"You leave her out of all this." He told him, hold her tightly. "You've got me doing what you want already." He glared up at his tormenter, their tormenter. He wanted him gone, he wanted to do whatever task he wanted and then leave with Taania.
"What do you want her to do?" He asked cautiosly. He bit his lower lip in slight anxiety. He had the distinct feeling he didn't want to know, but his heart and mind pushed him to ask.

"Her sister picked up..." Eliaith paused. "Something on Myrkr. Dear Taania knows what it was too. I want her to find her sister and get it."
Taania's face immediately drained of any color it may've possessed.
"She asked for it to be brought in there in Lathania's name," Eliaith continued. "But her sister picked it up now... and I want her to get it back. And I think she will."
"I don't have any reason to," Taania spat.
Eliaith smiled. "Yes, you do."
Taania drew closer to Raze. She had a feeling that she didn't want to hear this.
"You do, because I have your niece."
And somehow she managed to go paler than she was before. All attempts to fight back drained from her features, all the fight and blather gone. She suddenly realized that she was helpless because she knew he wasn't lying. It was in his eyes, flickering in the Force...
"I have a niece?" she managed to whisper.
"Why, yes..." Eliaith smiled. "You have a niece and a nephew. Rather cute little twins they were, until they got split up."
And she decided that would be a good moment to faint.

Raze glared up at Eliath. He hated him, despised him. "You..." Raze fought against his anger, failing desprately. "Why don't you leave us alone? You attempt to use us instead of doing things yourself. You're spineless..."
He glared again and held Taania close to him. "Then you do this..." He ground his teeth and looked straight into the man's eyes. "You're patetic." He finished, meaning every word. He had no honor, no respect, and worst of all, no courage. Raze wanted to attack him, to hurt, no, kill him.

Eliaith couldn't help but smile a toothy smile that would've fit him far better were he a vampire or a werewolf. But he wasn't. "You really think I'm a spineless coward, don't you?" He knelt, breaking the hieght barrier to gaze at Raze. "You think because I make others do my work, I can't do my own."
His expression hardly flickered. "I get others to aid me because it saves time and effort on my part. It enables me to do more than one thing at one." He narrowed his eyes. "And you will kill your Master, or see your little girlfriend's death. And she will bring back the thing Lathania found on Myrkr."
And Eliaith kept the smile. "And I'll be off to find an old friend. But trust me. I'm not spineless, and I suggest you keep that opinion to yourself unless you wish to discover just how well that works."

Raze couldn't look away. He stayed silent, yet wasn't bowing to him, wasn't giving him the satisfaction to know he had gotten to him. Raze glowered and didn't move.
When the sith had said 'girlfriend' Raze nearly turned to look at Taania, but instead pulled her closer as if Eliath was going to merely grab her and pull his love from the Zabrak's grasp.
"She won't do it." Raze said finally. His eyes still locked on to his enemy's. "She'll run, she will." He didn't truely beleive it, deep down he knew she wouldn't run. He continued to look at him, contempt on his features.

"You want to kill me, yet you can't release her from your arms." The Sith let himself sound mocking. "You want to strangle me, yet you cannot let go of the girl you grew to love. You want to gaze at her features, yet you refuse to lend me the satisfaction of having you look away."
He smiled thinly. "You're torn, Raziel. You know the girl will not run. She's a Jedi Master. It's in her blood to protect innocents. Unless you were to turn her, so she wouldn't think about twice about letting me destroy the girl, she wouldn't allow it."

"I will never, never, turn her." He spat. "And I will not give the pleasure of turning her either."
His breath shook and his hold on Taania strengthened. "You are right, I have come to love her. I will not see any harm come to her." He sneered at his captor angrily. "You hurt her..." He started threateningly.

((When I glanced at the top post in this thread, I accidently read it as "You leave her hair out of this". I'm tired. -_-))
"And you'll what?" Eliaith snorted. "You'll poke me? You'll spit in my face? Perhaps you'll throw her at me. The latter might actually be a decent threat, she could very well be damaging to me.
"You're not very threatening like that. The girl just adds to the appearance of a weakling, a coward afraid to see someone die." Eli was very good at keeping his expression from wavering. Not a flicker crossed his face. "If I hurt her, you might actually turn out to be of some use."

