Chapter Four
It was the sound of beeping that woke her up.
She slowly opened her eyes to see the window of her craft cracked, groaning as she felt her head pounding. She looked around and let out a gasp when she noticed she had crashed while trying to follow Ben.
"Ben" she whispered to herself.
Opening up the X-wing, she unstrap the seat belt and jumped out of the craft. She shivered as the cool air of the night rushed through her. Rubbing her bare arms while looking around she turned around to her craft. She looked at the gps screen and cursed under her breath as the screen was blank and shattered. It was broken. She couldn't contact anyone or even find out where she had crashed.
She grabbed her lightsaber from her belt and ignited it. It was getting darker as every minute passed. The two moons up in the dark sky gave her little light. The yellow lightsaber came to life letting her see her surroundings. She walked through the forest. The thin leafless branches looked like it was trying to reach for her. She looked down and saw snow beneath her.
'No wonder it's so cold.' she thought to herself. She froze when a harsh wind flew at her.
She took a deep breath when she saw her breath in the air. She knew she had to find shelter quickly if not she would freeze to death. She walked away from the craft slowly looking around. She knew she had to be alert, she didn't know where she was or what's ahead. She ignored the pain as the cold air has started to get to her. She brought her hand to her forehand trying to ease some of the pain. Her eyes widen at the sight of blood on her hand.
She took another deep breath and stood her ground. She made the decision to walk further.
She walked with her lightsaber in one hand. The weapon hummed in her hand.
She gasped when she saw something run ahead from her. The dark figure hid behind the large trees. Shivering, she raised her lightsaber towards the tree.
"Who's there?" She yelled out.
"Ben." She quietly called out when she didn't hear a response.
Still no response she continued to walk. Unaware of the man behind her. He stared at her for a moment before following her again. He frowned at her the state she was in. He could see the blood stains on her brown Jedi clothes. Her bare arms were red from the cold weather. Her face was almost turning the same color as her hair. He felt that she was sad. Alone. The only light near her was her yellow saber.
"Come out." She yelled. He took a step back when she spoke. She couldn't shake the feeling that someone was following her.
"I feel your presence." Lilian said looking behind her shoulder then ahead.
'She is strong with the force.' The man smiled to himself. He walked out from behind the trees and saw she immediately raised her saber at him at the sight of him.
Lilian frowned as a blonde man came out of the dark and stared at her. He was handsome, skin was pale like the snow that had just fallen. His blonde hair stopped by his shoulders. His blue eyes stared harshly at her. He wore black robes along with a dark cloak.
"Hello, child." The man's voice was smooth.
"Who are you?" She asked as he walked towards her.
"Who are you?" He asked, raising a brow as he stood in front of the tip of her saber. She pressed her lips in a thin lip. He wasn't afraid. He stood in front of her weapon like it was nothing.
"Well?" He asked.
"Lilian." The man nodded at her as he looked up and down at her.
Lilian walked backwards from him, giving him some distance. He was glad to see she was following his moves as he walked around. She was being alert. Guarded.
'Smart.' He told himself as Lilian stared at him. He could see she was about to collapse. The cold had finally gotten to her and he knew the crash had hurt her arm. Her arm shook as she held the saber with one hand.
"Are you lost, child? Trying to find someone?" He said and grinned as Lilian's eyes widened.
He knew why she was here. He just wanted to see what would be her response.
"I'm searching for a person. His name is Ben." Lilian said as she turned off her saber. The man looked at her and he could see her chin trembling. Tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Where am I?" Lilian asked.
"On Hoth. Just the outer rim, though." He said looking around then ahead. He could see the snow was about to fall again.
"If you went further, you would have died. There's nothing out there. The trees die out here." Lilian followed his graze behind her. She didn't notice that the trees stopped at the spot they were at. Ahead was completely dark, she could see the snow was starting to fall ahead.
"Have you seen someone come through here? I'm looking for my friend." She looked at him.
"It's important. He's hurt. I have to find him."
'Weak.' He mumbled to himself and raised his hand out towards her.
"Sleep." He said loudly and Lilian came crashing down to the ground.
He looked down at her weapon and used the force to bring her saber to him. He looked at the silver and gold weapon. He clipped it on his belt next to his. He walked towards Lilian, crouching down to her staring at her for a moment.
"You look just like her." He said running a finger down her cheek. He picked Lilian up in his arms and walked in the dark.
Making his way inside his craft hidden behind the mountains. He allows the medical droids to mends her wounds. He watches behind the window as the droids worked on her.
"Sir, do we change her?" A droid asked making its way to the man.
"Yes, burn those filthy Jedi clothes." The man said not taking his eyes from her. The man walked away when the droids started to cut her clothes.
-&-
He stood in front of her and raised a hand towards her.
"Wake up." He said walking away to a leather chair far cross the bed.
Lilian opened her eyes and quickly sat. She found herself in a bed. She looked around and saw she was inside of a room.
