Umbria

Hello darlings!

Sorry for the hiatus... had a rough patch... but I think I'm on an up swing... here's a sneak peak for a story I'm working on

 

   Tat rushed through the Opress compound, avoiding knocking over brothers and and other staff members.

          "My lady! I'm so sorry to interupt!" He blurted rushing into the training room where Maul and the human female were sparing. "A brother called... Pong Krell has be assigned to his regiment... they're all dying... he called for us to help them." Tat reported in a huff.

          "Make ready our best troops, we leave immediately." Maul ordered grabbing up his robe. The couple rushed out to prepare for thier journey.

          "I cant wait to meet this Krell asshole... I have serious bone to pick with him." She sneered as they took off into space.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And sorry for the briefe hiatus. Enjoy this cute one.

     Savage woke up early as usual and wandered into the kitchen to find food. Instead he found the human female bustling around the kitchen prepping copious amounts of food. She had music playing and was singing along.

     She spotted him and smiled brightly waving a flour covered hand at him.

          "Savage! Good morning." She exclaimed brightly.

          "You are never up this early... why are you now?" Savage asked.

          "On my planet today is called Thanksgiving... it's a day where we eat tons of food and deserts and hang out with family... I'm getting all the food ready right now." She explained. Savage nodded solemnly looking around the chaos of the kitchen.

          "Would you like some help?" He offered. She beamed a smile.

          "Sure! That would be so much fun!" She sqwauked happily. Savage smirked and set about helping her with the various dishes.

     The two worked hard together, mixing this cutting that, kneading dough, peeling potatoes. The aromas from the food was mouth watering.

     The pair had to chase of Ferral and various other troops from the kitchen. Savage backed off when Maul walked in to steal some food and let the couple bicker tussle, and flirt.

          "Bry." Savage nodded to his comander, as the beefy trooper walked into the kitchen.

          "Sir... you were missed at the gym this morning. I see your time was better placed... the apron is... uh... nice... unique for someone of your uh... Savage-ness... esque... ahem... when is lunch?" Bry rambled looking to Maul and the human, who was watching the scene.

          "Same time as always." She smiled kindly. "Maul! Damn it!" She cursed as the red and black zabrack darted out calling a sweet roll to him with the force. She walked over to Savage with a crooked smirk.

          "Oh, I hate it when you get that look." Savage groaned.

          "Sorry..." she chuckled. "Did you know zabrack blush a blueish color, because of your blue blood... depending on thier skin color... see, Maul blushes purplish... you and ferral are kinda greenblue... you turn that color alot when Bry is around." she stated.

          "Are we cooking or not." Savage growled. She chuckled shaking her head.

          "You zabracks are all so grumpy." She smiled.

     Lunch rolled around and everyone feasted laughed and drank. It was loud and rowdy. Several tussle broke out between Ferral and and the troops.

      After another round of food and drink everyone was basically in a food coma. Everyone draped across each other and various furniture sleeping.

     Maul held his human close as she snoozer lightly on his chest. He observed everyone around them. Ferral conversing with that jedi padawan. Savage asleep and purring with Bry leaned against his back and snoring.

          "Do you remember how you used to try and pry from me what I was thankful for on this day." He asked into her curly hair.

          "Mmh-hmm... but you always got so angry I just quit." She mumbled.

          "I'm thankful for the family I have... especially for you.... my best friend and lover." He whispered.

          "I love you so much Maul." She whispered. He pulled her close and gently kissed her lips, the two getting lost in one another.

Voyage of the Damned 3

Electromagnetic

Final installment! I've loved writing this! I hope you enjoy this as much as I have

     The troops stood around carefully listening for the entity as the four force sensitive leaders meditated to communicate a plan into thier thoughts.

          "Are we all clear on what must transpire?" Maul queried. The other three nodded. "Very well... let it begin." Maul stated.

     The four stood and broke off into different directions calling thier troops to follow.

     Maul made he way to the cockpit. He snarled at the creaking above his head. A thick metal panel dislodged and was hurtled at him. Maul flicked his wrist and sent in the opposite direction.

          "To the cockpit! Make haste, men." Maul ordered his troops. Dice shouted encouragement to his brothers as Maul deflected projectiles from them all with the force.

     The entity shrieked in frustration as Maul easily protected those around him. It took form of a shadow and ran for Maul. The crimson Zabrack snarled, igniting his lightsaber.

          "I HATE YOU!" Maul roared slashing through the shadow. It ran through him and Maul gasped from the cold. He could feel in siphoning his energy in that brief moment, as he felt the Electromagnetic field change in the cockpit area.

          "Sir, the cockpit is secure..." Dice called. Maul stumbled into the cockpit gasping.

          "Well done men." Maul praised. "It's heading towards the rest of you... may the force be with you." Maul panted over the ship speakers.

     Savage saw the shadow out of the courner of his eye. He directed his men forward into the safty of the mess hall. As they set up another Electromagnetic charge.

     Savage held back the pelting of sharp objects that the entity threw before him. Savage roared for his men to finish.

          "Done!" Bry shouted just as Savage bellowed in agony. "Get him in here!" Bry ordered.

     The entity had brought something sharp from a different direction and sliced off Savages left arm. It took two clones to haul Savages huge bulk into the safty ofnthe Electromagnetic field.

          "Savage is down! I repeat Savage is down!" Bry reported over the coms.

     Ferral felt fear, anger, and anxiety at the news he had just heard. His charges had already been set.

          "I have to go to Savage." Ferral stated walking towards the edge of the field.

          "No sir! This thing will be getting too strong, especially with all this extra energy we're putting off for it... we have to wait till the last charge is set then we'll be able to go to Savage!" Biv reasoned. Ferral snarled lightly as he panted, golden eyes staring at the entity as it started cackling.

          "Bad news guys..." she spoke into the coms. "My charges have been smashed." Her voice shook.

         "It's coming for you!" Ferral roared, watching the entity dissapear.

