What if?: One Death

The Darkness in him

Maul was pacing back and forth. He could handle being alone for one day. Of course he could. His master told him to. His master even gave him a hologram to help comfort him. Oh, but how a hologram was like a ghost. They should be put together hiding from my Lord. My Lord could be here any moment! He could be there at the knighting!
The guards watched as Maul paced quickly in the room that he slept in with Obi-wan lasted night. They saw as his claws dug into his arms as he wore the grey outfit as sleeping wear. Maul snarled as he paced. The guards guessed he shifted.
He stopped pacing in the room and snarled at the door of the room that was locked shut. When he removed his talons from his arms, blood poured from the holes.
The guards were shocked Maul didn't even flinch in pain. They were watching the knighting from their little recording room and they had noticed that the knighting had paused. The Jedi were looking around. What were they looking at? The guards got up to go and stop the bleeding.
The moment they opened the door their was a large being in a black cloak. The guards were lifted into the air choking even though the figure didn't even lift a finger. It had just kept its eyes on the guards. With another moment their necks were snapped and the figure had left the room stalking its way to Maul's room.
The screens in the room showed that before the figure could reach Maul's room, the door had been busted open like the lock on the door had been nothing. Maul was yanked out of the room by an invisible force. The figure felt Maul's shift into being scared as the invisible force held Maul by his throat suspending the apprentice in the air struggling for air.
The figure kept him in the air feeling the rapid shifts through Maul. As the personas in Maul fought for control over his body, the invisible force threw Maul across the room causing him to hit the wall causing his head to slam against the wall.
Maul snarled at the figure than was tossed across the room causing another shift as his head kept hitting the wall.
Maul weakly stood up shaking scared. His eyes pleaded for it all to stop. He was thrown again causing another shift.
Maul quickly got up and charged at the figure. He was thrown again causing another shift.
"Please, my Lord," Maul whined and was quickly thrown again.
"Once my Master comes," Maul snarled and the figure frowned at Maul and threw him again.
Maul stayed down taking deep breath to calm his body. The figure approached Maul and Maul kept his eyes down to the ground. Maul sat on his knees not daring to look up.
"Hello, my Lord. Is there anything you are in need of?" Maul's voice was eerily calm and relaxed.
"Come Maul, it is time for us to leave." The figure said and started walking to the exit. Maul swiftly got up and quickly followed behind the figure. His eyes were focused forward as the figure spoke.
"I almost thought that the Jedi had killed you along with your Master, Maul. It seems that I was wrong." The figure walked into the elevator.
"The Jedi did not expect much from me after they slayed master, my Lord." Maul spoke with ease and his body jumped and twitched.
"It was difficult this time to bring you out. Do not waste my efforts." The figure hissed.
"The youngling and the protector have grown more powerful in their," Maul's voice stopped as his body jumped again. "In their time control me, my Lord."
"Keep your power over them Maul. Only you are the original. Your master put a lot of work into you, do not waste it by letting those weaklings take over you." The figure spoke calmly.
Maul kept his body as still as he could as his body shook silently as the other once locked and unlocked personas fought for control. "Yes, my Lord."
