The will of the Force or a twist of fate?

[Kenrath]

Vengeance shook his head laughing.

"That was only two options."

He grabbed another glass of water from the bartender pushing it beside the first one in front of her.

"Drink and sober up then we can talk about the whole heap of a mess you just got yourself into." "In the meant time why don't you tell me more about Aspen."

[member="Aspen Laval"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Well I was born on Naboo into a broken family I hardly saw my father my mother was mean as I will get out. So I spent most of my days alone, I was an outsider among the people I went to school with. I nearly jumped off a bridge the bullying got so bad." She says and tries not to cry. "I was alone and on my own with no one to turn to so I ran away and never looked back. The last time I saw my mother she left this on me." She says and pulls her shirt up to show him the long scar on her side.

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

He only briefly glanced down at the scar when she lifted up her shirt mentioning it.

"And your Father?" "I know you said you hardly saw him but what was he like?"

In truth her answer mattered little to him. He was just giving her time to sober up. A decision like the one she needed to make was best made with a clear mind. The life of a Sith was a difficult one and that didn't even take into consideration he was not the nicest person on the block to his own Apprentices.

[member="Aspen Laval"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"He was nice enough." She says her words no longer slurred. She thinks about the decision put before her she would rather be a slave then alone in this world on her own

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance chuckled.

"He was nice enough but what?"

He sipped his drink finishing it off and declining another.

"Surely there is more to the story than a nice enough person who was never around much." "Or would you rather talk about how and why you got the scar?"

[member="Aspen Laval"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Well for starters my father is a first order flametrooper that is why he was never around much. As for the scar it was a broke bottle to the side I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. My mom had gotten angry and snapped and she did this to me" She says not smiling

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance cocked an eyebrow.

"First Order?" "Can't say I have ever heard of them." "Was One Sith myself until I decided I didn't want to be any more."

Seeing she was possibly sober enough to move under her own steam Vengeance stood up.

"So think you can walk on your own?"

He dropped some credits on the bar before turning back to Aspen.

[member="Aspen Laval"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Yes." She said and stood up looking at the man "The first order and the one sith work closely I hear"

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance looked at [member="Aspen Laval"] shaking his head.

"Then your father is in more danger than he will ever realize." "The One Sith don't allies they have minions." "As long as you do what they say and don't cause trouble you are fine." "Unless that is they find somebody that can do the job better than you........then you are expendable."

He turned towards the door headed out.

"Come with me Aspen.....you and I have some things to discuss better said away from prying ears."

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Aspen follows him out of the doors of the cantina and waits to see where he goes

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

As they exited Vengeance turned towards the Starport and the docking bays. He didn't say much as they walked. His stride was confident but short enough to ensure she was able to keep up.

When they got about half way there he pulled out his comm and told the pilot to prep the ship for departure before glancing over his shoulder to see where she was at.

No more than 10 minutes later he was walking up the ramp of a Corporeal class freighter. He didn't slow down until he got to his own quarters on the ship removing his coat and tossing it on his bed before turning towards the door expecting to see her standing there.

[member="Aspen Laval"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Aspan would follow him without a trace of doubt as they walked through the streets she pulled her skirt which was coming up on the light breeze and she didn't want to make that kind of impression. She continued to follow him until she was standing in his doorway

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance leaned back against the desk in his room half sitting on it his right foot propped up on the chair beside it.

"Why are you here Aspen?" "As in this room..........why did you follow me?" "At least some part of you should have known you were potentially putting yourself in danger but you did it anyway."

He looked at her waiting to see what she said. He was curious as to where her mind was at. It gave a good indication as to her state of mind.

[member="Aspen Laval"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

At his question she simply looked at him and smiled "I followed my feelings and instincts and they said to follow you"
[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance smirked.

"Well then you find yourself at a crossroads Aspen." "You can go left......................"

He glanced over at the bed a few feet away.

"..........and be a concubine of sorts to share my bed when desire hits...............I am after all just a man." "I am not the gentle type but you will come to no true harm." "You may even find you enjoy it."

He paused letting option one sink in.

"Or you can go right." "Be trained to use the Force...........more specifically the Dark side." "I will teach you strength, I will teach you what power is."

He pulled a knife from a sheath with a six inch blade some traces of dried blood on the blade.

"............the down side is you will know pain like you have never known pain before." "The last person who sought training from me I beat the crap out of and then stabbed with this." "For no other reason than she said something that displeased me."

He paused again to let option two sink in before he spoke again.

"If you stay here that are the options you face." "Or you can simply turn around and walk away.......go back to the Cantina and forget this conversation ever took place."

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Asian did not say a word instead taking a step forward she got on her toes and kissed him right on the lips

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance made no movements or said a word until she pulled back from the kiss.

"You didn't answer my question." "Which is it slave or Sith." "This may be the one and only time you have to speak your mind without consequence." "If I were you I would take advantage of it."

[member="Aspen Laval"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"My gut split between slave and sith I wish I could could decide isn't there a way that my true feelings can be surfaced?"

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

Vengeance crossed his arm for a moment looking at her for a moment. He didn't speak for a full minute and then without warning a balled fist would come fly towards her jaw.

[member="Aspen Laval"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

She didn't move or duck she took the fist to the jaw and then proceeded to fall back