     She looked around creaking and grinding of the ship intensified. The entity rounded a courner, a sickening cackle echoed around them. Several of the troops feet were jerked out from under them and dragged towards the entity. The troops panicked, gripping to thier brothers to save and be saved.

          "No!" She screamed, using the force to try to pull them back, afraid she would just rip them in half.

     Objects were hurtled at them. She blocked them with the force just in time.

          "You're no match for me!" It rasped. "Your lives are mine!" 

         "You can't have anyone us." She ground out straining against the entities power.

     She thought of the troops, each one like a little kid brother to her, curious and healing from thier tramas. Ferral, growing in to a strong independent Zabrak man, powerful and kind. Savage, an old soul, learning his true potential, and gaining his freedom from the nightsisters brainwashing. And Maul... her love. He had been through so many terrible things, so filled with hate and rage at one time... now her grumpy lover, a leader, and devoted friend.

     She loved them all so dearly. She couldn't let this thing have them. Let it end thier lives while they were all on the verge of achieving thier best selves. She would do anything to make sure that would not happen.

     She felt a static release from her. An unholy screech wailed throughout the ship. She faintly heard Tat order Maul to jump to hyper space as she fell to her knees.

          "Whoah! I've gottcha." Tat soothed catching her as she blacked out and before she could fall face first into the ground. 

     She awoke in her bedroom, the breeze of the forest outside filled her lungs and cooled her skin.

     She blinked blearily and looked around to see Maul sitting beside her, watching with intense amber eyes. She smiled and reached out for him. He eagerly lay beside her and held her close.

"Wait Savage!" She jerked. Maul held her still, with a soothing 'shh' and hand rubbed down her back.

"He lives... he lost an arm and has already been fitted with a cybernetic one..." He soothed. She nodded and relaxed back into his arms

"Good." She breathed.

          "How long have you been able to use force lightning?" He questioned after a long silence. She frowned.

          "I cant..." she admitted.

         "But you did... you used it on the entity... that is how we were able to rid ourselves of it." Maul stated. "What were you thinking of and feeling when it happened?"

         "I was terrified... but I was thinking of how much I loved all of you... and couldn't let that thing take you... and how I would do anything to keep you all safe." She recounted.

          "After 12 years of companionship... the power of your love for all, has yet to cease to amaze me." Maul shook his head. She tucked her face into his neck.

         "Dont make me cry... let's just go to sleep." She murmured.

         "As you whish, my love." He answered.

 Voyage of the Damned 2

Making a plan

One more installment will finish this story line... I've been enjoying this story thanks to @corruptedbee for the idea!

        "You know seeing you be jumpy... scares me more than this thing does." She whispered to Maul as she leaned her back against his back.

          "I sense no threat through the force... but my physical instincts are telling me otherwise..." Maul shook his head.

          "The force connects all living things... and this thing isn't alive." She sighed. 

          "I have always relied on the force... and it is of no use right now... I'm..." He trailed off, his breath shuddering.

          "I know... me too." She whispered, taking his hand. He squeezed her hand tightly.

          "I will keep you safe." He swore to her. She smiled.

          "I know... you always do." She answered. "Ferral is calling someone who might know about what we're dealing with... hopefully we'll get some help." She shuddered, hearing shuffling near them.

          "He's not alone correct." Maul queried.

          "He has several of the boys watching his back." She assured.

          "You know... I found out that you aren't actually a jedi padawan..." Ahsoka spoke as soon as she answered his transmission. Her arms were crossed and she had a scowl.

         "Then why did you answer my call, my lady." Ferral tried to smile. Her arms fell to her sides as she studied him.

          "You seam off... whats wrong?" She asked.

          "I will not lie to you Ahsoka... my clan and I are in grave danger... we boarded an abandoned ship, in hopes of finding supplies and fule that we needed." Ferral began.

         "Looting? So you're actually force wielding pirates?" She scowled.

          "Please, Ahsoka. I will explain myself when my clan is safe... I see apparitions... I saw one on the ship. The most terrifying one I have ever seen... when we left the ship and were flying away the ship disappeared before our eyes..." He jumped and looked around at his surroundings. "...now that entity is on our ship, it has already killed the first two troops that saw the ship..." He finished then winced and rubbed the back of his neck blood was on his fingers. Ahsoka gasped.

          "Sir! We're sorry we don't know how it got by..." Biv exclaimed 

         "It's getting stronger... it's developed teleconetic abilities..." Ferral growled.

          "You better be pranking me!" She snapped.

         "I would never prank about this, my lady... spirits are nothing to make jokes about." He stated earnestly, his brows creased together as he studied her vibrant blue eyes.

          "How can I help?" She asked.

          "Have you ever heard of something like this?" Ferral questioned earnestly.

           "My master actually told me me some ghost stories he heard as a kid... it's called the mariners curse... or something like that... ships have reported in that they're going to investigate an abandonded ship never heard from again..." Ahsoka stated with a wince.

          "That's not good news." Ferral groaned.

     A whistle sounded, a blue and white astromech appeared in the hologram. The little Droid kept whistling, squeaking and squawking. Ferral looked from the Droid to Ahsokas wide eyes.

          "I don't understand droid..." He admitted.

          "R2 here says he's lived through an attack like you've described!" Ahsoka exclaimed excitedly. A scuttling was heard and Ferral sushed her, bedore shouting in his native tongue. There was an inhuman screech.

         "Quickly tell me!" He urged.

         "He said he turned the Electromagnetic frequency on the ship and it forced the ghost out long enough for him to fly the ship away." Ahsoka rambled as fast as possible. Ferral nodded. "May the force be with you."

          "And with you my lady." He bared his teeth in a devilish smile before ending the transmission.

         "That's not gonna be easy to do..." Biv exclaimed.

          "It's our only hope." Ferral stated, "we must report to Maul."

