Control The Uncontrollable // The Acolyte

35. Trouble

"The last few months you've been drinking yourself to another galaxy, stopped writing, god-damn it, you haven't even spoken to Master Sol after your fight!" His words were hitting you right in your face.

You couldn't help the tears from falling. You knew you hadn't been yourself, but you were not prepared to be hearing it from another soul. More than anything, you were not prepared to deal with it. You stared at the ground, not wanting Elzar to see you like this. You were vulnerable. Not only that, but you were weak. This was not how a Jedi behaved.

"You, Gios and Kriss drink-" You tried to mumble out.

Elzar shook his head. You were not getting his point.

"I'm sorry, Elzar," You whispered.

He looked away.

"Don't apologize to me, apologize to Yord," Elzar gave you back the scarf and began to walk back to the house.

Your heart dropped.

"Elzar are you telling her?" You sobbed out.

He didn't turn around.

"I'm telling her, I need you for an assignment," It was nothing of Elzar's usual kindness left in his voice, and you had no idea what he truly meant by those words. The two of you had never worked together, but you were relieved.  He was not telling Vernestrs. Slowly, you followed after him. You kept your head down. You knew your place.

A sudden silence filled your mind. The force occupying every evil thought you had against yourself. Maybe it was not too late for you. You just needed time. Time to figure yourself out. Time to find out what was your next move. Though your mind had a thousand questions, it was some things that appear clear. Qimir could not continue on this path. His path darkened yours, and though you didn't fear the dark, it was destroying lives. You had to take back the control for Yord. Suddenly you sensed a being, full of resentment and your eyes shut up.

Tasi.

She had been hiding in a box, underneath the ground. Yord must have helped her. When your eyes met, you could feel her hatred. Not for Qimir, not for the force, but for you. Tasi hated you. You couldn't blame her. If she had any chance of hearing what had been said... She had all the right in the galaxy to be, but there was an if. If she heard, if she knew, she would be a massive problem for you. Elzar came back for you, but your eyes were glued at Tasi.

"It's time to go," Elzar said, waiting for you to turn around and walk out first.

"I-I need to talk to her," Your tone was desperate, Elzar didn't like it. You tried to walk towards her, but Elzar was quick to remove you.

"Neither of you are in any state of talking," He said, pulling you out.

Shit, you were in big trouble.