"If you hurt her I'll kill you." He told him harshly. "I will." His voice had no hint of doubt, he himself didn't doubt it. If this man hurt his love he would kill him swiftly and without mercy.
He felt a roaring, white hot rage inside him, wanting to escape. Raze felt shut his mouth before he said something that would endanger both Taania and himself.

"Do you really believe that you could?" Eliaith's expression tightened slightly. "You think me a coward, but if you did kill me, you would die shortly afterwards from mortal wounds, child. You speak empty threats."
Taania stirred slightly, a slight outcry escaping from her mouth. She was afraid to open her eyes again.

Raze placed a comforting hand on her brow, yet still looked at the face of the man he had grown to hate in a very short time. He didn't speak, just a blaring silence. Raze's breath was ragged with effort to restrain himself. He wanted to spit on this man's face, to beat him to a pulp, never giving him a moment to reach for his weapon. Raze's eyes narrowed, yet he still remained slilent.

"Then you're the coward," Eliaith whispered harshly, "if you cannot bring yourself to toss aside morals to destroy someone who could kill a universe. One life for many, was it not?"
Yet the words were hollow, Eliaith's eyes said far more than his words ever could have. They said that if Raze dared attack him, Taania would be dead in an instant, and Raze would lose even if he was able to kill the Sith...
Taania shuddered, and moved enough to grab the Zabrak's hand.

"If you have anything else to say," Raze said, "Say it." He knew exactly what would happen if he attacked. If Raze would fight Taania would be hurt, killed even, and Raze would loose. Yet the zabrak also knew that the sith knew killing Taania would make Raze useless, unmotivated. It was a lock, yet Eliath had the upper hand and could twist Raze more easily than he could Eliath.

Eliaith smiled. "You'll be leaving in three standard hours. I suggest you get some proper rest." The Sith grabbed his robe, and whirled to leave the room, leaving them again briefly alone.

Raze held Taania tightly, fearing to let go, but looking away from the door. He gazed down on her and wished they could have just not have this happen to them. He wanted them out of this cell and somewhere peaceful, away from here.
"Taania..." He whispered. "I'm sorry..." He bowed his head and sighed, afraid of what was to come, what he was going to have to do.

"My sister had children," she whispered dumbfoundedly, as the narrator forgot whether she knew this before and decided it was pretty likely she wouldn't've. "She broke every law in the blasted Jedi Code..." The Jedi Master's expression was unreadable, confused, broken.
Runs in the family, I guess...

"Taania..." He murmured. "Just... don't think about that... at least for now, please." He wanted her to be happy, or at least closer to happy than to despair and shock. He only had three hours, three basic hours left before he had to leave. Raze wasn't sure if he would ever see Taania again after that and he wanted to make sure that if he didn't, if he died, that she would remember him.

Despair and shock... shock... shock... can't think can't breathe can't do anything can't even try to breathe in without falling apart... Her thoughts didn't want to cooperate. Her mind had no control. And she knew that had been Eliaith's intent.
I used her name to get the holocran. Now she has it. She shouldn't've gotten it, but she did... now I have to get it back, give it to him... how can I do that... it's betraying my morals...
Betrayed them already. I shouldn't let him hold me... it's against the Code... but I can't shove him away, it's my choice... already choose, can't stay Jedi now...
She couldn't think. Her thoughts wanted to be their own being. She just wanted to scream, to die...

Raze leaned in close. "Taania..." He whispered gently in her ear. "My love, please..." He placed a tiny kiss on her cheek and stroked her hair.
"Everything will be fine." He said, not truely beleiving it, but he wanted it to be so badly. He held her, making sure she didn't faint again. He rested her against his body, for support, like he should do.

"Why do you do this?" Somehow her voice managed to find itself, tiny and hollow in the depths of the cell. It was as broken as her jagged and cut off thoughts, twisted from pain that shouldn't've been there... Had I stayed...
Still she wonders why...
"Why do you continually try to find hope when there isn't any? Why do you love me?" Why?! A question that meant far more than it seemed on the outside.