Voyage of the Damned

Sorry it took me so long to write this! I didn't finish because it's late and I was starting to scare myself... so I'll write part two in daylight

          "We have four days if fuel left... and we are six days away from any refueling station." Dice reported to Maul, his teeth chattering from the cold of space.

          "I'm not great at math... but... that doesn't quite add up I don't think." She sighed with a shiver.

          "No it doesn't, ma'am... and we've already stretched our resources to the max... basically we're dead in the water." Dice sighed.

          "We've come across an abandoned ship!" One of the troops exclaimed.

     They all ran to the cockpit, Maul and Savage started scanning the ship for life signs, life support and fule.

          "It has no life signs and fule so we will dock with the ship and take it."

          "I don't like this, I don't think thisbis a good idea..." she stated shivering.

          "If we don't we are dead, my love... besides we have boarded many of abandoned ships. I sense no threat in the force... forgive me but I believe your nerves are getting the better of you... you suffer from space sickness far faster than anyone here." Maul stated. She screwed her face up and hugged herself tightly but nodded.

     On the ship each of the Opress clan lead 4 troops as they explored the ship for the supplies they needed. Maul and his went to find fule, Savages troop went to find loot, as well as Ferral and his troop, and her troop went to find food.

          "Are you alright ma'am?" Tat asked steadying his leader as she started to sway and hold her head.

          "Yeah... sorry... I just got really nauseous and dizzy..." she sighed, blinking her eyes several times to clear her vision.

          "That is a part of space sickness..." Tat stated calmly. She nodded taking several deep breathes.

          "I know... but being on the verge of an anxiety attack... I've never had that with space sickness." She sighed looking around the darkness of the ship.

          "I thought we were the only ones in this part of the ship." A trooper named Bry spoke up.

          "We are." Tat confirmed.

          "Then whos running towards us." Bry questioned. She stepped forward igniting her lightsaber and holding it at ready. But nothing happened. "I'm sorry ma'am, I swear I heard some running towards us." Bry exclaimed. Several others confirmed hearing it to.

          "No its ok... I heard it too sweetie..." she added. "Who just chuckled?" She questioned.

         "No one ma'am." Tat replied looking around at his brothers.

          "I've got a really bad feeling about this." Another trooper named Vip mumbled rubbing his forehead.

          "Keep you head on the swivle, and keep in physical contact with each other." She instructed.

     Savage and his troops were looking for valuables, but there really seamed to be nothing to loot. He let out a rumbling g hum as he grew frustrated.

          "Theres nothing..." He growled.

          "Oh wow it just got really cold." Jix, leader of Savages troops shivered. Savage eyed the burly trooper then his other troops. One of them started swaying and nearly fell over. His glowing grayish green eyes darted to the ceiling as dis the rest of the troops. A scuttling noise above them.

          "Uh... what was that?" Jix asked.

        "Me." A scratchy voice hissed into Jix ear. The big trooper jumped and yelled swatting at his ear.

          "What the kriff!" Jix cursed, a large thud and receding running steps sounded further down the hall behind them.

          "I don't like this." Savage rumbled "we need to find Ferral."

     Ferral rubbed the back of his neck, his stomach turning. He exhaled slowly.

          "What's wrong sir?" Biv asked.

          "Back on Dathomier... in my village... every now and then a spirit of a long dead nightsister would come into our village and tourment me for months for being able to see her... I've got that same feeling as when she would first start to haunt me, here..." He explained looking around. "We really need to leave this place." Ferral shivered eyes fixating on a spot. "All teams... Retreat slowly back to the exit..." He ordered quietly, into his comm.

          "We have the fule we need so we can leave." Mauls voice sounded.

     Back on thier ship they refuled and Maul was maneuvering away from the ship when his stomach suddenly felt none existent. It wasn'ta sense theough the force, but pure animal instinctsthat told him all was not well.

          "Karabast." Mauls voice shook. "Please... someone explain to me... how the ship we were just on... disapeared, right before my eyes." Maul questioned

          "I saw it too sir." Dice confirmed. "Let's just get some heat on and get home." Dice shook. Mauls amber eyes roamed the cockpit, never had he felt this way... like prey.

          "We have company..." Maul growled lightly.

[odetoavillan]

So I've been hyper fixating on paranormal investigation stuff lately... and was wondering if anyone would be interested in seeing the Opress brothers, the human female, and or any other star wars characters in a haunted something....

Let me know with comments and or messages

[odetoavillan]

The full moon tonight is the reason for my insomnia and brain fog I do believe... no wonder hahahaha...

enjoy the story darlings...

Kenobi

     As the clone wars raged on the Opress clan kept recruiting miss treated clones to them.

     On one of these missions, Maul and his human female got separated and she got pinned down away from him and her troops. He roared her name as she was quickly becoming overwhelmed by the battle droids.

     A flash of a blue lightsaber lept into the fray with her, together two started gaining ground.

          "I thought I at least knew of every jedi around my age... my apologies... I'm Obi-wan Kenobi." He bowed.

          "Oh kriff..." she mumbled, hearing Maul roar her name as he got closer. "I'm ok." She panted as he slammed into her, holding her tightly. "Thanks to him." She added.

          "You.... not possible... I killed you." Obi-wan ignited his lightsaber. Maul growled igniting his.

          "I have looked forward to this day for nigh on 12 years! Killing you..." He trailed off when he felt her hand land on his chest.

          "Maul... he saved me... and I saved you... I think he's earned a pass, at least for today." She stated softly. Maul disengaged his lightsaber with a growl.

          "You  two are sith!" Obi-wan snapped.

          "More like something in-between..." she shrugged.

           "I cannot just allow the two of you to walk away." Obi-wan stepped forward. She looked beside Obi-wan at empty space and tilted her head.

          "Would you like some absolon tea?" She asked. Obi-wan blanched and looked from her to Maul disengaging his saber.

          "How did you... that was a code i had with my old master..." He started.

          "It's time to go." Maul sneered pulling her away.

          "You can trust us... Laterz." She smiled at the jedi master.

