The Dark Side is calling

[Darth Vaildra]

Serenity blushed and giggled until Katelyn mentioned her parents not knowing, " Kate, your parents know I live here silly, why wouldn't they? Wow, last night may have been too good that you forgot everything." She kissed Katelyn 's nose and she would feel lips, real lips. It was like the real Serenity was here. Before Katelyn could answer another voice, female, came from downstairs. "Katelyn Thanewulf, Serenity Allistair hurry up, your breakfast is cold." The voice should jolt Katelyn's memories and flood her with anticipation to hear the voice of someone long gone, but clearly there. Deep in Katelyn's mind she would hear, "Katelyn is dead, Astrid is powerful." It would be the hearing form of seeing something out of the corner of your eye and looking to find nothing.

Downstairs her mother would be found cooking food that from memory, it was Katelyn's favourite. He fater would be at the table with a holo up that displayed the weekly news and chewing on some bacon. The scene would have the smells, air, and perfect appearence to match her memories. The problem was memories and the real thing were different so this could feel too good, but after such a torture, one's mind would want to crasp the perfection and ignore that it was too perfect to be real. It was like loving an abusive man. You wanted to ignore the bad because love is blind.

[Sorry for my lack of detail]
Astrid was jolted out of her happiness hearing the words, 'Katelyn is dead, Astrid is powerful.' She sat up once she heard this and looked around for who was pouring these thoughts and devilish whispers into her mind. After a few moments and Serenity tugging at Astrid's arm she fell out of her daze and followed her out of their shared room and down the stairs. Astrid was hesitant to ask, one because she was scared Serenity might think her weird and two because she though this was some fantasy. Despite her mind believing the second one, her emotions guided her with the first one. "Uhm Serenity...how did my parents know that we were dating again? Also...sorry must be having amnesia but could you tell me about this metal arm?"

Astrid made her way down the stairs with Serenity shortly behind her. Astrid's Violet eyes caught hold of her father, Czin. The person who she considered to be her true father...not her biological father Josiah. Czin was the father that Astrid/Katelyn loved, like a true father. Not like someone who had cut off her arm.

When Czin caught hold of Katelyn he smiled. "Glad you awake Kat! See you and Serenity are well rested...I don't have to go in for work until 10:30 today...so I'll be here for thirty more minutes. Anyways...how are you and Serenity?" Astrid's father asked questionably but also calmly...it was as if Astrid was in a fantasy of her/Katelyn's old life. Before everything was screwed over. "Oh, I'm fine! Gosh Dad, you know me.."

[Ok, so everything goes wrong when she drops the dish/thing, right?]
"Gosh what is wrong with you? Big weirdo! Haha...so anyways remember when you were with your father during one of his security training exercises that went horribly wrong? So...you tried helping but lost your arm in the process. Now as for how your parents knew well...that's a tuff one." Serenity took a breath and smiled towards Czin before responding to Astrid. "...One time after school your mom was coming to pick us up for who knows what and she saw us making out...Man Kat, you gotta remember this stuff...I can't be your memory bank forever....Oh, and I'm good Mr.Thanewulf!" Serenity said the last part with a laugh before following Astrid into the kitchen.

Once Astrid was in the kitchen, it felt as if she was at her home back on Hoth. The wooden flooring in the Kitchen that her father had personally installed. The smells of sweet crispy bacon and syrup in the air...with the taste of vanilla in the air. It just felt so, peaceful...as if she was home, safe. Astrid's mother looked behind her shoulder, moving her red hair out of the way as she did so before walking over to the table with a plate filled with bacon. "Hi Kat, Serenity! Kat...could you be a dear and get the milk jug?"

Astrid shrugged innocently and opened the fridge. She outstretched her left arm and grabbed the jug in hand before turning and tripping on something, causing her to fall to the ground along with the milk jug falling to the ground...covering it in cold milk. Astrid didn't know it know, but everything had changed when she had made that one little careless mistake.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

A fist slammed on the table, "One damn minute, just one. I work long hours 7 days a week and I can't get peace for one damn second!!! You insolent little E chuta!" He drew his blaster from his hip, "Why can't you be normal like everyone else?! Kark! We fed you, cloth you and put a shelter over your head! To repay us you go off an kark this little twat instead of finding yourself a man like a normal girl. I spent 10 credits of my hard earned money to buy that milk!!! Who is going to replace it?! You?!?!" Her father was standing and aiming a blaster at her. Her mother, who was angry that her daughter had made a mess and was with a girl now held a knife.

