Blood. Fire.
Smoke and Death.
These were the last things she smelt before everything faded to black, Leaving a smokey and copper taste in her mouth even now. Exhilarating, But fearful. Then came more sounds; Blaster fire. The roaring of flames spun out of control, The crackling of melting plastoid armor, And the screams of dying soldiers.Smoke and Death.
No, No Stop- S o l u s !
More screaming... More dying. And one word; Solus. A name perhaps? It was the last she heard before the world went dark for the first time, Wave of heat rushing over her as if her her world was burning down around her, Until at long last she felt Death's cold embrace.
Or so she thought.
When she awoke the first time, It was in a hospital, Surrounded by doctors, Hooded men and black-clad soldiers. She lashed out, Tearing tubes from her arms and knocking over equipment as she fled, Breaking a terminal and showering nearby blankets with sparks that set them alight. She was angry then, Hateful. So very hateful... Why? She remembers manipulating the flames with the force, Lighting one of the hooded men aflame before the others joined the fray, Throwing out their hands and halting the her fire in it's tracks. Then she saw a flash of blue emanate from the weapon of a nearby soldier, And suddenly the world went dark a second time.
When she awoke again, She found herself laying in a hospital bed, Tended by doctors and Guarded by soldiers, Who she could see clearly now, The crest of the Sith Empire on their shoulders. She had no memory of this empire, Even it's name she didn't understand why she knew it, But seeing that crest, Her subconscious hate for it boiled, And yet she felt she had known it for some time, Feeling a melancholy and honorbound duty to serve those who wore it.
Why? Why am I here? Who am I...?
Why do I feel... So afraid...
The doctors told her the story of her arrival, How the empire had found her aboard a ship they'd taken in battle, With Mandalorians keeping her prisoner. Funny, She knew the name "Mandalorian" so well, As if she'd always known, And yet her memory was clouded, So... Vacant. They said she suffered an injury that had caused this, This amnesia of hers.
She asked so many questions, Holding her knees close to her chest and her head held low as she listened to the answers, None of which were satisfactory, Save for her name; Kaila. No last name, No family ties, But it was the one thing familiar to her, The name she'd carried with her for a lifetime. Eventually the doctors left, And her guards repositioned outside on either side of the door, Giving the girl a moment of privacy that caused the woman nearly fall asleep again, Exhausted by the ordeal and cocktail of unknown drugs coursing through her veins even now.
In her drug fueled and daydreaming state, Her mind began to wonder through both the force and the myriad of frightened questions she was asking herself. Why am I here? Who am I? How long will they keep me here?
Little did she know that another would arrive in her fortified room shortly, And her life had forever changed.