[odetoavillan]

Talks very passively about Canon level violence and use of lightsaber/lightsaber like weapons on beings for violent information extraction and unaliving...

Lightsabers and Impulse Control

          "...So... a knife that self heats to the point it could cauterizes a wound... it'd be super helpful to have something like that in a first aid kit." She stated absently over supper one evening.

          "It would also be a good torturing implement." Maul added, not looking up from his plate.

          "It'd be bad as a murder weapon though." Ferral stated a mouthful of meat in his cheek. "The victim wouldn't bleed out..."

          "It could be good for heating up water and food." Savage pondered.

          "You could cut bread and have it come off as toast!" She gasped excitedly. "We have to make something like that she wiggled in her seat excitedly.

     The clones watched thier leaders glancing around at each other.

          "You mean lightsabers?" Dice asked slowly. She slowly looked at him, then slowly back to Ferral who was grinning devilishly.

          "Go get the bread!" She sqwauked, whipping her lightsaber out.

          "Karabast..." Maul muttered, "Darling... please be careful your impulsive, absent-minded tendencies have been really high lately..." He instructed gently.

         "It'll be fine..." fine she waved her hand as she ignited the saber as Ferral arrived.

          "The last time it was this bad you nearly grabbed the blade of one of my sabers!" Maul protested. The clones were all slowly starting to move away, Savage with them.

          "That was one time!" She waved the saber dismissively.

          "I ended the training session because you couldn't stop almost grabbing the blade." Maul argued.

        "I dont remember that... it's fine!" She sighed pressing the blade into the bread and reached over to hold the bread in place... right above the cyan blue blade. Mauls hand snapped put and gripped her hand pulling it back, followed by cries of warning from all around the mess hall.

          "You... really, must get some sleep... and put that thing away." Maul sighed, taking the saber from her and deactivating it.

          "I'm sorry!" She nearly cried.

          "shhh... Come now its bed time, love... Ferral, prepare some sleeping tea." He soothed, guiding her out of the mess hall.

          "Not a word of this tomorrow understood." Savage ordered, "she either wont remember or will be really embarrassed... either way adding more strees to her mind right now will not help anything." Savage finished. All the troops nodded and went back to thier supper.

[odetoavillan]

Child's Play

          "It's wrong!" She shouted.

         "He is a nightbrother! It is what they are bred and trained thier whole lives for!" Maul shouted back.

          "I don't care! He's just a kid!" She snapped waving her arms for emphasis. "Just let him be a kid!"

         "Nightbrothers become adults when they are old enough to produce offspring! My love... I do not wish to fight with you anymore..." Maul sighed wearily,  rubbing his eyes.

          "I'm sorry... but I still think it's wrong to let Ferral onto the battle field of the clone wars..." she stated more gently. Maul opened his arms to her and she reluctantly stepped forward.

          "We could argue about this until we die of old age... but it won't change the fact that he is your apprentice, and he must  go where you go." Maul answered, hugging her.

          "I just... I don't want... never mind... I'll go get ready..." she sighed trying to pull away.

          "Speak your mind my love." Maul stated holding her tighter.

         "I don't want him to end up like you were..." she mumbled.

          "That won't happen..." Maul purred. "Ferral is not within Sideious clutches... and he has you..."

         "Mmk..." she sighed.

         "I love you." Maul muttered.

         "I love you too." She replied.

     Ferral sat in the cockpit alone, having snapped and growled at everyone of thier troops who had tried to keep him company.

          "Ooof... theres nothing quit like a brooding Opress." She exclaimed flopping into the copilot seat.

          "I'm not brooding!" Ferral snapped with a low growl. She studied him a long moment before bowing her head.

          "Oh Ferral... I'm so sorry... my not wanting you on this mission had nothing to do with my thoughts on your abilities as a warrior... only that you're still just a kid." She explained.

         "But according to my culture I am an adult." Ferral shouted.

         "I know... I have my thoughts against the nightsisters... but that's a completely different topic... you are without a doubt a fantastic warrior... Maul is very impressed by what you can do and you're already nearly as good as me at sabers... and I know you've lost brothers to the nightsisters.... but war is so... terrible... I just wanted to keep you from more trauma... my first instinct is to protect... especially those I love." She sighed. "I 100% trust you to have my back out there, Ferral."

          "Thanks." He bowed his head smiling. She stood up and kissed the top of his head.

         "You're a good man Ferral Opress. Come join the rest of us when you're ready... the boys are arm wrestling." She grinned walking out. Ferral quickly followed, loving games of strength.

     On the battle field, Ferral felt overwhelmed. The sounds, sights, smells, the force aching around him at the loss of life on the planet.

          "Sir... waiting on your orders." A clone name Biv stated. Ferral felt that there was someone pinned down by the battle droids.

          "This way." He stated running towards the area he felt them.

     He leapt into the middle of the fray with a roar, his lightsaber ignited. He had no idea who the young female was beside him, but she was wielding a lightsaber too. The two worked together seamlessly, guiding each other via the force on thier next move.

          "Thanks for the assist." The she smiled at him when the last Droid fell. Ferral turned to finally actually see the young woman. She was a Togruta, her white facial markings bringing attention to bright blue eyes. "I'm Ahsoka Tano." She smirked.

          "I'm... Ferral..." He answered trying to casually look her over.

         "Your fighting style is kinda wild... but what's your name..." Ahsoka rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

          "That is my name... Ferral." He responded.

          "Oh! Sorry." She smiled.

          "You are an incredible warrior for someone so small..." Ferral marvled. "I would very much like to spar with you." He grinned, fangs flashing slightly. She flashed hers in return.

          "Sounds fun." She replied. "Maybe when we're both back at the jedi temple."

          "You're a jedi!" Ferral blurted stepping back.

          "Aren't you?" She asked warily.

          "Uhhh yes... yes I am a jedi..." He grinned.

