ENDED "The Sacred Silence" a NJO, SBS, Han/Leia, Anakin/Tahiri, Jania/Kyp AU; Han can use the Force

*to teary eyed to type*

 

thanks everyone, mores comming tonight.

 

yah i can't wait.

 

I really apologize for the lateness of the post, I got so busy today, that I'm just running out of time. I'll post again soon, probably friday night, since tomarrow is hallowean. Now this is a somewhat scairy post, cause Hallowean is comming.

padme96: (hand padme tissues for eyes and wet keyboard) That better?

Jaina Solo Durron: Thanks, I tottaly agree, poor Anakin and Tahiri. Yea, Bressal is a idiot, but Ganner doesn't think so.

AnotherAgentSmith: Thanks. I must admit, I almost made myself cry writing it. But then again, I cry easily, I almost cry every time Han gets frozen in carbonite. I tottaly agree, I was so mad when they killed Anakin, I still am in fact, it served very little purpose in the series, not enough reason to kill such a cool character. By the way, I got your story in my e-mail, I'll start reading it this weekend. As for having something up my sleeve about Anakin. I sure do! But it will have to stay up my sleeve for awhile.

Shadow: I agree, I felt sorry for them to. Thanks.

HanSolo: Thanks! Glad it was worth it.

Trickster Jaina Fel: Thanks, for some reason I just had to write that post last night, I'd planned something else, but this one just came and bit me in the butt. It struck me of how horrorable it would be to not even be able to cry, and how it must torture tahiri to see Han and Leia, when Anakin is gone. Glad it worked.

Luke and Mara woke up long before Ben did, who was still lying between them, fast asleep.

"Mara, what happend to Ben last night.?" Luke asked softly.

Mara shook her head slowly, a disturbed expression comming over her face.

"I, I really don't know. I felt something, like I had been passed over by a search, but I wasen't the one being searched for. I remember feeling very relieved. But then I heard Ben crying. I woke up and went to him,and he was awake, very frightend, and I didn't understand why. At first."

Luke leaned closer. "Whats wrong? Theres more to it then that, I can tell."

Mara hesitated, as if she didn't want to relive it, or to remember. Then she took a deep breath, and spoke. "Ben said something about a eye, a big dark eye that was watching him, he was afraid it would get him...."

She turned her serious green eyes on Luke. "He said it was afraid of you."

Luke stared at her for a moment and then mumbled,"Oh Force......"

Mara looked emeaditly worried, and grabbed Lukes shoulder, gripping it firmly. "What? What is it?!"

"I had that same feeling, of a eye passing over me, but I didn't want to believe it."he shook his head."How could I be so foolish? I should know by now not to ignor my instincts. But what could it be?"

Mara started to answer, but was cut off when Ben let out a sudden shriek.

"Noooo! Go way!" Ben screamed frantically, his little baby arms striking out frantically at the air.

Luke and Mara felt a growing sense of horror, felt a manevolent presence, a watching presence, but not directed a them, but a Ben.

Mara unfroze first, and grabbed Ben's frantically lashing arms and held them still. "Ben! Ben! Sweetheart,wake up!"

But Ben was now frantically shaking, tears running down his cheeks out of closed eyes, he was still shrieking. "Leave me! Bad!"

Luke had ahold on him to calling Ben's name.

Then, Ben went silent, whispering...."Eye? Eye?"

He was going limp.

And Luke felt the presence. It was gloating.

"No!" said Luke, suddenly knowing he had to do something, and do it fast, or it would be to late.

He picked up Ben, and held him to his chest and pressed his forehead against Ben's, reaching with the force, feeling the presence that had ahold on Ben, that was pulling on him. He did something he normally never would have dared to do with many people, let alone someone Ben's age.

He followed the threads of Ben's mind, and wrenched them away from the presence that had him, and grabbed at the presence with his own force presence and held it.

He turned his own inner force sight on it and searched, pushing. You

 

[face_shocked] That was evil, very, very evil! But nicely written

More!

 

eek! that was scary! great post though Princess...will we get more posty soon?

-JSD

 

That's another great chapter you wrote Princess1.

Very good. I like how the previous chapter had a definate sad and helpless emotion to it and this one is very dark filled with angst and the feeling of persecution. You have different emotions in each without jerking the readers back and forth, the transition is well done and they flow together nicely.

