Lightswords of Fury | 8 Mos Post TLC | L/M AU | TAGGED| Important Note - Please read

I still have not gotten my chapter 2 notes from Emilie. I'm getting worried......I don't want to delay chapter 2 any more than another week.......


I hope you guys will stick with me...........I am getting desperate.

 

I'll stick with ya

* steps in quick dry cement* oops...well now I'll stay indefinately not that I mind *trys to reach chips on table too far away* MAN

Up!

 

Good News - Emmi will try to get me her notes on chapter 2 - and even better news........ AngelQueen will be beta reading chapter 3 for me.....so while Emmi's on vacation, you might actually get a new chapter.


Oh, and UKnOwWhO, I didn't mean for you to step in that wet cement, that was to attract brand new readers.....glad to see that at least one or two old readers are *sticking* with me.

 

Just got the notes sent off.

Sorry, Mara. Maybe if you'd posted more often, I might have remembered it.


I mean, come on. You've left us in a cliffhanger forever! Poor Mara's all broken and bloody and I can't wait to see Callista get her butt kicked!!!!

Chapter 2 Reactions
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Leia Organa Solo was feeding her twins their
breakfast when she felt the reverberating thunder of a Force disturbance seeping into her awareness. She stumbled back a few feet, causing her to drop the spoon with the Jaina's oatmeal on it. The oatmeal splattered the walls as it hit the floor.


Jaina and Jacen started to cry in their highchairs. They were so attuned to the
Force that even they were being affected. Leia regained her composure and tried to
comfort the twins. Tears stained their tiny faces.


Leia sat down, frowning. What was that? she wondered.


Leia reached out briefly to touch the twin bond she shared with her brother. She could feel that he had been affected as well. She also felt another presence in his apartment. Mara Jade?


Whatever it was, Leia thought, I bet that Mara is involved somehow.


She took a deep breath and sent soothing thoughts to her children. Within a few
minutes, their cries faded into soft sobs, and sobs faded quickly into gentle hiccups.


Han Solo came into the kitchen. "Princess? Are you okay?" There was a frown on Han?s face.


Leia looked up at him. "Yes. Something happened?I just don?t know what."


?Is the kid okay??


Leia nodded. ?Luke?s fine.? She blew out a sigh. ?Come on, scoundrel. We?d better clean up this mess.?


Han looked from her to the wall and grinned. "Well, I see that Jaina and
Jacen have taken to throwing their food at the wall." He grinned. ?They handle their frustration just like you do, Princess.? He gave her a wink.



Leia tried to look stern as she began to clean oatmeal from Jacen?s face, but she failed. Leia allowed a smile to creep over her face as she unbuckled Jaina and Jacen from the highchairs. She handed Jacen to Han.

?Awww, come on, Princess, it wasn?t that bad of a joke!?


Leia said nothing, but handed the other twin to Han, along with a washcloth.


?Awww, man!?


=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=


Recovering from the disturbance, Luke scrambled out of his bedroom, his wet hair
momentarily forgotten. The disturbance had come from the sitting room and he was sure that it had come from Mara. His chest tightened as he realized she might have seen his work from the night before.



A piece of information that could destroy our friendship forever?


Luke bit back the thought, hoping desperately that she hadn?t seen the reader disk. Luke?s new alliance with Mara was too fragile and Mara was too closed emotionally?the last thing Luke wanted to do was make her uncomfortable. If she was uncomfortable, then Mara might shut herself off from him, and her friendship was extremely valuable to him, no matter what else he might feel towards her.


What else? She?s just a friend.



Luke came into the sitting room to see Mara sitting at his desk, anger flowing from
her like a raging river. Luke tried to calm her, using the Force, but she turned around
and charged at him.



She got very, very close to him, and suddenly stopped. Her face was inches from his, and he could see the fury raging in her green eyes just as well as he could sense it. She was trying to read him, trying to sense his emotions and feelings.



Luke was about to say something when Mara?s eyes narrowed. Her frown deepened, and she stepped away from him.



The next thing Luke felt was the hard, stinging contact of Mara?s hand with his face.



He barely noticed when she threw the reader disk at him and ran out the door, slamming it behind her.


=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=


Leia Organa Solo flinched in her seat on the floor, where she was playing with her children.



Luke? She could feel his pain. Someone had just hit him, hard. She shrugged it off, and calmed herself, for her children's sake. They weren't as in tune with their uncle as she was, but they could easily be affected.

Aunt Mara! Heehee!

 

that was great! i loved it. I am confused about one thing though. I didn't think the kids were old enough to talk?

inez

 

Age of talking varies, inez. And these are Force-sensitive kids.

 

I forgot to mention that I modeled little Jaina after my oldest niece - and it may have been the FORCE that helped Jaina to talk.

Plus, they could be ~10 months old......so.....you never know.


:Awaiting more replies while my lunch cooks:

 

"Aunt Mawwa siwwly!"

Awww! That was sweet, Liz!

Poor Luke! Mara's not happy! I hope he's able to explain things to her and they can still be friends!

Great job! Keep it up!

AQ

 

Well, I was going to up this, but AQ got there first! Thanks AQ!!!

 

Hmm.

Mara is not very happy.

 

I adore your sig, Obi-Zahn.

 

up to the top before you fall to page 4.......


AngelQueen Thanks!
Obi-Zahn Thanks

I'm aiming for chapter 3 to be posted next week and AngelQueen has graciously volunteered to beta it for me. I'll be working on it this weekend.

Now, excluding Emmi, anyone have any guesses regarding what'll happen next?

 

So fun, Jedi_Liz!

I can just picture Mara so angry that she just can't... spit... out.... words...and just whollops the poor guy!

But do I sense a little tenderizing of Mara's cold cold heart with the Aunt Mara business? Very cute! I wonder how long until she realizes it's fate, well, not that she reallizes it, but actually accepts it!

What's next.... hmmmm. Well, some more fury from Mara, that's for sure. I don't think it will be so easy for Luke to get in any kind of defense for himself any time soon!

Looking forward to Chapter 3!

aww, Jaina likes Mara! too bad Mara doesn't like Luke. she must have slapped him pretty hard to bruise. ouchies.

Good work, Jedi_Liz! I definately like this version better. Can't wait to see what you do with Chapter Three

 

Good job as always... I can't wait till my scenes get posted.

 

I can't guess? Awww, man!!

 

Emmi, you know too much.......I don't want the stormtroopers to take you away like they *took* Marawannabe away
Plus, we want readers to be in suspense, don't we?


Chapter 3 is coming along nicely......I think you will be pleasantly surprised at what I have in store.


I forgot to mention that Emmi did write a little bit of chapter 2 - she added some to my final draft that I had sent her.


Last post for the night......

 

UP UP UP and Away!


I need more replies to motivate me for chapter 3!

 

Uppity up!

They're coming to take me away, haha, they're coming to take me away!!!!


*hides*

 

Yay!
"ouch" in more ways than one for poor Lukie. I bet getting the Lightsaber back might hurt just a little more than that slap [face_wince]

Great chapter! Can't wait for the next one...

motivation hmmm? I'll think of something...

 

More than just a slap? Ouch. Come on, Mara, he's already missing one limb!!

 

I fell to page 6?

I bet I'll get more readers after chapter 3 is posted..........

 

*looks at time, does some quick math to change to PST*

This has probably fallen a few pages by now. I'll add to the post count for Chapter 3.
