What if?: One Death

I will be there

Maul awoken early in the morning, it was still dark outside. The rain had stopped and the river had receded a bit. Maul looked up at the sky to see that the clouds were clearing. He could see some stars against the deep blue vastness of space. He watched the sky and a cloud had drifted to show a bright blinking star. The one star caught his attention. He stared at the star before laying back down under the bridge.
He was shivering, his clothes had gotten dampened by the river as he slept. His stomach growled demanding for food, but he just laid there. He just wanted to sleep everything out. Maybe when he awakens next time someone will be there. Some to maybe take his mind off of his master that he had fallen in love with. If my Lord certainly found out about it, he would one of them, if not both. Maul felt tears arising again in his eyes as he thought able his master. What did he possibly think of him now? He probably wanted nothing to do with Maul now. Had the Force casted him into the life of misery? He wasn't taken away by the river that came oh so close to him and no one had found him yet. Had no one wanted him?

Obi-wan had to make sure Maul wasn't in the city. His clothes had been soaked from the rain he thought would never end. He got back onto the speeder. He remembered how Satine was called back to the palace for business. Obi-wan was happy that she wanted to help him find Maul. He thought that she wouldn't want to talk to him for a while since he had chosen Maul over her.
He placed the flashlight back into a compartment on the speeder. He rubbed his eyes, he was tired. He had been out looking for his apprentice all night and the sun had not even risen on Mandalore yet. He looked up at the sky and saw a bright star blinking in the dark sky. He had tried meditating to find Maul, but he still couldn't sense Maul. He must be hiding himself as well.
Obi-wan was sure Maul was no longer in the city. He started towards the river. He had to find Maul. He had to explain everything to him.
Obi-wan stopped the speeder and walked onto the bridge for a pause in his search. The river had calmed down and the sun started to rise. Obi-wan looked up at the bright blinking star that faded in the red and orange sunrise.
"Where could you be?" Obi-wan thought out loud as the river still was swollen and rushed down its path.

Maul could only hear the river rage as he watched the different colors of the sunrise form out of the deep blue sky. His tears had started to slow down as he watched the sunrise. He remembered the panic attack he had the night before this sunrise. His feet still ached from how far he ran.
He pushed himself against the bridge trying to trick his mind that he was trying to fall asleep next to someone.

Obi-wan stood there on the bridge concentrating. Suddenly, he heard rocks and pebble tumble into the water and the bridge creak at the base. He felt his heart flutter and he ran off the bridge. It could be some animal, but he had to check.
He looked under it and saw his Zabrak wet and dirty laying pressed up against the underside of the bridge.
"Maul." Obi-wan said and he saw his apprentice jump, and look over at him. The sunrise shone on Maul's face revealing the evidence of him crying. Maul backed up a bit and looked away from him.
Obi-wan was so happy that he find Maul that he quickly went over to the frightened and sad Zabrak and hugged him tightly. He felt his scar ache as he held Maul in his tight embrace. As he hugged Maul, he felt the Zabrak try to control his breath and not cry. But as if it was inevitable, the Zabrak held Obi-wan close to him and tightly as he cried into the Jedi's shoulder.
Maul felt how much wetter his master's clothes were, but he didn't care. He was here with his master now. His master was hugging him. His master still wanted him. Both of them her overflown with happiness that neither of the moved. They both just wanted to stay like that and not move at all. Neither of them were in a rush now.