This chapter was soo frightening though! You arrived to capture that feeling of dread and of people feeling watched, even hunted, very nicely I think.
(Which I also think is a very nice continuation and practical effect of how the Jedi are being persecuted and hunted in the NJO.)
Especially with that Vong bioweapon, how Luke, Mara and poor little Ben are haunted by it. I wonder how it actually affects them as such? I thought it was great how Luke actually 'struck down' Nyal Ye by creating something like a feedback or returning the power through the Force.


It is sad they killed of Anakin, when I read 'Conquest' I really thought he had so much potential and was going to become one of the main characters in the NJO, if not 'the' main character. But hey, LFL does strange things I guess ...

"As for having something up my sleeve about Anakin. I sure do!"
Looking forward to that!

Cool you go the E-mail, I hope you enjoy the story!

 

ooh...great post!
UP!

Does this eye happen to be searching for a ring? Or maybe the keys to the Evilmobile? Did any of you hear Hollywood video's 60 Second Theatre for LOTR? It was HILARIOUS! I personally think they should put out a CD with all of their commercials on it. Click the link to hear the ad.

Dana

 

i thought that 'the eye' sounded familar. It also reminds me of LOTR. A really awsome trilogy.

Jez

 

thanks everyone, more tomarrow.

 

i was practilly sitting on the end of my seat there cause that was a great post *even if it was spooky*

nore K/J or ben soon please

 

I'm sorry, I can't post tonight, the IMAX EPII is opening tonight and well (sheepish look) You can't expect me to miss that!

 

no we can't

 

Thanks for being so patient everyone, I had planned to post last night, but AOTC was on IMAX, it was opening night. Lets just say I couldn't resist. 8 story tall Anakin!


Shadow: Thank you, I guess I'll just take evil as a compltement.

Jaina Solo Durron: Thanks, yea, I couldn't resist and scairy post on the night before hallowean.

AnotherAgentSmith: Thanks. Yea, its weird, but all of my worst nightmares have always been of something watching me, and so I tried to capture that feeling in that scene. I guess it worked. Glad you liked the force, fed back thing, what Luke did is turn its own power back on itself. Served Nyal Ye right.
Anakin was such a cool character, I never would have expected them to kill him of all the Solo kids. Before Traitor, I would have expected Jacen to be the one they killed maybe, but not Anakin. But they did. Glad your looking forward to the suprise about Anakin, it should be intersting.

Dantana: Lol, no it wasen't looking for a ring. But maybe its a cousin to the eye in LOTR and maybe the Vong are related to the Orks. Well, you never know!

Jez: Yea, LOTR is great, but the resembalance wasen't actualy intentional, it just happend.

Padme96: Thanks, lol, don't worry, its not spooky anymore, don't fall of your seat. Glad you enjoyed it.

Kyp and Jaina trudged on through the woods in a uncomfortable silence.

Their carefree happy mood of the morning had been effectivly quenched by finding the lightsaber.

All of their worries, the reality of their quest, the danger, had all come flooding back.

Jaina turned the lightsaber over and over in her hand as she walked, feeling the cool metal under her fingers. What had happend to Alema?

How had the vong captured her? Why? Was it some other reason then simply the fact she was a jedi?

She felt the rough edge of where the lightsaber had been cut in half, and looked down at it. It was like the metal had been eaten away.


She shuddered. What had they done to Alema? Had the end been quick? They hadn't tortured her had they? But then Jaina bit her lip. A quick death? A painless death? Not likely when it involved the vong. Who knows what Alema had gone through. Her, and all of the other jedi that had been captured.

Jaina felt a sudden, over whelming feeling of hopelessness. What did she think she was doing anyway? She didn't have anything to go on but the lightsaber, and just headed it the same general direction, hoping by some absturd chance, or whatever of her fathers luck she had managed to inherit, that she would just walk right into whatever the vong were up to, and fix everything, just like that.

What a stupid illusion. The Solo luck seemed to have rubbed off, because it hadn't helped them much lately, not her either of her brothers, not her father,not her mother, not Chewebacca....Not anybody!

