An-Lok strode with purpose up to the house with intent to walk in and end their happiness, she wanted to end the smiles because they didn’t know or understand the pain they had caused. She had lost everything that meant anything to her because of them. She was ready to kill them, but some physical thing was stopping her. She was right there; she was right at the door, but something was pushing against her. She gritted her teeth and kept pushing, kept trying to take the steps when she finally heard Aeris’ voice, finally heard her say that Jax was there, that he was close. A rush of breath filled her lungs and a light surge of the force surrounded her from her stomach and freed her. She blinked several times and focused on her friend, and then on the tomb behind her. It had been a trap all along, they weren’t meant to leave. Whatever Sith they were dealing with, had not intended them to leave. She dropped her lightsaber and sunk to her knees, feeling far more tired and exhausted than she had before.<br/><br/>“I’m sorry… I… I couldn’t fight it. I’m sorry.” She said, looking up at Aeris and the long dead Sith Lord she had unknowingly been reviving as she basked in the darkness. She closed her eyes, trying to use what she could of her strength in the Force to try and connect back to Jax. But all she did was strengthen what was there between her and Aeris, so she stopped trying and instead, set her lightsaber on her belt as she tried not to fall asleep. She could feel her connection to the Force wanning, and it worried her about the baby, so she struggled back up to her feet and turned to start walking back the way they came, grasping tight to her friend’s arm. She wasn’t about to leave her behind, she wasn’t going to let either of them meet their end here if she could help it.<br/><br/>**<br/><br/>Jek kept leading the way before he turned to him and stopped, waiting as Jax just kept firing off questions without waiting for him to really responded. He had to wait for him to stop before he smirked and shook his head “They’re together now, but we need to hurry. We could lose them both.” He said, giving him a look. “This place is indeed playing tricks on us.” He said, taking a moment to summon some more rocks with the Force to make another arrow back the way they had come before he was leading him back down the tunnel at a jog. He led the way that Aeris had told him to go, he wasn’t about to let her leave him. He swore to her that they were going to have a life, that they would get to have children and he was going to keep that promise. He trusted fully in the Force that they were going to have it.<br/><br/>Jek stopped as they got to a tunnel full of fog, like a doorway. “Oh… That is thick indeed.” He said, holding his lightsaber aloft as he looked at it. “Aeris said she believes this is draining them of the Force, we need to save An-Lok and the baby.” He said, knowing they were the priority. He took a deep breath and set himself in the light side of the Force before he made to march forwards. He was reassured by his past and only vision provided to him by the Force that he got to live life with Aeris. They were suddenly right there, the girls.<br/><br/>An felt the quick movements and sudden stop before pushing at her to be put down and she took a few steps, she staggered, clutching tight to Aeris’ arm and her lower stomach. She moved by will alone to protect her child, she had caused this. She was at fault, and she was going to fix it. She was going to get out of here, and she was going to make sure this baby was born. She would see the next generation of Jedi born; she would make sure of it. A great sense of relief washed over her when she was suddenly overwhelmed by two connections in the Force coming back to her and she clung tight to one in particular. It gave her strength. “Jax!” she called, staggering into what she assumed was his arms. Yet to realize they were no longer surrounded by Force Fog.<br/><br/>Jek felt his connection with An-Lok return in an instant and he caught his arms as she staggered forwards and then quickly gave her to Jax before he was reaching out to grab hold of his love, Aeris, wrapping his fee arm around her and pull her to him and give her a soft kiss as focused only on her. He gave her some of his own Force energy, placing a soft kiss on her forehead as he held his lightsaber between them and the thick Force Fog. He was going to do what he could to get them free, even if that meant fighting for it. Through his connection to his love, he could see the nearly formed figure and her desire to defeat it. “Jax, take An and return to the ship. She needs to get out of here for the baby’s sake.” He said over his shoulder, feeling okay in saying that she was carrying now that he knew that what they faced, was not the Sith they were chasing, but a trap. They had walked right into a trap meant to drain them of the Force and possibly kill them. But he felt as strong as ever with Aeris at his side, he felt calm and assured in a way he hadn’t in years.<br/><br/>“Jax…” An-Lok breath, her eyes fluttering as she looked up as best as she could up at her boyfriend. At her mate. “Baby… Son… Needs to be safe.” She said, trying to keep leaving. She was remember the Force vision of a home shrouded in darkness and death. She had seen a boy, so that was what she remembered, but she actually wasn’t sure.<br/><br/>****<br/><br/>Jek was carrying Aeris back through the tunnels after their encounter, walking steadily after the encounter with the spirit. Her connection to the Dark Side seemed to have fueled what they fought, but he so easily drew on the light side they won in the end. They’d had to fight of course; it had been the only way. But now all he wanted to do was get out of there, all he wanted to do was get back to their ship and leave. He walked slowly with his love, stopping to use his learnt ability to track to make the way back the way they came until they got back up to the clearing. Jax and An-Lok had gone long ahead of them, and could only hope they were okay, that no harm came to the baby. He just kept going until they got back to the paths that had been a once bustling city on their way in, they quickly found it wasn’t anything more than a labyrinth of rock and long dead hints of what they'd seen. “Well, that was a powerful illusion.” He commented, still walking with her in his arms. Jek was not going to put Aeris down until they got back to the ship.<br/><br/>*<br/><br/>An slipped in and out of sleep until they returned to the ship, then she was unable to keep her eyes open and fell into a deep sleep to recover. Her connection to Jax waned, but it was still there and the force around the baby remained strong. She needed to recover from her connection to the force nearly being severed.
