The Balance and The Force {Star Wars Ep. X}

s. IX

Anni woke up in a cold dark room. She shivered as she realized she had only been wearing leggings and a tank top. She looked down at her outfit before noticing her lightsaber had been taken and her belt was off in general. She furrowed her brows before realizing exactly where she was.

She was laying against a table thing, it was set up so that she was standing up. She pushed against the restraints against her wrists and ankles. She breathed out shakily before she heard a hissing sound. The door in front of her was opening. Some stormtroopers walked in with their blasters ready.

"Commander Kai requires to see you. Come with us." They said simply before one of them waved their hand towards the door. The other unlocked the restraints before grabbing her arms.

Anni thought about escaping but she knew it was no use. She didn't know where she was. She didn't know where anything was. For all she knew, she was across the Galaxy.

The stormtroopers lead her far. She ended up in front of a large door where Kai was waiting.

He was hurt. It was obvious. The emotion radiating off him made Anni feel pain in her chest.

"An." Kai said, his face blank. Anni knew he was just putting on a face in front of the stormtroopers.

Anni felt them let go of her and she watched them walk away. She watched as Kai continued to look at her.

"It's time you officially meet Master Alec." Kai told her. "He's the one who trained me."

Anni watched her brother as he turned and opened the door. It was a large room that was obviously still being built. Kai pushed a hand on Anni's back to lead her in. She left her hands at her side as her brother pressed more against her back.

Anni felt even more cold than she did before. She felt scared, and she hadn't felt this scared her whole life.

"Aaaa yes, the twins are reunited again. I was dissapointed you got away last time before we could properly meet." The cloaked man sat up before removing his cloak.

Anni recognized this face as well. As if it was a face that she has known all her life, but she didn't know the details till that very moment.

The man lifted his hand and Anni suddenly was pulled forwards towards him. Her feet dragged against the ground. She stopped very close to his face.

He lifted a hand up and smirked to himself. He gently cusped her cheek. Anni tried to get away.

Alec started to read through her mind. Anni felt pain start to rise in her head. It only got worse when she tried to resist his digging.

"There's someone you wish to protect from all this," Alec started to speak.  "Someone you wish you could run away with. A person who means more to you than anyone you've ever known." He said and stared into her eyes.

She felt him pushing around for more. She tried to block him off but he was too strong for her.

Anni winced as she felt pain hit against her skull. He heard him chuckled but she closed her eyes. It started getting worse.

"You've been training as a Jedi, I see. What a waste of your time? I see you would rather be with that boy-" Alec kept digging for more.

"Master, stop this!" Kai tried to argue. Alec didn't listen.

"You have passion within you, child. I can see that it'll go unused... Unnoticed if you continue on a Jedi scum pa-"

"Stop it, Master! You're hurting her!"

Anni had started to scream. Suddenly, her body was dropped down to the ground. She went limp and Kai went to run towards her. He was stopped by Alec.
