Beginnings Part 3

Nairik had tears streaming down his face. His body was shaking to the very core as he began seeping black mist from his back. It seemed to emanate from within, spreading out from inside him the angrier he got. "What was this feeling?" was the only thing he could hear clearly in his mind. All his other thoughts were being drowned out as Nairik seethed on and on. His right arm was held in the air, it was heavy, the muscles felt as if they were locked. He brought his amber gold eyes from the floor of the Skylord apartment up to meet his arm. He could see her, struggling for air a foot and a half off of the ground, with his fingers tightly curled around her throat. She was squeezing his arm, light blue mists slowly coming from her body as Lisanna was slowly suffocating.

"What is that fucking sound!?" Nairik thought to himself. Something else was cutting through the madness clogging Nairik's mind aside from the sounds of Lisanna choking. Nairik let go of Lisannas throat and she promptly fell to the ground in a gasping heap. He turned around and saw the cause of the noise. Kirian was crying calling for both her mother and father as she had learned to say "Maa and Dada" as her first two words. She stared frightened at both her parents as she was standing in her playpen, holding on to the side as she could also walk a little better now since she was 3. Tears were also streaming down her little face as she was scared after witnessing her father roar into a rampage against her mother. "Please... Nairik.. you have to listen... you.." Lisanna was trying to speak with a nearly crushed larynx but she needed to get through to her husband.

"Silence! I won't hear another word from you, you... slut!" he screamed at her as he walked closer to Kirian. "Shut this baby up or I'll shut her up for you!" he said through gritted teeth. Lisanna scrambled quickly to get to her feet despite her injuries, she was running towards Kirian when Nairik turned to look at her, holding his hand out he shot a bolt of lightening at her, missing her but instead knocking a lamp from a table for it to launch at her head. Lisanna force lept across the room at Nairik but he was too fast for her. He quickly repelled her backwards, pressing her body against a wall as he held her there with the force. She was staring at Kirian in complete fear of what Nairik may do.

 "Listen to me, you don't have to believe me, but I'd never betray you.. you know how much I love you..Kirian is our daughter! Please don't hurt her!" she pleaded.  The whole while, Laural was standing to the side watching in shock as the man she had crushed on for so long began to turn ugly and twisted with darkness. She knew it would be wise to stay quiet until he finished what he planned to do. "Pitiful.. I gave you everything, and you do this to me? To me!? And now you expect me to believe she is mine? How long had you been fucking my brother? Was it as soon as I introduced the two of you, or did you wait until after we were married?" he growled.

"Look at her.. she looks just like you.. I swear I've never been with any other man besides you.. you're my one love... " she said through gritted teeth as she could feel her ribs on the verge of cracking. Nairik looked down at the little girl who was holding her arms up to him despite the horrendous changes to his eyes. She was calling him dada as she cried and for a moment Nairik could see the truth but it wouldn't last long. Nairik reached into a bag set on the ground, pulling out a undershirt. He then let Lisanna fall to the ground again, throwing the undershirt at her. All the times his brother excelled further than him and was praised, he began to remember it. The competitions they had where his brother was always just a little better. He had thought with his life as a Jedi and with his new love Lisanna, that he had finally found something he was better at than his brother and now Nausan was taking that away from him too.

"You've always been a fine bioanalyist.. you've even created your own perfume made of scents you'd mixed from various planets. Only you know what is inside of this perfume, only you know have it.. so tell me why I smell it all over my brother's shirt? he roared at her one final time, his anger so steep he couldn't even wait for the answer. His jealously turned into blind rage as he expelled a lightening so great, all of the windows in the suite were completely blown out. A stray bolt had just grazed past Kirian's face missing her by a inch but she never noticed since she was crying histerically now with both her eyes shut tight. Lisanna was not as fortunate as the bolt went through her body, barely missing her heart but leaving her unconscious and slipping into a coma.

 Nairik had thought he had killed her and it tore his heart even more. His mind was completely mixed up as both anger and sadness gripped him, he didnt even notice Laural still present, ducking behind a couch for her own safety. Laural finally peeked up to see what had transpired. All that was left now was to get rid of this bastard child or so she thought. "If my lord so wishes it, I can take care of the little problem you have there, quick and easy. It'll be like she never existed." she said hoping to get on his good side as she ass-kissed. "No.. you will not harm her. If you do, you'll end up just like her mother.  She is all I have left of Lisanna.. despite her mothers waywardness, I want to keep the child alive. Take the baby... give her to someone else." Nairik said shakily with his back to the child not wanting to look in her face anymore. He began walking across the wrecked apartment to leave, his heart was hurting the longer he stayed. Once he reached the door, he looked back only once, to see Laural picking up Kirian trying to get her to quiet down fruitlessly.

Kirian was still reaching for him as he turned his back on her never to be seen or heard from again.
Laural had the unpleasant task of finding a new home for the unwanted child. She knew that things were going to be explosive in the Skylord building once word got out so she also needed to find new living quarters. She had hoped to take Lisanna's place, living in the penthouse suite but she hadn't accounted for Nairik blowing his top and destroying it. Not only did she not get the penthouse suite, she didn't get the man and now she to lug around someone elses baby. It didn't matter where, since once she got rid of the kid, she was hopping the first shuttle off-world to get far away from Nairik as possible in the event he found out the actual truth. It was too late to back out of the plan now that she thought Lisanna had been murdered and Nairik seemed to have gotten corrupted.

Kirian was placed in a basket and left at the Coruscant spaceport, since Laural figured with all the traffic, someone would probably find her, but she was caught trying to leave without the child and quickly lied about a "slipping mind". She carried Kirian around for another day, taking her to cantina's and anywhere else no one would dare bring a baby before she finally found a old friend who happened to own a dance-brothel. The stout and chubby Twi'lek owner took in the child only because she figured in a few years the kid could walk and work for free since she wouldn't know any better.

Lisanna awoke to find herself in the care of a secret facility on Balmorra under the orders of Major Nasaun Skylord. He found her in the wreckage of the Skylord penthouse, battered and broken body.He took her with him off world to get medical attention which couldn't be quickly accomplished on Coruscant. Lisanna was under constant surveilance as she recovered physically but she hadn't recovered mentally and was still in a coma. She remained in a coma for nearly 2 years and when she had finally woke, she would have to start her search for her daughter from a blank slate as Nausan had been murdered shortly after bringing her to the facility. Some believe that is was Nairik who dealt the killing blow to his brother for saving Lisanna, while others say it was because he had been searching for Kirian whom Nairik assumed was Nasaun's child. Lisanna knows the truth, but it was neither here nor there for her now. She had lost 2 years of her life and almost all slithers of hope of every finding her little Kirian.

Lisanna dyed her hair platinum blonde to disguise herself and never returned to the Jedi Order after what happened to her entire family. She had been a orphan when she arrived and had dedicated her life to the order only to watch everything she believed in crumble at her feet and dissappear like simple grains of sand being blown away. She would now dedicate her life to finding the daughter stolen from her, no matter what it takes. 13 years have slipped by like water through her fingers. Not a day has gone by where Lisanna hasn't checked any leads that might give her a chance to be reunited with her daughter but the dangers come from the closer she gets. Lisanna may not be the only one out for a long search.
