( I'm new to tagging my writing so I'm happy to learn!)
Rylesha (my OC) wanted to answer this herself, so here goes my first real attempt at writing a... ficlet, I guess? Be kind and enjoy!
My sleep had been blissfully deep and dreamless since my medic gave me the sedative. Thank the Force for that man and his ability to deal with me with a level head and an iron fist. Without sedation my days had blurred together into a haze of grief and breakdowns the likes of which I'd never experienced.
My Master was gone, killed during his escape from the Citadel. I'd felt it as soon as it had happened and knew he had joined the Force again. My only answer for why I hadn't felt the next loss was that I was so consumed with the first that it hadn't registered at all. Or so I'd thought.
Captain Rex and ARC Trooper Fives had told me of the loss of Echo -- my vod and one of my closest friends in the galaxy. My thoughts kept returning to why I hadn't sensed it. Why hadn't I felt him join the Force? Between the waves of crushing grief I felt something keep bringing me back to that thought.
The dreams were worse than all of it, though.
Inky blackness always seemed to surround me, hiding everything from view. A voice called my name, but it was faint. So far away I doubted I'd truly heard it at all.
More than once I found myself waking to the sound of panicked screams and a metal door slamming shut. It felt too real, too close. My racing heart and labored breathing sending me into a panic that would last until my medic would inevitably sedate me again.
Not my finest or most dignified hour.
~*~*~*~*~
The dreams had eventually faded away and I returned to my duties without incident, but occasionally my thoughts drifted back to them again. I'd shake the reminder from my thoughts and carry on, because I wasn't sure what else to do.
A night came where that same inky haze drifted at the edges of my dreams again and I listened. I waited.
I heard my name being called again from far away, but this time I searched for its source. I ran until there was nowhere left and found myself before a metal door. A glass porthole at its center frosted over with ice. I knew a crude cyrochamber when I saw one and felt fear tangle itself like vines in my chest.
I couldn't see anything in the chamber, but I could hear something from within its frigid recess.
CT-1409, CT-1409, CT-1409...
My breath caught in my chest and I couldn't believe what I'd heard.
"E-Echo?" I dared to ask and the repetition ceased.
"Ry? No. You aren't real." he spoke lowly, his voice like gravel and he sounded so tired it made my chest ache bitterly.
"I am real, Echo. Tell me where you are! Let me help you!"
"You can't help me now. Just go. Before they take you too."
I wanted to ask what he meant, but a door slammed behind me just as the repetition of his CT number began again.
I was pulled away from the chamber. Not by Echo. The Force. I was dropped back into my own body and mind unceremoniously and the shock of the feeling sent me toppling from my bed and onto the cold durasteel floor.
I scrambled for the private comm Rex had given me after we'd lost Echo.
"Just in case..." He'd told me quietly, but the meaning wasn't at all lost on me.
In case I needed to talk. In case I needed a friend. Just... in case.
I pressed the button and watched as its light flashed while it connected. I tried with all I had to steady my breathing and my heart that felt like it might jump from my body and run for it at any moment, but it was no use.
"General? It's late. Is everything okay?"
I could hear the concern in his voice, as evident as the fear in mine was no doubt about to be.
"No, Captain. I need you to listen to me. I know what I'm about to say is going to sound completely insane, but I need you to trust me. Can you do that?"
It only took a moment for him to agree and then I let everything I saw and heard spill out of me. He was silent as he listened and when I finished that same silence took over.
"If you find any intel that may lead to Echo I need to you to chase it. I need you to promise me this, Rex." I told him and tried to put any amount of strength I had into those words.
"I will, Rylesha. I promise."
I thanked him and let myself fall back against the side of the bed with a heaving sigh. I'd done what the Force asked and relayed the message to one of the only people I trusted enough to follow through on his promise.
All I could do from that point was trust and wait.
Thank you so much for reading! Please be kind as this is the very first of my writing I'm sharing with the Tumblr-verse!

Hypnotic - Chapter 2 Nightmares
Sith!Obi Wan x Jedi!OC
Explicit (18+)
While flying, Veth focused on his navigation. He could feel that Zara was uneasy, but she was putting on a good front at least. She was terrible at shielding which made her easy to read, but also pissed him off. Why was it that the Jedi had no foresight to help her with these things? Something about feeling her emotions and glimpses of her thoughts made him feel.. off. It made him shield more so than usual, fearing that she could hear or feel what was going through his head.
