	Great update! So I hope Jarik is going to take one for the team and tell Kissa's parents. -----signature----- Padwan to Big Fatty If someone says, "Have a nice weekend," I never say, "You too."

	Great post! Poor Jarik. Such a dilemma, but I hope that he does the right thing. Telling is usually better than not in 99.9% of cases... And although I don't like Mya, it does seem like she may have some family issues so I will temporarily withhold my judgement. Once again, fantastic job! -----signature----- Ramblings of a Jedi (snarky Jesika's diary- filled w/ romance, sarcasm, etc.): http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28753761/p1/?0 I was staring at the orange juice because it said "concentrate".

	canadianjedimama posted: I'm here! Finally...wipes brow LOL Bout time. Alright, first a bone to pick. I know it's a plot device, but no daughter of Jaina Solo would let herself be manhandled like that. That guy should be lucky he's still breathing...Suspend your disbelief for me. LOL But other than that, nice post. You capture the angst that is young adulthood beautifully here. And Jade and Kyp are yummy as always Danke. Nice post, Thank you my dear.Cyn ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Ceillean posted: I love how the teens are so normal in this story. Sneeking and lying to get to a party. Silly Kissa! I really feel sorry for Jarik, though. He'll do the right thing, I'm sure. And if he does tell Jag, Kissa will forgive him because she loves him. So there. Yeah, they don't have to put up with quite the crap their parents did. I wanted them to be as normal as possible. LOL We'll find out what Jarik does in the next post. Creepy janitor, though. I know. I love Kyp as a Jedi instructor. How much fun would that have been having Kyp Durron as a teacher in school? My grades would have been worse than they already were, due to slobbering all over the man. You and me both sister. We would have needed inflatable pools under our chairs to catch the drool. LOL Great update, Sab! Thanks! I'm guessing it'll get really interesting now. That it will... Update soon? Yep, soon. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Jade_eyes posted: Karissa's reaction is very common to victims, but it's an unfair promise for Jarik to keep. It really puts him in a bind. Totally mystified by how Karissa got cornered... she should've been with someone... interesting too that she was so "easily" attacked I do feel she's going to be an emotional wreck for a good while though You gotta figure that even a Jedi is caught unawares sometimes. I mean, she was upset. LOL I wouldn't exactly be paying attention either. Again, humor me and suspend your disbelief. LOL ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ ccp posted: Great update!

And although I don't like Mya, it does seem like she may have some family issues so I will temporarily withhold my judgement. Probably a good idea. Once again, fantastic job! Thank you my dear! And I'd like to take this opportunity to thank whoever nommed Jedi and Ambassador for Best Romance. I know it was one of you. LOL So THANK YOU!!!!!!! -----signature----- Stories are in my bio!

	Happy Friday! Hope everyone has big plans for the weekend! Here's the next chapter! Enjoy! ~Sab ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Cutter sat on his bed, flexing his hands open and closed. He had come too close to killing her tonight. The bloodlust had been racing in his veins and when he had happened upon a girl fitting his needs, he had blindly struck out. The cinnamon colored eyes and brandy brown hair hadn’t registered in his brain until he had heard that Durron brat call her name. He had kept himself concealed in the dark the entire time, but there was always the chance she had seen him. Seen the real him. His hands shook slightly and he gritted his teeth at the weakness. It was too late to turn back now. He wouldn’t be satisfied until he was done. The mistake was just one more thing he could blame on the man who had ruined his life. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Jarik didn’t get much sleep that night. He bounced back and forth between thinking about the promise and wondering if Karissa was alright. A few times he had even gotten up to call her, but had stopped himself and tried to go back to sleep. Finally, he got up and took a shower, knowing he was fighting a losing battle. As he got dressed, he tried to figure out how he was going to do this. He couldn’t just go over and say something, Karissa would have a fit. Hell, who was he kidding, she was going to have a fit no matter what he did. Walking out of his room and into the kitchen, his dilema was solved for him. Jag and Kyp were sitting at the kitchen table, laughing quietly over a cup of caf. Both turned to smile at him when he walked in. “Hey son.” Kyp said, then frowned. “You ok?” Jarik didn’t answer, just went over to sit down next to his dad and across from Jag. They were silent as he