Gkilkenny
:
The emotions were just like they say up and down like a roller coaster.
-That’s our Anakin.
Lincoln_6_Echo
:
Very interesting story. I like to see the Jabiim episode being explored and developed, especially now I know you are going to stick with the comics storyline and that Obi-Wan will survive.
– Closely, but there are divergences.
As for your questions about the topic of love, you know from a fic I recently wrote and you read, my ideas about the whole matter. I believe that Obi-Wan and Siri could be able to love each other without letting it blind them… would be good for them to "consume" that love.
– oh, no, love is eating them up! Yes, I think they can love without attachment, but do THEY see it that way…I do know now how I’m going – it wrote itself.
Noelie
: Anakin just wants to make everything all right and believes no one will listen to him.
VaderLVR64
: Aw, someone who knows the Jabiim arc – anything I miss or change I’ll explain as “divergences.”
Earlybird-Obi-Wan
: Poor Anakin, but poor Siri, too. It’s going to be “poor Obi-Wan” for a while now, I’m afraid. I really hope the next several chapters don’t pile it on and drag down the story, but, shrugs, that’s the way it’s going for a while.
Dianethx
:
Loved the rollercoaster ride of emotions from frustration to grief to anger
. – That’s the way humans are.
This was wonderful. You are such a good writer
. Thanks, I needed that – I slipped into one of my “I can’t write a decent story” –
– frame of mind recently. Of course, that is offset by the occasional moments where I am so humble and think “darn girl, you can write.”
Veloz
:
I hpe Obi Wan gets rescued soon, cause i cant take this torture
. Well, the next several chapters focus on Obi-Wan and Alpha pretty much as a lot of the Anakin stuff has been posted (little more til Jabiim falls) and most of the Siri stuff comes a bit later. Of course, things are subject to change.
Alley
: Yeah, I noticed the double PM listing, too after our PM.
You do a very nice job describing emotions. Anakin is so...lost...poor kid
. Yeah, he relies on others, too much, sometimes, but in this story he really does know Obi-Wan is alive for the reasons stated and he feels the Council is betraying him by not sending anyone to rescue him. Of course, no one, including Anakin, has a clue where to go, so how could the Council send anyone anywhere?
Fifilla
:
I think it must be extremely difficult for him hearing all the other people talk of Obi-Wan's death when he is so sure that his Master is still alive!
It is. And yes, I can be mean. My one co-worker tells me that at least once a week. So far I haven't gone "sithly" on him, but I base Anakin on him.
JediMasterJessica
: It’ll all work out in the end…happy stuff…mush, with its share of angst and drama, and even comedy. In fact, the post-Jabiim story is so much into the “romance” and some “comedy” that I’m thinking of calling it a Part II – I mean, going from torture to romance rather abruptly seems – abrupt.
J_Ro
: It doesn’t make a bit of difference who believes what or when. Obi-Wan and Alpha will save themselves, though Anakin is going to find a way to try to claim it.
Erikawr05
: our humble Obi-Wan at work.
obsessedwithSW
: yeah, when the two are together, there will be banter. Some battering, too (you’ll see), but mainly bantering.
Son-of-kenobi
: Why, thank you very much.
Ascal_Elassar
:
Fantastic chapter, great job on getting inside Anakin's head. I actually feel sorry for him (which is highly unusual for me)
. – me, too – I have a lot more sympathy for Anakin from stories on this board than I ever had from the movies. After all, if Obi-Wan thought of him like a beloved brother and was devastated by his turning, there had to be something good in Anakin even if I saw little of it.
General_Kenobi_66
: I
could really feel Anakin's emotios; you did a great job of getting into his head. VERY in-character for him.
Thanks, and I hope you feel the same when I get into Obi-Wan’s head, and a little bit of Alpha’s (strangely, I feel more comfortable writing Cody than Alpha).
Luna
: I
really liked how the tidbits that made him Vader still exist here in his mourning for Obi-Wan. The poor boy loses so much so often. You write his anguish ridiculously well.
– Anakin couldn’t become Vader if the potential wasn’t there. It didn’t have to be, but Palpy worked on those characteristics, Obi-Wan didn’t see them and understand them, Anakin indulged them…and Vader happened.
Barriss31
:
I like how Anakin's bond and love for his Master begin to show his possesiveness and insecurity. He will not let Obi-wan go; Obi-wan can only be dead if he allows him to be by letting go. Certainly, the words of a grieving soul, but, ultimately, the words of a selfish child.
– Yes, his love tends to possessiveness an inability to let go. “Attachments” in the Jedi (not all readers) sense of the word. Like he tells Padme, “I can’t live without you.” She has to live so he feels good, not because her death is good or bad. –