Serenity, who had been holding Katelyn's hand was squeezing Kateltyn's hand tightly, way too tightly. She now let go of Katelyn's hand, "....Why are you letting them talk about me like this? Why don't you remember us? You were using me weren't you, how dare you....HOW DARE YOU!!" A gun was now in Serenity's hand and everyone was positioned to kill Katelyn. A lightsaber appeared next to her on the floor just as the Father and Serenty's fingers began to pull the hair triggers to open fire.

[When I read that, I literally shivered. Personally, right now...Vaildra seems better and nicer than this alternate family...just saying]
In an instant, everything that was at peace...was not aimed toward's Astrid as she was still laying on the ground. What the Kark is happening? T-they turned on ME? No it's just a misunderstanding! No...you know what, I was stupid to believe I could live without karma or consequences or any of that Karking Crap! Now...it's time for payback. Despite...how much it pains me. Astrid grabbed the lightsaber tightly in her right hand and swing towards her father who was closest, cutting his hand off allowing the gun to fall before quickly receiving a lightsaber to the neck.

Astrid's mother swung at her with a knife. Which was a mistake as that left her wide open for attack. Astrid caught the knife in her left hand along with her mother's wrist and brought her mother in front of her just as Serenity shot at her. Her mother's lifeless body fell to the ground riddle with three bullet wounds.

"Now...For YOU!" Astrid threw the lightsaber down and outstretched her right hand. Soon, the gun began to shake before coming to Astrid's right hand. Astrid dismantled the gun with ease before dropping it to the gun and walking towards Serenity. She gripped Serenity by the neck with her left metal hand and held her high within the air, slowly chocking her. "I TRUSTED YOU! And...this is how YOU treat ME! Your friend, lover...YOU were practically a SISTER TO ME!!" Tears began to form in Astrid's eyes and a few even fell to the ground but she tried to fight her emotions. Astrid tightened her grip around Serenity's neck before grabbing her mother's fallen knife and slowly curving it down Serenity's cheek, drawing blood as she did so. She brought the knife roundabout Serenity's neck before dropping it into a pool of Serenity's blood. She's not dead yet...ohhh but will she wish it!! No, NO...End it now!! Yes...do it! Astrid tightened her grip until she heard a sharp crack and snap before dropping Serenity to the ground. Her neck was broken in two places, successfully killing her.

 

[Darth Vaildra]

[Vaildra is a necessary evil, he is not demonic. Also, girl that was creepy to read haha.]

The lifeless bodies lay on the ground, not changing to give her time to reflect on what she had done. This was a major turning point, a sealing if you will. Katelyn was dead and now Astrid stood above the corpses victorious over herself. After a few minutes, the corpses turned into droids and the door to the kitchen opened. In came the hooded figure that tortured her and orchestrated it all, Darth Vaildra.

He looked at the scenes and then the spilled milk, such a shame to waste the milk. "Good, you have passed the test. Katelyn Thanewulf is dead, but you live on, stronger. You have now earned answers." Vaildra walked more into the room and stood next to the table. He unhooked the bottom of his mask to reveal his chin and mouth. He took a piece of bacon and slowly chewed on it, he kinda liked the suspense. He then took the father's coffee and drink some. His voice, with the bottom part of the mask missing now sounded normal, but slightly deep. "I am Darth Vaildra, Dark Lord of the Sith and Right Hand to the Sith Emperor. I have fought in many wars and killed many in my time. I have learned that the Sith of this day are weak, they do not know pain or the true face of the Dark Side, I sought to take on a new apprentice and sent my Wraith to find one. He found you."

Vaildra replaced the bottom of the mask once he took a final drink. His voice would return to the even deeper voice. "I tortured you, an act that you will resent me for for quite sometime. Torture is a cured action, but sometimes it can be useful. I could have trained you and eventually you would shed your past life as Katelyn, but torture forces your mind to break and repair itself. This whole scene put the three people you love most in a perfect dream like world. Then I forced you to kill them, but on your own choice. You told my Wraith you wanted to meet me and you never wanted to feel weak again. You have proven to yourself that the Dark Side in you is much stronger than anything Katelyn could become. Now, you can choose for yourself. Do you leave and remain Katelyn or do you kill her and become something no one can stop. I warn you, I will not be an easy teacher and you will feel pain beyond your wildest dreams, but what you will become is something greater then even I."