He pushed the thought away by focusing on the next steps. He had to get to their destination then get her inside without her succumbing to the environment. He was hoping she wouldn’t try to bolt because that would make it dangerous for both. When they got closer to their destination, Veth held out a blindfold. Zara raised one eyebrow at him and shook her head.
“I’m not wearing that.” “Zara.” “Your threat of killing my men is over so you have no leverage over me.”
“I have two lightsabers and you’re stuck in this ship with me.”
“If you swing them, we both die. Are you suicidal?”
“Are you?”
Zara scowled and crossed her arms. Veth laughed at her which only soured her mood even more.
“Me not having leverage over you is exactly why I need you to wear this. You presumably have it planned that you figure out where you are and either get a message out or escape on your own. I do not want to harm you, but I will if I must.”
“So, wear this for my own protection?”
“Precisely, darling.”
Zara did nothing short of barking out a cackle.
“I am a Jedi Knight. I do not fear you. You may have manipulated me into going with you to keep my men safe but that does not mean I am easily fooled.”
“You don’t trust me.”
“Would you trust me if the roles were reversed?”
“Yes.”
Zara was taken back by his swift and solid answer. “What? Why would you trust me?”
“You’ve had many chances to fight me, yet you’d prefer to talk and negotiate. You don’t want to fight if you don’t have to. That is a trait we share.”
“Sith only want destruction.”
“That is what the Jedi teach.”
“That is the truth.” Veth sighed and looked at his companion fully.
“Give me one day, Zara Fross. Comply with me for that long then you can make your decision on if you’re going to fight back or not.”
“Why a day?”
“That’s how long it will take me to ensure that you are safe before you do something reckless like jumping off a cliff.”
She found herself biting back a laugh as she reached to snatch the blindfold. Veth made a disapproving noise in the back of his throat and motioned for her to turn. Zara grimaced but turned slightly, allowing her captor to place it over her eyes and tie it. She felt her face flush when he gently turned her and ensured her eyes were completely covered.
“I bet this is the easiest kidnapping you’ve ever conducted.”
“You are right, though you aren’t the first beautiful woman I’ve put a blindfold on. Now sit there like a good girl and we will be home soon enough.”
Shocked by his tone and words, Zara sat in silence instead of arguing. She told herself that it would never be home to her, just a temporary stop before she found her way back to the Jedi. She hoped that Anakin wasn’t causing too much trouble. Meanwhile Veth was openly grinning at her reaction to his touch and words. She couldn’t hide the flush to her cheeks or the way her lips parted in shock. He quickly thought to himself that he wouldn’t mind seeing that reaction coming from her more often.
— “Please pass along this to whomever needs it. And.. tell Anakin not to freak out. I’m alright, Ani. I’ll be back soon.”
“THAT is why you sent her without me!? You knew that creep would follow her!”
“Calm down, Anakin.” Mace said for what felt like the hundredth time.
“How can I calm down? He TOOK her!”
“She is perfectly capable of taking care of herself. There was no indication that she was harmed. He let her leave a message for Commander Cody.”
“Where is Commander Cody? He should be punished for leaving her alone in the first place.”
“Anakin Skywalker. You better watch your tone when you’re speaking to the council. I understand you care for your friend, but you need to recognize that we need to put our trust in her and her capabilities. You’re bordering on insulting with how little you believe in her.”
“Master Windu, I can’t agree with not sending someone to find her. To save her. We have no idea what that creep is doing to her. I should have gone with her in the first place, and this never would have happened! She told me she was going on a small mission for you!”
“You don’t need to know every mission that we conduct. You are not a Jedi Master. We also don’t know where she is. Once we get intel on her location, we will send someone to retrieve her. Until then, you have missions that you must accomplish. The war has not stopped, and you have not been relieved of any of your responsibilities.”
Anakin sighed and deflated. He nodded at Mace and ran his hands down his face.
“You’re right, Master. Just.. please keep me updated on her while I’m gone.”
Mace nodded at him and watched him leave. Yoda turned to him once the door shut and shook his head.
“Troubled, that boy is.”
“Yes. I know him and Zara are close, but he is so reckless.”
“No different, Zara would be.”
“No but she would have at least said those things to me in private instead of the entire counsel.”
Yoda chuckled and nodded, reaching over to pat Maces hand a few times. It was unspoken, but Master Windu was just as worried about his former Padawan as Anakin was, especially if the reports about Darth Veth were true.
