	oh noes! Wait, maybe it's not. I'm not sure. o__O; Jacen is all angsty, and Tenel Ka is - something. I don't even know if she's dead or alive anymore. Maybe she just ran off. But not without Jacen! >( But it's very good... strange... interesting... I don't even know what the hell's going on in this fic anymore, but it rocks anyway. -----signature----- http://admiraljello.livejournal.com/4778.html ----- "I have an A-wing on my laptop!"

	Great post! I also liked your OCs. They added a certain spark to the chapter. Hmm, things are starting to sound fishier. Sherlock Jacen needs to get to the bottom of this to save his lady love .

	Jacen: Thank you~ ^_^ hugs Hey, we need to get working on those costumes. Sarah and I got a lot of talking about them done, but of course - we had no time to actually do anything with them. Hehe~ SS: Awww~ ;-; I'm sorry~ but yes, finally Jacen figured out something was wrong. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking...? flowerbee: I know - I hate making them all sad... poor babies. But it's needed, for now. ES: I could totally see Jacen freaking out when someone found them, "OMG DON'T TELL ANYONE OH NOES PLEEEEEEAASSSE." -- But Anhaje and Gadell are sweethearts (MUAHA) so he didn't have to freak out. And yeah, I know I can be evil and write evil things... but I usually put happy stuff in there with it somehow - to keep my sanity in check. TCR: Did she kill herself? With me, you'll never know, ya? But anguish and angst = yay! ...so we won't find out yet. As for Gadell and Anhaje -- I haven't decided with them yet. Hmm... Misti: You're still sick? I hope you get better soon! I'll try to have a new post up as soon as possible so you can get your mind off of being sick! Lusa: I'm sorry it's so sad! But it'll get better, at least a little bit! I promise! djcati: LOL~ I love that. OH NOES. angst!Jacen is so much fun to write. And yes, TK is something... but I'm not telling what. HEHE! And don't worry, everything will fall into place. Also, thank you so much for the comments! hugs Ams: Thank you for the comments, especially on the OCs! I try my hardest to make them as real as the others, but since Jacen, Jaina, etc., already have backstories, it's easier with them. With OCs you have to work at making them believeable and as real as the rest -- so I work extra hard on them. AND OMG. pictures Sherlock Jacen SO CUTE. green_eyes: More soon! And thank you for the comments! Jacen really does need to get to the bottom of this! TEASER TIME! MUAHA! Here ya are! Hopefully this chapter will be up tonight or tomorrow! ----- HALFWAY TO THE HEAVENS [[ teaser chapter 6 Jacen was lying on his stomach, his head to one side. He managed to push his arms under him and pull himself to his knees, where he stared down at the place he had just been sleeping. He didn't remember falling asleep there, but he must've. Blinking the last traces of sleep from his eyes, he narrowed them. Under the pillow his head was on and under the spot he had been sleeping, there was a faint bloodstain. Leaning down, he placed his left hand on it as well as his right cheek and closing his eyes, he opened himself to the Force. Split seconds passed and Jacen saw things he never wanted to witness. It was like the dream he had just had, but more vivid, more real. He saw Tenel Ka screaming, gnashing her teeth, bleeding from scratches on her chest. He saw shapes hovering around her - he still couldn't make them out, but he knew they were evil. A black cloud seemed to hover over their shadowed bodies whenever Jacen saw them in his dream and in the vision he had just witnessed. Jerking his head back quickly, he stared back down to the bloodstain. His left hand, still placed over the spot, absently ran over it as he fell into another one of his pensive states, eyes glazed. ----- O_O! -----signature----- [ http://echuta.net/ - we're doomed! http://whatthefun.net/cosplay - my cosplay site! http://echuta.net/chivalry - my J/TK fanthings <3 http://echuta.net/oc - EU costuming http://tenel-ka.livejournal.com - the eljay ]

