G__Anakin: Not sure if I would consider it scary yet. It is only scary when Palpatine finds out.

HandmaidenVeme: Of course there is, even though I think she was a lot nicer than she should have been. Of course it is probably not wise to anger a Sith, even if he is your husband. We don't want a repeat of the Force choking incident from the movies.

Star_Angel: Just for the record, Aila still will not know about her pregnancy in this chapter. she will find out, just not yet.

Lady_Jade: The good new is she is not going to run into Palpatine immediately, but he will show his ugly face one of these days.

Tatooine_Ghost: Thanks for reading.

Amidala66: Your kitty has good taste, but she better watch it. Obi-Wan is mine! tongue I don't share. tongue I wouldn't put it past Avarik to do a memory wipe, I just hope he remembers what those healers said about memory wipes.

SKYWALKER024: Sidious is not going to be pleased when he finds out Aila is around.

obsessedwithSW: Yes, Sidious will want the baby to replace Obi-Wan. That piece of information is important for later. As for the choice I made on the baby's gender. I have a reason for everything. wink

FitJedi: No, Aila is going to be less than thrilled when she realizes what Avarik has done. He has found it convenient to knock her out for far too long.

WANNA-BE-JEDI-KNIGHT: Well if you kill Avarik it kills off Obi-Wan (physically). If that happened the question would become whether Obi-Wan's soul woul be left in tact become one with the Force. But do you want to really kill off Avarik? worried

CommanderK23: It was Obi-Wan's fault! He's the one with the delusions of grandeur! tongue Well at least they are delusions if nothing else. wink You bad feeling is warranted.

JENNA: Sidious will need to act quickly against his apprentice to maintain his control on the young Sith, but we aren't quite there yet. His royal sithliness will show up, but a few other issues need to be dealt with first.

darksideyesplease: Thanks! grin

To Everybody: Happy New Year! As I said in my previous post, there is going to be about a week - two week gap between this chapter and the next one. I would suspect two weeks before DRL calms down for me. I might pop in and leave you all some author replies though. Anyways, here is the next chapter before my hiatus:


Chapter 5: The Broken Promise and a Broken Hope

Avarik landed his starfighter in the main landing bay of the Star Destroyer under his command. As he opened up the ship’s hatch and used the Force to help him get himself and Aila out of the ship, a few of the officers under his command ran to his side.

“Milord.” One of the officers stated with a salute. “Where would you like your prisoner taken?” The officer did not recognize the slumbering woman and gestured for a pair of clone troopers to remove the burden in the Sith’s arms.

“Prisoner?” Avarik asked, scrunching his brow in confusion. He was barely listening to his officer; his sole focus was on locking himself and Aila in his private quarters.

“The woman.” The officer explained, gesturing towards Aila with his hands. At the same time, the two clones came towards Avarik’s side and began to pull Aila from his arms.

“No!” Avarik screamed in rage, his eyes immediately flashing yellow. The clone troopers and the officer who had called for them were thrown backwards against the landing bay’s far walls. The two clones were rendered unconscious by the impact to the back of their heads. However, without the luxury of wearing a helmet, the officer was killed instantly when his skill cracked against the thick durasteel. “She is not my prisoner, she is my wife!” Avarik declared menacingly as he quickened his pace out of the landing bay. His arms protectively tightened around the unconscious woman in his arms while behind him, three other officers cast each other worried and confused looks before following after their commanding officer.

None of the officers that followed the Sith said anything as they trailed after him. After the violent display they had just witnessed, they all remained a few steps behind the Sith, fearful of a repeat performance. The only thing that drove their steps was the fact that they needed the Sith’s next set of orders before they could depart for their regular positions onboard the ship.

Avarik did not pause his steps until he reached the door of his quarters; where he immediately spun on his heel towards his officers. “Scan the area or any Jedi and deal with them.”

“It will be done Milord.” They all replied with a skittish bow.

“No one is to interrupt me! No one!” He barked, his eyes flashing bright amber before his gaze turned towards Aila. He smiled fondly at his wife as his natural blue green color returned to his eyes. His tone softened as he stated, “We need some time alone.”

“Ye… yes milord.” The officers stuttered out giving another tentative bow. They all had questions in their minds, but we unable to voice them as the Sith closed the doors behind him and the woman he claimed to be his wife.

Behind the closed door, Avarik purposely strode to the bed that had been cold and lonely the past few weeks. Shifting Aila in his arms, he gave a slight wave of his hand to turn the covers down before laying Aila on the tiny bed. It was not the same bed they had shared in their Coruscant apartment, but Avarik would order that to be remedied tomorrow. For now he just wanted to spend a restful evening with his wife.

Before shrugging out of his cloak and robes, Avarik settled his old lightsaber that Aila had kept with her on Earth, on a shelf beside her side of the bed. Then, the Sith Lord quickly pulled on a pair of black sleep pants before crawling into bed beside his wife. He wrapped a protective arm around her and pulled her close into his chest before planting a light kiss to the back of her neck. “I love you.” He murmured as he ran his right hand over her abdomen. The Force rippled as he searched for the tiny being growing within and he gave a content sigh as he felt it. “Sleep well you two. I will protect you.”