— Anakin stalked down the hallway, unsure of what to do. He wanted to listen to the Council and understand that what Master Windu was saying was valid. They had no idea where she was. There was no way of knowing without her having any type of tracking or any real clues from her. He wondered if all of it was a lie. Maybe the Council did know where she was? They lied to him about leaving in the first place. No. Zara had lied to him. She told him that it was a quick mission and that she would be back soon. He knew he should have gone with her. He knew something was up. They hadn’t been cleared to do missions solo yet. It was coming soon but the official word wasn’t out yet. Why had she lied to him? She could have told him the truth. He wouldn’t have.. He sighed and rest his hand on her door before pushing it open. He stepped inside and looked around. He would have tried to stop her. He would have thrown a fit about her leaving alone. He can’t protect her when she is out there away from him, and the Council hated that he felt that way. Stars, even sometimes he hated that he felt that way. ---
Zara hated not having some semblance of control. It was why she preferred not to fight. No one could ever predict every move someone else would make. Words were easier for her to predict. So, stumbling through the snow without being able to see was not her idea of a good time.
“We’re almost there, darling.”
“I really wish you’d stop calling me that.”
“Would you prefer princess? Love? I’m sure I could find sweet pet names in different languages if that is what you would enjoy. I do know a bit of Mando’a.”
Zara stopped moving, turning to where she thought the man was and tried to glare.
“Fine. Stick with darling.”
He chuckled and gripped her arm a little tighter. He wasn’t hurting her, not that he even remotely wanted to. When she had stumbled a few times, he felt bad at how petrified she was at not being able to see. He had offered to carry her but that didn’t help the fear that was basically seeping from her pores.
When her teeth started chattering, he finally gave in and scooped her up. She gasped out of surprise and started to protest. She silenced when he shushed her and tentatively held onto him, afraid of being dropped.
“It’s quicker this way. Need to get you inside before you freeze to death.”
“Well, I wouldn’t run away would I.”
He chuckled and tightened his grip on her, picking up his pace. Within a few minutes he spotted their destination and got her inside. He deposited her gently on his couch and pulled the blindfold off.
“Get your boots off. You aren’t dressed for the cold, and you don’t want to lose toes because of it.”
She hesitated, taking in her surroundings but eventually pulled them off, setting them neatly by her. Veth looked at her as he was taking off his heavy jacket and boots.
“You don’t need to sit there. You can explore.”
She stood warily, wincing at the feeling returning to her feet. She walked throughout the main living space and noticed how simple it was. She half expected a home more industrial and extravagant. It didn’t scream Sith Lord to her.
Making her way down the hallway, she investigated each room. She was surprised to see that there were two bedrooms and a fairly large refresher. The last room she came to intrigued her enough to walk in. Every wall was covered from floor to ceiling in books and holocrons.
“I figured this would be the room I’d find you in.”
Zara glanced over her shoulder and wrapped her arms around herself. Veth walked in and stood next to her.
“You are welcome to read anything in here. I would have brought some of the texts from our meeting spot but figured they’d just be another weapon for you to use against me.”
“I wouldn’t risk destroying history like that.”
“Then I trust you all the more in my personal library. I have placed warm clothes in the refresher. Take your time as this planet has no water restrictions or issues. I will be making some food to eat. Come find me when you are done.”
He went to walk out but Zara reached out and touched his arm lightly, recoiling as soon as she did.
“Why.. why am I here?”
“Are you asking that or asking why you aren’t shackled and bleeding?”
“I guess I’m asking both.”
“Go shower. I will answer all questions within reason when you are done.”
—
Zara stepped out of the shower and wiped at the mirror in front of her. She considered braiding her hair but with the cold she needed it to dry as soon as possible. She looked down at the counter and saw that there was a brush. With a shrug she picked it up and worked it through her hair.
It had gotten much longer than she usually let it grow. When she was younger, she kept it short to keep it out of her face but now it was down to her mid back. She ran her fingers across the short side she had cut and thought of Anakin. He had dared her to do it thinking she would care too much about her hair. She had laughed so hard when she saw the expression on his face when she cut the portion.