And then we get into the final rant, "You lied to me. You said you'd be here and you're not. I want you and you are not here." How dare you, Obi-wan?
– actually, to me that is just the “anger” part of the grief process, similar to Obi-Wan’s “guilt” for getting kicked and then not being at Qui-Gon’s side on Naboo.
Cael-Fenton
: Don’t apologize…please. I do not expect a response from every reader after every post. The fact that you care enough to request a PM is what “warms my heart” as Yoda said.
Okay all…the muse is somewhat back, a bit overloaded on caffeine and so not at full potency, but this chapter is going up. What I’m fighting really, is the possibility of overloading the torture and dragging it on and on and on – I just I have so much to say and hate to cut from what I’ve written. If you can stand it, you might get 4 or chapters of torture (but a fair amount of dialogue and yes – banter – not 4 chapters of Asajj did this then she did that…).
Fair warning: the last third or so will be much more a Siriwan and will stray a bit from canon compared to what has preceded it. Be prepared to bail after Obi-Wan returns to the Temple, some chapters away,if you don’t like Siriwans; once he escapes, he has to deal with the aftereffects and Siri.
Chapter 8. Silence of the Damned
Other than a faint rustle, a quiet moan from time to time, it was quiet. Moans, however, were good. They meant that Alpha was not alone, and while he did not fear that, he did fear for what that would mean should he not hear them. Moans meant Kenobi was still alive, the slow cessation of them meant he was recovering. Unfortunately, as Ventress had made all too clear, restored health would be no better for his general than before, when he had been sick and feverish: Ventress wanted the “pleasure” of reducing the Jedi to some pitiable wreck of a man.
It was a sentiment that Alpha could not understand, for people lived and people died, but needless suffering served no purpose. Enemy or fellow soldiers, if they were not outright killed in battle, their wounds were treated and health restored. Soldiers of the Republic returned to battle; Alpha supposed the former enemy combatants were housed in decent quarters and treated decently – quite decently, in fact – since the Jedi would allow nothing less.
It was not something he thought about, for rarely were the enemy sentient beings. Most of the opposition was droid armies, mere machines that could be destroyed with impunity.
Alpha’s purpose was simple: carry out orders and protect his commanders, though as an ARC Trooper he was capable of independent thinking when it came to battle strategy. No emotion interfered with a clone’s ability to carry out his duties, so Alpha was a bit surprised by his own reactions over the last few – he would call them days, not that one could tell – as he waited in silence for whatever would come. Not only waited, but hoped for his general’s recovery, listened to see if he was indeed getting better.
He found he cared, beyond that required by his duty to protect. Adversity had bound the Jedi and the clone together; their fates looked to be entwined. Whether close proximity had been the ignition or not, his relief when he found Asajj Ventress had not killed his commander on the spot had been unexpected. Now, he waited for lucidity, torn between anticipation and regret.
For now, at least, this silence which was only broken by those low moans and harsh breathing was good, for silence meant that they were alone. When that silence was broken – well, no doubt the air would be sliced by screams not whispers of pain, not too unlike the one that had shattered the quiet when Ventress had last been within the cell.
Faintly, Alpha heard what he both dreaded and hoped for – a word from his general, a soft, “oh, dear” muttered in a surprised tone.
“Finally awake again, General?”
“Awake…uh…don’t know….” The groggy whisper was music to Alpha’s ears.
“Sir. How do you feel? Are you awake?” Hopefully he would get a coherent response shortly; his general was uttering words, not just mumbling.
“Wha…? Who?”
The Jedi’s voice was beginning to sound stronger now. Despite what it portended, Alpha found it oddly reassuring. The “who?” seemed laced with a hint of humor, as if his general was trying to poke fun at himself. Trust the general, Alpha thought, to make fun of his confusion while still in that state.
There was a rustling sound and the soft clink of binders as Obi-Wan struggled to sit upright; a hiss of pain as his leg rubbed against the rough stone.
“Ventress.” Alpha figured her name would help clear the fog.
“Ah. Yes.” Obi-Wan blinked, peered through the shifting light cast by a sputtering torch. Alpha was a dim shadow across what appeared to be an underground cell of some kind. A soft sigh escaped him. “We keep having this same conversation, don’t we?”
