An-Lok let out a very soft sigh as they were walking, following after this unknown Sith. Most liked to brag about their names, but not once had he said his, not even a hint at what it could possible be. And it was annoying, to some degree.<span style="font-style: italic">'While true that this was all for them, I don't think they realized, any of us aside from you, just how bad this could possibly get.'</span>She replied as they pushed on into a darker still tunnels that had barely any hint of light and if it hadn't been the use of the Force and the welcoming feeling of the Dark Side, she isn't so sure that she would have been able to continue on without stumbling over every little rock and grove of the ground before them. Her attention then became focused on the man they were following as it lightened up to see better. Her focus became intent on him as they walked, that she moved easily around Aeris and on down the left tunnels.<br/><br/>Over half way down, An-Lok realized that Aeris was no longer with them, and a feeling of dread and foreboding settled deep into her as she paused for just a moment to turn her head to look to see if maybe she had just fallen behind. But whereas before, like her friend, she had been able to feel the boys, their men, and each other, she could also no longer feel hints of them. The Bond felt, stifled, like it was suffocating without any hope of getting air. She whipped back around to demand to know what happened to her fellow Sith, only to realize that the one she had been following, was no longer there. An swore loudly, but it didn't echo around her. It fell only around her into the fog, that she swore was laughing at her, pleased with her plight. Grumbling, she set a hand on her lightsaber and kept from touching the lower part of her stomach as she continued on the path she had been led in.<br/><br/>But it didn't go near as far as she thought that it should and she felt like if she had only ran down it, she might have seen which way the Sith had gone, but she couldn't change the past and now she had another fork in the tunnels staring at her. One got brighter and appeared to go up, the other appeared to just keep going onwards. She felt tired and hungry, she just wanted Jax to come and wrap his arms around her before offering her food. She bit her lip, took a deep breath and decided to close her eyes to allow the Force to guide her down one of the two paths, but she couldn't feel it doing what she wanted, which annoyed her to no end. She growled, quite literally and decided that if this planet wanted her to be in the darkness so much, than so be it, she would keep being in the blasted dark. She took one step towards the darker path, hesitated and was about to turn right when she heard what sounded like a large beasts roar. Stunned, confused and not sure where it could be coming from, she rushed down the darker path, figuring that if she couldn't see all that well, that hopefully it couldn't either. But she couldn't even be sure what large beast it was that had roared, just that something was down their with them.<br/><br/>Twists, turns, darkness so black that she didn't know where she ended and it began. She had to feel her way literally on hand and knee through there before she finally felt like she might have gone the right way when she a light at the end. She took a few jogging steps forwards and stopped dead in her tracks. Coruscant. How had she gotten back to Coruscant and into the Jedi Temple. As she took a few steps further in, she realized that it wasn't just the Jedi temple that she had been taken too, but she was in the Council's chamber and Jax was there, looking oh so guilty as he avoided eye contact with her entirely. Rage bubbled up inside of her, hurt and the pain of betrayal as she glared at him.<br/><br/>"I can't believe you could do this to me... To our... Future." she had started to say child, but you could never tell when the council might be listening and they could strip her of her life and any knowledge of the Force, right down to the thinnest of threads, but they would not find out about the life inside of her. "We had plans, you made promises to me... What did you use, what made me sleep for so long I would wake up here." she was yelling at him by this point, unable to contain her anger as she marched with purpose towards him. He still refused to look at her, refused to talk. She couldn't see the tear streaks on his own cheeks because the world was just a blur to her she was crying so hard. "How could you..." she trailed off and turned to march away from him, turned to get out of there before the Council actually decided to show. She knew better than to try the door and was summoning up a large Force Blast when she felt Jax arms wrap tightly around her and pull her away, fighting her to the center of the room before he had her down on her knees and bound in chains that severed her connection to the Force. She looked up at him then, with hatred and they locked eyes, he opened his mouth to speak and then stopped as the door nearly burst open and in they strode, taking his attention away from her.<br/><br/>The Council always did have perfectly horrible timing. She looked down to the floor and she said nothing, as they sat and grilled her with questions, demanded answers she wouldn't give. They wanted to know why she and so many other promising young Jedi had gone off to join Revan, why they had never returned to face their judgement. She stayed silent and didn't make eye contact with any of them. Their minds were made up before they ever entered the room, she knew that, all she had to do was wait for them to tell her if she had been right. She would receive one of their worst fates. Stripped of her connection to the Force, stripped of her connection to Jax. They passed their judgement as she thought that they would, but then, she finally heard his voice.<br/><br/>"And what of the-"<br/><br/>"NOOO!!!!!!" An-Lok screamed in a blind rage as the Force shot out from around her, she used it to break her bindings that didn't exist and to summon a lightsaber that was hers. When had it ended up on the stone floor at the other side. Where had... It had all felt and looked so real. She closed her eyes tight and pinched the bridge of her nose between her eyes as she let out a heavy sigh. Blasted fog had pulled her in yet again, like it had Korriban. Looking around, she saw a tunnel with light on her left, so she took it, following its winding path, hoping it was the way forwards and she would find Aeris again. She didn't know the effects of the dark side had creeped in around the edges of her eyes once more.<br/><br/><br/>****<br/><br/><br/>Jek groaned, he felt like he had been hit by a speeder going too fast for the zone. He rolled onto his eyes and clutched his head as he very slowly got to his feet. "Aeris?" he called out, his mouth dry and his lips felt cracked. "An? ... Jax?" he broke out into a coughing fit from calling their names, stumbling a few steps, he remembered the emergency hydration pellet in one of his pouches so he dug it out as she stumbled a few steps and fell to a knee. Popping it into his mouth to swallow, it took him a moment to realized he could no longer feel Aeris, or An-Lok, but that Jax was lying on the ground before him. "Jax." he said, getting back to his feet to hurry over and kneel next to him. "Jax! Come on, wake-up... The girls are missing." he said, sliding an arm beneath his head to get him into a sitting position so that he could try to find a way to make him. He was rummaging through one of his pouches when he felt the other name move. "Jax? Can you hear me?" he asked, waiting as he scanned his face.