She wondered how Anakin was. It wasn’t abnormal not to talk to him for days at a time, but now she didn’t even have the capability to. He was her best friend and the idea of not seeing him again brought a pain to her chest she had never felt before. It was always a little stressful when she was away from him. She had been with him most of his life. She just always told herself that he would be fine, and they would see each other soon. He would return to the temple and.. She guess that didn’t matter anymore. Sure, he would return to the temple but she wasn’t there. She wouldn’t be waiting for him to land or be surprised with a smirk as he leaned against the doorway to the library when he got back earlier than expected. No late night holos or sitting in the garden talking about anything and everything. Hell she would even take the boring food in the mess hall as long as it meant sitting with him. Stars, she missed him already. She chalked it up to the unknown. She had no idea what was going to happen to her or what she could even do. She just..
Zara shook her head, trying to will away the negative thoughts. Instead, she focused on the bright color of her hair. It had been another dare of Anakin. He thought Mace would be furious with her but instead he had given her a soft smile and a nod, letting her know it fit her. Master Windu always wanted her to be herself in a way that fit the code. Her appearance didn’t matter as long as she lived the code and was proud of being a Jedi.
She looked down at the clothes and frown. They were most definitely the Sith’s robes. She considered putting her own back on, but he was right; it was cold. Once she was dressed in the black robes that were just slightly too big for her, she hung her towel up and went back out to the main living area. --- Veth stood in the kitchen as he worked on food. He knew he was starving and assumed that she must be as well. He started to zone out on what he was doing until he was hit with her emotions. It was like running into a brick wall, or maybe being run into by a brick wall.
He could feel her fear and the pit in her chest. Her mind was racing so the feelings and emotions were swirling faster than he could catch on. He was just able to see small feelings and words as she panicked. Anakin. Lost. Pain. Longing. Companionship. Safety. Home. Heartbreak. He set his hands on the counter and gripped it tightly, not comfortable with how strong the emotions were. He was used to anger and heartbreak but this was.. this was unbearable. Is this what attachment brought? No, she shouldn’t be attached to him. Not to that extent. Unless.. Unless she had been lying about the connection. The things she seemed to be feeling would have been highly frowned upon by her Masters. That he was sure of. He needed to figure it out. For his master, of course. Not that he cared. Not that it mattered. His mind flashed to how her cheeks flushed and for just a moment he wondered if the Skywalker boy had made her flush like that before he shoved everything from his mind and slammed his wall back up. He stood back up and stirred the foot just in time to hear footsteps behind him.
“Ah, hello there. I hope your shower was enjoyable.”
She nodded, not having the energy to argue with him anymore. He motioned for the table that already had food waiting for her. She sat down gently and looked at the food.
“Stars, I know I’m not a great cook, but it isn’t enough to be sad over.”
When she didn’t look up at him, he sighed and sat next to her, digging into his own food. She eventually picked up her utensils and started eating. It was warm and well-seasoned, but it did little to improve her mood.
“Lord Veth, why am I here?”
He used his napkin to pat at his mouth before sitting back in his chair. It struck her as odd at how sophisticated he was, again. It went against everything that she had been taught about the Sith and how they lived their life.
“I promised you answers. I will give you as many as I can. Then you can be informed if you want to fight against your captivity or not.”
He took a drink of the wine in front of him before crossing on leg over the other.
“I first heard of you when you started your missions with the Skywalker boy.”
“You’ve called him Ani. Why?”
“I’ll get there, my dear. I was tasked with observing you and finding a way to get you away from him. You see, my Master desperately wants the boy. He has plans for him. He doesn’t think that he will stray from the Jedi as long as you are around him. You’re a rather calming presence for him just as much as he challenges you to come out of your shell.”
“He’s my best friend.”
Zara felt her chest tighten again at the thought of Anakin and the vulnerability she was showing.
“Without you around he can fulfill the role my Master expects of him. I was given the option to just kill you but the more I learned of you the more I saw how much of a waste that would be. You’re a strong Jedi and an even smarter woman. You care deeply for those around you regardless of it being a stretch in the code you swore yourself to.”
“That doesn’t explain how you know Anakin.”
“I was with Qui Gon when he found him.”
“You?”
He chuckled and nodded, brushing his hair back out of his face.
“Yes. I went by an entirely different name back then, but I was there.”
Zara furrowed her brow and tried to figure out who he possibly could be. She chewed on her bottom lip as she tried desperately to pull up the memory.
“Master Windu told me of a padawan Master Jinn had. He died though so he took on Anakin.”
“I did not die. I’m sure he thought I did with the fiery explosion. My Masters other apprentice found me barely clinging to life. The Jedi never even looked for me.”
