Another post, finally. Sorry to keep you all waiting. This one is rather apt considering where Kit's Masquerade thread has got to.


Chapter 4
********

It had been something of an unpleasant shock for Barin to discover just which Initiate he was expected to question. Barin had hoped to stay out of the boy's way. It was the safest and least complicated course of action. He was there, however, and prepared to do what was needed. Just as he felt himself prepared to handle the situation, Thom looked up. Then the boy threw himself at him, howling.

Astinishment. Barin felt complete, uncomprehending astonishment; and that was a mistake, because it let in the memories. They rushed in, charging the shields with the advantage of surprise. Other arms held him close. Jealous. Possessive.

Mine!

He was trapped in the embrace, imprisoned, stifled, unable to get free. He gasped, but he could not move.

Mine!

He couldn't breathe. He couldn't think. Fog closed on his mind, spider-webs spun about his thoughts.

You will always be mine!

Let me go!

The darkness hovered at the edges of his mental vision. Faces loomed out at him, demanding, accusing.

"Where do you think you are off to?" Mace thundered.

"What in the name of the Force have you done?" Qui-Gon asked.

Xanatos' wide, dark eyes stared at him, full of shattered trust. "Why? Why did you leave me?"

Did you think you could escape me?

Yoda's stick tapped on the floor. His voice was low and full of menace. "If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny..."

You are mine! You can run, but you cannot hide. There is nowhere I cannot find you.

"Let me break your arm again." Healer An-Paj, voice twisted with scornful disbelief. "Then I'll know who broke it."

My Padawan.

No! You are dead!

Barin shuddered as scarlet waves of fury rose to swallow the black, crashing through his thoughts, flooding his mind, tearing down the cobwebs that held him fast.

Mine!

You are dead!

Mine!

The arms were still there, holding him. He couldn't run. He could only fight.

MINE!

Adrenaline, anger and the Force surged through him, priming his nerves, strengthening his muscles, quickening his reactions.

You are dead! How many times do I have to kill you?

An-Paj's voice, tense with anticipation. "Thom, come away..."

Yoda shook his head sadly. "The dark path," he said.

You cannot escape me, my Padawan. You cannot fight me. You are mine.

A new voice, a young voice. "Barin? Sir? Are you okay?"

You are mine!

No! I am my own.

Barin shivered, grasping for ice to cool the fire, reason moving at glacier speed through the furnace of his mind.

My own!

Scarlet darkened to crimson, like blood upon snow, snow falling through the mists, freezing the memories and the whisperings of the past.

"Worry not," he said, hearing his voice coming from a distance. There was another face, tear-streaked, peering at him in concern. Darker bruises marked the dark skin on the neck beneath. Barin traced them with his fingers, anchoring himself on their reality.

"Hey, your hands are cold," Thom said in sniffled complaint.

"Sorry," Barin replied automatically. He took another breath. "I told you to get this seen to."

"The bacta patch fell off." Thom hiccuped and gulped. "Okay," he added in resignation. "I'll get another one." He snuggled back into Barin's chest, heedless of the knight's lack of response.

Barin closed his eyes, centring himself in the eye of the storm, sweeping his emotions back into cold storage, returning his thoughts to their proper places, tidying up after the calamity. Order was restored, the chilly cloak of tense calm settled about him again. He reopened his eyes to meet An-Paj's concerned gaze. "It is alright now."

An-Paj regarded him seriously.

 

Yay! A new post!

Poor Barin, poor Xani, Poor Thom.

Kithera

 

Yay!!! A post!

I love how Barin is trying to be analytical about his reaction and sort everything out. And also An-Paj at his devious best!

Yes, Barin, listen to what the Healer ordered... he knows the right cure!

Wonderful post Hai Gan.

 

WooHoo! More! Yippee.

Poor everyone and yet, I think it is such a happy post after all. Lovely as usual HaiGan. Looking forward to more. (And if you happen to have had a thought or two for TaGD I have been pointing people there again.)

OMG, A POST! I was so happy I nearly cried.
Having read the snapshots, yeah, I can better picture Barin. Poor guy, his master coming back to haunt him. Hope you will finish this! Hope he can accept thom.....

 

It's alive!

 

Hooray! A post!

Welcome back Hai Gan! And Thom! And Barin!

Yes! Listen to An-Paj you will Barin. Wise man is he!

 

Yay - a post.

Only An-Paj would call Thom needing help a prescription. It will do Barin good, though he should never have a admitted that he never gets caught out the same way twice. He's just met a high spirited Corellian with an unlimitted imagination

 

*dances around the thread scattering bright confetti everywhere*

yayness! new post! I haven't read it yet, 'cause I have to get off the 'net soon.. by order of DP, but I've sent it to myself and will let you know what I think later!

*dances away from thread, beaming happily on all*

 

Wow! I just can't express in words how good this stroy is. It is just wow!

Keep it up!