tried to find a way to spit out what he had to say. “I need to talk to both of you.” If he hadn’t grown up around Kyp and Jag he would have been uncomfortable with the absence of sound that had just taken over. With these two men, silence spoke volumes. “Something happened last night.” “And?” Kyp finally said when his son didn’t elaborate. “Karissa got upset at the party she was at last night and left without telling anyone. Micah called me and I went looking for her.” Jag hadn’t said anything, but it didn’t take a Jedi to tell he was not happy. Closing his yes, he prayed Karissa could forgive him. “Son…” “She was attacked a few blocks from here.” Jag shot up out of his seat so fast the chair fell back with a clatter and he was halfway out of the kitchen before Kyp could stop him. “Jag, wait.” Kyp called after him, rising to stop his friend. Jarik didn’t move from his seat, knowing his dad wouldn’t need his help. He just hoped Jag didn’t kill him for not saying anything right away. A few minutes later, both men walked back into the kitchen, but Jag didn’t sit down when Kyp did. Jarik couldn’t meet Jag’s gaze, so he concentrated on a chip in the table. Kyp laid his hand on his son’s arm and nodded for him to continue. He cleared his throat and did so. “I found her, but the guy who attacked her was already gone. I assumed he got scared when he saw me. She was hysterical. At first she thought I was the guy, but eventually I convinced her I wasn’t. She said…” Jarik took a deep breath, putting his head in his hands. “She said he tried to choke her. Once I got her calmed down, I told her we needed to come home and tell someone, but she freaked out on me again. Made me promise not to say anything.” Jag hadn’t moved from his place near the sink. Jarik wasn’t even sure he was breathing. “I’m sorry I didn’t come tell you right away Uncle Jag, but…I’ve never broken a promise to Karissa. She’s gonna be so pissed at me when she finds out I told.” Jarik said, suddenly feeling like he was 11 years old and not the mature 18 year old he actually was. Kyp chanced a glance at Jag and rubbed his hand over his mouth. While he wished Jarik had said something right away, he couldn’t blame him for not. He apparently had made sure she was ok and got home, but he had a feeling that wasn’t going to satisfy Jag. “Give us a minute, Jarik.” His dad asked him and he nodded, going into the living room. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ “Jag?” Kyp asked, looking at him from his seat. His friend said nothing. With Jag that could be good or bad. He had a feeling it was the latter in this case. “Look, I can’t say I agree with how he handled it. But I also can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same thing.” “Me either.” Jag whispered, easing Kyp’s anxiety just a fraction. “Somebody tried to hurt my little girl Kyp.” The master got up and paced the room, not sure what to say. He would have already been out of the building, looking for someone’s head to tear off if it had been his daughter. Somehow, he had a feeling Jag was feeling the same way and was only limited because he didn’t have the force to use. Jag sighed, and pushed off the counter to walk into the living room. Kyp followed and had to smile a bit when his son stood quickly, like a rookie getting ready for a dress down from his commanding officer. “Thank you for telling me.” Jag told him quietly and sincerely. “I’m sorry, I…” Jag stopped his words with a hand to his shoulder. “Don’t be.” He said, looking the young man in the eyes. Jarik nodded his understanding and Jag turned to leave the apartment. Father and son stood in silence, neither sure what to say. “You didn’t get any sleep last night, did you?” Kyp finally asked, and wasn’t surprised when his son shook his head no. “Go try to get some sleep. I’ll let your teachers know that you won’t be in today.” His son looked up at him, confusion plastered across his face. “Trust me, son. You’re gonna need it.” He was referring to Karissa’s reaction and knew his son understood. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Jag was sitting at the kitchen table when his family started to wake up. He didn’t have to be a Jedi to know by the sounds coming from the boys’ room that they were already antagonizing each other and they hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet. A smile came to his face as he heard Jessa talking to her stuffed animals, telling them she would be back before she left for school. He didn’t hear the usual sounds from Karissa though, and he sighed as he thought about how bad this was going to be when he said something to her. Not only had she lied to him about where she was going last night, she had asked Jarik to lie for her. That coupled with the fact that she hadn’t intended to say anything to anyone about what happened to her last night, did not make Jagged Fel very happy. His wife was not going to be happy either. He said nothing as the boys came into the kitchen 