“That’s.. terrible. I am so very sorry that they didn’t.. there had to have been a reason they didn’t-”
Zara sat up straighter when anger flashed across the man’s face. His eyes seemed even more dangerous and for the first time she didn’t feel safe around him. She stood up and he followed, backing her against the wall. He caged her in by placing his hands on each side of her head.
“Do not mistake my civility as us being friends, Jedi. I will treat you as my guest, but I will not have the betrayal they put me through excused or brushed off by anyone. Is that understood?” She stayed silent so one of his hands shot up, grabbing her chin rough enough to make a point but not enough to hurt her, making her look up at him. “Is that understood?”
“Y-yes.”
“Good girl.”
He stood up, dropping his hands to his sides before reaching up and tracing his finger across her jaw gently with a feral smile. She looked up at him trying to steel herself against him. She had almost let herself forget that he was a dangerous Sith keeping her captive.
“Why don’t you finish eating then we can talk more. Like I said earlier, there is much I wish to learn about you.”
—
Zara sat curled up on the end of the couch, trying to keep warm. Regardless of what she was wearing, she couldn’t seem to shake the cold. Her previous thoughts of hating the heat were coming back to haunt her. She jumped when she felt something rest against her shoulders until she saw the Sith was laying a thick blanket across her.
“Uh, thank you.”
“You’re very welcome, my dear.”
He sat down next to her, far enough away that they weren’t touching.
“It unfortunately gets very cold at night here.”
“Where are we, Hoth?”
“No, but a planet very similar.”
“Stars how do you deal with it?”
“I manage.”
She pulled the blanket tighter around herself and shivered.
“May I ask you what your name was before?”
“You may. However, for every question I answer you need to answer two of mine.”
“Two? How is that fair?”
“Who said anything about fair?”
She looked over at him and scowled at his sly grin. She turned so she was facing him more with her knees pulled up to her chest. He was already turned slightly to the side with his legs spread apart and his arm thrown over the back of the couch.
“Fine. What was your name.”
“Obi-Wan Kenobi.”
“Obi.. wow.”
“You know the name?”
“I do. Master Jinn spoke of you often while Anakin and I were training.”
He rolled his jaw before forcing the emotion to fall from his face. He was smiling again before she even could comprehend that he had been upset.
“What planet are you from?”
“Alderaan.”
“Good family?”
“The best. Wonderful parents. Well off. Supportive in my quest to become a Jedi.”
“Interesting. That explains your education and manners.”
She shrugged and smiled softly.
“Can I assume you’re from Coruscant?”
“No. I don’t really remember though I was very young when I went there. Thus, the accent.”
“Makes sense. The Jedi usually take in children at a young age.”
“You mean steal them.”
Not wanting to anger him more, she fell silent.
“Were you at the temple before Anakin?”
“Yes. Not very long though. Maybe a week or two if I remember correctly.”
“Then I just missed you it seems.”
She nodded and shivered again.
“What is the extent of your relationship with Skywalker?”
Her head shot up at that question. She looked him directly in his eyes and saw a cautious curiosity.
“I’ve told you. He’s my best friend.”
“It seems deeper than that. He was positively furious when I called you darling.”
“He’s.. protective. He had to leave his mother and I was the first person he truly connected to after that. Master Windu worried he was corrupting me but there were many times he kept me sane.”
“Explain more, please.”
She smirked and shook her head.
“You’re being awfully careful not to ask another question.”
“Trying to play by the rules, my dear.”
She chuckled and played with the edge of the blanket.
“I think maybe if there hadn’t been a code, we would have grown closer.”
“So, you turned him down.”
“Not necessarily. It’s not like we talked about it. We just knew it wasn’t what the Jedi would need from us. Have you ever been in love?”
“Yes.”
She decided not to press him more when his answer was clipped. She lowered her eyes and chewed on her bottom lip again.
“Do you love Anakin?”
“I.. I’ve never let myself love anyone. My destiny is to be a Jedi Master. I won’t let anything deter that.”
“Interesting. So, you don’t indulge in physical pleasure?”
She snorted and he raised his eyebrows in response.
“I’m not a prude. I just don’t let myself feel possessive or attached to them.”
“So, why not with Anakin then? You two are already close.”
She shrugged and laughed, her face feeling warm.
