Hell or High Water (Darth Naefas)

[Arianna Organa]

@[member="Darth Naefas"]

Arianna had been traveling between Coruscant and Alderaan, her son was attending to the affairs of House Organa on Alderaan and needed eyes and ears in the Senate. Yes even though there was a Senator from Alderaan, who had recently been made Queen.

Queen. Arianna laughed when she thought of it. A woman that spent little time on Alderaan, a woman who no one ever saw, a woman who had changed Alderaan's military requirements, and had seemed to be once again moving them towards an Imperial planet. Arianna did not know how her family could just sit by and let all of this happen. Her brown eyes held much sadness and anger. And now there was rumor of civil unrest, assassinations of nobles had been reported. And now here she was moving through space again, thinking she wanted to stop. The Transport she was on, remained on course and seemed adequate to get her home.

But. It was slow, and there were reports of Pirates and other unsavory characters. Arianna was not as skilled in defense as others in her family, something she would be changing.

Arianna had a private room within the transport, not that she was above anyone. But she talked in her sleep and she feared giving away a secret that could harm her family.

 

[Tormax Tryte]

He was on the public transport as well. He knew who she was, Arianna Darklighter. A woman that had come into his scopes a few months previously and when he learned of her past, to him, she became a target that was just waiting to be taken. Not taken literally, just one to fall into his plans.

And when he knocked on her, he threw his black hood over his head and waited for the doors to be opened. In his mind he ran over the few things that he would be asking her when he was admitted into the room. Some things could be pleasant, others maybe not so much.

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna was startled, she looked at the door. She quickly checked for the blaster clenching her jaw she stared now at the door as if willing it to tell her who was there. She swallowed hard, "Who is it?" She asked in as much of a pleasant voice as she could make.

Who knew she was on the trip, who would have enough courage to knock on her door.

[Tormax Tryte]

He knocked on the door again. There was only silence from the crimson man upon the opposite side of the door from her. Though he planted his hand upon it and the Force was released from it. The mechanisms of the door were being loosened from the use of the Force and soon enough when Naefas's hand went to the side, so did the door, and half of the mechanical door was open, revealing the darkly clad man, though only partially.

Arianna leveled the blaster, "Who is it, is not an invitation to come in. Don't you know you're not suppose to enter a lady's quarters unless invited?" She did not know this man, nor was she certain of his intentions, "Now what do you want?"

She had a very odd feeling about all of this, oh sometimes she wished she had some force skills it would make days like this a lot easier.

[Tormax Tryte]

"Arianna Darklighter." He said when he bent his body to step through the partially open doorway, and when he did that the other half of it slid closed. The Force had risen upon before him in a shield, an invisible wall of power to the naked eye to prevent any blaster bolts from hitting him. "Do you remember that night years ago?" He said silently. "I do." He said and he took one more step to her, though he wasn't that close to her as of yet.

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna laughed nervously, "a night???? years ago?????" Arianna stood there her finger itched she was ready to shoot him where he stood, not know about his wall of power. She looked at him again, oh what was he talking about.

"WHAT" she calmed her voice again, "What do you mean, you remember?"

@[member="Darth Naefas"]

 

[Tormax Tryte]

"Yes that night." He said and he walked closer to her, almost right in front of her but he stopped himself. "You know what I mean Arianna. But I am here to stay, rather than leave you." He said and he lifted his hand up and took more steps to her, he meant to cup her face in his hand. He wouldn't have been surprised if she shot at him however.

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna backed up further, "OHoooo no no...you weren't there, there's no way you were there" No was not possible it was Ronin she knew that so who was this, and why were they here saying this, and dammit she swore she should have brought the body guard.

She felt her finger laying on the trigger, she was ready to shoot him. If need be.

[Tormax Tryte]

"They changed me." His voice rasped when he came closer to Arianna. "I can only remember you and the time we spent together." He whispered softly when he was within a meter of her. He was trying to influence her through the Force as well when he spoke. His voice was laced with the Force. It tried to seep into her mind and re-arrange her thoughts so that she would believe him and see the reason and truth behind his words. From what he could tell, she wasn't force-sensitive and he was truly trying to Force his will upon her, as discreetly as possible however incase of others who could sense the Force upon the ship.

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna shook her head, how could that be show wondered. She felt the blaster waiver in her hand. No. "Changed you?" she asked , yes her mind said yes he was changed if this was indeed Ronin. Damn. No.

"no" she whispered, she felt as though something were pressing down on her head what was it, it felt like a headache, "why" She stammed, "why change you?" Her eyes closed for a moment, as her breathing became labored against the sensations.

[Tormax Tryte]

Darth Naefas went in front of her until he was only a foot away from her."I-I don't know." He stammered out sadly. He fell to his knees in front of her. And tried to take her hands. "Please, please believe me!" He exclaimed with quite a bit of influence through the Force directed towards her. She would have to believe him or else this would have all been for naught. It was quite possible she might have to die if she didn't believe him. Maybe.

Arianna felt her mind become fuzzy it was such an odd feeling she saw him go to his knees not knowing why she reached over and touched him, she blinked as her mind finally gave in to what he was telling her, "I believe you" she whispered, "but who would do this to you?"

All she saw now was someone who said they were someone they were not, but with his twisting of the force she believed.

 

[Tormax Tryte]

All he could do was smile when a few tears poured out of his eyes. To force them out had been so hard for him. It was all an act, and when he stood up, he gently took her chin and guided it to his lips. When their lips touched for a few moments he pulled away from her.

"The Sith." He said grimly. It was time for the rest of his plans to unfold.

[Arianna Organa]

The kiss was brief yet gentle. "The Sith, that's awful." Arianna reached over her mind complete convinced what he said was true. "Sit. Tell me more do you want a drink?

She treated him as the long lost lover but what was he trying to accomplish.

[Tormax Tryte]

"I-I...went to a Doctor who I thought could help me with something." He shook his head sadly, the dried tears were evident on his crimson cheeks. "I-I don't remember anything else." He said, and he shook his head again. It was quite evident, from physical appearances that he was actually sad, and afraid of speaking of what had supposedly 'happened' to him.

"Nothing to drink." He said quietly. "I looked so hard to find you, Arianna. My love."

[Arianna Organa]

It hurt her to know he was sad. "I went home I had to." She had to go where she felt safe their one night stand was a blemish on her family. "I'm sorry" she hesitated , "my love"

She sighed heavily, "what can I do now, why are you here after so long,?" She felt fuzzy clouded. So strange.

@[member="Darth Naefas"]

 

[Tormax Tryte]

He shook his head. "I wanted to be with you." He said with what appeared to be a genuine smile. "Forever." He said and he started to move up to her and press his lips onto hers, and held it for as long as he could.

He needed her trust more than anything. He would do all he could. He had to.

[Arianna Organa]

He was missing her again it felt odd strange less than before a strong emotional bond she had for and with the father of her children Arianna pulled back, "I'm glad but let's not move too fast. There's so much to talk about"

She wasn't her sister, but she had missed him. But. She would not make the same mistake twice. "Forever is a long time, are you sure?" What had changed his mind, had he changed.

@[member="Darth Naefas"]

 

[Tormax Tryte]

"More sure than I will ever be." He said with a nod. "I will be there for you at all times." He tried to hold her arm gently and to rub it, to show that he wasn't bluffing, that he was indeed telling the truth. And through that touch, even more influence within the Force went through it to try and change her mind even more. To let her give herself to him more willingly.