	HALFWAY TO THE HEAVENS [[ chapter 6 Trails. Marks. Red, dripping with blood. Tracing the collarbone, the neck. Everytime she tried to sit up, they would shove her back down. She would push against them, almost to a sitting position, the blood seeping over her tan skin, down over the swell of her breasts and into her nightgown, staining the thin fabric. Her head was slammed back into the headboard, the liquid leaking back under her body, into her hair. Her breath was sporadic, shaky. Vision; blurred. She struggled as hard as she could manage, trying to pull herself out from under... away from... Her shoulders were held down, two hands on each one. And above her, Death sat like a king, laughing richly and mumbling things to no one imparticular. Buried in the pillow, Jacen's eyes opened and with a hesitant shudder of his breath, he rolled over. He had fallen asleep in Tenel Ka's bed. And he had had that dream again. The shapes looming around her, over her; stealing from her anything that she held precious. Her sanity perhaps, her life maybe. Jacen was lying on his stomach, his head to one side. He managed to push his arms under him and pull himself to his knees, where he stared down at the place he had just been sleeping. He didn't remember falling asleep there, but he must've. Blinking the last traces of sleep from his eyes, he narrowed them. Under the pillow his head was on and under the spot he had been sleeping, there was a faint bloodstain. Leaning down, he placed his left hand on it as well as his right cheek and closing his eyes, he opened himself to the Force. Split seconds passed and Jacen saw things he never wanted to witness. It was like the dream he had just had, but more vivid, more real. He saw Tenel Ka screaming, gnashing her teeth, bleeding from scratches on her chest. He saw shapes hovering around her - he still couldn't make them out, but he knew they were evil. A black cloud seemed to hover over their shadowed bodies whenever Jacen saw them in his dream and in the vision he had just witnessed. Jerking his head back quickly, he stared back down to the bloodstain. His left hand, still placed over the stain, absently ran over it as he fell into another one of his pensive states, eyes glazed. His trance was broken when he heard the door to the bedchambers slide open. Slowly, he let his gaze follow the way his head was turning - his eyes landed on Gadell. It was early morning, the sun hadn't even risen fully yet. The rays of the rising star drifted lazily through the room, catching everything in it's path in a soft light. Gadell scuffed over to the Queen Mother's bed, his barefeet padding gently on the carpet. He was still in his nightclothes, Hapan silk pants, his robe wrapped tightly around him, shielding him from the cool morning breeze that drifted through the open balcony doors. His arms were crossed over his chest, as he stood beside the bed, staring to Jacen Solo, who was returning his gaze with wide, sad eyes. "The ceremonies are today," Gadell murmured, a pang of depression in his heart at the sight of Jacen alone, in Tenel Ka's bed. Jacen nodded slowly, curling back up on the sheets. He pulled his knees up to his chest and opened his mouth as if to say something. He hesitated. "What is it, Jacen?" Gadell watched Jacen intently, as if Jacen were a child, admitting something to his father - curled up in bed trying to forget it all. Solo finally said, "Can I see her body before the ceremonies?" Gadell's eyes widened as he uncrossed his arms and clasped his hands behind his back. An ebony eyebrow arched, "Why?" "I-- I just... I just want to see her without billions of people watching all over the galaxy. I just want to tell her things I should've told her a long time ago. Just... please..." With a solemn nod, Gadell sighed. "Yes, Jacen. Here, we'll go now. I'll go get cleaned up - you do the same. And I'll meet you in the throne room in twenty standard minutes. Can you handle that?" "Yes." "We'd better hurry before everyone starts waking up," with another nod, Gadell turned and exited the bedchambers, trapising down the hall to his own room. Since Tenel Ka's death, Gadell would always end up waking early in the morning. He would find himself putting on his robe and stumbling down the hallway to the royal bedchambers, where he would sit on her balcony or at her vanity and just think about her. He would run his fingers over her jewelry, across the wooden banisters of the huge bed. He wasn't surprised at all when he found Jacen in the room that morning. He had a feeling Solo would fall asleep in the faded blood-stain on the bed. A sigh as the door to his quarters slid aside, allowing him to pass. He entered, letting it shut behind him. His quarters were fairly large, decorated with the most divine pieces of Hapan art he could find. Tenel Ka had known of his fascination with the Terevan Artist's Guild and she had gotten him a few pieces of their work as a gift when he was promoted once. It had surprised him when she gave them to him - his seemingly cold, calculating, emotionless Queen... smiling and tugging him along to each sculpture, each painting, describing it in as much detail as possible. After that, he continued to collect pieces here and there - and he had ended up with an excellent collection. He entered the doors of his quarters and made his way through the entrance hallway; a long narrow corridor that was lined with sculptures of famous people in Hapan history. They were about life-size and they glared down at every passerby with their stone gaze. Lights were planted behind them, facing upwards, giving each a soft glow. The room opened up into a circular shape at the end of the small corridor, his bed on the opposite side of where he stood, the door to the refresher along the wall, feet away from that. Sculptures, tables, chairs, a