Alteration of Life

[Tirsa Krylana]

:: She couldn't take it. Not anymore, the Nebari thought to herself as more clothes were being piled into the black duffle bag. It wasn't easy coming to this conclusion but there was only so much Force garbage that Tirsa was willing to take. Meras was one thing, but being stuck on this hell hole, for the second time mind you, was another. At first, it wasn't too bad. Sorsha was around most of the time to keep her company... Mili was nice too .. But as the months wore on, Sorsha was gone more often then not. Doing one scheme after another against the damn Jedi ::

"GRRIYAAAH!!!"

:: Tirsa kicked the nightstand in the bedroom so hard that it cracked the wooden drawer inwards and knocked off the handle. She was tired of being in second place. But no more. Vjun was going to be nothing but a memory soon anyway.

There were only a few more personal belongings to pack and then she was out of here ::

[Sorsha Kasajian]

"So my vision is finally coming to pass .... you're leaving??"

[Tirsa Krylana]

:: she dropped the clothes she was holding ::

"GAH!!!"

:: Tirsa spun around to where Sorsha appeared, startled, but that quickly turned into anger ::

"I hate it when you do that!!!"

:: turning her back on her, she went back to packing. There was no point in lying anymore and snarled ::

"I was gone a long time ago. Just making it official now."

[Sorsha Kasajian]

"I have something, something that I've been wanting to give to you."

:: she steps into the light, and in her hand she held a small box. there was a deep love in Sorsha's eyes, mixed with sadness ::

[Tirsa Krylana]

"Don't you think it's a little late for that?"

:: The sentence ended with the zipper being closed quickly and Tirsa slipped the strap over her shoulder before turning around ... She finally saw what Sorsha was talking about and the box in her hand looking striking like a ring box ::

"Oh ..."

:: she was caught off-guard and slumped her shoulders. The look on Sorsha's face wasn't helping either. Tirsa had to be strong though. She was right in her decision ::

"Tha .. that still doesn't change anything!"

:: she was right ... wasn't she? Tirsa kicked herself mentally for stuttering and frustration was pronounced within her features ::

[Sorsha Kasajian]

"You're right. It doesn't change anything. It changes everything. I swore that I would never lose you again."

:: She looks into Tirsa's eyes and kneels before her, with the ring box in her outstretched hand ::

"Look at me. Tell me that you don't love me anymore."

[Tirsa Krylana]

:: she looked towards Sorsha, then the ring box, and back to Sorsha ::

"I ..."

:: Once again, she found herself with the inability to lie. She couldn't lie to her and looked away defeated. The strap slid off her shoulder and the bag hit the floor ::

"'Course I still do. It's just ... I can't take it anymore with you being away all the time, and I really hate it here!"

:: finally she looked back into Sorsha's eyes, her own tearing up with emotion ::

"And you know the reasons why!"

[Sorsha Kasajian]

"I love you, Tirsa. Stay with me, and you'll never be alone again. I promise."

:: she closed her eyes, and a crystal tear fell ::

[Tirsa Krylana]

:: It had been so long since she heard those words. The weight of her heart felt like a hard brick in her chest and breathing became difficult. She could count the number of times she had seen Sorsha shed a tear on one hand and found herself kneeling, hugging Sorsha tightly to her while sobbing softly ::

"I'll stay ..."

[Sorsha Kasajian]

:: Sorsha kisses Tirsa deeply, then touches her cheek and places the ring box in her hand ::

"This shall bind us forever, my sweet. Not just our hearts, but our souls."

[Tirsa Krylana]

:: the tears had stopped, but she could still feel where they fell as she grinned widely at Sorsha before looking at the box. Tirsa wasn't known for being at a lost for words but today had blind sided her completely. She was so determined to leave but this was probably the only way to have her stay. Not that she was complaining :D

Slowly she opened the ring box, catching a glint of metal inside .. but something was wrong. Tirsa could feel it ::

"Hey ... do you sense ... !!!"

:: it happened so fast. The case actually opened the rest of the way on its own and a streak of black shot up her arm so fast that she dropped the box, startled ... knocking the ring loose and sending it bouncing along the floor...

Then a sharp pain came across her temples and began to grow stronger. She could feel something wiggling, burrowing, deeper inside her head and knew what Sorsha had done to her ::

"HOW COULD YOU!!!:

:: rage filled her eyes as she screamed ::

"HOW COULD YOU BETR...."

:: another spasm of pain caused Tirsa to dropped to the floor as she tried in vane to fight off the centipede's control ::

[Sorsha Kasajian]

:: Sorsha sits cross-legged on the floor, and watches Tirsa twitch ::

[Tirsa Krylana]

:: she fell from her knees to her stomach, tearing at her hair, screaming curses at Sorsha until she inexplicably stopped. Tirsa lay motionless upon the floor and her breathing was erratic ::

[Sorsha Kasajian]

:: Sorsha crawls over to Tirsa and flips her onto her back, petting her cheek as she chants softly ... ::

"Anál nathrakh, urth vas bethud, dokhjel djenve."

:: A look of peace falls over Tirsa as her breathing becomes normal, her sub-concious drifting deeper into the dreamscape. The fallen ring slides across the floor to Sorsha's hand. She places it on Tirsa's finger, then leans down to kiss her sleeping soulmate on the lips ::