“Doesn’t really need to be thought about. It didn’t happen and won’t.” “It seems like you’re deflecting. Maybe denial.” “I’m not in denial.” “Hmm.” Zara glared at him so he chuckled before moving on.
“You’re rather open with me. Not what I expected considering who your Master was.”
“I would rather give you this information willingly in a way that I can benefit from it. Considering what the alternative is I think it’s safer that way.”
He chuckled and carded his hand through his hair again.
“You are wise beyond your years, darling. I do wonder why you were so willing to tell me about Anakin though. You know he is in danger.”
“Nothing that I told you is anything you couldn’t have found out just by watching us. You actually probably would have assumed there was more to it. I know the council did many times.”
“I still do think there is more to it.” “There isn’t.”
“No stolen glances, or late nights sneaking out?”
Zara felt her face heat up and she looked down.
“Ah. So there is a bit of denial in there.”
“It’s not.. I don’t know how to explain it.”
“Try.”
Zara shifted, uncomfortable at the poking and prodding. She didn’t want to think about Anakin because it hurt not knowing when she would be back with him.
“Sure, we snuck out a lot. Most of the time we ended up on the roof or in the garden just talking. Nothing.. happened. I think.. well the code is never going to change so it doesn’t really matter what could have been or maybe might have been.”
“The heart wants what it wants regardless of rules set in place.”
Zara let out a yawn, trying to cover her face as she did. Veth chuckled and stood, motioning for her to lay down on the couch.
“There is a spare room, but it is much warmer out here. I’ll check on the fire throughout the night.”
She curled up and made sure the blanket was wrapped tightly around her. He added more wood to the fire and dusted his hands off as he stood up. He paused at the doorway and looked at the sleepy Jedi on his couch.
“Goodnight, Zara.”
“Goodnight, Lord Veth.”
“You can call me Obi Wan, if you’d prefer.”
“I thought we weren’t friends, Obi Wan?”
“You’re starting to grow on me a bit, darling.”
With a smirk he left, leaving her even more confused than the first time she met him. Zara was terrified of the situation she was in but knew she had to play his game. As she drifted to sleep, she worried about her best friend and what they could possibly want from him. She had to find a way to warn him and protect him. --- Zara gasped for air in the smoke. Every time she took in a breath it felt like her lungs were on fire. Everything smelled like burning fuel and.. what was that smell?
She pushed forward, shielding her eyes from the fire and bright explosions as she stumbled. She wanted to cry out for Cody and Anakin, but her lungs hurt like hell. Once she found a comms device, she fell to her knees and tried to see what it was saying but her eyes were blurry from all the smoke. Suddenly the smoke cleared enough for her to see white armor on the ground in front of her. She crawled forward and grabbed, pulling the person towards her. She cried out when she was met by the vacant stare of Cody. She sobbed and pulled him to her, checking his pulse but there was none. “No! No Cody please! Please I am so sorry I don’t.. I don’t even know what happened!”
Zara pressed her hand to his face and sobbed again when she felt how cold he was. She looked around and realized the smell was that of her troops in the wreckage. There they all were.. how did she miss it before?
She felt arms wrap around her gently from behind and instantly recognized the comfort of Anakin. She pressed further into his chest and continued to cry, holding Cody to her as tightly as possible.
“You need to let go, Zar. You need to let go. Zara. Zara, darling.”
Darling?
---
“Zara. Zara dear, you need to wake up. Come on, sweetheart.”
She woke with a gasp and looked around, unaware of where she was. She jumped when she realized Obi Wan was kneeling by the couch with his hand on her shoulder. He looked worried; his hair still disheveled from sleeping.
“W-what? What is it?”
“You were crying out in your sleep. Gave me a terrible fright when I heard you. Are you okay?”
“Yeah. Yeah, I’m f-fine. Sorry. Sorry for startling you.”
“What was wrong?”
“I just.. I have nightmares. I’m fine. I’ll be fine. Don’t let me keep you up.”
She sat up, pulling away from his touch. He stood and moved to the fire, tending to it like he had been doing it his entire life. She watched him as she worked on controlling her breathing, wiping at her face. Although nightmares weren’t new to her, being woken by someone she didn’t know was. She felt ashamed and embarrassed that he had heard her crying.
“Tell me, darling, do the Jedi know of your nightmares?”
“It’s hard to find one of us who doesn’t have them. War never really leaves us.”
“You’re fighting against a droid army.”
