What if?: One Death

Jealousy part 2

Obi-wan smiled when he saw Satine waiting for him outside of the palace. When she saw him she ran over to him.
"Obi! I'm glad you could come!" Satine hugged Obi-wan and Maul looked surprised at them. He had felt a feeling he wasn't use to. He felt like growling at this lady. He knew who she was Satine Kryze, a politician.
Satine and Obi-wan looked at Maul when they heard him growling quietly. He wasn't looking at them, but Obi-wan could sense some jealousy stirring in Maul.
"Maul, is everything alright?" Obi-wan turned to his apprentice.
"Yes Master, everything's fine." Maul mumbled still not looking at them.
"Master? Wait a second you're no longer a padawan Obi?" Satine asked shocked
"Yeah! Oh, and this is Maul, my apprentice." Obi-wan smiled gesturing to Maul. Maul couldn't help, but feel happy, Obi-wan had called him his apprentice. Yet some part of him felt sad about it. The part that felt sad was also the strange new feeling he felt. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't like it one bit.
"It's nice to meet you Maul, my name's Satine." She smiled at Maul holding her hand out to shake his, but he didn't even glance at her.
"Maul, stop being so rude and say hello to Satine." Obi-wan said and Maul cleared his throat and looked at Satine.
"Hello Satine." Maul said and shook her hand. Satine got increasingly nervous, but she didn't show it. Maul's eyes seared into her and she turned back to Obi-wan.
"So Obi, what brings you here with a last minute notice?" Satine asked and Obi-wan grew nervous himself.
"Well Satine, it's kind of complicated. There are... well there's people who don't want Maul to be my apprentice." Obi-wan explained simply
"He does look a bit old to be an apprentice. I thought Jedi Knights trained younglings and I thought they were called padawans." Satine commented and Maul felt like she was asking and saying too much. Like she was cornering him. Maul suppressed a growl when Obi-wan answered her.
"Listen Satine, I'll explain it all later, but right now Maul and I need a ship. I suspect that the one we came here on was being tracked and I want to get Maul to his home planet as safely as possible." Obi-wan quickly said
"Of course Obi, just follow me and you can take one of my ships." Satine said and Maul and Obi-wan quickly followed Satine. Maul couldn't help, but growl what was with this woman in calling his master Obi? He wanted it to stop. She was getting more of his master's attention than he was.
"Maul. What is the matter with you? We're safe here, stop growling." Obi-wan quietly scolded him.
"Nothing is wrong Master." Maul said through his teeth. Even just thinking that this woman could possibly take his master from him made him angry.
"Maul, there is something wrong here. If you want this master and apprentice thing to work between us than you can't keep anything from me. You can tell me anything you know that." Obi-wan told him and Maul didn't even dare look into his eyes. His arm shook as he felt a darker him trying to take control. It was whispering in his ear.
"It's just my head, master." Maul partially lied. "It's giving me a headache." Maul knew that Sidious didn't like his changes and Maul betted that his new master didn't like them either. Sidious didn't like it when Maul told him about the voices in his head. Sidious had hurt him worse than any other punishment when Maul told him about the voices.
"Is that all? Well there's no need to growl over a headache. Are you sure there is nothing you're telling me? Why is your arm shaking?" Obi-wan asked and placed a hand on Maul's arm. Maul gritted his teeth together and did his best to still his arm. When Maul made the bond with his master, he didn't know that Obi-wan had ran into his other selves. He was too busy making sure that he had control of the body when Obi-wan left, yet he couldn't even do that he was somehow forced to let the child take control.
The dark voice kept whispering in Maul's ear to attack Satine and see if his master was truly worth of being his master.
"Maul?" Obi-wan began to get worried from Maul's silence.
"Everything is fine Master." Maul said and he became confused and panicked a bit. The darker version of him made Obi-wan's soft touch feel like electricity. Sidious attacked him with electricity when he told his old master about the voices. Threw him around with the Force like he was just some random garbage. Obi-wan was about to ask him if he was sure since he could sense all of Maul's emotions. It was another thing Maul didn't know about. Satine had called out for Obi-wan and the Jedi Knight hesitantly took his hand away from his apprentice. As Obi-wan walked over to Satine in the hanger, Maul leaned against the wall and placed his hand where Obi-wan's was holding his arm still. He didn't want to be angry. He didn't want to hurt anyone. He want this dark voice of all of the voices in his head to go away.