sofa... all sat in the room around that, placed perfectly. His room seemed to be a work of art in itself, the ceilings high, with tapestries hanging between the long windows. The shiny onyx floor reflected the room, making it appear even larger. Padding to his wardrobe, he pulled out his dress tunic; the elaborate version of his normal uniform. It was what he would wear for the ceremonies that day. As he changed, he noticed the panel on his holonet unit blinking. The wall unit was situated near his desk, the little green light flickering on and off. He had a message. As he tied the front of his tunic shut, he could feel a flicker in the Force. Jacen Solo was walking by the door to his quarters, on the way to the throne room. Had it been that long already? Throwing on his boots, Gadell jogged over to the holonet unit, flicking the button for his message. He intended to watch it, then rush out and after Jacen, so they could walk to the throne room together. Lips came into focus, just lips and a chin. They took up the space that would normally be taken up by a face, usually a head and shoulders. "You poor, poor souls." The lips hissed, they went out of the shot and in the space left, Gadell could see a holo-screen. It must've been behind where the speaker was standing. There was one word blinking. On and off. Over and over. Discord. Discord. Discord. With narrowing eyes, Gadell watched the word, letting Jacen travel tiredly to the throne room alone. Discord. Up to the doors of the throne room, Jacen traipsed, yawning on the way. He slid in between the small opening between the two doors, the draft from the air snaking up his legs. Her body was supposedly in the chamber behind the throne room. He knew it had been twenty minutes already, where was Gadell? He waited a few more moments, not even a standard minute and shook his head. No, he couldn't wait any longer. He had waited long enough. Dashing back behind the dais, Jacen saw that the door had a locked panel on it. The basic number pad glowed a soft emerald shade, and beckoned him to play with the numbers a little, to guess what the code was. He didn't have to play with them, he didn't have to guess. "4-6-9-9," she nodded, her copper tresses waving as she spoke. "That code overrides any door in the Palace. Erianh, Gadell and I are the only ones who know it." "So if there's an assassination attempt or something - and they lock you in your room," Jacen let that grin cross his face, "I can get in there with you and protect you myself?" With a scoff and a slight chuckle, "If you really wanted to, but I would need no protecting." He punched in the numbers and the door slid open, a satisfied snicker taking over his features. The chamber was dim, only lit by the flicker of small torches that were set up around the perimeter of the room. The flames danced on the walls and the ceiling, casting a red-orange glow on everything present. In the center of the room, there was an altar, a long pedestal, like a stone table. It was covered in fabric, silk, vines, flowers -- and there was the body. Slowly approaching the slab of intricately carved stone, Jacen kept his eyes locked on her face. It looked so peaceful, so calm. Her right arm was down by her side, the stump of her left clasped into a band of silver, the flames reflecting off of it. Her skin had gone pale and her hair was splayed out behind her, out of it's braids. A delicate silver crown sat beside her head, on the corner of the stone. The dress they had put her in was sleeveless, the neckline was high and tied and the top. With a parched swallow, Jacen let his fingers dance upon the neckline, he slightly pulled up the edge and peeked under. A patch of crisscrossing scratches covered her chest and explained the high neckline of the dress. They didn't want that to get out to the public, especially when they didn't know how to explain it. Staring down at her lifeless face, Jacen sighed, disturbing pieces of her hair that were hanging over her forhead. He knelt down a bit, leaning over her and steadied himself with his left arm, while his right hand traveled to his jawline. Cupping her face in his right hand, he leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on the lips of the Queen Mother, just one last kiss upon the lips of the woman he loved--- What?! Jacen pulled back suddenly, his right hand staying under her jaw, along her jawline. His fingers prodded and rubbed at the skin under her chin as a scowl crossed Jacen's tired visage. Her scar. The scar he had given her with the branch that time they were taking a walk, it was a prominent feature of hers after it had happened and was visible almost all the time. Hunching over and narrowing his eyes against the low light -- he couldn't see it. He couldn't feel it. Running his hand to the chest of the body, he placed it over where the heart would be and rolled his eyes back, shutting them and opening himself to the Force. He focused all his energy on the task at hand. And he knew it was true. "Jacen, I thought you were going to wait---" "Gadell! This body..." Jacen spun around suddenly, he had felt the other man approaching. His voice was hoarse, he was breathless. The sound was a hybrid of confusion, anger and possibly even a hint of excitement.

	Holy Sith... Well, the description of our fair Queen Mother, even if it is a false TK, was breathtakingly beautiful. Sorry for missing the last few posts, but I've had to work on my fics for a bit. I was finally behind on them, something I'm not familiar with. So, where is the real Tenel Ka? And how many people will Jacen and Gadell have to kill before they get to the real culprits?

	Wheeeee!!! It isn't TK!!! OMG...what a GREAT cliffhanger. I actually didn't see that coming!! XDDDDDD Maybe Jasa won't remained so depressed after all.