With the end of his statement, Avarik settled back against his pillows, pulling a light blanket over the two of them. Aila would not awaken until the following morning, so for now he was content to just hold her while he settled down into his first restful slumber in weeks.

***

The following morning, Aila stirred in her sleep, snuggling back against the warm body beside her. She gave a content sigh as two arms tightened around her.

“Good morning.” Avarik murmured sleepily into her ear as he nuzzled the side of her neck.

For a moment Aila relaxed into her husband, but as she woke up and her mind began processing the night’s previous events she tensed in his arms as she stared at her unfamiliar surroundings.

“Where… where are we?” Aila asked shakily.

“Our new home aboard my Star Destroyer.” Avarik stated, his lips traveling down the back of Aila’s neck.

“No.” Aila gasped, jerking out of her husband’s arms. “No.”

“Aila.” Avarik stated soothingly, tightening his hold on her as he attempted to pull her closer against him.

“No!” Aila shouted, pushing fervently against Avarik’s arms. “Let me go!”

Avarik refused to let go and maintained a tight hold on Aila, trying to whisper soothing words to her. However, when she unexpectedly kicked his shin, he lost his grip as both Aila and himself gave a small groan of pain. Aila felt a pain in her heel when her foot connected with the durasteel in his leg, and he groaned as her discomfort emanated to him over their Force bond. Despite the pain, this momentary distraction allowed Aila to wriggle free from him to stand next to the bed. She glanced around the plain room taking in what her husband had just told her. Her face grew pale and her body visibly trembled as she scanned the unfamiliar surroundings.

“Aila, what is wrong?” Avarik asked as he sat up in bed.

“You… you…” Aila stuttered, running her fingers through her long hair. A combination of fear and regret began to emanate from her to Avarik.

“Aila?” Avarik asked more firmly, sliding towards her end of the bed. “What is it?” His voice and eyes were full of concern. He stood from the bed and reached a hand out to draw her to him, but she swatted his hands away.

“No! Get away from me!” Aila shouted, backpedaling away from her husband.

Avarik’s eyes momentarily flashed yellow in response to Aila’s rebuke, but they softened as he watched her bottom lip tremble. “Tell me what is wrong.” He urged.

“You… you kidnapped me. You took me from my home.” She looked up at her husband, waiting for an explanation.

Avarik just shrugged. “You were stolen from me, first. Your home is here, with me. I was just returning you to your rightful place.”

“You used the Force on me.” Aila’s voice had a hint of sorrow in it as she added. “You promised, you wouldn’t…. When we were married you promised me you would never use the Force against me.”

“Except for when you were in danger.” Avarik countered matter-of-factly.

Aila’s eyes narrowed at this. “When was I in danger?”

“You were panicking unnecessarily, and you do not need to be overstressed, my goddess.”

The sadness in Aila’s tone vanished to be replaced with anger, her eyes flashed dangerously at her husband. She took a step towards him and jabbed a finger into his chest. “You used the Force against my parents. You should have let me talk to them! They deserved an explanation, but you wouldn’t let me! Now they are going to worry!”

“They know I am with you.” Avarik tried to catch the hand that was poking his chest in his own, but Aila pulled it away from him.

“Don’t touch me!” Aila yelled. “You had no right to do that. You should have let me talk to them!”

“They would not have let you go!” Avarik shouted back, crossing his arms over his chest in irritation as he glared back at Aila.

“That was not their decision. It was not your decision. It was mine!” Aila crossed her own arms over her chest, stomping her foot on the ground to emphasize her point. “You seem intent on making all of my decisions, and I won’t have it. You will not…” Aila enunciated every word slowly to ensure her husband heard them. “…Use the Force on me again.”

“You don’t want to be with me?” Avarik’s heart broke at his own words as his eyes that had been filled with anger glazed over with despair.

“You know better than that.” Aila sternly replied. “I love you and want to be with you, but not if you are going to use your abilities against me.”

Avarik’s heart soared at Aila’s admission that she would have gone with him, and he attempted to gather her in his arms once more.

“I said!” Aila growled. “Don’t touch me! I might love you, but I am not happy with you at the moment.”

Avarik gave an exasperated sigh, rolling his eyes as he ran a hand through his sleep tousled hair. “Aila, I had to….”

“No you didn’t!” Aila interrupted his explanation. “…Just as you did not have to erase my memories.” Tears formed in her eyes and slowly trailed down her cheeks as her voice began to crack. “I can’t believe you did that. You weren’t protecting me, you were protecting yourself. You shut me out because you feared what I would think, and now look at you. Why didn’t you let me help you?”

Straightening his shoulders in his defense Avarik spoke softly. “I had to protect you from the Jedi, they tried to kill you.”

“That is what your new Master says.” Aila spat. “I don’t believe it. Anakin was a Jedi and he didn’t kill me. He had the chance.”

Avarik’s eyes flashed yellow at the name of his former apprentice. “He hid you from me.” He stated dangerously. “He tried to split us apart. He will pay for that.”