Even if he couldn’t quite see Alpha’s smile, the Jedi knew it was there when Alpha said, “At least you’re remembering that. You were sick, and then you really took quite a crack on the head before we even got here, didn’t you?”
“So it seems.” There was a pause as he struggled to catch up to events. “How are you feeling?”
“Captive.” Alpha waited for the Jedi’s appreciative snort. “Your humor must be rubbing off on me, sir. You were rather feverish for a while; Ventress decided your leg wound was infected and she decided to drain it with a sharp knife. She took quite a delight in, ah, stabbing it in and twisting it.”
That was when a strangled scream had made Alpha think the Jedi had died with a knife in his heart. He was certain when the thud of a body hitting stone followed, but Ventress had had the leg wound treated and drained, then had it covered with a bacta patch. Twice a guard had come in, dribbled some water on the Jedi’s lips and checked the healing wound.
Casually, Alpha added, “It seems to have worked, though – too bad. I was hoping you’d wake up on a rescue ship. Ventress has been waiting for you to feel better so she can make you feel even worse. She didn’t appreciate your not feeling well, not when it was not at her own hands. I do not understand why she wants to be responsible for reducing you from health to broken health, but she wants that pleasure. Her motives are unclear; she did not state her intentions towards us. They are unpleasant I am sure.”
“Ah. Pity,” a sigh followed. “I wonder why she hasn’t killed us, or at least me. I suppose she will let us know, all within good time.”
“I think she doesn’t like you, for some reason.”
“Then I shall have to try harder to amend the impression she has of me.” There was a pause, and then worry colored the soft voice. “Have you been mistreated?”
“Only if you call being chained, ignored, and occasionally given something passing as food mistreated.”
“That may seem a desirable condition later on.” Neither man bothered to comment further, for both knew all too well what must lie ahead. “I don’t seem to have a good grasp of everything that has happened since – well, Jabiim. I only remember bits and pieces of stuff. Would you fill me in on just what I missed?”
“Are you sure you want to know, general?”
A chuckle greeted Alpha’s response. “Perhaps not. But it might prepare me for what will surely follow, and I would like to be clear on just what has happened so far. Knowledge is power; it might help us escape from here.”
Starting with their kidnapping from Jabiim up until moments ago, Alpha caught the Jedi up on recent events, with very few interruptions for clarification.
Where evil reigns and the suffering of untold generations is chained. It’s their tomb, Alpha, where the souls of the damned are forever trapped, unable to find peace. The Force itself cringes, unable to release them.
Obi-Wan knew he must have said that, if Alpha said he had. He even vaguely recalled whispering it. What had prompted him to say that? Whatever had spoken to him had fallen silent now; perhaps he could no longer hear.
Whether it was for the first time or not, Obi-Wan let his eyes wander and take measure of his situation. All he had was impressions in this eternal gloom, but the Force would shed some light once he accessed it. First he needed to clear his mind, so he did some breathing exercises and mind-focusing work until the fog clouding his mind evaporated to leave him more alert and more capable than when he had started.
What little light there was came from outside the door and from a recessed corner. There were no windows to the outside. Stone walls surrounded him, real stone, for there was a hint of moisture and decay that only came from natural stone, not duracrete. It was a clear indication that the structure was quite old, not unlike some sections of Coruscant he remembered from his youth.
Qui-Gon had taken him exploring as a young padawan through older, non-revitalized sectors of that city-planet, where the outcastes of society lived, fought, and preyed on others, yet others lived, loved and worked together.
“You need to see the good and bad of life,” he had said matter-of-factly, dragging his padawan into numerous shady dives and taverns, into places of utter squalor where the living was by tooth and nail. Criminality reigned, but so did generosity, often side by side. Obi-Wan had come to see that the true lesson was that good and bad co-existed, in all kinds of places, and not to associate those with power or those without, as more or less worthy of respect.
He had not grasped the lesson at first, not naturally attuned to the Living Force at his age as well as being more in touch with the Unifying Force. With few experiences outside the Temple to broaden his knowledge and understanding of others, he had been slow to understand what Qui-Gon sought to show him and have him learn for himself.