She threw the lightsaber to the ground and kicked it, giving a bitter laugh and shouting, "I don't need you! I don't need any clues or any help! All I need is my luck, my damn luck! Because everything always comes out alright. Always!"

Then her laughter started to turn into a sob. But she was still laughing, a odd laugh choking on sobs.

*****

Kyp had been walking along just in front of Jaina, sending glances back at her accassionally, feeling like he wanted to say something, almost starting to, then lapsing into silence. Her expression was moody and brooding, and he didn't know what to make of it.

He would think she would anticipating, thinking, analizing what the lightsaber meant exactly, planning for what she would do to the Vong.

That sounded more like Jaina. But not this odd, strained silence.

Then he looked back at Jaina again, to find she had stopped dead, staring at the lightsaber in her hand, and then abrubtly started laughing.

He stared at her blankly. What in the force was she doing?

He watched as she threw the lightsaber to the ground, as if in the punch line to some internal war, and started shouting.

She spoke bitterly, with more bi

 

what a sweet post *sigh*

 

That seems so very much like Jaina. Getting frustrated that she's had such bad luck recently.

7-UPped

 

Awwwww they are holding hands.

Jez

 

poor jaina...wonderful post, Princess, more soon please?

-JSD

 

Princess1, that was a great post.

I like the characterization of Jaina, how her frustrations and feelings of helplessness do overcome her at a moment, it adds realism to her character. Makes her more 'real' and not some more shallow, rock solid character that goes on no matter what, but a Jedi that does have emotions. That does need help. Also liked how Kyp seeks to help and support her, from the feelings he has for her and not in some macho way.
Very nice!

"Yea, its weird, but all of my worst nightmares have always been of something watching me, and so I tried to capture that feeling in that scene."
Poor you, that doesn't sound too agreable. But you did manage to capture that feeling in those scenes I'd say!

Looking forward to the rest.

 

hehehe, typical Jaina to go and built it all up! Good thing Kyp was round! Good post!

 

can you post soon please.

 

Sorry this post is so short everyone, I don't have a whole lot of time tonight, I'll do a longer one tomarrow or wednesday.

Padme96: Thanks.

Crimson Sabre: Yea, it does sound like Jaina, she seems to do things like that.

Jez: Awwww...... Yes they are.

Jaina Solo Durron: Thanks. Yep, mores comming!

AnotherAgentSmith: Thanks. Yea, I think one of the biggest mistakes a writer can make in a story is to forget the characters are supposed to be people as well, not just "characters". They need to react to situations like a real person might, or they won't seem real. Thats a mistake I try not to make. Glad it worked. Lol, yea I'd say calling that kind of dream unpleasant would be a understatement. But I don't have them very often, I just remember them when I do. Hey, it helped me write that post after all.

Shadow: Yea, Jaina does seem to do that doesn't she? I think she got it from her mother.

HanSolo: Thanks!

Ganner sighed flusteration, glaring irritably at Bressal's back.

She didn't appear to notice. He sighed again and flexed his wrist and against the bonds. Nothing happend, just the same as all the other times.

Nothing new there.

It had been over day,since she'd put him in binders, and at first he'd thought she would get over it and let him go.

No such luck.

He'd sat around, and finnally convinced her to let him go to the refresher.

She finnaly let him, sighing and rolling her eyes with reluctantance.

She'd undone his binders right at the door, and when he'd come out, she was still there, waiting impatiently.

Then he got the feeling she meant to keep him in the binders for awhile.

His feeling was right, he was still in the binders.

And he could feel the stubble growing on his chin.

He hated that.

"Hey Bressal!" he said in a mocking tone.

"What?" she sounded slightly testy. Probably because he had already asked the same question several times already.

"Is there any chance you might let me out of these things long enough shave?"

"No."


"I won't murder you with the razor, I promise!"

She turned and glared at him. "You promise? Excuse me if I don't believe you."

"I swear on my honor as a jedi!"

"Then I definitly don't believe you."

He was about to ask again, but caught something in her tone. Why did she sound so disgusted at the even the mention of jedi?

"Have you got something jedi or what?"

"You could say that."

Her tone made it clear she considered the conversation closed.

He shook his head and wished he could scratch the stubble itching on his jaw.

He really wanted a shave.

And to get these stupid binders off.