          "Ah! There you are my padawan!" Ferral looked around to see the human female. "Are we all good here Biv?" She asked Ferrals lead clone, indicating that he had checked on and informed his brother's that there was an option for then beyond slavery to the Republic.

         "Yes ma'am." Biv nodded.

"Where's your padawan braid sir?" Rex asked Ferral.

          "Did you loose your padawan braid again Ferral? Tsk...." she tutted "It falls right off hisnhorns whilenhe flailing about! come on Ferral, we have new orders." Ferral nodded and turned back to Ahsoka with a wide grin.

          "You still owe me a sparing match." He grinned backing away from her.

          "Looking forward to kicking your ass." She called after him.

          "Only in your dreams of me, my lady." Ferral smirked taking her hand and bowing low before darting off.

     Back on the ship Ferral felt eyes on him and looked around to find the human and the troops all eyeing him. The smile he didn't realize was still on his face fell.

          "What?" He asked.

         "You're so kriffin' cute!" She sqwauked pinching both his cheeks, "Biv, Tat, get us out of here."

          "I'm not cute! I'm a warrior! A predator!" Ferral growled.

          "Cutie pie." She cooed. Ferral snarled playfully and lunged at her. The two scuffled laughing as the troops cheered for thier resprctive leader.

          "Comander?" Rex asked bumping Ahsoka lightly. "You might want to whipe that grin off before we get back to general Skywalker." The captain advised. Ahsoka looked up at him and hardened her face, clutching in her hand the holo frequency code Ferral had given her.

          "What grin?" She aasked.

          "Better..." Rex nodded the smirk evident in his voice.

Was too tiered after work to write anything long... but this is stupid sweet and cute... enjoy

Your Eyes

     Maul and his human held each other in the early morning studying the others eyes intently.

     She reached up and stroked his cheek lightly stroking his tattoos with her thumb.

          "I could get lost in your eyes." She whispered.

        "You get lost walking in a straight line... whats your point." Maul retorted. She snorted and laughed burying her face in the pillow to muffle her loud laughter. Maul smirked at having made her laugh and hugged her tightly. "I suppose I understand the sentiment." He rolled his eyes as she looked back to him.

        "Sorry too late you've ruined the moment." She pouted playfully. Maul purred, pulling her to his chest.

          "I love you..." He whispered intonher hair. She jerked up and looked at him. 

         "That's the first time you've ever said that..." she mumbled.

          "Tis the truth, my lady... I have loved you for many years and bee. Too much of a coward to say so." Maul sighed.

         "Stop it! You know I understand you and your background... I knew you loved me, at least respected me by the way you treated me... but it's still good to hear the words." She blushed. "I love you too..." she leaned forward and kissed him. 

         "May I never stop telling you then." Maul muttered over her lips holder her as close as possible.

The Clones

     The Opress clan had Crimson Dawn set up so that minimal effort from them was needed so they could about the galaxy searching for more contacts and resources to solidify thier hold on the galaxies criminal underworld.

     Maul was on a solo mission to aquire some kind of security force for thier fortress. 

      He sat in a bar carefully eyeing the 30 or so iditical men who were all identical to Jango Fett, and wore white armor.

     Now it wasn't strange for complete strangers to share their life stories with the human female, and he was used to hearing all kinds of sob stories and grew weary of them. But this was the first time Maul found himself purposefully listening into a said sob story sympathizing with the being.

         "...our leaders care nothing about me and my brothers... we're nothing more than weapons that our leaders use and discarded just as easily... we malfunction we get decommissioned..." the clone rambled.

          "Who are your leaders?" he asked.

          "The jedi..." the clone mumbled.

          "Forgive him sir... he's drunk." Another trooper stated grabbing the rambling soldier and putting him into the waiting hands of two other brothers.

         "I understand what you and your brothers are going through.... more than you could understand. " Maul stated approaching the lead clone, palms held up as a sign of peace. "Come with me..."

        "And become deserters! No thanks..." the leader shook his head.

          "Come with me and you will be treated like the true Mandalorians that you are... with respect, and honor." Maul held his hand out to the leader.

     The clone looked around at his brothers. They all were giving signs and hints they wished to join.

         "General Krell is going to get us killed." The first clone blurted.

           "We can't abandon the Republic... or all our other brothers." The leader sighed.

         "The Republic!" Maul laughed mirthlessly waving his hands for emphasis. "The Republic has no loyalty to you or any of your brothers... but I know a woman... who will make it her life's goal to free your brothers once she learns of your plight." Maul stated calmly, extending his hand again. The leader of three troop hesitantly shook Mauls hand.

          "For our brothers." He nodded. Maul smirked.

         "Gather the rest of your brothers that are under this General Krell... and meet me at this docking bay." Maul stated handing the leader his information.

     When Maul returned to thier hide out he was greeted with a hug and kiss by his human.

           "So, your mission was successful then." She smiled hanging back from his neck as he hugged her waist close.

         "Indeed it was..." He smirked. "This is the caption of our new security force, Dice..."

         "Ma'am." The leader clone, saluted. She stared at him a long moment.

         "Jango?" She droned. "Oh! Wait you're his clones I heard about that... do we really want Jango's mini me's running around." She mumbled to Maul.

         "I assure you they are nothing like thier DNA doner." Maul chuckled. "Just wait till you hear thier story..."

[odetoavillan]

Sunlight

     Everything in the galaxy knew that the Pyke syndicate was not an organization that you messed with.

     So naturally they were furious when Crimson Dawn got new leadership, and started ignoring treaties and deals.

          "Any of the three zabrak brothers would be impossible to hold for randsom." One of the criminals hissed to thier boss.

          "The human female... she is clumsy and stupid... and taking her would certainly rip the hearts right out of the Opress brothers. They would be willing to do anything we say to ensure her safty." Another reported.

          "Hire the best bounty hunters in the galaxy to ensure she arrives alive." The leader finished the discussion.

     The human female was taking her morning run when a mandalorian stepped out in front of her.

