Dude, you're killing me!!! Here I thought after six months you'd have a TON of chapters done, but yet you still have me hanging on for more!

And remember, I was one of the ones who started reading this story on your OLD thread!!!

Still, the story is very cool.

(can't wait for McCoy and Veers to go at it again in the new trial wink )

Looks like there is going to be a further delay for the next chapter. My computer got attacked by the WIN32 NetSky virus and I fear that I will lose everything, including the new chapters. sad

Pray that I can salvage my files.

I'm going to try and get this story finished before October cause then after that DRL is really gonna become my master sad

Part 1 of 3



Chapter XVIII - Dark Confessions

“You almost had it in there.” Lana told him after they had walked several minutes away from the burning wreckage. Veers had been coughing the toxic fumes from his lungs along the way and had used the female rebel for support. She still held him up by an arm over her shoulder and her arm around his waist. Lana did not understand why she suddenly now chose to help him. He had been the cause of the shuttle crash and the deaths of four of her friends.

“I would have perished no thanks to you double-crossing me.” Veers chastised and pulled away from her.

“What!” She exclaimed in bafflement and was appalled at what the Imperial was implying. “What are you talking about?”

“Don’t play innocent with me, scum!” Veers snapped and pointed an accusing finger toward her. “You closed the ramp on me before I could begin climbing out after you!”

“You thought I did that?” She replied back in the same tone he was using toward her. “You thought I had closed the ramp just to kill you? If I wanted you dead then why did I help you out! Answer me that question, Imperial!”

“You will address me as Colonel Veers,” he snarled and started walking away. Once more he wanted to get away from the crash site before any more rebels showed up to capture him again. After a few minutes of walking and once he had the chance to calm down, he realized that Lana may not have been the cause of the ramp closing on him.

He glanced over his shoulder and was surprised to see that she was following him. He had half expected her to stay with her dead comrades and wait for help to come. Maybe she still thinks I am her prisoner, he thought, and she has to stay with me? Veers knew they both were unarmed and he could easily overpower her and make her his prisoner instead.

“Why do you still follow me?” he asked.

Lana looked over in his direction and away from a woolamander that had been lumbering through the foliage nearby. “Why do you care?”

“You could have stayed at the shuttle until your friends showed up.”

“And wait to become some predators next meal?” Lana shook her head several times. “Besides, you are heading toward the Massassi ruins where I have a great deal of many friends waiting there.”

"They won't get the chance to capture me," Veers replied and turned his attention back to where he was going. His thoughts drifted what the female had said to him. Could she be telling the truth? he thought and furrowed his eyebrows in frustration. He knew she had been right about wanting to kill him. If she had wanted to, she could have just left him to die in the burning shuttle. Yet she had not and that left him a little perplexed about the whole thing. Could the ramp just have closed on itself? There was a possiblity for it, if the ramp's hydralics had not been working properly.

He was uncertain as to what had happened with the ramp. All he knew was that it had closed and he was choking on the filthy air and sweating in the scorching heat. Veers had called for Exur Kun's help and the ghostly Sith Lord had materlized before him rather quickly and instructed him on how to get out of the mess he was in. The Imperial Colonel frowned noticeably as a thought struck him like a lightning bolt striking a tree.

He wouldn't have ... would he?

After an hour of silence and travel, Colonel Veers slowed his pace so that he could walk side by side with Lana. "You did not close the ramp on me?" he rhetorically asked her.

"I told you before," Lana bitterly replied and folded her arms across her chest. She did not look at him, but Veers could see the grief in her face at the loss of her friends. "Though maybe I should have."

He deserved that.

"Can ... you tell me what had happened then?" he asked. If perhaps she could shed some light on the incident, he might be able to draw some better conclusions and discard other and more ridiciously possiblities. The rebel was silent for several long seconds before she turned her hazel gaze back on him. Her facial expression was quiet but he could still see some of the grief in the curve of her lips, the tightness of her jaw and the firmness of her brow.

"I don't know exactly what had happened," she answered and then lowered her gaze to the ground in front of her. "All I remember is you trying to push me out through the space and then I was turning around to offer you a hand when it ... I guess collapsed and closed on you."

"No sounds of mechanical failure?"

"I don't remember."

"Who were you talking to inside the transport?" Colonel Veers was caught off guard by her question and he opened his mouth to respond but could not find the words to answer he inquiry. He turned away from her and stared ahead of them and concentrated his gaze on a fallen and rotting tree. "Were one of the others still alive?"

He did not like her tone when she asked that. It sounded demanding and accusing to him. Veers shook his head slightly and answered; "No one else was in there except corpses."

"But I heard you speaking to someone," Lana paused for second as she looked at her memories on the crash. "Someone named Exar."

Veers came to a sudden and abrupt halt that surprised Lana. He could see that the rebel realized she had overheard something important while he had been trapped in the shuttle. "It ... is just a ... curse," he stammered over his response. He saw that she did not buy into his answer and gave him an accusing look that suddenly reminded him of the way his wife glared at him when he was avoiding answering her questions about things.

"I know plenty of curses, including Corellian and I know Exar is not one of them."

"It is not important," he lied and started walking again. He brushed past her, storming ahead at a pace that his injuries would allow him.

"It must be if you are avoiding answer my questions about it!" Lana shouted after him.

Why don't you tell her. Veers heard in his ear from his master. The Imperial's eyebrows frowned in annoyance at the intrusion and he shook his head.

I don't want her to think I am crazy.

She already does.

How do you know?
he bit back sarcastically.

Who here is the Sith Lord? Exar Kun rhetorically asked and Veers could almost see in his mind's eye a smirking ghost.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you anyway," Veers finally said over his shoulder. Lana Cordel caught up with him and walked at his side again.

"Try me," she challenged.

Veers stopped again and turned to face her with a contemplative look on his face. "He is Exar Kun, a dead Sith Lord who offered to help me off this moon." He had expected her to treat his confession as a ludicrous story to avoid in answering her. He had not expected her to recognize what he had told her and wear a horrorific and shocked look on her face. "What?"

"You didn't ...," she said at last, sounding astonished.

See first post "Author's Note" please. Thank you.



Chapter IXX – Ambush

“What?” Veers asked, a little surprised at her reaction. He had expected her to not believe him and dismiss his claim as lunacy. He certainly did not expect her to recognize the name or react in a horrified manner. “You know something about him?”

“He’s a Sith Lord!” she exclaimed like he did not know.

“Your point?”

“They’re evil, manipulative, lying, killers,” she explained.

“He’s dead,” the Colonel pointed out. “He can do very little to the physical world as a spirit.”

“How do you know that? How do you know he can’t just kill you with a thought?” Lana challenged and he opened his mouth to explain how he could know.

“I just know,” Veers answered hotly. This rebel was becoming just as aggravating as the Alderaanian was. He disliked it when he was questioned and always went on the defensive when someone started poking at his reasoning. When he realized that he was doing it again and growing angry from it, he immediately turned away from the rebel and started down a path that wasn’t there before to calm himself.

“You don’t know, do you?” the rebel persisted and he could hear her following him again.

She was right. He did not know whether Exar Kun could kill a person while he was a spirit. He only knew that Kun could control animals and create illusions. “Alright. I do not know if he can kill. I just know that he can control animals and make you see things.”


TO BE CONTINUED...