By not accepting others as who they were, but as he saw them through the lens of his own youth, unwitting pre-conceptions and insecurities, he had put a barrier against the natural flow of the Living Force that only life, maturity, and guidance had tempered. That lack of natural understanding and sympathy had slowly dissolved as he learned how to see, not just look, and learned to accept himself as well as others.
Pathetic life forms
: it had been his initial reaction to many, based on ignorance, later tempered by understanding. It was the unthinking epithet of a sheltered Jedi initiate first exposed to what seemed like society’s forgotten and discarded beings.
It had come to mean something different in later years, an acknowledgement that what seemed unremarkable or lacking might instead harbor beauty or usefulness within and so one should not judge on appearances or first impressions: a clumsy Gungan who provided the key to freeing the Naboo, a grubby street urchin who was now his padawan and well on the way to becoming a truly powerful Jedi.
Even he might have been considered such once, an angry and impulsive boy who battled his own insecurities while striving to be both be and seem worthwhile.
Qui-Gon had not taught him this, but allowed him to discover it on his own. It was a lesson that sank into his being more and more with each passing year.
And so he knew that good existed with the bad, kindness within evil, sympathy within the unsympathetic: he wondered what decency lay hidden within Ventress.
His gaze moved around the cell, observing without judging. There was a torch guttering in a wall stand opposite him, light flickering shadows into light, and light into shadows. It revealed nothing, too weak to reveal more than shifting patterns. He probed deeper, though the Force shied away from his less than delicate attempts to access it.
As he banished the last of the fog, Force-enhanced senses revealed far more, revealed the tortures of the damned, for damned had been those who had been here before. This was what he had begun to sense earlier before his senses had clouded with fever. He had sensed them, heard their screams in his mind.
He tried to relax deeper into the Force, but encountered a barrier. It almost seemed like the Force didn’t want to reveal anything to him, either shielding him from something or not wanting to touch something itself, through him.
Obi-Wan let the Force slip to the edge of his awareness, then as delicately as possible he reached a tiny bit at a time, coaxing the Force to show him more, just a bit more, piece by piece. He probed deeper,
seeing
splotches of bodily fluids, mainly blood, marking those who had preceded him, the stone stained from what had not evaporated. Sour smells filled his nostrils: residue of stale sweat and vomit, excrement and tears, all pungent products of bodies left to rot in their own fluids.
Gradually, a tiny sound itched at his ears. The silence, what little there was, was anything but silent, for to a Force sensitive who listened to it, it hung heavy with memories of suffering. The whispers swelled into a howling cyclone of dissipated pain, shrieks torn from those who had nothing else left. Screams of the dead lingered; had had nowhere to go, so in the air they had dissipated, another layer of pain.
It was all there: the sounds, the smells, the hopelessness, if one listened with one’s heart not ears; only by truly listening could one truly hear.
Clinging to the molecules of the air, stale and heavy, Obi-Wan could sense the despair and pain of the tormented. It was overwhelming; with the power to bring a Jedi to his knees weeping for the lost, but no Jedi could afford to open himself to the assault, for such would not help the departed or those that now faced a similar fate.
Shivering with the onslaught against his senses, Obi-Wan quickly shielded himself from all but a surface awareness of it. Instead, he focused on his reality and a way of escape - but every time he tried to touch something to manipulate it, he was repelled. The dead did not want him to escape; the chains of their despair bound him as much as Ventress’ chains.
A trickle of sweat slid down his spine as Obi-Wan realized just what he faced. Ventress was equally strong in the Force as he was at the moment; undistracted by pain, thirst and hunger as he was, she was able to interfere with his call on the Force even from a distance. His restraints were not just the bodily weakness of a man or the chains of his binders, but the restraints of the Force as well.
For the moment, there was but one thing to do. Wait. Wait for Anakin, wait for his strength to return, wait for the Force to reveal an answer.
Wait – and hope not to be the next tortured souls trapped within the walls for eternity.