“Listen to yourself!” Aila pleaded, wiping away the tears from her cheek. “This isn’t you. You are stronger than this.”

Avarik’s tone became monotone as he responded. “I am strong because I have been enlightened to the lies of the Jedi. I did what I had to, in order to protect you. I will continue to do that. Once I defeat my Master you will join my side as my Empress and we will rule together.”

“And what if I refuse.” Aila scoffed.

“You won’t.” Avarik countered, his eyes locking with Aila’s. He sent a feeling of stern resolve over their Force bond to emphasize his point.

Once again, Aila crossed her arms over her chest as her ire grew. “You are going to use the Force against me again? You think that will change my mind? I might not be able to manipulate it like you can, but I’ll remind you that I have some power too.” Then although it pained her to do it she gathered her concentration and shut off her side of the Force bond with her husband.

Avarik gasped and tried to press against the bond to get her to open it once more. He had just regained the connection with her and he did not want to lose it again. “Aila.” He gasped out with a plea as he struggled against her efforts. Avarik did succeed in keeping bond open, but Aila was tiring herself out fighting against him. Although it pained him, he eventually relinquished his hold on the bond and allowed her to close it because he did not want her to wear herself out and cause harm to their baby. However, the sudden severance of the bond caused Avarik to wince and sway slightly on his feet as a wave of emptiness cascaded upon him.

Through tear filled eyes Aila coldly replied to his statement. “I married Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. Until he shows his face again, I will not open up that bond. A Sith does not deserve it.”

“I’m sorry.” Avarik pleaded again, raising his left hand to caress Aila’s cheek, but instead of leaning into his hand as she usually did, she turned away from his touch.

Once again, his eyes dangerously flashed amber in response to this rebuke. His heart was breaking, but at the same time a great rage was boiling within him. He knew he had to leave before he did something he regretted.

He turned on his heel and stormed towards the door of his quarters. Before he left he spoke a few final words. “The Jedi are dead, my wife. You will have to accept that the Sith are our future.” Then with one last cold look at his wife, Avarik let the door to his quarters slide shut behind him.

Aila’s bottom lip trembled as she stared blankly at the closed door. Avarik’s last words ripped at her heart. Her husband, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, was gone. He had been taken from her by Darth Avarik and what little faith she had that he could return was fading as she replayed their last argument.

As her body trembled in grief, Aila slowly walked towards the tiny bed in Avarik’s quarters and sat herself down upon it before great sobs wracked her body. For a short time she had been relieved to see Avarik, thinking her husband had returned, but now she mourned again for him. After their fight, she could find no hope for the reclamation of Obi-Wan’s soul.

Aw...I'm part way through the prequel (Obi's still good when I lost my internet connection last night) so I'm not totally up to date, but, aw. I always hope dark Obi is reclaimed by the light.

“I said!” Aila growled. “Don’t touch me! I might love you, but I am not happy with you at the moment.”

Good for Aila not taking anything from Avarik, at least she is standing her ground for what she believes is right. It will be interesting to see what will happen between the two of them- will her love for Obi-Wan bring him back and make him see that what he's doing is wrong or is he too far gone to the dark side to see anything? Great update yet again, I'm anxious for more.

Good update, I wonder how long it will take before Aila forgets or at least forgives him. and hopefully she will formulate a plan to at least try to turn him back to the light, but we know she will need Anakin's help for that.

I am liking this story a lot, but I truly hope Obi-wan can be saved...

However, you made me smile with this line:

However, when she unexpectedly kicked his shin, he gave a small groan of pain before he lost his grip.

But Obi-Wan's lower legs are durasteel now ( I shudder at the mere idea)...how can a bare foot cause him pain?

Actually, if I wrote it right, a bare foot can cause him pain, which it does now.

Aila is pronouced: A-la

Just like Aayla Secura. Aila is just the earthy spelling of Aayla.

To Everybody: Ok, for those who might have noticed, I have now edited the chapter several times after I fixed the continuity error. It is now where I want it. Sorry for any confusion on the error, even though it looks like most of you (like me) did not notice it.

Actually, in the first draft of the end of "Always in Motion," Obi-Wan only lost 1 leg, not two. So had that stayed there would have been no continuity error. It was a last minute decision to make him lose both legs. I felt the physics behind it worked better that way. I just wasn't thinking straight when I wrote this section. Oh well. It is fixed now. happy

Maybe Aila could have kicked him a bit higher. mischief Then there wouldn't have been a continuty error, but I really don't want to know how a Sith Lord in that kind of pain would react. tongue wink

As always, I loved the update! Although, it frustrated me to no end! He never heard a word Aila said frustrated ! She had so many valid points to address and he just brushed it all off and turned everything to focus on himself and his needs. Obi-wan, Obi-wan, what a very "sithy" thing to do!(pardon my pun wink )


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

That was a great update. It will definately tide me over until you finish with the accounting close.

As for my 2 3 month old kittens, they love Obi Wan. happy They only get on my lap when I am reading this story. What can I say, they have great taste and they realize that Obi is yours. tongue

But do you really want him the way he is acting?? Aila is very well written in this chapter.

Happy New Year if I didn't tell you already.