30 minutes later, gave their father an inattentive hello as they grabbed some food, then left to go down to Jared’s place to see Aiden. Jared would make sure they got to school today, as always. Jessa came in and sat down at the table, soon followed by her mother. Jaina glanced at Jag, knowing something was wrong, but didn’t say anything. She assumed that he would wait until Jessa and Karissa had gone to school. Twenty minutes later, Kyp came by to pick up Jessa and take her and Rika to school, and still Jag hadn’t moved or said anything. Jaina sat down next to him, sipping her caf and decided to broach the subject. “What’s wrong?” Jag glanced at her briefly, and she felt his shields slip slightly. Her eyes widened at the anger she felt boiling off of him and she suddenly became worried. Before she got a chance to ask though, Karissa walked into the kitchen, a fake smile on her face. He followed her progress to the cooler unit and crossed his arms over his chest. “Sit down, Karissa.” He commanded quietly. Jaina saw her daughter stiffen and glanced back and forth between the two of them. “What’s going on?” She demanded, starting to get nervous. Silently, their daughter came and sat at the other end of the table from them, her gaze suddenly finding the grain in the table the most facinating thing in the universe. “You’re grounded for a month.” Jag told her and didn’t flinch when both women whipped their gazes to him. If anything, his gaze narrowed as he saw Karissa start to get angry. “He told you, didn’t he!” She yelled. Jaina sat there, wondering what in the sith was going on. “He promised he wouldn’t!” Karissa started to get up from the table, when her mother stopped her. “You’re lucky he told me, period. I have half a mind to ground you until you’re 30.” “Sit down.” Jaina told her daughter, then turned back to her husband. “What happened?” “Ask your daughter.” He said calmly, though he felt anything but. “Karissa?” She wouldn’t meet her mother’s eyes, knowing that in a few seconds she would be just as mad as her father. Clearing her throat, she sighed and told her. “I went to a party last night.” Jaina didn’t say anything for a minute, just sat there and stared at her oldest child. Karissa had always been a good kid. She tended to do levelheaded things and didn’t let people lead her in the wrong direction. So this came as a shock to Jaina. “So you lied to us.” Jaina said quietly. Karissa nodded her head, still staring at the tabletop. She wasn’t about to volunteer anything else. “Tell her the rest, Karissa.” Her father ground out. She knew he was trying to keep from yelling right now and that didn’t really make her feel any better. “Or, should I call Jarik over here so he can tell her?” Her eyes shot up then and he raised his scarred brow at the anger he saw there. He didn’t envy Jarik right now. Karissa wasn’t going to forgive him anytime soon, and that was unfortunate since he had probably saved her life. Hopefully, someday she would realize that. “What else happened?” Jaina asked cautiously. Karissa kept silent, determined not to say anything. She really couldn’t get in any more trouble than she was already in. Could she? The disappointment and anger seethed from her father, and she fought back the tears. She hated disappointing him, but she just couldn’t bring herself to say it. “She was attacked last night on the way home.” Jag whispered, having to force himself to say the words. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Jarik vaguely registered that someone was knocking on his bedroom door. When his dad had told him to go back to bed, he’d done just that. His exhausted body had fallen instantly asleep but his mind had kept working. Force he hated that. Hearing the knock again, he groaned and effortlessly opened the door. Too tired to even turn his head the other way, he smiled when he felt his friend’s presence. “Wow. You look as bad as I feel.” Micah said, falling onto the bed next to him. Thankfully his bed was huge and he had no issues with Micah making himself at home. Considering he could kick him out of it before he could utter ‘uncle’. “Thanks. Glad to know you’re feeling my pain this morning buddy.” Jarik said dryly, finally turning his head to look at Micah. There were dark rings under his eyes and he felt shaky in the force. “You ok?” He asked quietly. Micah brought a hand up to rub his temples. “Yeah. Just feel like shavit.” “Well, if you wouldn’t have drank so much last night…” “Dude, I was sober by the time I got your call. Seeing your life flash before your eyes will do that to you.” The younger man said, his arm falling back to the bed. “How’s Sari?” “Well, she was scared out of her mind when I dropped her off. I think she was feeling a little guilty too. She apparently talked Kissa into going last night.” “Ah.” Came Jarik’s reply. The two friends laid in silence for a few minutes, trying to decide if more talk was needed before committing themselves to it. “You got classes?” Jarik