He found he cared, beyond that required by his duty to protect.
I very much liked the beginning where Alpha explored his feelings and found it quite odd that he indeed cared for other people! Very nice! Perhaps the clones are not all the same, they rather show individuality!
“Are you sure you want to know, general?”
A chuckle greeted Alpha’s response. “Perhaps not. But it might prepare me for what will surely follow, and I would like to be clear on just what has happened so far. Knowledge is power; it might help us escape from here.”
Yeah, escape sounds good to me! Can't wait for the next chapter!

I hope so too, and also that Anakin gets his butt in gear to take credit for their rescue! That does not sound like a good situation to be in (to say the least!) but at least they still have a sense of humor!

Okay, an AMAZING update!
Pathetic life forms: it had been his initial reaction to many, based on ignorance, later tempered by understanding. It was the unthinking epithet of a sheltered Jedi initiate first exposed to what seemed like society’s forgotten and discarded beings.

And so he knew that good existed with the bad, kindness within evil, sympathy within the unsympathetic: he wondered what decency lay hidden within Ventress.
That particular section was my favorite because it really is true. And what a wonderful explanation behind Obi-Wan's behavior and character. Stunning!

Thanks, I needed that – I slipped into one of my “I can’t write a decent story” – – frame of mind recently. Of course, that is offset by the occasional moments where I am so humble and think “darn girl, you can write.”
That's because you can write, silly woman.
I'm always envious of your obvious skill at painting a scene and making me
feel
the emotions of the characters. I very much look forward to every chapter.
This chapter was no different. I loved the buildup of the way Obi-Wan was becoming more aware of the situation and yet they were still trapped in that hellhole of Ventress's. Loved the last sentence!
Wait – and hope not to be the next tortured souls trapped within the walls for eternity.
However, I wouldn't wait too long, Obi-Wan since Anakin isn't coming...
Great job!

This was a great chapter
I love the little bits of humor between Alpha and Obi Wan... last thing u can lose is that, even in the darkdest of situations
I also enjoyed ur descriptions of how Obi Wan was trying to access the Force to get answers... it is indeed a very sad place to be stuck in
Tnx so much for the pm, and i anxiously wait for the next one

I would be tempted to call Alpha Ventress' pet she is treating him so well, at least in comparison to Obi-Wan.
I hope that someone gets a clue soon. Too must Obi-torture is not a nice thing to contemplate.
This was however, very engrossing and well-written and I can't wait for more!

RE: What the Heart Hides. Obi-Ani, Siriwan. *Ch8 posted 032007* Life takes a turn for the worst
Stunning update as always!
Thanks, and I hope you feel the same when I get into Obi-Wan’s head, and a little bit of Alpha’s (strangely, I feel more comfortable writing Cody than Alpha).
You definitely did a good job with Alpha and Obi-Wan-- I can really feel their emotions while reading this. It's truly incredible
Really great to read this, for the descriptions of the more tortureous scenes are not in such detail-- more vague. That totally works for me. But from the description of the prison, I agree that they are in for tough times.
Thanks for the PM, and I can't wait for more!

Very interesting, the prison sequence. I never read the comics on the Clone Wars so I was kind of in the dark regarding the Battle of Jabiim. I never knew that in the canon stories Obi was captured by Ventress. Still though, it makes his character much more genuine and believable because he has been literally "through hell". Some of the most endearing facets of characters that become almost real are the fact that life has dealt them a really hard blow and they have survived and become stronger for it.
This chapter just makes him more human because he has actually been captured despite being the famous general and great jedi warrior. This is what happens in real life. Bad and often tragic things happen to good people, but there is always hope that they can survive and become stronger and better human beings because of it.
As for the Siriwan, I can't wait for that to post. I worship at the altar of Siriwan. If it can't be me, then better Siri.

Only if you call being chained, ignored, and occasionally given something passing as food mistreated.”
“That may seem a desirable condition later on.”
Nice banter! Oh so true.
I liked you diveregence following Obi's muings of how good and evil coinside. I envy writers that give you those side journeys. They are so insightful.