          "Su cuy'gar*, Jango!" She greeted happily. (*Hello or you're still alive)

          "Su cuy'gar*, ika'tranyc**." He nodded as she grew closer. (*, little sun)

          "What brings you all the way out here?" She questioned. The bounty hunter pulled out a bounty fob with her hologram on it. "Ah!..." she stated knowingly, as a blaster materialize in his other hand. "Who?"

          "The pyke syndicate..." He asked. Her face curled in disgust. "A jobs a job." He shrugged.

         "Oh I know, sweetheart... we won't hold you doing your job against you... we were planning on taking out the pykes soon anyway..." she shrugged falling into step beside him. He dug his blaster into her back and pushed her forward. "Dude really?"

          "I know what you're capable of..." He answered with a chuckle.

     Maul looked around at his empty bedroom. His human usually made it back to thier room first.

          "Ferral, Savage?" Maul called out seeing his youngest and oldest brother down the hall. "Where is she?" Maul continued as the two zabraks ran to stand with him.

         "I... haven't seen her since breakfast." Ferral reported. Savage nodded his agreement.

         "She was going for a run last I saw of her." Savage stated. Maul huffed.

         "I want to know where she is immediately!" Maul growled. "Everyone is to start searching for her."

     An hour later the old Twa'liek Ferral had named as one of his advisors lead the three brothers to where a hologram of a Pyke stood over the human female, as she knelt on the ground. Mauls fists tightened behind his back at the sight.

          "As you can see we have your human." The pyke hissed.

         "I see." Maul sighed, looking her over. A noticeable nod from the human told him she was alright. He looked back to the pyke and stares at it. The silence was long before the pyke spoke up.

         "You will do as we say..." the pyke spoke up awkwardly, "or she dies." It pointed a blaster at her head.

          "Do not threaten her." Maul warned evenly. "This is your only warning to release her." He finished, waving his hand to end the transmission. "I'll be returning to my quarters."

"Really?" Savage blinked.

"That's it?" Ferral and Savage both looked perplexed by the sheer lack of raging coming from his brother.

          "My Lord Maul!" The old Twa'liek blurted standing in front of the red and black Zabrak.

         "Zaq... don't." Ferral warned grabbing the Twa'lieks shoulder.

          "You leave her to her fate? Does she mean that little to you?" Zaq continued shouting.

          "She isn't the kind of woman who needs saving." Maul quipped easily, trying to end the confrontation. Zaq lunged at Maul but Ferral easily held the old man back until Maul waved him away.

          "She is pure sunlight! She is good, and will be destroyed by the pykes." Zaq had tears rolling down his wrinkled old face.

        "Hear me old man... sunlight... is not only just warm and good... it is lethal as well." Maul smirked patting the old man's shoulder as he walked by.

     The next morning Maul was awakened by his com. He sat up and eyed the empty space next to him. His nightmares ever present without her.

        "Speak quickly and concisely." He hissed.

        "Pyke syndicate ships have arrived above the planet... they are hailing us." Savages voice reported. Maul quickly dress and made his way to the comand center. He nodded to bring up the communication.

         "Took you long enough." Maul sneered at the hologram of a wild haired human Female... his human. She smirked in return.

        "You look terrible! Did you miss me?" She grinned.

          "What do you have to report?" Maul asked.

         "Pyke syndicate is no more... it is now apart of Crimson Dawn." She smiled brightly.

        "Excellent! Well done my Lady... now return immediately... I have... important matters to discuss with you." Maul ordered.

         "On my way down now." She nodded walking away from the holo.

     When she was back Ferral followed by Zaq, hugged her tightly. The old Twa'liek eyed her and patted down her curly mane.

         "What wrong Zaq?" She questioned.

        "Sunlight is... lethal?" He questioned. The human smirked and patted him..

         "Yes it is... I need to report to Maul though... can you two see to it that our new branch is melded in." She asked. The two nodded and she walked away to find Maul, following thier connection in the force.

     She found him in thier shared room. He was practically waiting for her and hugged her.

         "Never do that again." He pleaded into her hair.

         "I will do my best." She answered. "You look exhausted my love... didn't you sleep."

        "No... I was hoping that you would be willing to take a nap." He stated.

          "Oh, force that sounds amazing! I am bone weary!" She hummed crawling into bed with him.

     She was in his arms again, safe; though she didn't need saving.

     But all the same, they belonged together.

[odetoavillan]

I had a super busy day... so here's a cute and short one

1...2...3...

     Maul closed his eyes as the brown batter flung everywhere. His human counterpart used a vieriaty of colorful swear words, that didn't much make sense. She got the mixer to stop and looked at the mess all over him, and busted out laughing before carefully whiping it off his eyes.

        "I told you to pay attention to what you were doing." He growled.

        "Yeah yeah." She retorted finishing with his face the moved to his tunic. "This'll need washed." She stated tugging at his shirt. Maul stripped it off and glared at her. "On a scale from 1 to 10..

 How bad do you want ro kill me right now?" She asked jokingly.

          "I am hovering in the high thirties." He snapped. She chuckled nervously and wrapped her arms around his bare waist.

         "We'll aren't I lucky that you love me." She cooed, kissing along his jaw then his lips. He kissed back momentarily.

         "1..." He stated.

         "1 what?" She questioned, kissing his chest.

        "2..." He continued. She looked up  at him, sensing something amiss. "When I get to five... you are done for." He snorted. "3..." He smirked.

     She turned and ran cursing up a storm as she darted down the halls.

          "...4... 5." Maul smirked running after her.

[odetoavillan]

Some pretty heavy making out, but no smut action...

I liked this one a lot... I thought it was fun and cute... I'd love to hear from y'all

ENJOY!

Pros and Cons

        "What are they doing?" Maul sneered. His human followed his gaze around to find what he was looking at. "Are they fighting with thier face?" Maul queried.