asked. “Yeah, but I’m cutting them. Dad tore me a new one this morning and mom wasn’t too happy either. But they told me to stay home and get some rest.” “Me too. Well, dad told me. I wasn’t in the room when he told mom, but I’m sure he did.” Silence. “You don’t think that the person who att…”Micah started, only to be stopped when he turned his head and met Jarik’s gaze. “Yeah, I do.” Silence. “I bet uncle Jag was furious.” “He definitely wasn’t happy. Karissa won’t be either when she finds out I ratted on her.” Micah snorted. “Dude, you didn’t rat on her. You probably saved her life. She knew she wasn’t supposed to be there.” “Yeah.” Silence. “She’s still gonna be pissed, though.” Jarik added. “Definitely.” Silence. “You crashing here?” “Yep.” ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ They had sat at the table for a while after Karissa had gone back to her room. Jaina knew her daughter hadn’t gotten any sleep last night, so she told her to go back to bed and she would take care of letting her teachers know. Jag had closed himself back off from their bond, but Jaina knew he was still livid. It was evident in his posture and his silence. Finally, she got up to put their dishes into the sink and started to turn around when her emotions got the better of her. She never heard him get up, but he was suddenly there holding her as she wept. He whispered assurances to her quietly as she cried, running a hand up and down her back. After the storm had passed, she heard him sigh and leaned back to look at him. “Last night, when I…” “I know.” He told her, feeling just as guilty as she was. They had been at dinner last night when Jaina had felt something. At least once a month he made sure he took Jaina out to a nice dinner, just the two of them. Not that they minded taking their kids, but it was nice to spend time alone. They didn’t get nearly enough of it. Towards the end of dinner, Jaina had suddenly stopped in mid sentence, dropping her utensil in the process. Jag had fought the panic down, knowing it was one of their children. “Jaina?” “Kissa was upset.” She whispered. “Then she cut me off.” “But she’s ok?” Jag asked worriedly. “We can go home now if...” Jaina reached out to her daughter, but only felt a calm return from her. Then Karissa cut her off again. “I think she’s ok.” Jaina answered him, but he could tell by her look she wasn’t convinced. “We’ll go.” He said, starting to stand when she laid a hand on his arm. “If she’s in trouble, she’ll let us know.” She told him quietly as he sat back down. “She’s going to be an adult soon Jag. We have to trust her.” Jag simply nodded, but they both knew it would worry them the rest of the night. “We should have…” Jaina started, when he interrupted her again. “I know. But there was nothing we could have done, Jay. Jarik would have already gotten to her by the time we would have even started looking for her.” He whispered and she laid her head back on his chest. She knew he was right, but the guilt was still there. “What I want to know, is how he managed to attack her?” Jag asked a few minutes later. “She’s a Jedi. How did he sneak up on her?” Jaina sniffed and hugged him tighter. “It’s possible that she was so upset that she didn’t really pay attention to her surroundings. She knew that it was dangerous to be out by herself, but she was anyway. I have to believe she just wasn’t thinking straight. She’s not that stupid.” He snorted. “I’m not sure she was using her brain at all last night. Considering she bold faced lied to us once and almost got away with it twice.” She didn’t respond and he sighed. At least she would be safe today, in the apartment. Jag had a hard time thinking she was going to leave it today while they were away. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ -----signature----- Stories are in my bio! Have at it!

	You know, I have this feeling that this Cutter dude is something more than a normal human, even more than a Jedi. In which way was his life ruined? This might be a little far fetched, but did someone experiment on him? It's not easy to sneak up on a Jedi and he managed it so I'm guessing he must be special in some way. Kissa's being a brat, though. She got attacked and won't tell her parents? I hope she's not too mad at Jarik. She shouldn't be since she's the one who got attacked and lied. Great update! -----signature----- I'm having trouble dealing with the fact that Kyp Durron is a fictional character

	Great update,great conversations. When Jaina was Karissa's age she was lying in Rogue Squadron. I think the girl's got too much time on her hands. ship her off to the miltary academy! I get the dynamics BTW of where the kids go. Jared's kids go to the miltary academy and the Force sensitive kids go to the Jedi Academy. Maybe this scare will sober Karissa up, she seems to be going through a "I have my head up my you-know-what" stage right now. -----signature----- Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes.