"I see you are awake, child." Lilian looked ahead and saw the man sitting near a fireplace. She looked down at herself and saw she was wearing a black nightgown. She immediately covered her self with her arms.
"Did you.."
"No. The droids did." He said as he crossed his legs over and leaned back on the leather chair.
"Who are you?"
Lilian asked as she got out of the bed and walked towards him. The man pointed at the chair near him.
Lilian frowned at him.
"I'll tell you who I am but sit down. You fainted when we met. I don't want you fainting again."
Lilian looked at him, she doesn't remember fainting. She just remembered the man raising his head and then blank.
She sat down with a sigh. He smiled.
"I'm Mercury, child. I'm here to be your master."
"Master?"
"Yes, you will be my apprentice." Lilian's eyes widened at him.
"I already have one. Master Skywalker. I am his Padawan." She told him.
"Where is he, then? Mmm...he hasn't come to find you. You've been asleep for days, child. No one has come looking for you." He said looking at her wondering if she knew he was lying about the days. Lilian looked at him in shocked.
'It couldn't be.' she thought to herself. She felt something off with him. Something she felt before.
He was a sith.
"I'm offering you a chance, child. A chance to be stronger. To be wiser. To have everything you want." Lilian stood you quickly making him glare at her.
"Never. I sense the dark in you." Lilian said looking around for a way out.
"Hey!" The man yelled causing her to jump as he stood up. She looked up as he walked towards her. She was frozen in place. The man looked down at her and bit his bottom lip.
"Lillian, I know why you crashed. Trying to find your boyfriend, Ben Solo." He said as he tucked her hair behind her ear.
"I read your mind while you were passed out." He says to her. Lilian finches when he brings his hand to her cheek. His fingers were icy cold.
"I saw everything. I know who you are, child. The granddaughter of the Jedi knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You are so strong. You just need a teacher."
"I have one already." She told him.
"Luke is weak. He tried to kill his nephew. That's what Ben showed you before he left you."
"Left you. Left you like trash." Lilian looked away at his words.
"Used you." He said as he brought his hand down to her neck. He smiled to himself as he saw her flushed reaction.
"Get your hand off of me." He grins at her as she snaps at him.
He kept remembering what he saw in her mind. He saw Lilian with Ben. She was riding him, he can hear Ben moaning as Lilian rode his cock slowly. He sees her bringing Ben's hand to her neck and tells him to choke her.
"You like it though." He said and Lilian's slaps his hand away. He walks away just a couple of feet.
"What else did you see?" She asked.
"Everything. Your life. Your childhood. The temple burning to the ground. I also saw your future. You were destined for great things. You just need the right teacher. All you have to do is join me. Come to the dark side and I will show how to fully possess the force."
"Never." Lilian spitted out to him causing him to sigh.
"What do you have left?" He asked her as he shrugged his shoulders.
"You have no family. Your parents are dead. You're alone."
"I'm not." Lilian answered him.
"Yes, you are because the moment Leia and Han find out that their son is missing they will accuse you. I mean, come on..."He said pointing a finger at her.
Lilian frowned at his words. Leia asked Lilian to watch over him before she left with Ben with Luke.
"You were supposed to look out for him. They will hate you, child. They would want nothing to do with you. I mean, think about it. It wasn't hard for Ben to leave you. He left you behind in the mess he made. He left you behind with all those dead bodies." He said as tears rose from her eyes. Lilian stared at the ground as Mercury spoke.
"Ben doesn't love you." He said walking towards her and lifting her chin to look at him.
"If he did, why would he leave you?" He questioned looking deep into her eyes.
"Let me show you the way. The darkness isn't such a bad thing, child." He told her as he caressed her wet cheek with his thumb.
"He left." She stated, making him nod.
"He did. Left you aside like you were nothing. I saw it here." He said tapping her forehead.
"I saw how you got on your knees and begged for him to stay." He whispered as he wiped her tears off her face.
"Leave me alone, Lilian. He said to you." Mercury repeated the words Ben told her. He took her hand and led her back to the seat.
"Let me teach you, child. Let me show the dark side. Never have to be alone. Never have to be afraid. You will be strong. You will be wise. You will learn how to survive."
Mercury gently pushed Lilian down to the chair and kneel in front of her. He placed his hand on her knees and looked at her.
"I know you felt the dark in you one time." Lilian shook her head and looked away.
"Don't lie to yourself. You went in the dark for a moment and you liked it. Luke saw it. The boy you almost killed saw it too."
"I didn't mean it. I didn't want to. I just got so mad." Lilian said looking down at her lap.
"Andrew was so mean to me. We were training and he said hurtful things to me. I never told Ben. Luke made me keep it a secret." Lillian said. She froze when Mercury grabbed her hands. She looked up at him.
"I almost killed him. Luke yelled at me. I had never seen him so mad before." She mumbled.