          "It does look that way, but no... they're kissing on the lips... couples tend to do that." She explained holding back a chuckle. Maul looked to her now curiosity etched in his face. The fact made her happy.

          "Why have you not kissed me on the lips?" He questioned. She looked to the vendor they stood next to and smiled warmly paying for her fruit.

          "He was very sheltered." She explained quietly to the old Twa'liek. "Because I didn't want to overwhelm you... it's a very intimate act... and to be honest I've never kissed anyone on the lips either... so... I'm afraid I'll be terrible at it." she explained holding his hand. 

     Maul watched the other couple as the male kissed the females cheek. Maul grew silent, thinking about how he had never kissed his human partner in return. She squeezed his hand and kissed it sensing his shift in mood but not sure of the reason. He squeezed her hand bsck and then turned his focus onto thier supply run.

     Later that evening the pair was cleaning up supper dishes when Maul hugged her waist tightly from behind. She leaned back into him hugging his arms around her.

"You've been so quiet all day... are you ok?" She asked. Maul pressed his lips into her cheek and she hummed with contenet. "I liked that." She hummed happily.

"Im very glad to hear that." Maul rumbled turning her around and started kissing all over her face. Her cheeks, her nose, forehead, eyes, jaw.

          "Maul what had gotten in to you?" She giggled and squealed as he pinned her to the tiny counter space in the kitchen. Her sounds urged Mauls instincts to continue, holding her face still.

     In his pursuit to kiss every inch of her face he found her lips. The sensation sent a thrill down his spine, her little half whimper/hum nearly sent him into over drive. He leaned into her lips and growled as she started moving her lips against his. Then he felt her tongue brush against his lips, and oh, how he wanted more of that. She opened her mouth to his tongue and her taste and tongue, her smell was driving him mad. He growled as she pulled her lips away from him.

          "I need to breathe." She pleaded. Her head was tilted back as she evaded him. Maul saw her neck, and remembered in his teachings of physiology that the human neck had a lot of nerve clusters and pressure points. He latched his lips on one.

     The gasp that came from her made him chuckle, as he kissed liked and sucked on different points. His instincts told him to bite.

She yelped and grew rigid pulling him closer, a leg wrapping around one of his. "Dont stop! Oh, please don't stop!" She pleaded holding the back of his head. Maul rumbled happily as he continued biting her neck. "Maul... my darling love..." she panted, trying desperately to fight against the building lust. "I know what I just said... but... This is leading... to sex... very quickly... are we ready for this... push past the hormones and lets seriously discuss this please." she shuddered as his teeth scraped her throat. He pulled back and kissed her chin before studying her teal eyes.

          "Pro and cons?" He questioned, playing with her curls.

          "Pros... well sex..." she chuckled nervously.  "Regular cardio..."

         "You said this was to be a serious discussion." Maul scolded playfully pulling her hair.

          "Our connection will get... bigger..." she stated. "It's hard to have a sexual relationship with someone and not get incredibly emotionally involved..." she was fiddling with his tunic as she spoke, unable to look back at him.

          "So our connection in the force will become stronger? I believe that to be a good thing." Maul answered tilting her chin up to see her eyes. "Cons?"

         "Potential for kids shoot way up... regardless of how careful we are... I've just got off my period so we'll be safe tonignt. But..." she mumbled, face turning red.

          "We will look into counterceptives tomorrow." Maul nodded. "My kind can get... rough."

        "I'm a tough woman." She smirked.

        "I could hurt you..." Maul argued. She grew thoughtful, playing with his tunic again.

        "I'll tell you if it's starting to hurt... communication is really important during sex anyway... just like combat." She shrugged. Maul hummed brushing his lips against hers.

        "Every con has a solution, and the pros are beneficial..." Maul rumbled, hands sliding down to her hips and lower. "Are you still willing to proceed?" Maul queried, nipping along her jaw.

         "Bed, now." She ordered gripping his shoulders and jumped to wrap her legs around his waist. She yelp when he gripped and slapped her ass.

        "I'm in charge here." He snarled. Her chin lowered and a brow raised, her 'bitch please' smirk making itself known. "A challenge..." Maul growled with pleasure "what fun this will be." He smirked easily carrying her to bed.

[odetoavillan]

Adrenaline

     Maul cut his way through the dense jungle, the human female tight on his heels, as were the hundred or so primitive natives.

     His adrenaline was pound through his viens, his desire to turn around and slaughter these primitaves was nearly overwhelming... But keeping his human friend and apprentice safe was his first and only priority now.

          "Grab hold of me!" Maul ordered turning to her. She lached onto him, he protectively cradled her head and back and flung them both over a steep ridge. They rolled to the bottom. "Quickly! Away from the high ground! Get to the ship!" Maul snapped. She stumbled slightly but ran into the clearing where the Infiltrator was hidden. Maul used the force to fling back arrows and spears. "Bring the ship to me." he instructed.

     She disappeared into the Infiltrator. He momentarily thought that she was leaving him as she flew the opposite direction. But no, she would never leave him. She was still just a really clumsy pilot, as she maneuvered the open ship ramp towards him and blocked a significant amount of the crude projectiles.

          "Are you on?" He heard her shout as he jumped onto the ramp.

          "Go!" He snarled. The ramp closed and the ship made a shaky accent into space. He made his way into the cockpit. "Move!" He hissed. She quickly jumped out of the chair and let him have the ship. She sat in the copilot chair silently until they were into space.

          "I'm really sorry I was so slow on the pick up... and I'm just acknowledging the fact, out loud, mostly for myself, that you're not actually mad at me, its just your adrenaline pumping." She rambled.

          "You did well for your first hasty take off... you still need practice..." he looked at her and smirked, her curly hair was caked with mud stiks and leaves. He stood and started gently removing the foreign objects from her hair, noticingnshe was shaking from the adrenaline. "I am angry but not with you, only that we didn't complete the job... we reallycould use the credits." Maul growled pinching the bridge of his nose.