“We don’t use droids to fight.”
Her voice was harsh and clipped, surprising Obi Wan. He walked to her, stopping only to kneel in front of her on the floor. She wrapped the blanket tighter around her and watched him with unease.
“You really do care about your clones, don’t you?”
“They’re people. Living breathing people. Their history or how they came to life doesn’t concern me. What concerns me is-“
“Stars, Zara, they’re just clones. More can be made.”
“You sound like Senator Palpatine.”
“He must be wise then.”
“Far from it! He may have Anakin fooled with his tactics and how things should be but he’s no better than you with that type of thinking.”
“Oh, and how am I?”
“So high and mighty that you have no regard for life. Even now you play games with me, dangling the idea of my death over my head. You’re no better than a bored loth cat playing with a mouse.”
“Are you comparing yourself to a rodent?”
He smirked and it infuriated Zara. She snarled and tried to get up, wanting space between the two of them. Before she could even fully try, Obi Wans hands shot out and grabbed her thighs tightly, keeping her in place.
“Do not run from me.”
“I’m not running.”
“Then tell me.”
“I am comparing you to a predator with absolutely no humanity. Your tricks will not work on me. You may have been a Jedi once, but it is clear as day that you are no longer harboring any shred of light in you. Go ahead and pretend that you’re civil and sophisticated while you keep me prisoner on this despot of a planet. It doesn’t matter how kind or human you pretend to be. You’re nothing short of a monster. You’ll never be able to hide the evil coursing through you when it burns so brightly through your eyes.”
Zara held back a wince as his grip tightened on her legs. The normal playfulness that he usually held on to his face was long gone. The more she spoke, the angrier he became. She had no idea how much he had gone through to keep her alive, let alone comfortable.
“There she is. There is the conceited Jedi I knew had to have been in there. I saved your life, little knight. I spared your men knowing that it would harm you to wipe them out. I let you stay awake and conscious of what was happening. I gave you my clothes to wear so you would be warm and let you know parts of me that I didn’t need to divulge. Without me, you would be dead along with your entire regiment.”
“How do I even know a single thing you’ve said to me is true? Sith lie.”
“Now you question my integrity? When have you discovered anything, I have said to you is a lie?”
“It all has to be a lie! Why would anyone that follows the dark want Anakin? He is a good man. He is devoted to those he loves and the family he has created within the order. He would never fall to the dark side. He wouldn’t do that to them. He wouldn’t do that to-“
“To what? Or were you going to say to who? He wouldn’t do that to you. Is that what you were going to say? Hmm?”
When Zara fell silent Obi Wan laughed out darkly.
“My dear, pull the right strings and anyone could fall to the dark. He has a weakness, and it is you.”
“It’s not like that with me!”
“Does he know that? You see, I have been in love before, and it didn’t matter how far away I ended up from her. It never went away. Even once I heard of her death, I still mourned her and the love we could have shared if I had just let myself fall.”
She shook her head quickly.
“He will do what our master’s ask of us. He will help win this war and-“
“Now who is the liar, Zara? I’ve heard some doozies coming from the lips of Jedi, but I have never heard someone so willing to lie when the truth is right in their face. The fall of Anakin Skywalker has already begun. Your absence, regardless of what is causing it, is going to make him desperate. He will do anything to either get you back or avenge you. Look me in the eyes and tell me that I’m wrong.” “It’s not-“
“Tell me that he won’t burn the entire galaxy down just to find you.”
Zara opened her mouth to argue but quickly shut it.
“That’s what I thought.”
He released her legs and stood, looking down at her with anger.
“Get some rest. Lack of sleep makes you ungrateful and it’s not a good look.”
Once he was in his room, punctuated by a slam of his door, Zara finally let her tears fall. She wanted to talk to Master Windu to get clarity. She needed to hear that Veth, Obi Wan, whoever he was, was wrong. Feeling hopeless and helpless wasn’t something she was accustomed to, and it was tearing her to shreds.

For the first sentence game: "Why have you been so secretive lately?"
I sat kneeling before my Master, as I always did out of respect for the Lannik man, and tried to reason out whether lying would even be worth it.
"It's nothing bad," I told him without meeting his eyes. "I promise."
"If that is so, why would you keep it from me?" He asked with a heavy sigh and I could tell by his tone he'd had a difficult day in the Council's meeting. My actions were doing nothing for his already stormy mood, it seemed.