	Next chapter. This one should surprise most of you... Enjoy! ~Sab ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Chapter 13 Following morning, dawn… He sighed heavily as her beautiful eyes started to droop shut, her mouth open in a silent scream. His fingers clenched unconsciously around her slender neck and his pulse raced as it always did. This one wasn’t as satisfying though. She didn’t fit into his plan, rather she was a message. A message that Cutter didn’t take no for an answer, from anyone. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Kyp jerked awake, his breathing heavy as he took a few seconds to collect himself. He sensed danger, but it was muted, as if far away. Clearing his throat quietly, he turned his head to see Jade peacefully sleeping beside him. He gazed at her for a few minutes, a smile climbing to his face then sighed realizing he wasn’t going to be falling right back to sleep. Quietly, he got out of bed and padded towards the fresher when a potent wave of anger stopped him. His knees nearly buckled from the intensity and he blindly grasped for the wall to steady himself. Leaning his head against the cool wood he took a handful of deep breaths as he slowly felt the blackness recede. “That was intense.” He said quietly, turning to see if he had made enough noise to wake his wife. Satisfied that she was still sleeping soundly, he gathered his wits enough to stumble into the fresher. He waited until the door shut behind him to turn on the light and half expected to see something behind him in the mirror. That’s the last time I watch a horrorfilm with Galven. He thought to himself, leaning down to turn the water on and splash a little on his face. When he righted himself he ran his hand over his jaw and stared at his reflection. He hadn’t felt anger like that in a long time and if he wasn’t losing his touch he could swear it was directed at him. Reaching out he tried to see if he could find the source, but was met with a wall. Weird. Was he inadvertently connecting with a force user somewhere? Or was this just a random burst of anger he just happened to catch? He had trouble believing it was the latter. His shields weren’t perfect, but they were better than that. Shaking his head slightly, he grabbed a hand towel to wipe his face off and walked back into the bedroom. Slipping quietly back into bed, he started to pull Jade into his arms then stopped. Just because he was up at this hour, didn’t mean she needed to be. Somehow, she sensed his uneasiness though because she reached out and pulled him closer. Smiling to himself, he kissed her forehead and tried to turn his brain off. “Kyp?” “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.” He whispered, one hand caressing the back of her head. “It’s ok.” She said, her voice husky with sleep. “You all right?” “Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be watching anymore holofilms with Galven though.” He joked, hearing her chuckle at his response. “Well, the one you watched was particularly gruesome.” “I’m starting to wonder if I need to worry about him.” Kyp joked. “Nah. He’s a typical teenager. Jarik likes those things too and I remember my brother forcing me to watch them growing up. He’ll be fine.” She placed a kiss on his chest and his hand stilled. “You are insatiable, you know that.” He mumbled knowing full well he wasn’t upset about it. She would know that too. “I don’t remember hearing you complain dear.” Another kiss joined the first and he found his disquiet from the unexplained wake up call disappearing quickly. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Later that morning… Jarik was standing in the hallway, talking to one of his friends, when he felt her coming down the hall. Plastering a smile onto his face, he said goodbye to his friend, then turned to greet her. “Hey Karissa…OW!” Jarik shouted, holding his shoulder as he grimaced. “That hurt.” She leaned close to him, anger roiling off her. “You’re lucky I haven’t finished my saber yet or I’d stab you with it.” She seethed, then stalked away from him. “Karissa!” He called after her, weaving his way through the crowd of kids leaving their classes. It had been a little over a day since he had seen her and while he had braced himself for this confrontation, he hadn’t been fully prepared for it. He finally caught up to her and grabbed her arm, pulling her into a nearby classroom that was thankfully empty. Jarik stood between her and the door, not giving her a way out. Though he knew if she really wanted out, she would accomplish that goal. “Just let me apologize.” He asked her as she paced the room like a caged animal. “Apologize?! How do you apologize for breaking your promise?!” She screamed at him. “Damn it Karissa, I couldn’t keep that from your father. I should have gone straight to him, but I didn’t out of deference to you. I know you’re pissed at me…” “That doesn’t even begin to cover it.” She said coming closer and poking a finger in his chest. “I’m beyond pissed.” “Kissa, your parents had to know. Surely you can see that, even though you’re angry with me. You want someone to take your anger out on, fine. I’m right here and no one else is around. Have at