            "Oh you mean this?" she grinned, revealing the artifact they had been commissioned to retrieve. Maul smirked and held the artifact up to study it, shaking his horned head.

          "You continue to impress me, my friend." He stated handing the artifact bact to her.

          "Victory hug?" She questioned throwing her arms open. Maul rolled his eyes and head with a low growl, barely containing a satisfied smirk.

          "If we must." He relented, stepping into her embrace. She tightly hugged his waist humming with contenet, and he held her waist and head close. Her presence bringing down his adrenaline and rage towards the primitives.

          "Maybe we can buy the stuff to make a nice steak meal?" She wheezed under the pressure of his embrace.

        "Sounds delightful... am I holding you too tightly? He asked. She quickly shook her head.

         "It feels like you're squeezing all the frayed nerves back into place, andnstipping me from shaking so bad... please, don't let go." She pleaded gripping him tighter and burying her face in his chest.

         "It's a combination of your nerves and the adrenaline wearing off, you will eventuallygrow usednto it... but untill then... I will hold you for as long as you need." He replied pulling them both back to the pilots seat. She sat in his lap face now tucked into his neck and he continued to cradle her close, feeling her calm into a light slumber. Content, Maul let himself drift off as well.

[odetoavillan]

Training

     Maul left an opening in his defense as he spared with her, just to see if she would notice. She did, and her heel landed in his ribs. He grabbed her ankle, to push her over, but she grabbed his neck and flung her other leg around his shoulders. He tried to keep his balance but she grabbed his horns and twisted landing on the ground with him underneath.

         "Well done!" He grunted out a laugh. She panted heavily, keeping him pinned via pressure point.

          "You let me win." She huffed.

          "I allowed you strike me... I did not expect you to claim victory." He continued to chuckle.

     She flopped off him and lay on the ground, still panting. Maul sat up and watched her slowly catch her breath. His gaze slowly crept over her form. She always wore way oversized clothes, so when she lay on the ground was the only time her small frame could be made out. Maul had no idea why he looked forward to these moments, or quite why looking at her made his hearts pound out of sync.

          "You've got that look again." She spoke cutting into his thoughts.

          "I am pleased with your progress, my apprentice" He stated sitting cross legged near her.

         "You're still calling me that! It's been ages!" She droned.

          "Its only been 13 standard months." Maul snorted rolling his eyes.

          "Are you ever going to stop calling me that?" She laughed, poking his knee with her toes.

        "A master and an apprentice is a life time commitment." He stated as she sat up across from him.

          "I just thought we'd have at least progressed beyond those stiff titles." She shrugged.

          "At least? What more is there?" He questioned, scowling at her.

          "A lot!" She chuckled. "Friendship, relationship... I'm just talking nonsense again... I'll leave." She laughed face turning pink as sne stood up to go.

          "Sit." He droned. She huffed and sat on her knees this time. "Explain yourself." He ordered. She wiped her face and studied some arbitrary point just passed him. "Is the jedi ghost here again." He asked wearily.

          "Mmmh? Oh no... sorry... I was thinking... I just... please don't push me away... I'm not going to do anything ornry." She stated scooting closer to him. 

          "What are you doing?" He snarled, as she tentatively took his hands in hers. 

          "Look... I know you're having feelings that you don't understand towards me... I'm having the same feelings for you." She explained gently. Maul scowled.

         "Do not be ludicrous..." he started to hiss before she kissed the backs of his hands. "What's the meaning of this." He asked stiffening. Her cool teal eyes never left his amber ones. She put her hands on his thighs and started leaning forward. He started snarling at her.

          "It's ok..." she soothed, stopping her advancments and backing way slightly.  "I won't hurt you." Her thumbs carresed his thighs. He had seen her do something like this many times with agressive and wounded animals. He wanted to growl at the thought but knew it was true... he was nothing more than a thrashing wild animal, and she was about to tame him. "Remember when I got cold that one time?" She asked.

        "Yes..." He responded.

        "I'm going to get about that close... are you ok with that?" She asked, studying his features.

          "Yes..." He answered after a long mental debate. She smiled and leaned forward again.

     She kissed his cheek, leaning back to gage his reaction. His brow was creased, his nose and lips curled in a silent snarl.

         "What was that?" He hissed.

         "A kiss... it's a form of affection." She explained smiling lightly.

         "It's disgusting." He snapped. She nodded once and started moving back. Maul quickly caught her aound her biceps and held her close. He glared at her, a growl low in his throat. "Again." He ordered. She chuckled kissing his other cheek. He swallowed a strange vibrating in his throat as she lingered just a little longer on his cheek.

          "Maul... I don't tame those agressive animals... I'm not trying to tame you... I'm just trying to gain your trust." She whispered holding either side of his face. Maul exhaled shakily as she stroked his cheeks, holding her wirsts.

She kissed under all three of his fore horns. Never had any one ever been as gentle or caring with him as this human. He decided he quite liked this affection and her. He grabbed her tightly around the waist and held her as close as he could. She grunted as air was forced from her lungs.

          "You have my unending trust and loyalty, my.... friend" He vowed.

          "And you have minen my desr friend." She smiled brightly down at him .Maul chuckled, his frame starting to shake under all the unfamiliar feelings. "Hey... let's go read something together..." she stated trying to pull away. He growled holding her tighter, she grunted again. "Maul! Sweetie... you need to give yourself a quick brake... you're shaking, you're getting overwhelmed... trust me... and I cant breath." She urged. He quickly let her go. She stood and pulled him up by his hands, he did feel better but he wanted more. She bumped into his shoulder with hers as they walked. "Just like your training me for combat... you just need training for affection... I'm new to the whole physical affection thing too so we'll get better at it together." she explained interlacing her fingers with his.

          "Agreed." Maul felt an upward tug on his mouth but scowled instead. She laughed and hugged his arm. Maul the upward tug took over his features at the sound of her laugh, and he couldn't have felt more at peace.
