It felt liberating; to know the kind and beautiful future he could have with Odette. The Force, in all its power, revealed just a fragment of what that path held. A tender relationship with Odette, an understanding between father and son, a worthwhile duty to the Jedi Order ... That could have been his life, if he had not known the falsehood and betrayal it was built upon. The horrendous actions that had led to such a pitiful belief in Luke's so-called-peace. Their kiss, her lips, the panic that made her tender flesh, her gentle kiss, a tad rushed, would be the last. It was calculated, a primal response to her Light Side energy, a near perfect counter attack. For the Dark Side around him had vanished, ceased wholly its work outwardly. Ben, whom conflict had stoked the chaotic, passionate nature of the Dark Side, was now resolute. Odette would never understand as long as she held onto Luke and his Order. Even in his most desperate of hours, she still grasped for that decrepit, dead, fool. Ben's shivers stalled and behind his ravenous curls, he hid a cold indifference on his face. He frowned for a split-second then smiled tightly, his lip quivering just a bit. Ben anchored himself to the ground, her judicious pull being met with inertia. [color=red][b]"Odette,"[/b][/color] he uttered, his hand raising towards her face slowly, the Force assailing her body in a stasis locking field. In that state he allowed himself to cup her cheek, to let all of his affection seep through his skin and into her. His cold eyes looked for anything but her own. [color=red][b]"I [i]won't[/i] do this anymore. I imagined for months that I could convince you to join me but I was wrong... You will never abandoned this sham, this lie made real. The Jedi and the Rebellion are the ones who are [i]evil[/i], they've toss this galaxy into chaos. Allowed this mess of a reality to thrive."[/b][/color] The darkness inside held him, embraced him, swayed its malice to the brim, until nothing was left but an iota of light. His hand remained stretched out, a constant flux of Dark Side energy powering the stasis on her. [color=red][b]"...Luke tried to kill me, did you know that? Did you even think him capable of such dark actions. I bet you didn't."[/b][/color] Ben laughed, a great and terrible feeling reminding him of the Knights' arrival. [color=red][b]"I'm going to destroy it all, Odette. I'll kill everything and everyone he's ever love and leave the thing I loved the most to bear witness."[/b][/color] He came to within in inch of her, finally allowing their eyes to meet. [color=red][b]"I'm sorry, My one-and-only love,"[/b][/color] he told her, though his voice sounded unconvincing. Then with a decisive thrust of his hand over her head, he began the fight to subjugate her consciousness to sleep.[/indent][/indent]