it!” He shouted back, throwing his arms wide, his own anger starting to rise. She stopped and turned away from him, fighting the tears that were threatening to fall. The room was plunged into silence, except for their breathing and Jarik finally walked over to her. She turned as he moved to take her in his arms and he buried his face in her hair. “Gods Karissa, I’m so sorry I had to break my promise to you. Please don’t think that I found it easy.” He told her, closing his eyes when he felt the wetness of her tears through his shirt. “I thought we were friends.” She sobbed, and he knew she was trying to hang onto her anger but was failing miserably. “We are. You’re the most important person in my life.” He whispered, and smiled when her head came up, confusion stamped on her beautiful, tear stained face. “I am?” “Sure. You’re kinda like the sister I don’t have to live with.” He joked, not really feeling very brotherly lately. Karissa’s face fell and he frowned at the response. “What, you don’t want to be like the sister I don’t have to live with?” The sound of the door swooshing open stopped her response and they both turned to look at the intruder. Her father had walked partway into the room and stopped about 2 meters from them. He was now looking at them with a blank expression. Karissa realized they were standing entirely too close to one another and took a step back, trying to compose herself. “Is there a particular reason you two are in my classroom? Alone.” He asked, not moving as his eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. “Um…”Karissa started, but Jarik was faster. “She just wanted to thank me for the other night by ramming me through with a light saber. We figured it would be less messy in here than out in the hall.” The silence was profound after Jarik’s statement and both youngsters became uneasy. Jag, simply stood there revealing nothing. Finally, he sighed then started over towards his desk. “Go do it in Durron’s room. I have class this afternoon and don’t really feel like cleaning up the blood.” He sat down at his desk and after a few minutes realized they were both still there, staring at him. “Why are you still here?” Instantly they moved towards the door, almost as one and Jag had to fight the laughter down. He could imagine his daughter had tore Jarik one, but he knew the boy could hold his own where his little girl was concerned. Out in the hall, the pair had stopped right outside the door still in shock. “I’m sorry I yelled at you.” She mumbled and he had to smile. “It’s ok. I’m kinda used to it.” ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Zoan didn’t acknowledge Ajani when he sat down next to his desk. Chancing a glance at the older man a few minutes later, he noticed how weary he looked. Not that he was surprised. This case was weighing heavily on him, on all of them. He suspected there was another reason Ajani looked so downbeat, but he kept his comments to himself. His boss liked to keep his personal life just that; personal. “What you got?” Ajani finally asked. “Got a call at 0400 hours this morning from someone saying there was a body on the steps of the Jedi temple. I took the CSI guys out and we found a 17 year old female, blond, green eyed on the bottom portion of the temple steps.” Zoan paused, his fingers rapping on the desk. “She fits the MO.” He added quietly, sitting back in his chair to make eye contact. Ajani stared at him, not sure what to say. Either their killer was changing his victims or they had a copycat. He wasn’t happy with either theory. “You id her yet?” “Yep.” “And…” “You’re not gonna like it.” Zoan told him. “I don’t like a lot of things Zo, now tell me who the vic is.” “Mya Cortz.” ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Short but sweet!

	Even though Cutter's completely freaking me out, he is one darn interesting character. That’s the last time I watch a horrorfilm with Galven What we do for our kids. He hadn’t felt anger like that in a long time and if he wasn’t losing his touch he could swear it was directed at him. Now I'm thinking Cutter and Kyp are connected somehow. “You’re lucky I haven’t finished my saber yet or I’d stab you with it.” She seethed, then stalked away from him. Teenage girls. “Kissa, your parents had to know. Surely you can see that, even though you’re angry with me. You want someone to take your anger out on, fine. I’m right here and no one else is around. Have at it!” He shouted back, throwing his arms wide, his own anger starting to rise. Go Jarik! “Is there a particular reason you two are in my classroom? Alone.” He asked, not moving as his eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. How embarassing. Oh crap, Mya's dead? Wasn't expecting that. Great update! -----signature----- I'm having trouble dealing with the fact that Kyp Durron is a fictional character

Ain't that the truth. Now I'm thinking Cutter and Kyp are connected somehow. Teenage girls. LOL Go Jarik! Even he can lose his patience. How embarassing. Well, since the adults can't keep from getting caught in awkward situations, I figured the kids might as well be the same way. LOL Oh crap, Mya's dead? Wasn't expecting that. Good. LOL Great update!
