An watched the three of them leave, feeling a strong pull of the Force to go with them, to follow them. But as soon as she stood up, she had to sit back down because she would puke if she moved. She didn't the feeling of unease that washed over her, the dread that settled over her. She looked down at her stomach as she set a hand over the growing child and its strength in the Force. "Now is not the time for this. We need to be with your father." she said, tears brimming in her eyes. "Hate me for this later, but we need to go, and we will go now." she said, using the Force to connect with the growing life within her before she took a deep breath and stood. The feeling of nausea gone, for now. So she hurried, following the pull to Jax. She needed to be with him, needed to there when things went south.<br/><br/>*<br/><br/>Jek didn't like leaving An-Lok behind either, but he knew they didn't have the time to wait, knowing they needed every second they had to get that girl and they had already lost a few. He stayed close to the others, keep watch and looking around as he followed his loves lead. He knew that she had a far better grasp of where they were than he did. He instead did what he did best, he called upon the Force to hide their presence, to make the towns folk pay them no mind, they were just more fellow towns people. He kept doing so even when they had left the market area. "I don't like this." he said as they progressed. "Where did all the people go?" he asked as they kept going. There was less evidence of life the further they went. "How much further?" he asked, sure that they weren't even close yet.<br/><br/>*<br/><br/>An did nothing to hide herself with the Force, it was hard enough keeping the nausea away. She had to depend on her robe to hide her, the hood pulled up to hide her hair and face, to hide everything about her. She had still been following the pull towards Jax when she felt it, another direction provided to her. She paused, slowly turned in the direction and went. It was along the same path as the others, but different, shorter. It had to be the added Force surrounding her, and she would take advantage like a Sith should.<br/><br/><br/>***<br/><br/><br/>Jek stayed at as close to Aeris as he was physically able too while still keeping watch. She was right, this felt like they were walking right into a trap. His hand hovered, ready and waiting to summon his lightsaber to his hand as soon as it was needed. He was about to call it to his hand as they walked into a large open area when he felt her only seconds before he heard her.<br/><br/>"Took you three long enough." An said from where she had found to sit on a rock, waiting for them. Her robe was lying on the ground at her feet, and she looked utterly pleased with herself as she grinned at them. "Been here for several minutes." she added, about to get to her feet but she knew that she wouldn't even get the chance to stand because Jax would be right there in front of her. She let out a content sigh as she wrapped her arms firmly around his neck and pressed her face into his hair. Closing her eyes as she felt a more calm ease settle on her, not from Jek but from being with the father of her baby.<br/><br/>"She could have shared the short cut." Jek muttered as he watched the other couple, looking at Aeris. "We still need to find the girl." he said softly, his hand on his best and the hilt of his blade, ready and waiting. "I can't feel anything. This place, it feels dead." he said, not aware he was the only one who felt that way. He was targeted, for waiting for a battle, he was the target.<br/><br/>"Dead... This place is teeming with dark energy." An-Lok said, standing up and taking a few steps away from Jax. "I've been... Been basking in it." she said, not sure how the others were going to take it. She still wasn't a Jedi like she had once been, she still held the title of Sith Lord, same as Aeris.<br/><br/>"I don't..." Jek shook his head, blinking a few times as he wobbled where he stood. He took staggering steps away from Aeris, towards the center of the large opening they stood in, raising a hand to touch his head as he tried to focus. Tried to think. "Where..." He was supposed to be doing something, he was here with someone... He had a job, a task... What was he meant to be doing? Why was it dark? Why was it cold? Jek went limp as his eyes closed and he fell forwards, body turning just enough he didn't fall face first to the ground.<br/><br/>An-Lok had closed her eyes and felt the Force all around them before opening them in time to watch the man she thought of as a brother fall. That made her blink, and come back to herself, to how she had been planning to turn her life from her dark path. For the baby, for Jax. She turned back to him "She's here. Somewhere. This place, its an illusion. A dark side trick. It needs to be broken." she said out loud, remember some of the temples of Korriban, the ones hidden deep beneath the Earth. Ones few had seen and been inside of.