I opened my mouth to give an answer, but before I could I was interrupted by a knock at the open door.
"Are you ready?" Asked Obi-Wan as he stepped into the room, fully oblivious to the situation he'd intruded upon.
"Ready for what, exactly, Padawan?"
"She hasn't told you yet? Rylesha, you said you would!" My friend gave me a disappointed scowl as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Obi-Wan has been helping me practice my saber forms," I told him and finally met his gaze.
"Is this true?" My Master asked and Obi-Wan confirmed that it was. "Why would you hide this from me?"
"M-Master Pong said-" I started and was cut off before I could even finish the sentence.
"Krell has no say over you or your studies and would do well to keep his-" the words turned quickly into a string of Lannik that I remembered vaguely as curses.
Once he'd composed himself he stepped up to me, placing his hands on my shoulders.
"Go and practice," he told me with a small smile. "I want to see what you've learned tomorrow during your usual study session, yes?"
I agreed and joined my friend, though I had to hear an earful from him about the entire ordeal. Honestly? I wasn't sure which I liked less; Master Pong or Obi-Wan's disappointed lecturing.

Thank you for the idea, @ladysongmaster! 💜

Hypnotic - Prologue
Sith!Obi Wan x Jedi!OC Explicit (18+) This story was originally completed in May of 2021, but I decided that I needed to expand and give it the time that it deserved. The original version still lives on Tumblr but I have it listed at the bottom of the Obi Wan Masterlist. Overall, I don’t think this will be changing much, but I don’t think I gave the story the justice that it deserves. So.. here we go!
Zara didn’t have a tragic backstory. She wasn’t someone that people felt pity for whenever they heard her name. The only loss she had really gone through was leaving her loving parents when it was time to train to be a Jedi. It was something her parents had expected: hiding her away until they felt like she was old enough to make the decision.
Zara wanted to be a Jedi and anything she put her mind to seemed to happen for her.
She was a small girl the first time she stood in front of Mace Windu. He had thought she was far too small to begin direct training, especially under him, but Yoda was right; she was stronger than she seemed. Zara had a certain determination and calmness behind her eyes that instantly gave Master Windu the connection he knew he needed when taking on a padawan.
Training under him wasn’t easy by any means. Zara was pushed to her limits, but she always pushed forward with grace and resiliency. Master Windu had worried when she became fast friends with Anakin Skywalker, but it never seemed to deter her from the path she was on.
She was one of the most dedicated padawans he had ever seen. Even if her compassion worried him, seeing her walk up to the scared boy and deciding they were friends was amusing. He wouldn’t admit it, but most of his tolerance for Anakin came from how easily Zara made friends with him. There was no hesitation, no questioning for her. She decided they would be friends and they never stayed apart from each other for long.
He held so much pride as he watched her grow into a young Jedi Knight. Other Masters would fret and worry about their padawans transitions, but not him. No, he knew that she would pass every test handed to her.
The only thing he could have possibly wanted to change was how quick with sarcasm she was. It shouldn’t have surprised him with how close she was with the Skywalker boy. He couldn’t really blame it on him though; she had always been a little shit when she wanted to be. Obedient to a fault but stars did she like to push his buttons.
He wouldn’t ever admit it to her, but he did find it endearing. Most of the time. There had been times when he was in a negotiation and instead of sitting back and letting him handle it, she would call out whoever was wrong; regardless of who it was. She had a way of saying the harshest things with a soft smile on her face.
He knew that deep down he wouldn’t change a thing about her. She was his star pupil, his prodigy. Possession was a straight path to the dark side but being proud of her accomplishments was the closest he would ever get to that. She was her own person and made her own choices, but he liked to think that even just a sliver of her success was due to his training.
Zara would have thrived under any Master. They all knew it. Despite that, she was thankful for having Master Windu train her and guide her through her trials. She wouldn’t admit it to him, but he meant a great deal to her. His approval and praise meant the world to her. She wasn’t competitive with the other padawans, short of small bets with Anakin. Knowing that she was getting stronger and making Master Windu proud was what spurred her on.
She was proud to be a Jedi Knight. Zara told Anakin many times that there wouldn’t ever be a single thing or person in the galaxy that could change that for her. Being a Jedi was her destiny and Zara Fross was hell bent that nothing would ever get in the way of that.

...I just needed a default color ref. Probably could have made it simpler.
Now, should I design them faces or just keep them always in masks?
