.
Also, my attempts to keep Lilith at bay are weakening. I didn't have the energy to keep this up because not only did I just get in a ship crash, Yoda was using my energy to aid him. I'm far from my strongest right now, and it's only a matter of time before my body gives in and she gains the upper hand.
Lilith aimed the pointed end of her lightsaber towards me and began plunging it into the force shield I created to protect us, "You think this thing will keep me out you weak little ginger boy? Your Master would surely be disappointed in your lack of intelligence." She spat as it pierced through my shield, and was coming towards me; but slowly.
"Then maybe she should have taught me better," I spat back.
She chuckled as she placed both hands on the handle of her weapon and began pushing the lightsaber further into my force shield, "Too bad she's dead, she's the big headed one I stabbed through the heart right?" She tilted her head as she referred to the murder of Master Ti, "What a shame." She taunted.
Her words, they made no sense to me; she spoke about Ti like she didn't know her. She spoke like she didn't know me either or that she was my Master.
Now I had a theory, one I plan to test, "Where was the first place we met?" I asked as I used the force to aid me in pushing her weapon away from me and out of my shield. But my strength was slowly diminishing, and I was barely able to create any distance.
She shrugged, "Don't know, don't care."
That could just be her being petty, I need a better question, "Who is Anakin Skywalker to you?" I asked.
The glimmer of love and longing I used to see in her eyes whenever his name was mentioned, was now non-existent, "He's no one."
"No one?" I questioned rhetorically with knitted brows, "So he's no longer the love of your life? The one you were supposed to marry?"
"What kind of mind playing game is this?" She furrowed her brows, like my questions confused her, "I have never loved anyone."
Tears filled my eyes when I started to realize the truth, when I started to see what he did to her, "Is that what you really believe, or what that old man told you to believe?" I asked and I got no response her, but her eyes said it all, "You don't know who any of us are, do you?" I asked heartbreakingly as a single tear slid down my cheek.
For a moment, she was silent. Her gaze shifted between, me, Yoda, and then finally to Anakin. Her eyes lingered on him longer than it did on us, then they snapped up to mine, "Of course I do," She spoke softly through her mask, before she started using more force, and I held in a cry of pain as her lightsaber singed my palm, "Traitors to the Empire."