"You liked it though? The power?" Lilian stood silent at his question and he grinned.
"It's ok to like it. To feel powerful. Not to feel so weak." He said.
"You are just a whore. Ben's whore." The brunette haired boy whispered to Lillian as he walked towards her. Lilian looked over her shoulder and saw Luke a few feet away talking to his other students.
"I heard your parents killed themselves because they didn't want you. No one wants you. Ben only wants you to warm up his bed. He's another freak just like you." Andrew said, igniting his saber with a grin. The blue saber waved in front of Andrew.
"Shut up." Lilian said with a frown as she gripped her saber in her hand.
"Freak. Whore and freak. Good thing mommy and daddy are dead." He whispered harshly as Luke made his way to them.
"Lilian and Andrew, you may begin." Luke said with a nod. Andrew grinned as he waved his saber in his hand and aimed at Lilian. Lighting her own weapon she aimed at him. Just as Andrew was about to strike. Lilian slammed her own weapon against him. He backed away, shocked at her strength. Before she knew it Andrew was choking. He dropped down on his knees, gasping for air.
"LILLIAN!" Luke yelled as Andrew's face turned red.
"It's ok." Mercury said, wiping her tears.
"Join me, child. Join me and I'll show what you are truly capable of."
"What about Ben?" She asked.
"Ben is nothing now. He left you." Lilian looked at him and nodded.
After a few months since meeting with Mercury. Lilian trained with him. He showed her the path of the darkness and she welcomed it. She noticed the difference between his teaching and Luke's teaching.
Mercury was brutal. There were days when Lilian couldn't get up from bed because of the bruising. She would end up with a black eye or a bruised rib. Not only was he teaching about the force but he taught her how to fight.
He taught her about surviving. He showed her things that she thought she would never do. When Lilian presented Mercury with her new saber, he praised her.
"Child, I am truly happy with your progress." Lilian smiled up at her master.
"I sense confidence. I sense no regret. I'm proud of you." He told her looking down at her as their craft landed.
"Now. I must ask you this." He tells her as they walk down the ramp to an open field.
"Yes, master?" She follows him.
He had taken her to a different planet. They stared at the green field. The mountain stood out in the background. Mercury looked over his shoulder as he stared at her.
"If I take you on a mission will you follow my every order? Even if it may seem crazy?" Lilian raised her brows at him.
"Lilian, did you know the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural?" He asked with a soft voice. Repeating the same question his master asked him once many years ago.
"I heard tales of it before." She answered him.
He nods at her. "This mission will show you that. I just need you to trust me and do everything I say.
Can you do that?"
Lilian stared at the man before her. For the first time Mercury was being soft. His blue eyes stared her, it made her feel some type of way.
Lilian had started to look up at him as a fatherly figure these past few months. Mercury slowly looked away from her.
"What made you become a sith?"
Mercury looked up from his book and looked at Lilian. Training had just finished and they were sitting near the fireplace. They stayed in an underground safe house on Hoth.
Lilian had a blanket over her shoulder as she sat on the chair across from him. Mercury shut his book and placed it on the coffee table near him.
"My father was one and his father before him. Then I became one.
"Did your father train you?" Lilian asked.
Mercury stared at her as she spoke. He looked at the nasty cut on her lip. He couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed. They were training, doing hand to hand combat. He had used the force on her and hit her. He was surprised when she got up and raised her hands into a fighting position.
"No, my father died when I was a child. He was killed."
"What?!" Lilian asked.
"Is the person who killed him still alive?" She asked him quickly. He was a bit shocked at her reaction.
"I'm afraid so." He responded to her as he saw her up from her chair. She let the wool blanket drop to the floor as she stood in front of him.
"Why don't we find this person and kill them, Master?"
Mercury smiled at her question. He brings his hand to his mouth to cover his smile. She was naïve and hopeful.
"I'm strong enough now. I can help you." She told him kneeling in front of him. The crackling wood of the fireplace was the only thing heard. He stood silent. Thinking about it even though he knew it wasn't possible.
"You would help me? You will kill someone for me?" Mercury asked softly as he placed his hands on his lap.
'You look just like her. So beautiful. So strong.' He thinks to himself as he stares at Lilian. He feels his chest tighten at her smile.
'Just like her, Lilian.' He wanted to tell her. Tell her everything but he knew he had a job to do.
"Of course, I will." She told him.
"I am forever in your debt, Master. You found me when I was alone. You found me when I was left alone by someone who I thought loved me. If you haven't found me and take me under your wing. I would have been dead." Mercury let out a sinister smile as he stared at the scenery in front of him.
"I will follow your order." Mercury let his smile drop as he turned towards her.
"Good. Now shall we?" He said, tilting his head to the side making her smile.
"Yes."
She brings her saber in front of her and ignites it. The double bladed red saber roared to life.
Mercury grinned then he took his own saber out in front of her.
